Egypt: Muslim Brotherhood calls for “Friday of Martyrs” mass protests, hardly anyone shows up
The Brotherhood’s greatest triumph — its attaining power in Egypt — has turned into its greatest disaster, and a massive erosion of its popular support in Egypt. But it isn’t dead by any means, contrary to some overconfident reports in the Western media, and it will be heard from again. Meanwhile, its stealth project in […]
Team involved in tracking Benghazi suspects leaving Libya permanently

Never pulling the trigger on arresting and prosecuting suspects helps ensure that the truth of what happened will not come out. “Team involved in tracking Benghazi suspects pulling out, sources say,” by Adam Housley for FoxNews.com, August 23 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): Two weeks after the Obama administration announced charges against suspects […]
Algeria opens investigation of donations to mosques used to fund jihad terror activities
Isn’t it “Islamophobic” even to suggest that mosques may have been financing jihad terror? Will there be an outcry against the Algerian Interior Ministry’s “racism” and “bigotry”? “Terrorism: Algeria, mosque funds under investigation,” from ANSAmed, August 22 (thanks to Insubria): (ANSAmed) – TUNIS, AUGUST 22 – Algeria’s interior ministry has opened a probe into the […]
Florida: Muslim cleric gets 25 years prison for funneling tens of thousands of dollars to Pakistani Taliban

Khan told the judge Friday the money was for family, friends and a religious school he founded.” I expect that both claims are true. “U.S. imam […]
India: Muslim mob attacks Hindu children with sticks and sharp weapons for singing Indian national song
Many Muslim clerics have declared this song un-Islamic, as its title means, “I bow to thee, Mother,” referring to India, and they consider that idolatrous. But to attack Hindu children with sticks for singing it is a new level of the demand for accommodation of Muslim sensibilities that we have seen so many times. “Children […]
Lebanon: Shi’ite Muslims murder 42 with car bombs at Sunni mosques

Indonesia: Muslim clerics decry Miss World pageant as un-Islamic
“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. […]
Smells like jihad: Palestinian Authority arrests Hamas member for selling Morsi perfume
Hamas calls itself the Muslim Brotherhood for “Palestine.” The Palestinian Authority is controlled by Fatah, the foes of Hamas, but it is unclear why they considered selling Morsi perfume to be an arrestable offense. On the other hand, I haven’t smelled it. “PA Forces Arrest Hamas Member Over Morsi Perfume,” by Elad Benari for Israel […]
