Sharia Special in the U.K.: National Health Service picks up the tab for "increasing" number of hymen restoration surgeries for Muslim women

Sharia Special in the U.K.: National Health Service picks up the tab for "increasing" number of hymen restoration surgeries for Muslim women

There is a virtually unlimited need, and an unlimited demand for health care the world over. It is a perpetually scarce and costly resource. So, what better way to spend it than in submission to Islamic mores? Not that the taxpayer-funded virginity "Mulligan" is new to the U.K. This has…

Pakistan: 5 Christians shot to death coming out of church following threats from "banned" jihadist groups

Pakistan: 5 Christians shot to death coming out of church following threats from "banned" jihadist groups

Of course, given Pakistan’s ongoing double game, there is always the question of whether the groups are banned as in "banned," or banned as in "just lay low for a bit or consider changing your name." "Suspected Islamists Shoot Five Christians to Death in Pakistan," from Compass Direct News, July…

Paul Ryan Explains Conservative Economic Theory To Ezra Klein

Paul Ryan Explains Conservative Economic Theory To Ezra Klein

When I saw that Paul Ryan was doing an interview with far left-winger Ezra Klein at the WAPO, I wasn’t wild about the idea because Klein is a diehard partisan. However, I think Ryan did an excellent job of explaining conservative ideas about the economy in the interview.
Ezra Klein: It’s clear now that there’ll be [...]

Here we go: Murfreesboro mega-mosque under investigation over burial

Here we go: Murfreesboro mega-mosque under investigation over burial

An update on this story. The nature of the interaction with mosque officials is entirely too typical: When approached about specifics, respond with lofty generalities; repeat as necessary, and people who still won’t back down are automatically Islamophobes, naturally. "Sheriff’s office to probe Islamic burial," by Mark Bell for DNJ.com,…

Obama on “The View”: No, I Don’t Want to Relate to My President

Obama on “The View”: No, I Don’t Want to Relate to My President

Last night, Jon Stewart was talking about how President Obama was being criticized for going on The View instead of speaking to the Boy Scouts. I’m sorry, but I’ve got to agree with Stewart—this “controversy” seems more like pundits having nothing to talk about than a genuine controversy. But my criticism of his appearance isn’t [...]

Another Memorial To Jihad?

Another Memorial To Jihad?

Photo credit Zombietime
Not content with making Ground Zero a symbol of Islamic triumphalism with a 13-15 story Cordoba House mosque, plans are in the works to memorialize the sacred ground of the crash site of Flight 93 in Shanksville, PA.
For a memorial, I can imagine something with park benches, maybe a reflecting pool, the names [...]

Catholic Bishops Cite Vatican II in Response to Charges of Marxism

Catholic Bishops Cite Vatican II in Response to Charges of Marxism

On July 24, I wrote here at NRB about Bishop Olmsted and CCHD funding opposition to the Arizona Immigration Law and posted the link to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Facebook page. For four full days, while it remained on the page, this story prompted quite a lot of civil discussion and [...]

A Tea Party Masquerade Ball in Michigan?

A Tea Party Masquerade Ball in Michigan?

Elections are coming up, and it looks like some Michigan Democrats like to start the season off with a masquerade ball. Apparently lacking confidence that they can win on their own failed policies, it appears that the latest approach is to trick the people into thinking they are getting a traditional Tea Party candidate who stands for [...]

Ayaan Hirsi Ali 2, CBC 0

People still talk about the time freedom fighter Ayaan Hirsi Ali crushed insufferable leftist TV host Avi Lewis on a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) broadcast. In case you’ve forgotten (or just want to relive the thrill), here’s a taste:
Then Lewis asked Hirsi Ali for her “critique against Islam.” Ali, the epitome of poised, calmly responded [...]
