Indonesia: Constitutional Court considers amendments to blasphemy law
Indonesia’s blasphemy law is a case study in why such laws against insulting or defaming religions, as championed by the likes of the OIC, should be flatly rejected in the West. On the surface, they may sound well-intended and even-handed: indeed, wouldn’t the world be a swell place if everybody…
Taliban to murder American soldier unless MIT-trained jihadist is released
“Being Muslims, it becomes our religious and moral obligation to help the distressed Pakistani woman convicted by the US court on false charges.” Odd, isn’t?

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.

Five U.S. jihadis jailed in Pakistan: “Since our arrest, the U.S.A., F.B.I., and Pakistani police have tortured us”
