Denmark: Two misunderstanders of Islam arrested in jihad terror plot connected to Muhammad cartoons
PET’s former operative chief Hans Joergen Bonnichsen said: “To me there is no doubt that the latest arrests are rooted in the Muhammad cartoons.” Yet still no one in the West denounces the madness and irrationality of killing and plotting to kill over cartoon images.

Afghan women leave the country in fear of Taliban return
Good thing we expended all that American blood and treasure to fight the Afghan jihadists, eh? Meanwhile, note that the problem here is not just the Taliban, but the Afghan government — both of which are committed to Sharia, which denies women basic rights. “Afghan women leave the country in fear of Taliban return,” by […]
Egypt: Muslim mobs set fire to headquarters of presidential candidate opposing Muslim Brotherhood

Are they reading the writings of greasy Islamophobes? More on this story. Tiny Minority of Extremists Update: “Thousands of Tunisians [sic] Salafis: ‘Obama, We Are All Osama’; MC […]
Skopje: Muslims demonstrate, shouting “Allahu akbar,” “jihad” and “death to the Christians”

A Memorial Day in a time of peace
The war on terror is long over. The Taliban are not the enemy of the U.S. Military and intelligence training materials have been scrubbed of any hint that there is any Islamic jihad against the U.S. As far as the U.S. Government is concerned, there isn’t. The Obama Administration has applauded and in some cases […]
Yet another Malaysian non-Muslim house of worship demolished
The word ‘non-Muslim’ above is almost without a doubt superfluous, because whenever a house of worship in Malaysia gets bulldozed, smashed, demolished, or destroyed, you can safely bet the farm that the house of worship in question isn’t a mosque, surau or madrassah. This time it’s yet another Hindu temple that has been leveled, in […]
