Remember the British prison official who was fired for insulting Osama bin Laden in the presence of a group of Muslims who may have heard him?

No dhimmis in Kyrgyzstan
There’s a new report on religious freedom in Kyrgyzstan.

Preschool jihad
France has closed two nursery schools because, well, they were radical Muslim institutions.
