Tavis Smiley: Your daily dose of stupid

I'm sorry. It's rather difficult to be polite to someone who makes a good, publicly-funded salary in order to spout this nonsense.

He is (NOT) risen!

I didn't know he was lost.  Seriously though, if they found him, I can tell you where.  Supposedly, his body is buried in the Mosque of the Prophet in Medina.  However, the point is, he is dead, but Jesus rose from the dead. And may I add, Momo's words bring death, but Jesus' bring life. 

Not sure that Jesus actually rose from the dead?  You can always listen to William Lane Craig or Lee Stroble defend that proposition.

The Third Jihad

Promoting a new documentary along the lines of Obsession, featuring interviews with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, M. Zudhi JAsser, Walid Phares, Tom Ridge, Mark Stein, and more.

Movie predicted the underwear bomber

One of my favorite movies, panned by the easily offended leftist critics, was An American Carol, a mocumentary making fun of Michael Moore (played hilariously by Kevin Farley, Chris Farley's brother).  Watching it again, I re-enjoyed the mini-mocumentary buried in the Bill O'Reilly interview, in which people are subject to long lines at airport security due to the Christian fundamentalists. 

As people have to strip down to their skivvies, and other's have cavity searches, two passengers complain about the reason - the Christian "underwear bomber."  Who knew that some crazy Muslim (redundant?) would actually do exactly that.  Enjoy the predictions of Islamic idiocy, couched in liberal anti-Christian idiocy.

Why are Jews predominantly liberal?

One of the most annoying voices on conservative talk radio is Mark Levin, author of the bestselling Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto.  However, it's all I've got some days, and once in a while, he has an interesting guest rather than the lowbrow callers that frequent the more rant-ridden types of shows. 

Today, he had Norman Podhoretz, author of the controversial new book Why Are Jews Liberals?

You can listen to the 10 minute interview I've excerpted from the Levin archive. But the main interesting points I got from the interview were:

1. In the mid 19th century, it was liberalism that defended Judaism from the threats of fascism.
2. In 1967, a great shift occurred in American politics.  The left became increasingly anti-Zionist to the point of being anti-Semitic, while the right, esp. the Christian right, began seriously taking up the cause of Israel.
3. However, Jews did not become conservative because

(a) Converting or turning to conservatism in Jewish culture is as objectionable as converting to Christianity, and most Jews abhor both.

(b) Liberalism has replaced the values of the Torah for most Jews - where the two disagree, most Jews now side with liberalism and NOT the Torah.  That is, liberalism is now the predominant religious stance of most Jews.

There's much more great content in the interview, including Jews' support for Obama.  Enjoy.

Podhoretz interview on Mark Levin

10 Commandments of Ethical Witness are peace-loving but controversial

The Christian Muslim Forum, an interfaith group, has released what it calls Ethical Guidelines for Christian and Muslim Witness in Britain (PDF).   Interestingly, some more conservative Christians don't like a couple of the provisions because they fear that it could be used to stifle criticism or even moral condemnation of spirituality that contradicts what some would call basic human rights.

If you'd like to hear a spirited debate about the guidelines between a moderate Christian, a moderate Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist, and a conservative Christian, check out the excellent debate at Muslim, Christian, Hindu debate on evangelism.

What some are calling Ten Commandments of Mission? are after the jump, with my highlights and brief commentary.

When we fail to discern the evil of Islam, we let the devil in the door

 

CAIR - Lying for Allah

Takeyya (noun) - the Islamic principle of lying for the greater good of the progress of Islam.  Or as Mohammed wrote:

He is not a false person who through al-tekeyya settles conciliation among people, supports good or says what is good.

While lying to the Nazis to protect the Jews your are hiding might fall into this category, unfortunately, in this case, the Nazi-like aggressors are the followers of Islam, and they lie to gain the trust of unsuspecting multicuturalists so that we can all live under Sharia Law and convert, pay the jizzya, or die.

And no one does it better than the Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR).  Good thing that brave people are infiltrating corrupt organizations like Acorn, Planned Parenthood, and now, CAIR.  Chris Gaubat, after working for six months inside of CAIR's Washington D.C. office, contributed to Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America.

You can read a review at jewkey.com.  And as a bonus, there's some bonus CAIR video after the jump.

Bloody Cartoons. A documentary on The Freedom of Speech

I found this documentary very interesting.

Freedom of speech failing in Islamified Europe

The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran

Add one more book to my Amazon wishlist - The Complete Infidel's Guide to the Koran.  From the description:

The Complete Infidel’s Guide to the Koran reveals:

• The true meaning of celebrated and seemingly benign verses, such as “Strive in the way of Allah” and “Persecution is worse than slaughter”
• How the Koran sanctions domestic abuse, honor killing, and murder
• How the Koran not only discourages Infidels from reading it, but mandates that they don’t even touch it
• Why President Obama is dangerously close to supporting a multiculturalism based on an ideology that aims to destroy the principles America holds dear

Stripping out the obsolete debates, Spencer focuses on the Koran’s decrees toward Jews, Christians, and other Infidels, explaining how they were viewed in Muhammad’s time, what they’ve supposedly done wrong, and most important, what the Koran has in store for them.

Robert Spencer is one of the foremost experts and critics of Islam, and his site Jihad Watch is one of the best sites of its kind today.  I have no doubt this book will be very good.

If not racism, what ARE the motives of the anti-Obama masses?

In The boy who cried 'racism!', I broached the subject that I think that those who are complaining that the modern anti-Obama rallies and other conservative actions in the news are racist in nature are making bogus claims.  But if not racism, what ARE the motives of these modern conservative protesters?  Here's my quick list of what I think are the genuine motives involved.

What is an IRED?

An IRED is an Improvised Rectal Explosive Device - that is, a new way of concealing an explosive.  Yesterday, a suicide bomber tried to kill a Saudi Prince with an explosive in his anus.  Unfortunately, this directed the blast downward, probably launching the attacker's body parts into the air.  The Prince was only injured.

The latest Shire Network News podcast ("Protecting the angloshpere through satire") has a wonderful piece on this, reminding us that this gives the term 'explosive discharge' a new meaning, and that we should probably not respond to requests from strangers who ask us to pull their finger.  I won't spoil the other wonderful word-plays in the podcast, but this will certainly make Alqueda the butt of a slew of new jokes - IRED?  I bet you are.   Way worse than getting too much hot sauce on your falafel.  Enjoy.

Light in the Desert depicts horror of Islamic 'Honor' Killing

Europe's Dark Ages and Islam's Golden Age - two historic fictions?

Jihad Watch has a good article entitled Europe’s Dark Age and Islam’s Golden Age: Two Facets of The Same Fiction?, which discusses the content of the book on the same subject, entitled Holy Warriors.

In the twentieth century, a whole new body of evidence became available to historians; evidence unavailable to previous generations of scholars: The evidence of archaeology. And what archaeology tells us has been devastating to the traditional view.....

On the word of the written histories, then, archaeologists expected to find, from Spain to eastern Iran, a flourishing and vibrant culture. An Islamic world of enormous cities endowed with all the wealth of antiquity and the plunder gathered in the Muslim wars of conquest. They hoped to find palaces, public baths, universities and mosques; all richly decorated with marble, ceramic and carved stone.

In fact, they found nothing of the sort.

For a more accurate rendition of history that isn't colored by the anti-Catholic enlightenment historians or the Muslims trying to pretend that their faith has contributed to humanity, see How Christianity changed the world and The biblical origins of science.

The deadly fruits of Islam

Islam is not just another faith system - it is an evil ideology with murder and the Father of Murder behind it.  Watch this testimony of a girl who has fled her parents to avoid being 'honor killed'. Muslims, come out of darkness to the light of Christ!  There is a loving God, and Jesus is his messenger.

America's 200 year history of war with Islam

American Vision offers this excellent 30 page PDF entitled America's 200-Year-War With Islamic Terrorism (PDF).  In it, author Gary DeMar discusses the conflict of the early 1800's with the Barbary Coast Pirates (Muslims), and explains many misunderstandings around the phrase in the Treaty of Tripoli, which states:

As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquility, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.

Many have mistaken this for a denial of our Christian heritage, history, and ideological roots, and have also misattributed it to George Washington.  However, as DeMar quotes from Boller's They Never Said It: A Book of Fake Quotes, Misquotes, and Misleading Attributions:

The statement was not Washington’s, and diplomats had used that particular phraseology because they were eager to make it clear that Christianity was not an American state religion, and that therefore the U.S. government bore no official hostility toward Islam.

QED.

Growing anti-gay environment in the UK due to mutlicultural slumber regarding Islam

One of my favorite humorous cultural podcasts, Shire Network News ("Protecting the Anglosphere through satire"), has created a great show this week, including an interview with Bruce Bawer, the Oslo-based US author of While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within and Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom.

Bower talks about his experiences as a gay man in what he thought would be a more tolerant European society, and what happened when he ran into radical Islam on the streets of Amsterdam one night.

Pascal's Wager - Part III: Evaluating the gods

In Part I of this series, I examined Pascal's wager as a risk calculation exercise.  In Part II, I proposed some criteria by which one could evaluate various faith claims, even though those criteria were outside of direct empirical observation.  In this part, I perform a heuristic, self-reinforcing example of how said evaluation might look when comparing the claims of Jesus, Buddha, Mohamed, Zeus, Superman, and the FSM.

Admittedly, I have not backed up my Yes/No assertions with argumentation and data.  And for the sake of this exercise, I will not.  The point is, when evaluated by important, empirical and non-empirical criteria, faith claims can be differentiated, and some may be eliminated as serious candidates for faith, while others remain under consideration.  And that is the point.

No faith can be 'proven,' that is the point of having faith.  But some may be eliminated as pretenders, as not worthy of faith.  Click on the chart in the image to see a full sized version.

In Part IV, I address the host of minor objections.

My Two Cents #123 - Osama Bin Lego and other Islamic fare

• Osama Bin Lego - Islamists are enraged by terrorist lego doll.  Nice.  They need as much ridicule as possible.
• The Messenger of Peace - a potential upcoming 'biography' of Mohammed will likely be whitewashed in order to convince westerners that Mohammad wasn't a murderous, criminally insane pedophile.
• Afghani woman, sprayed with acid, seeks reciprocity - thankfully, President Hamid Karzai called for the perpetrators to be executed in public. Nuskaal said the attackers should have acid thrown on them first.  I agree.
• Islam can never be 'multicultural' or humane - Iraqi Christians are being driven from their homes, killed, and not finding any refuge in 'secular' Turkey - because Islam never really co-exists with secularity or human rights or freedom or love.  Those Muslims who may favor those sentiments do so despite the teachings of Islam, which is racist, anti-semitic, and demonic.  And that's putting it mildly.
• Why Turkey should not be admitted to the EU - if the residents of Turkey are unwilling to set up a true democracy and remove the national military from power due to fear of Islamic takeover, how should the other members of the EU feel?  As Fjordman writes, "Arie Oostlander is, like everyone else, non-Muslim as well as Muslim, incapable of changing or "reforming" Islam. It has not been done. Ataturk did not "reform" Islam. Ataturk systematically weakened Islam, as a political and social force, in Turkey."
• Christianity and Islam do NOT have a shared heritage - Fjordman argues that Islam's effort to mainstream itself as just another Abrahamic faith ignores the centuries of Islamic aggression against Christians and Jews, since its very inception.  "The only "shared history" Europeans have with Muslims is being at the receiving end of more than 1300 years of Jihad warfare."
• A Russian Church for a Saudi Mosque? Russia demands that Saudis building a mosque in Moscow allow a Russian Orthodox church in Saudi Arabia.  Nice.

Defeating Eurabia

Fjordman, the venerable critic of Islam and the Islamization of Europe, has just self-published Defeating Eurabia. 

This compilation of Fjordman articles from Gates of Vienna, Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, The Brussels Journal and Fjordman's own (now defunct) blog has been updated and finetuned to reflect his current views on the islamization of Europe.

It provides a thorough analysis of the causes and circumstances of the islamization process, a country-by-country survey and an optimistic concluding chapter with suggestions for the future.

Obsession released on DVD and online

The film Obsession: Radical Islam's War with the West is now available for purchase or online viewing.  From the review at PureFlix:

Using unique footage from Arab television, it reveals an ‘insider’s view’ of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. The film also traces the parallels between the Nazi movement of World War II, the radicals of today, and the Western world’s response to both threats.

Note that Robert Spencer of jihadwatch.com has also written a lot of posts about the reaction of the Muslim community to the film.

Quote of the Day #011 - Islam

"What kind of an ideology causes a man to show no remorse for murdering his own daughter, but then rant and rave at being served ham sandwiches while in prison?"

- www.thereligionofpeace.com

Islam was evil long before Israel became a state

Islam in Action has a nice short post on the Barbary Coast Wars, in which we read of Tripoli's Ambassador's reasoning for the attacks on American ships. 

During the year 1786 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to speak with Tripoli's Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. Jefferson and Adams asked the Ambassador how can they make war on nations that have done nothing to them? The Ambassador replied that "It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every Muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.

Cry from Iran documents religious persecution in Iran

Check out A Cry from Iran, a documentary about the murder of a leading evangelical Pastor in Iran, as he sought to expose Islamic lies about religious freedom in Muslim countries (as if anyone outside of those countries believes freedom exists anywhere in Islam - well, except maybe the liberal MSM).

How rich Islamists stifle free speech through libel suits

Act for America has a really good article about how Islamists intimidate publishers and authors that criticize Islam, and how a few brave American congressmen (9 Republicans and 1 Democrat, what a surprise) are passing important legislation to enable authors to counter-sue for costs plus damages.  I don't know what we can do to support them, but perhaps a phone call to your own Congress person would help.

Homoerotic art in Netherlands pushes Islamist buttons

A multimedia art show in the Netherlands is angering Muslims because it includes pictures of several gay (and I don't mean 'happy') Iranian men posing with masks of Mohamed and his son-in-law Ali.  As reported by the new site IslamistWatch:

Also included is a video production titled "Allah ho gaybar," which goes so far as to depict Mohammed as a homosexual. (The film, since posted to the web, was censored by YouTube.)

But what's really interesting is not that these pictures offend Islamopaths (no surprise there), but that it reveals (1) the prevalence of homosexuality within the repressive Islamic society, and (2) the failure of multiculturalism in Holland.

Islam leads to a Misogynist, Homophobic Theocracy

One of my favorite podcasts is the satirical news show Shire Network News, an unabashedly conservative British weekly show.  This week has some very funny humor, as well as an informative interview with Mark Stein. He mentioned at least three really interesting ideas regarding liberalism, Europe, and Islamofascism.

A German's view of Islam

My uncle sends me conservative spam, and every tenth one is worth republishing.  Here you go.  I would alternately call this post "Why moderate Muslims can't keep Islam from killing millions and threatening humanity as a modern-day, religious Nazism."

"Minority youths" in France attack police

I understand how liberals don't want to demonize Muslims, but their total inability or unwillingness to connect violence with Islam is irresponsible, if not negligent.  The New York Times reported on the recent violence in France, calling the malfeasants  "dozens of youths."  Even Fox News can't call it for what it is.

Imagine - over 100 "youths" shooting at police and firemen with hunting rifles, and burning over 100 cars overnight.  We all know what ideology these "youths" follow - Islam. 

"Housewife" says what many of us feel about Islam

Ok, here's another spam from my uncle - he sends me about one a day, but I like to post the ones I agree with or enjoy.  I checked snopes for this and couldn't find it, but it doesn't matter - the sentiments shared here are shared by many of us who are sick of Islamic excuse making, and the American media's failure to call a spade a spade - while most Islamic people may be nice, Islam is a hellish religion that poisons those who are taught by it - as has been said, the only reason more Muslims are not murderous is because they are human and realize the atrocity of what it really teaches. 

And unlike the intellectually and historically ignorant claims of anti-religionists, all religions are not the same, and few are as murderous as Islam, and certainly NOT Christianity, which has done more good for humankind than any other.

So enjoy.

Robert Spencer's Five Step Plan for Muslims fighting Islamofascism

In the most recent Jihad Watch vcast, Robert Spencer, author of many books critical of Islam, reacts to the recent "Islam is Peace" campaign in Britain.  Rather than focusing it's message on "Islamophobia," Spencer argues, moderate Islamists should:

1. Focus their indignation on the violent Muslims who have perpetrated over 9,000 violent acts in the name of Islam since 9/11 (the main cause of "Islamophobia")
2. Renounce efforts to replace national constitutions with sharia law in non-Muslim countries
3. Teach Muslims about peaceful co-existence with non-Muslims as equals on a permanent basis
4. Teach against violent jihad and Islamic supremacism
5. Actively work with Western Law enforcement to identify and apprehend Jihadists in Western society

Spencer argues that if Muslims did THAT, no PR campaigns would be needed to rid the world of Islamophobia.  Note that Fitzgerald has commented on the need to expand Spencer's commentary.

Islam's Worst Nightmare - Not America, but Christian China

D. James Kennedy died today at age 76, and what a significant and great evangelical leader he was.  Among his latest and greatest contributions, beyond highlighting the Darwin/Nazism link, is raising our awareness of the Back to Jerusalem movement. 

In one of his latest broadcasts, he discussed how Chinese Christians are training and planning to release over 100,000 missionaries to the Muslim world.  Chinese seminaries are teaching their missionary students Arabic and Farsi.  And while Muslim countries "lock the front door facing the West," they are "leaving the back door wide open."  In fact, in the next 25 years, some estimate over 400M Christians in China, many of whom will push the gospel across the middle east.

My Two Cents #103 - Islam

• Muslims in the US:  A recent Newsweek poll reveals a lot about attitudes and perceptions of Muslims in the US.  The different responses by age group are interesting.  My favorite question?  Do you think the FBI should or should not wiretap mosques to try to keep an eye out for radical preaching by Muslim clerics? 52% said yes.  And I entirely agree.
• Offending Muslims:  Anti-religionist atheist Christopher Hitchens has a nice post discussing why we should NOT be afraid of offending Muslims.  I agree.  Those who love Sharia can't really be believed as those interested in liberty or human rights.  And once you start creating blasphemy laws (or hate speech laws, which are the same thing), you seriously curtail people's rights. No one is above criticism or even mocking humor.  Nobody.

Turning Tide in Iraq?

Amid the liberal press' opinings about the failed Bush strategy in Iraq comes a NYT Op-Ed entitled A War We Just Might Win, which outlines the recent real advances in Iraq.  Should we stay?  Can we see a free Iraq before pulling out?  Time will tell, but the recent shift of Iraqi opinion AWAY from Al Quaida and the Salafists may indicate a chance for success.  The growing unity of non-terrorist Islamists can also be seen in the celebrations over the recent Iraqi Asian Cup win (NPR).

A major factor in the sudden change in American fortunes has been the outpouring of popular animus against Al Qaeda and other Salafist groups, as well as (to a lesser extent) against Moktada al-Sadr’s Mahdi Army.

These groups have tried to impose Shariah law, brutalized average Iraqis to keep them in line, killed important local leaders and seized young women to marry off to their loyalists. The result has been that in the last six months Iraqis have begun to turn on the extremists and turn to the Americans for security and help. The most important and best-known example of this is in Anbar Province, which in less than six months has gone from the worst part of Iraq to the best (outside the Kurdish areas). Today the Sunni sheiks there are close to crippling Al Qaeda and its Salafist allies. Just a few months ago, American marines were fighting for every yard of Ramadi; last week we strolled down its streets without body armor.

The debate is over

If there ever really was a debate about the differences between Islam and Christianity, it should now be ended. Islamic jihadist in Afghanistan have kidnapped 23 South Korean Christians. While the followers of "the religion of peace" have already killed at least one hostage, the South Korean's were there to volunteer in the hospitals and do humanitarian work. But of course, the Christians are the ones to blame and who should stop their behavior.

Christian Revival in Iran

I get newsletters from Persian Ministries International, whose mission is to "continue proclaiming to the Muslim World that Jesus is both Savior and Lord."  This letter I just received is amazing, something you may not hear in the MSM - that upwards of 500,000 Iranians have converted to Christianity in the last 15 years under the strict Muslim rule, and some estimates put it at over a million.

We have oft heard that Iranians are, in general, very pro-west, but it's the government that is Islamofascist.  This Christian revival is sure to move Iranians away from extremism.  Content of the letter below.

Why there's no Jesus burqa

or the differences between Muslim and Christian guidelines for modest dress.

Palestinian persuasion

For years the Palestinian people have been taught by the rest of the world that violence is an acceptable form of political discourse. Every grievance they have with Israel results in attacks toward the Jewish people and world condemnation of Israel for retaliation.

Why is it any surprise that what has been so successful for them in foreign policy will now be applied in domestic policy? Until world leaders hold Palestinian terrorist leaders accountable for their actions, they will continue to use bloodshed as political currency.

John Quincy Adams on Christianity and Islam

American Vision has published a nice excerpt from John Quincy Adams' "Unsigned essays dealing with the Russo-Turkish War, and on Greece”, written while Adams was in retirement, before his election to Congress in 1830, originally published in The American Annual Register.   He wrote an eloquent description of Christianity, and a biting but equally prescient description of Islam. 

In the seventh century of the Christian era a wandering Arab, of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius with the preternatural energy of a fanatic and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting, from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God, he connected indissolubly with it the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting, from the new revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war as a part of his religion against all the rest of mankind. The essence of his doctrine was violence and lust; to exalt the brutal over the spiritual part of human nature....While the merciless and dissolute are encouraged to furnish motives to human action, there never can be peace on earth and good will toward men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him.

Remembering the Heroes of D-Day

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the taking of Omaha Beach, the day in which allied forces took back Europe from Hitler.   Today's Focus on the Family had a nice remembrance by playing the prayer of Roosevelt, and the 40th anniversary speeches of President Reagan. 

To me, the ideological significance of Roosevelt's speech, and the battle of D-Day are critical things to observe, in light of the threats of our own day. 

Hate speech laws and blasphemy laws - twin evils

In listening to Frank Wright's lecture on suppressing ideas, I realized something important.  When a group in power outlaws criticism, they are engaging in a type of totalitarian limitation on free speech, and in essence, thought control.

And while us westerners rightly blanch at Islamic blasphemy laws, there is a secular fundamentalist equivalent - hate speech laws.  Now, I still agree that there is a limit to free speech, in that we should not be allowed to slander others, nor incite violence against them, but criticism, especially moral disapproval, should NOT be disallowed under hate speech legislation. I should be equally able to criticize white supremacists, Islamic or Christian fundamentalists, politicians, or homosexual activists.

Dobson talks about [Radical] Islam

All this week, James Dobson is discussing radical Islam, for the first time in his public ministry (I think).  Today's show, Radical Islam's Impact on America (Part 1 of 2), was an interview with Joel Rosenberg,

a best-selling author whose books include The Last Jihad, The Last Days and The Ezekiel Option. He is also the founder of The Joshua Fund, an organization dedicated to providing humanitarian relief while spreading the gospel in the Middle East.

Should be an interesting week, so tune in.

My Two Cents #93 - Islam

• EU Hate Speech Declaration:  Several members of the European Parliament (the EU) will be submitting a hate speech declaration next week, which will "banish racism and hate propaganda from the Internet altogether."  Translation?  Forget publishing those Mohammed cartoons you drew last night.
• Spain’s Policy of Appeasing Terrorists Backfires: President Zapatero withdrew his forces from Iraq, and has pursued a more gentle, leftist approach to terrorism.  The results?   A truce with Islam?  No.  Muslims still believe that 4/5ths of Spain belongs to them - you know, the parts that were conquered by the Moors, but were then kicked out in the Reconquista (1492).
• Multicultural Failure in Sweden:  Try to be nice to Islamists and what do you get?  Riots and native flight to places where Islam is not.
• Three choices with Islam:  We all know of the three choices of dhimmitude under Islam - convert, submit as a second class citizen under dhimmi taxes, or die.  First Things has an interesting set of possible outcomes when Muslims move to your country - assimilation of Muslims into the culture, expulsion of Muslims, or Islamic takeover.

Many Sons, Lots of Guns

This short film on the gun markets of Pakistan is amazing.  Religion of peace, indeed.  The poor people of these regions are victims of the physical and spiritual poverty and violence that come with Islam.
