David Suissa has created a series of ads to remind people of all the marvelous contributions Israel has made to the world during its short time as a country (and, impressively, a country perpetually under siege).
I think it’s time to create some ads for the Muslim and Arab world too (click on thumbnails to enlarge):

Charles Johnson of LGF periodically gets into spats with the people at Gates of Vienna because of their (possible?) ties to organizations that have the whiff of neo-Nazism about them. As for me, I don’t know where the truth lies in those arguments.
I do know that Europe in the 20th (and, apparently, in the 21st) [...]

You recall the uproar a few weeks ago when the Archbishop of Canterbury said that it’s unfair for Muslims to have to follow British law and that it would be a good thing to incorporate elements of Sharia law into British law. It turns out that he’s not the only one thinking these thoughts. The [...]

I would like to be upset with what the British judge did, but I think he’s right:
The country’s top judge has dealt a significant blow to a key plank of the Government’s anti-terrorism legislation after he overturned the convictions of five Muslim men jailed last year for downloading and sharing extremist terror-related material.
