Jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders nine people who didn’t burn the Qur’an
Not that murdering those who did burn the Qur’an would be justified. But to murder people who had nothing to do with it throws into sharp relief how insane this all is — and yet no Western leader dares stand up and say so. “U.S. cites ‘heightened threat’; 9 killed in Afghan airport bomb,” by […]

In “For Religious Minorities in the Middle East — With Friends Like Obama, Who Needs Enemies?!” at RedState, February 24 (thanks to John), Rick Santorum says what Barack Obama should be saying about the Muslim persecution of Christians in the Middle East: President Obama has an amazing ability to make Jimmy Carter’s foreign policies look […]
Ex-Muslim in Muslim country discusses Islamic supremacism
I’ve often remarked on the consistent and repellent arrogance of Islamic supremacists, and now at the Liberated blog the ex-Muslim who writes from a Muslim country discusses some of its wellsprings: Even when I was a Muslim, I often used to wonder why the hell these Muslims are so proud of themselves and their legacy.

Afghanistan: Seven U.S. troops wounded in attack on NATO base; Afghan intel officer identified as Interior Ministry assassin
Apology after apology has only conveyed the message that Afghans are justified in their all-consuming rage and ongoing lethal tantrum. “Seven U.S. soldiers wounded after Afghan NATO base attacked,” by Fraidoon Elhaam and Hamid Shalizi for Reuters, February 26: KUNDUZ/KABUL, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Seven U.S. military trainers were wounded on Sunday when a grenade was […]

Al-Qaeda in Iraq warns of “stage of real confrontation and war against the despicable Shiites”
“There’s still a tendency to see these things in Sunni-Shia terms. But the Middle East is going to have to overcome that.” – Condoleezza Rice, January 2007. But the mutual Islamophobia in Iraq continues, and as this report describes, the Maliki government is knee-deep in it. “Al Qaeda in Iraq Warns of Looming War With […]
NPR notices “growing tensions” between Muslims and Christians in Egypt
It is good to see NPR running a story like this, but here again is the use of the discussion of “tensions,” which suggests a situation of mutual hostilities. By contrast, all of the incidents the report chronicles are of Muslims attacking Christians. “In Egypt, Christian-Muslim Tension Is On The Rise,” by Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson […]
Pakistan: Christian teacher accused of blasphemy, arrested
As generally seems to be the case, all that was needed was a rumor that Saira Khokar burned a Qur’an. That is a handy excuse, since the accusers can claim the evidence was consumed in the fire. The next question for police should be: who has a score to settle with Saira Khokar or her […]

“Two months later, Aldawsari wrote he was trying to produce an ‘intelligent bomb,’ and he was doing his best to reach his goal of jihad by ‘money, deeds, sayings and killing.’” How did he come to misunderstand Islam so drastically as to think that jihad had anything to do with killing?
