Andrew C. McCarthy: Holder on Holder – National Review Online

Attorney General Eric Holder has responded to criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the Christmas bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, with an “all’s well that ends well” letter to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell.

Iranian cleric: Hey, let’s murder some more dissidents, for God’s sake

Jannati here is making assertions about Islam that contradict the version of Islam presented in the U.S. by most prominent Muslim spokesmen. Surely Islam doesn’t “permit rulers to execute ‘hypocrites,’” does it? Surely CAIR and MPAC and all the rest are going to make their case for Islamic pluralism and…

Professor of Islamic history affirms that minarets can be assertions of political power and supremacy

When the Swiss minaret ban first broke, I noted that minarets were often expressions of Islamic political dominance. Many dismissed this as an “Islamophobic” idea. But now it has been affirmed by Tarek Kahlaoui, assistant professor of Islamic art history and history at Rutgers University — no doubt a dyed-in-the-wool…

“The World Does not Need Spencer”

Today’s Hate Mail Bag entry starts with a statement that is undeniably true — “The World Does not Need Spencer” — and follows it with a series of much more doubtful assertions. Finally, in a sterling example of projection, the author blames Zionism for the conflicts in the world. The…
