An Appeals Court wisely strikes down a longstanding attempt by the federal government to do what it should never be doing: deciding what is acceptable speech and what isn’t. “Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Finds First Amendment Applies to Trademarks and Rules that ‘Disparaging’ Cannot Be Used to Deny Expressive Trademarks Like ‘Stop Islamisation of […]

Saudis shut down camel urine shop: owner was selling his own urine
Some hadiths depict Muhammad touting the medicinal benefits of drinking camel urine. This one also shows him in his full compassionate, merciful glory: “The climate of Medina did not suit some people, so the Prophet ordered them to follow his shepherd, i.e. his camels, and drink their milk and urine (as a medicine).

University of San Diego prof, students protest “Islamophobia” by wearing yellow Jewish stars labeled “Muslim”
The implication here is that “anti-Muslim rhetoric” — that is, public discussion of the jihad threat and what can be done about it — leads inexorably to the demonization of Muslims and ultimately to genocide.

Islam is a set of doctrines, we have the right to criticize it like any other doctrine, it’s a set of ideas […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: People Are The Same The Whole World Over
Nine years ago I wrote about President Bush’s dreams of creating a Light Unto the Muslim Nations in Iraq (you may remember that $2 trillion dollar, decade-long campaign in Iraq, and how wonderfully it all turned out): “The sentimentalist in the White House contents himself with bromides about how people everywhere ‘love freedom’ and that […]

Obama will veto counter-terror measures to save the Iran nuke deal
“If the Americans pursue the plan, they will destroy an achievement with their own hands since it is against the [nuclear deal], and it will trouble them.” The nuclear deal is going to trouble us in any case. “Obama Admin Will Veto Counter-Terror Measures to Save Nuke Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, December […]
