Alabama: New Montgomery mayor celebrates election with readings from Bible and Qur’an
“We will be blessed now with readings from various sacred texts, including the Bible, the Torah and the Koran.” How wonderful.

New Hampshire Republican top dog apologizes for his predecessor bringing in Robert Spencer to speak
Just yesterday I criticized New Hampshire State Representative Steven Smith and his colleagues in the Sullivan County Republican Party of New Hampshire for being cowards and fools and allowing the Left to dictate the parameters of what they could do and could not do.

Austere Religious Scholar or Muslim Master of Mayhem? Or Both?
