Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I only just got around to reading Marc Sheppard’s superb article about Shari’a, its rise in the West among Muslim communities, and these communities’ demands that Shari’a law be generally introduced to the West. The article is, as I indicated, fantastic, but I almost wish I hadn’t read it. It’s
Continue readingYou can’t make this stuff up. With regard to the Muslim outrage at Pope Benedict’s comments about aspects of Islam’s inhumanity, we get this: “Anyone who describes Islam as a religion as intolerant encourages violence,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said. I think that statement — from the most moderate
Continue readingThe Popal plea hearing is being continued so as to allow further psychiatric evaluations. He may indeed be crazy, and that would be an effective end to the newsworthiness of this tragedy (although it will continue to resonate forever for his victims and their families). I found interesting, though, local
Continue readingI haven’t forgotten the Popal rampage, and thought I’d update you on a couple of stories that are still filtering through. First, the tragedy: Popal’s rampage left a 43 year old woman a quadriplegic: It was Susan Rajic’s birthday Friday. The 43-year-old massage therapist was supposed to go out to
Continue readingAlthough the MSM has been assiduously ignoring the deeper meaning behind Centani’s and Wiig’s forced conversions, the conservative press has (rightly) been very worried about it. Mark Steyn devotes a whole column to the problem with the following, I think, getting to the core issue: Don’t bet on it. In
Continue readingRadical Islamists in England sought to blow up at least ten transatlantic flights. Britain’s so-called “moderate” Muslims did not condemn this manifest act of terror. Instead, they sought to be capitalize on it, in order to advance the same Muslim agenda the terrorists wanted to impose through mass murder: Islamists
Continue readingAndrew Bostom, who has written a detailed, erudite treatise entitled the Legacy of Jihad : Islamic Holy War and the Fate of Non-Muslims, weighs in on the Fox reporters’ forced “conversion.” Forced conversions in Islamic history are not exceptional—they have been the norm, across three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—for over
Continue readingGood news out of Anarchy-land: Two Fox journalists kidnapped by militants two weeks ago in Gaza have been released and appear to be in good health. Fox reporter Steve Centanni and photographer Olaf Wiig were released shortly after noon Sunday and dropped off at the Beach Hotel in Gaza City,
Continue readingBritish Muslims are demanding a state within a state: British Muslim leaders meeting with government representatives to discuss ways of combating extremism are calling for the establishment of Islamic law (shari’a) to govern Muslims’ family life. “We told her if you give us religious rights, we will be in a
Continue readingI haven’t blogged about multiculturalism in quite a while, so those new to this blog may not know that it is one of my pet peeves, an enormous, angry bee buzzing in my intellectual bonnet. I think it is the root cause of the disuniting of America, with its effort
Continue readingAnd there are more arrests: Police in Italy arrested 40 people in a security crackdown after the thwarting of the airline plot, the Interior Ministry said, but it did not link them directly to the London case. The arrests were made at “Islamic gathering places” in several cities on charges
Continue readingThe past couple of days have seen two huge stories — Ned Lamont’s victory and the foiled terror plot in England — and I’ve had little to say about either. Part of it is that they managed to occur during a week when my plate is way too full anyway,
Continue readingThe MSM has fallen into the comforting (to it) rote of “land for peace” regarding the Israel/Hezbollah conflict. After all, this worked wonderfully in the media for the past 20 years when they were reporting about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. So well, that they were utterly unperturbed when Israel gave
Continue readingIsrael has, for years, had missiles rain down upon her, and suicide bombers work from within. Since her inception, every Arab nation has called for her destruction and the death of her citizens. In the last year, her Arab neighbors have given her the gift of more than 2,000 missiles
Continue readingThe Hydra of mythology was a fearsome multi-headed monster. One of its great strengths was the fact that, if you severed one of its heads, another head (or maybe more than one) would grow in its place. Nevertheless, the Hydra could be defeated. Here’s one version of how Hercules defeated
