The New York Times reports that, according to a Senate report, some American ex-prisoners who converted to Islam are heading to (or have already arrived in Yemen) to be part of terrorist forces against the U.S.:
Some American former convicts who converted to Islam in prison have moved to Yemen and a few may have joined [...]

I got a letter from a good friend who not only linked me to this worth-reading Uncle Jimbo post, but who also added “Has anyone noticed that all of the airplane incidents since 9/11 have been perpetrated by muslims?” Since I live with a liberal, and I know the score, my response to him was [...]

By now, you’ve all heard that Janet Napolitano, the head of Obama’s Department of Homeland Security, is going around saying that the system worked perfectly when a guy on the US no-fly list, who had been turned in by his own father, boarded a plane and detonated a bomb, only to be foiled by a [...]

For my birthday, my husband gave me an Amazon Kindle. It’s a sensible gift for me, since I read voraciously and often find myself waiting around in various places because of carpools. Since the Kindle fits in my purse, I always have something to read.
The only problem with the Kindle is the expense. Hardback books [...]

Yesterday I linked to a post at Pierre LeGrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar about another possible terrorist dry run. Melissa Clouthier now has more. I’ll blog later, but have to work.

Pierre LeGrand’s Pink Flamingo Bar has a disturbing post. In it, he reprints part of a message from someone who claims to have been on a recent flight that was disrupted by a large group of obviously Muslim men aggressively flouting airplane safety rules. As you may recall, in the wake of 9/11, Anne Jacobson [...]

I’ve been saying for some years that the biggest mistake the Islamists made was impatience. Demographically, between their fecundity and the sterility of Western culture, Muslims were headed towards societal tipping points all over Europe within a couple of decades. Had they set tight, they could have completed what they started in the Middle Ages [...]

In a field rich with excellent conservative writers, I always think Mark Steyn is the best. The joyful days, though, are the days when he outdoes even himself. In this week’s column about the fluffy multiculturalism that reared its head both before and after Hasan’s deadly terrorist attack at Fort Hood, Steyn outdoes himself. Here [...]

I don’t think the media has ever before been so blatant in its desire to divorce an evil act from its ideological origins, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that game played out. More than two years ago, a short lived comedy show on Fox used the occasion of an abortive bombing in [...]

An eyewitness heard those words — Allahu Akbar — come out of the killer’s mouth. Private Joe Foster, though, is still ready to do his job, as he did at the time of the shooting, and that despite a bullet strike on his femur.
UPDATE: You must — MUST — check out Mudville Gazette to see [...]

My liberal friend is a headline reader. That’s why we had a ridiculous conversation in which he wondered about the Fort Hood shooter’s motives. To the reader who scans, headlines that say “motives a mystery” trump even those articles that add, under the headline, little facts such as Muslim death cries (”Allahu Akbar!”), radical mosques, [...]

Insane people reflect the obsessions of their times. In the old days, insane people heard messages from the Devil. In the post-nuclear age, they were in contact with Martians. And nowadays, if their Muslim, Islam gives the impetus to their urges. Indeed, Islam is an all-purpose blank check for bad behavior. As my cousin, the [...]

It’s very simple, according to some British Muslims. You can be a soldier in your nation’s military as long as your military isn’t fighting against Muslims. However, if your military is fighting against Muslims, your military has become the enemy, and you should use your resources and abilities to kill your fellow troops. Have you [...]

I just heard about the Fort Hood shooting, and have nothing of my own to say. The New Editor, however, is watching closely and updating constantly.
Ed Driscoll also has running updates, as does Hot Air.
What I learned from a military friend is that, even though it’s a military base, the troops are not armed, leaving [...]

Horrible story of what happens when political correctness and fear of a violent minority group culminate in a school that saw the administration look the other way for fear of offending those violent minority sensibilities.
This, by the way, is how that paralyzing political correctness, a sensiblity that saps courage and morality, begins.

Didn’t Obama bow to the king?
A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show, in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex, and sentenced her to 60 lashes.
Rozanna al-Yami is believed to be the first Saudi woman journalist to be given such a punishment. The charges against [...]

The American and world media go into a screaming frenzy whenever American or Israeli troops injure or kill a child. They do this despite the fact that such incidents are rare and, more significantly, they are aberrant: both the American and the Israeli military go out of their way to avoid injuring civilians, even if [...]

There is no bliss inherent in the ignorance displayed by one judge in England:
A judge lambasted a rapist for claiming his victim was a liar – then commended him for becoming a muslim.
Judge Anthony Goldstaub QC sentenced Stuart Wood for seven years for the attack, then told him: ‘You have turned to Islam and this [...]

I want to recommend two interesting things to read as a prelude to my core post. The first read comes from a reliably good source: Rusty Shackleford.

Sometimes, you have to be poised on the edge of the volcano to realize the threat you face. Until you get there, you might just think you’re climbing a beautiful mountainside.

It’s been two days since our Commander in Chief lost one of his own in an attack on American soil — and his silence is deafening. When an abortionist died, our CIC instantly issued a public statement and used federal marshals to beef up security at abortion clinics. When one of his own men died [...]

Pastor Martin Niemoeller, after the war, penned the famous “first they came for the Jews,” with regard to the way non-Jewish demographics turned a blind eye to Nazi depredations, confident that the Nazis would stop after the Jews, and then after the Communists, and then after the gays. But they never stopped.

A young British woman, raised in the North of England, escaped her abusive Muslim father and converted to Christianity, a fact that saw her father lead an axe wielding mob clamoring for her death. She wrote a book about her experience. When the Times interviewer asked why she didn’t seek help from the authorities, the [...]

It’s not just that a furious Muslim mob jeered at British soldiers returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan, although that’s bad enough. What really got me about this story is the picture, about a third of the way down, of the Muslim women who joined in the protest.
