Hat tip to Mark Faust for this little nugget of information. Meet Dr. Julio Pino. He’s an associate professor at Kent State University in Ohio. It says so right here. He teaches history to Kent students. You know, that objective study of past event, seen through the cold eye of unbiased scholarship? And Kent State [...]

Take many layers of thick irony and slather it with gooey Jew-hating logic. You get a special treat of calorie rich insanity. The ruins of two large synagogues in evacuated Jewish communities of the Gaza Strip have been transformed into military bases used by Palestinian Arab groups to fire rockets at Israeli cities, according to [...]

Monday, while taking a coffee break in the afternoon, I was joined by a colleague (and someone I consider a friend) who happened to be an Iranian-American. I don’t have permission to use his name, so he will remain anonymous here. My friend has had an interesting life. He was in Iran during the revolution, [...]

The largest Book Fair in the Arab world is going on in Cairo. What’s popular among the youth? The fair also has its darker sides, with anti-Christian polemics advocating conversion to Islam as the only solution to a flawed religion and of course plenty of editions of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” for sale. “It makes [...]

I received an email today from a friend, circulating the “Obama attended a Wahhabi school in Indonesia” story. As I was writing my reply, I suddenly felt like blogging again. So here’s my email in response. While I’m no fan of Obama, there are some questions about these rumors. Latest indications that while Obama did [...]

Conventional thinking from the MSM is the loss of Rumsfeld is a blessing to those wearing the uniform. While I’m sure plenty of soldiers have a problem with the man, this story suggests the discontent isn’t as widespread as the Media thought (or should I say hoped?). Half of America and the upper echelons of [...]

Yeah, I’m trying to hold off judgment until she actually does something, but statements like this aren’t helping my digestion this evening. Here’s the Pelosian take on Iraq. ‘It isn’t a war to win. It is a problem to be solved.’ So what does this mean? Bring the troops home now? Time to negotiate? I [...]

Rumsfeld is out. John Bolton was a recess appointment to the UN, so he’s going to be gone too. Is Bush going to start serving up whatever the new Congress wants? If I were an Iraqi who cooperated with America, I’d be camping out on that embassy roof right about now.

Hamas – truce with Israel now over. Good timing, guys. And the Israelis are a little nervous over “the beauty and genius of our democracy.”

An absolutely great essay over here. Long read, but at the end I was (am) envious that I did not write it.

Yeah, this weekend has been pretty much nothing but Islam. I’ll move on eventually. As I noted in an earlier post, France is ‘observing’ the one-year anniversary of the incident that prompted unprecedented rioting (and it should be noted the rioting never really ceased, with 100 cars per night torched in France by roving gangs [...]

In case you missed it last week, the highest ranking Muslim in Australia gave a charming sermon last week. “Those atheists, people of the book (Christians and Jews), where will they end up? In Surfers Paradise? On the Gold Coast? Where will they end up? In hell and not part-time, for eternity. They are the [...]

Remember all the criticism leveled at Israel for hitting civilian homes during the summer war? Try this on for size. Long before hostilities erupted on July 12, Hezbollah construction teams had gone out and modified numerous Lebanese homes. Sometimes with, but most the time without, the homeowner’s permission, workers began adding on a large, single-function [...]

One year after the last intifada, France boils again. Here. Here. Here. Here. Will France get a handle on this? Any French readers (and there are some) care to offer some first-hand reports? Technorati Tags: french, riots

The ‘Youths of Asian Origin’ continue to rehearse for Jihad in France. Total number of attacks on police in 2004: 3,842. In 2005: 4,246. Through the first six months of 2006: 2,458. An official from one police union says the “youths” are known to yell “Allah Akbar” while attacking. Plenty of links to evidence at [...]

A British man was arrested for hanging a banner conveying inflammatory anti-Muslim-Fanatic sentiments from his fence. While his words were crass and in poor taste, isn’t an arrest a little over the top? The words in bold red paint stated: “Kill all Muslims who threaten us and our way of life. Enoch Powell was right.” [...]

Afghani Muslims have kidnapped an Italian journalist and are demanding an exchange for Abdul Rahman. Rahman, you might remember, converted from Islam to Christianity and was promptly sentenced to death by Sharia Law. Italy managed to get Rahman out and offered him sanctuary in Italy. So, the kidnappers are making it pretty clear: Italian Journalist, [...]

Blogging is difficult when you are mired in despair. Not that I’m personally depressed at the moment. We’re talking about the normal depression one suffers when viewing the state of the world and determining that things have to get a lot worse before it gets any better. We’re a few short weeks away from beholding [...]
