Italy: Imam of Milan’s “central mosque” jailed on terror charges

“The Viale Jenner mosque has been linked to Islamist terrorism several times but has so far managed to avoid closure, despite a July 2008 order from the government.” Why? “Italy: Imam ‘arrested’ in Milan after terror conviction,” from Adnkronos International, April 29 (thanks to Sr Soph): Milan, 29 April (AKI)…

Surprise: Taliban filtering back into Pakistan’s Swat valley

The military spokesman, quoted below, seems a bit overconfident. To quote an American military saying, “Hope is not a method.” “Pakistan Taliban militants ‘reappear’ in Swat valley,” from BBC News, April 29: Taliban militants have resumed targeted killings of local leaders in Pakistan’s troubled Swat valley, officials have told the…

Pakistan: Taliban blow up 3 more schools

With apologies to Sam Cooke: Don’t know much about history; Don’t know much biology; Don’t know much about a science book; Don’t know much about the French I took; But I do know that Allah hates you*; And I know that if we blame the Jews, What a halal world…

Is Obama Inciting Racial Violence in Arizona?

Is anyone in the media pointing out that Obama might be inciting racial violence in Arizona?

The Progressive Mindset on Illegal Immigration

Only in the minds of progressives is a state law that helps enforce federal immigration law unconstitutional, while a city ordinance impeding the enforcement of federal immigration law is to be lauded.
Arizona’s controversial new immigration law should not be controversial at all.  It essentially reinforces federal law by requiring that all state and local agencies and [...]

Wait: ABC News had 400 employees…?

“The process of cutting up to 25% of the jobs at ABC News is all but complete,” reports MediaBistro.
I’m not shocked that one of the Big Three networks is shedding staff.
What’s amazing is that “400 employees” only represents “25% of the jobs” at the division.
Four years ago, media watchers were talking about ratings (and revenue) [...]

Reading Rules for Radicals

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to do something I should have done when then-Senator Barack Obama announced he’d run for president : I ordered a copy of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
Of course I realize that Alinsky isn’t exactly the most beloved author and activist among my fellow conservatives. He was a radical [...]

Afghanistan plans Internet crackdown

Sharia Alert: On the chopping block are sites dealing with “activities that conflict with the country’s Islamic culture.” There’s a lot of room to work with there, and that’s most certainly the idea. “Afghanistan to launch internet crackdown,” by Matthew Green for the Financial Times, April 28: Afghanistan’s government is…

Nigerian senator: “History tells us that Prophet Muhammad did marry a young girl as well. Therefore I have not contravened any law.”

“He denied breaking the law but said he would not respect any law that contradicted his religious beliefs.” Again, there is an obvious conflict of interest in his being involved in the governance of Nigeria as a whole. “Nigerian senator Sani denies marrying girl of 13,” from BBC News, April…

The Goldman Sachs Misdirection

The Goldman Sachs’ affair is filling up the news cycle. Compared to the year long health care battle, it seems trivial by comparison. But as a symbol for the absurdity of our times, it is informative. It most reminds me of the AIG compensation dust up about a year ago. Let’s take the least important [...]
