Queen Elizabeth Knights Muslim

(London) Yes, it happened. Queen Elizabeth bestowed knighthood on a Muslim. I don't know if there have been others, but I'd surely like to see a photo of the new British Muslim Knight, Sir Iqbal Sacranie, standing between his brothers of the realm, Sir Elton John and Sir Mick Jagger, arguably two people who warped past infidel status decades ago.

The freshly-minted Muslim Knight is said to be in favor of a law "to create an offence (sic) of incitement to religious hatred." I'm not sure if that means he's for or against religious hatred. The Religion of Peace hasn't been all that clear on the subject in recent years.

Note that when a Muslim places a sword next to the neck of an infidel, it's a beheading, but when an infidel places a sword next to the neck of a Muslim, it's a bestowing. The difference between Islam and anything else is not strictly philosophical.

What are the chances that the King of Islam will make the Queen a mullah? Or a mufti?

“Camp al-Lodi”: Just The Tip Of The Iceberg: FBI Terror Probe Moves South to San Francisco Peninsula. As Islamists say, "First the Saturday people - then the Sunday people," and Sunday's getting closer!

Get use to it - it's not just Lodi folks, it's all around us where ever Muslims congregate. Again, we're seeing only the tip of the iceberg. And I'll keep saying it until you hear me. Remember - first the Saturday people(Jews), then the Sunday people(Christians), and during the process, there go our freedoms.

Islamdom

Of the image, not exactly what we want to allow to happen. "It's not just the mosques, it's their schools, youth groups, community centers, political organizations, professional associations, and commercial enterprises also tend to share a militant outlook, hostile to the prevailing order in the United States and advocating its replacement with an Islamic one" (Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, of the Islamic Supreme Council of America)."

Californtia Conservative(CC) posts on the S.F. Chronicle report:

“Federal officials investigating possible terrorism links in a Lodi case involving five men are questioning members of a Northern California Islamic group, apparently with an eye to linking it with possible extremist activities.

CC correctly notes - "Getting closer to home." That reference is to his home, but his comment should strike a nerve in every non-Islamic household in America and Europe. Islamofascism is getting ever closer to 'all of our homes'.


“FBI agents interviewed an official of the Farooqia Islamic Center in his East Palo Alto home this week and suggested that other leaders of the group had made inflammatory speeches about terrorism, the official said Thursday. In Lodi, agents went door to door conducting more interviews of Pakistani Americans in the investigation.

In San Francisco, FBI spokeswoman LaRae Quy acknowledged that agents from her office had been drawn into the investigation. She would not speculate about whether the Farooqia center was a front for extremists, but said, “Many legitimate organizations are hijacked for sinister reasons, for criminal activity.

FBI agents interviewed Mohammed Hakik on Tuesday at his house in East Palo Alto. Hakik, who is of Fijian descent, is listed in state records as president of the Farooqia Islamic Center.'Â’

CC appropriately provides the "Politically-correct" disclaimer: "The E. Palo Alto Islamic center is under investigation; no arrests have been made." Yes, in America we have a system of laws and we function under the premise that someone is innocent until proven guilty.

But let's realize too, that the Muslims are exploiting this and consider it one of our weaknesses. Have you asked yourself yet just where are the voices of so-called moderate muslims? Whether and to what degree the Muslim community as a whole subscribes to the Islamist agenda are open questions. "But what is not open to question is that, whatever the majority of Muslim Americans may believe, most of the organized Muslim community agrees with the Islamist goal—the goal of building an Islamic state in America. To put it another way, the major Muslim organizations in this country are in the hands of
extremists."

Do you think that this is just a bit of a reach, stepping from terrorism to the Muslim street? One need only look to what a Muslim who is not among the Islamists has to say on the issue of the Muslim agenda in America. Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, of the Islamic Supreme Council of America. According to Daniel Pipes, "in Kabbani's reliable estimation, such "extremists" have "taken over 80 percent of the mosques" in the United States. And not just the mosques: schools, youth groups, community centers, political organizations, professional associations, and commercial enterprises also tend to share a militant outlook, hostile to the prevailing order in the United States and advocating its replacement with an Islamic one."

So one more time! "... not just the mosques: schools, youth groups, community centers, political organizations, professional associations, and commercial enterprises also tend to share a militant outlook, and are hostile to the prevailing order in the United States and advocate its replacement with an Islamic one".

Continuing from CC's post:


In an affidavit made available to reporters Tuesday, the FBI said Hayat had attended a training camp that was “operated by Maulana Fazlur Rehman. " The FBI deleted all references to Rehman in a revised affidavit released Wednesday but did not remove the reference to the camp."

Rehman is actually Fazlur Rahman Khalil, according to Haqqani.

In 1998, Khalil was one of the three signatories of Osama bin Laden’s “fatwa calling for a jihad (Muslim holy war) against Jews and crusaders and the United States,” Haqqani said. He has since operated within plain sight of Pakistan’s government, which periodically reins him in and lets him return to action months later, Haqqani said.”

CC asks, "A jihad against Jews and the United States; who are the “crusaders?” And why isn’t Pakistan doing something about this?;"

Troubling times in California? Yes, and very troubling times in America!

Religion of Peace Update: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta edition

Now that I've got my Instalanche, I can just sit back and watch the hits coming. But in the spirit of solidarity to all my homies, here is what I'm reading this morning. Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta!

Others (following our lead) now reporting Zaraqawi dead, however all of us are relying on the same source. I'll try to contact some alternative sources about this and see what the Jihadi boards are saying. Laurence Simon, over at The Dead Pool, has a pretty funny poll going on Zarqawi's demise. Go vote early and vote often!

Suicide bombers, not content with murdering Shias in Iraq, murder 10 Suffis.

American soldier, not content with being dhimmi, becomes a Muslim.

Top Islamofascist cleric in Australia believes hostage, Douglas Wood, will be freed. No word on how he know this, who his contacts with the terrorist in Iraq are, and how come he knows how to contact the terrorists yet somehow the Australian government can't send a commando team in.

Can chicks have balls? Cause Cao has a massive set of cajones taking on the Islamofascists here.

Good news everyone! This Islamofascists in Iran may kill you if you convert to Buddhism but they will allow you to get breast implants!! Cause Allah loves big knockers.........

Quotes you're likely to hear in the near future: "He was really an o.k. guy, except for that whole chopping off my head thing."

Around the sphere:

Professor Chaos doesn't get a job at the Library of Congress because he's white, male, and not a transvestite.

As a Trojan alumni I'd say banning beer on 32nd Street would be more of a service to the neighborhood than banning beer at the Coliseum. You know, there might be less gay toga parties that way.

Dan Rather is a first class idiot. Period.

Man this guy is good. Real good.

Yes, to the horror of most of my readers, I support Marijuana legalization. Not for the economic gain, which Digger cites here, but because it's about liberty. The liberty to do stupid things, like getting crunched man.

Religion of Peace Update: Death Star Edition

jihadi_blames_star_wars.jpg
I'm starting to think Princess Leia was one of these Left wing idiotarians. Think of her foreign policy stance vis-a-vis the Empire. Governor Tarkin would never would never destroy Alderaan because it's a peaceful planet with no weapons that posed a threat to the Empire. If Abu Musab al Zarqawi could get a hold of the Death Star, do you think he'd spare France?

It's The Religion of Peace Update!

Images courtesy of Beth at My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy and Gordon at Cranky Neocon.

Surprise: 40% of suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudi.

South Africa's Ward Churchill: US reeping what it sowed. And speaking of Ward Churchill, it turns out that indicted al Qada conspirator and US citizen Tarik Shah was a big Ward Churchill fan who has no problem smiling at you one minute and slitting your throat the next.

PS: American terrorist pleads guilty.


Jihadists continue war against infidels. And by infidels, we don't exempt all the quasi-Buddhists in suburban Marin County, CA, who, you know, support the terrorists. Oh and any Muslim who is not our kind of a Muslim is an infidel too. And Christians in Indonesia who when we're not oppressing were busy murdering when they get a little uppity.

Shock: Amnesty International is headed by an Asian Muslim women, gives Islamofascists and Asian mass-murderers a pass.

Better make that nukular materials intercepted on way to Iran.

Hussein trial to begin soon, left wingers already spinning conspiracy theory that trial will never happen.

And as leftists talk about the 'illegal war' and 'Iraqi right to resistance' justifying terrorist attacks, the Iraqis fear that the US will cut and run too soon and the NYT could care less. Meanwhile, blast hits Iraq airport. The terrozombies released this video last week of the same target. The US led offensive explained by some one involved over at the Paratrooper of Love's place.

'Terrorists' holding another doll hostage claiming he's a CIA agent. I should have the video and pics later.

Islam disrespected? And deservedly so!

Religion of Peace Update

By Matt from WMD:

Moderate Muslims don't seem all that interested in defending the Religion of Peace as a religion of peace and attack those who do.

From the Washington Times:

Though met by modest crowds, the recent first-ever Free Muslims March Against Terrorism could be considered a success in one key respect: It further exposed the unwillingness of most major Muslim groups to condemn the radicals that have come to dominate their religion.

It also further cemented the growing reputation of organizer Kamal Nawash, head of the Free Muslims Coalition (FMC), as one of the only genuine moderate leaders of a national Islamic organization.
While I don't expect every Muslim to go to rallies like this one, it would be nice to hear condemnation of terrorist attacks whenever and wherever they happen. At worst, it would be seen as a good public relations move; at best, such action would deter further attacks.

Do I expect it to happen? Not with these people calling the shots for the Religion of Peace...

Groups like Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) have a track record of condemning — but only targets like the Fox television show "24," which they blasted earlier this year for having terrorists who were Muslims.

Never mind that CAIR officials have refused to condemn Hamas and Hezbollah when asked to do so by The Washington Post and others, describing questions about the terrorist groups as a "game." And MPAC maintains, for example, that the Hezbollah murder of 241 Americans in Lebanon in 1983 was not a terrorist attack.
These people don't understand the problem they face...but do they really want peace? I don't think so...
Although not shy about badmouthing Mr. Nawash and FMC, CAIR and MPAC largely stayed silent regarding the rally. But CAIR was careful to refer people seeking comment about the rally to Hussein Ibish, former communications director at the Arab-American Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), who used to work in the same office as Mr. Nawash years ago.

Mr. Ibish has been on a tear of late, writing two rambling smear pieces on his former co-worker. In one, he labeled Mr. Nawash "unsavory" and called his efforts to condemn radical Islam in the same breath as terrorism "appalling." This is a marked contrast to how he responds to fellow Muslims who call for "jihad" and "Death to America."

Appearing on CNN in August 2002, Mr. Ibish was asked about a 1991 fund-raising letter from suspected (and indicted) terrorist Sami al-Arian that read, in part, "Jihad is our path! Victory to Islam! Death to Israel and victory to Islam! Revolution, revolution until victory! Rolling, rolling to Jerusalem!"

His response? " 'Death to Israel' does not necessarily mean violence. Jihad can mean a lot of things," he explained. Without explanation, Mr. Ibish abruptly — and bizarrely — switched the topic. "I'll tell you who is advocating violence. It is Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, who advocated torturing people."

These are the kinds of people that are their spokesmen. And the message isn't one of peace, no matter how you define it.
[The Muslim-American Society (MAS)] is the most ardent advocate of the United States forging closer ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, the worldwide Islamist organization that has served as the theological inspiration for many of today's leading terrorists. Muslim Brotherhood's main goal is to create Islamic states around the world.

The kinds of Islamic states that Muslim Brotherhood and MAS would create, ironically, would be most inhospitable to someone like Mr. Ibish, who loves both wine and women. Though he does not shower praise on Islamist organizations, Mr. Ibish rarely criticizes them. Targets of his wrath, in fact, are almost always the enemies of the Islamists whom he should consider his enemies.

Were Mr. Ibish to change course and attack rabid Islamists rather than defend them, his stock among Muslim leaders would plummet. Such is the culture of conformity that punishes the likes of Mr. Nawash, while Mr. Ibish and other secular defenders of venomous Islamists thrive.
Read that last paragraph again. That tells me all I need to know...

Female Afghan 'Veejay' Murdered

(Kabul, Afghanistan) After the fall of the Taliban, Shaima Rezayee, 24, immediately discarded her burkha and became a video journalist for Kabul's answer to MTV. In this capacity, she hosted an hour-long music and chat show airing videos of Western singers which outraged conservative Muslims. Two months ago, Rezayee was fired due to pressure from Islamic mullahs. This week, she was murdered in her home by an unknown assailant. The killing is believed to be linked to her time as a veejay.

Obviously, living in a democracy doesn't automatically guarantee freedom of expression.

Religion of 'Peace' Update

From the Epoch Times:

DUBAI - Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq defended the killing of "innocent Muslims" in suicide bombings against U.S. forces, saying it was legitimate under Islam for the sake of jihad (Holy War), according to an audio tape attributed to him.

"The killing of infidels by any method including martyrdom (suicide) operations has been sanctified by many scholars even if it meant killing innocent Muslims. This legality has been agreed upon ... so as not to disrupt Jihad," Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said on the tape posted on an Islamist Web site on Wednesday.

I am just stunned by this admission that it's okie-day to be killing their own, let alone our guys...

Rumor, Consequence, and Responsibility

Although we've never met, John Burgess at Crossroads Arabia and the Hyscience crew have been blogging and commenting back and forth for so long that I think of him as a friend, a friend I often disagree with, but one that I enjoy exchanging ideas with and one whose knowledge and ideas I value. However, in his "Rumor & Consequence" as has been the case before, I find much to agree with and almost as much to disagree with. I believe that John's commentary attributes too much blame on gross intolerance and xenophobia while avoiding what I believe is the real issue which I come back to below - the 800 pound gorilla in the living room, not Newsweek's stupid mistake and escape from journalistic standards and reason(and being all too quick and content to discredit our military and the administration) or gross intolerance and xenophobia, but the reaction of the Muslim world to the Newsweek article. The Islamists need to be held accountable for their violence, murder, mindless tantrums, and childish mindset. Like dogs on a leash, they dance to the tune of hate and cleric-instigated violence.

John writes in his piece:

"The atrocities of Abu Ghraib—and those alleged to have taken place at Guantanamo—are just that: atrocities. They are horrors both because of what they were in themselves as well as what they said about our self-image as a country."

I, on the other hand, on the matter of abuse, ask what acts are more barbaric, horrifying, appalling, brutal, wicked, abominable, and cruel(all refer to the quality or state of being atrocious), the kind of acts attributed to Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib, or raping women, sawing off heads, and shooting people in the back of the head with their hands tied behind them(all acts committed by Islamic terrorists and insurgents)? Which set of mindless acts indeed rise to the zenith of abuse? Given the choice of having my head sawed off or stripped naked by women, blood smeared on me, pictures taken of me naked and on a leash held by a sick guard(worse things happen in college and even high school hazing rituals every year) I think that I would choose any of the these except having my head sawed off. Which would you choose? And which is more atrocious? But where is the media outcry over the truly attrocious acts conducted by the terrorists and the insurgents? Answer - it's directed at America. more...

Afghan Clerics DonÂ’t Trust Newsweek Retraction

Quite fortuitously, Chad at inTheBullPen has a post that's a good match for my previous diatribe on the Muslim culture and mindset. Chad posts that, "Despite the fact that Newsweek has said their report concerning the alleged flushing of the Koran was erroneous, the same Islamic clerics who want the interrogators shipped to an Islamic country for trial now say they do not believe NewsweekÂ’s retraction. Shocking? It shouldnÂ’t be."

“We will not be deceived by this,” Islamic cleric Mullah
Sadullah Abu Aman told Reuters in the northern Afghan province of
Badakhshan, referring to the magazineÂ’s retraction.


“This is a decision by America to save itself. It comes because of American pressure. Even an ordinary illiterate peasant understands this and
won’t accept it.”

Chad notes that "this comes not only from a group already believing the United States is in a war against Islam, something the MSM and several Left-leaning politicians and pundits advance ‘unwittingly’, but it also comes from people that only have the slightest clue of what a free press is. The lack of understanding that Newsweek is not controlled by the government is partially responsible for the same non-believing that a retraction was not pushed by the Bush administration."

Chad's take on the Muslim culture and mindset is much kinder than my own, but having previously written that the mindless, tantrum-like violence sparked by the false story has shown us the true face of the Islamic culture today - the face of a sick and violence-prone society, enveloped and characterized more by hate than by love of God and humanity, and badly in need of reform, I'll just leave it at that. If the entire situation wasn't so damned dangerous and have such grave repercussions, the Muslims as a people and their reactions to the non-event would be laughable.

Islamic Tantrums, Etc.: Newsweek one-line error sparks world-wide riots and violence throughout Muslim world

I've waited several days to post on this, hoping someone else would comment on it - but I guess I'm the only one that considered what has happened across the Muslim world over the past few days as the tantrums of a sick culture. Sure, Newsweek did what the mainstream media does best in a world that places more importance on getting the story out first than on getting the story out right;  they researched, wrote a piece, trashed the administration and our country, trashed the reputation of our military, and got the story out to the world - wrongly.  Subsequently, sparked by a single paragraph in Newsweek alleging that US military interrogators had desecrated the Koran, a wave of anti-American demonstrations swept the Islamic world from the Gaza Strip to the Java Sea. In the past week it was condemned in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Malaysia and by the Arab League, and on Sunday, Afghan Muslim clerics threatened to call for a holy war against the United States. Think about it, this is from a sub-population of our planet that refers to themselves as peaceful? What does this say about their culture, their thoughtfulness, their mindset, and their suitability to join in the rest of mankind in making our planet a better place to live ? One can only describe the Islamist's and Muslim's reaction as tantrums - child-like fits, mindless violence, and just plain old lack of class and respect for life and other people's property.   

Frankly, I don't give a damned what anyone does to the Koran. My opinion(personal viewpoint - not an expert opinion) is that it is a work of fiction, half-truths, and  distorted facts, written by 'who really knows how many people' to control a population, and the toilet is just as good a place for it as a book shelf or night stand. But the toilet episode never occured in the first place, Newsweek got it wrong, the Arab press never bothered to verify the alleged toilet episode any more than did Newsweek, and the mindless, tantrum-like violence sparked by the false story showed all of us the true face of the Islamic culture today - a sick and violence-prone society, enveloped and characterized more by hate than by love of God and humanity, and badly in need of reform.

Gambian Muslim Leader: Female Genital Mutilation "An Honor"

Female genital cutting(mutilation or FGM)is practiced by Muslims and non-Muslims(mostly Muslims - how many Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or Janists do you know or have ever read of that condone this barbaric procedure?) alike residing mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa in countries that include but are not limited to Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Chad. A more minor form of the procedure is also performed in some parts of the Middle East and South Asia. Degrees of mutilation exist ranging from excision of the hood of the clitoris or clitoris itself to complete infibulation which involves removal of the clitoris, labia minora and labia majora, leaving a small opening for the passage of urine and menstrual blood.

As you might expect from the description of the procedure, normal sexual intercourse is not possible without a corrective procedure(you can only hope) and childbirth frequently involves severe trauma that can result in life-threatening hemorrhage. Other complications include chronic urinary tract and other infections, infertility, psychological trauma, sexual dysfunction, menstrual problems and several other negative medical and emotional outcomes. The procedure is performed on girls between the ages of infancy and pre-adolescence and is either carried out by a physician, midwife or designated woman from the community. Lack of sterile technique, use of the same instruments on more than one child, and lack of anesthesia all contribute to the complication rate which can even include infection with HIV.

Yet Alhaji Banding Drammeh, president of the Supreme Islamic Council - SIC(great acronym and rather appropriate), says that “FGM is a recommendation of the hadiths of the Prophet. It is an honour for a lady to undergo the practice of FGM.’’ But in fairness, he does say that the practice is optional. That one would hope is the case, and there are probably many women that wish they had never experienced FGM.

Religion of 'Jesus was a Prophet' Update

The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

"No one, sir," she said.

"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

Notes and Asides: Laura Bush Beheading Edition

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Cranky Neocon Jr.

Happy Blogoversary to Eric at Vince aut Morire.

Phin is now on mu.nu? Man, they'll let just about anybody in these days......

Confederate Yankee catches the DU nutjobs photoshopping Laura Bush in a very Zarqawi pose.

That's not Jenna Bush's pet beaver you're seeing. Nothing to see there. Move along. Seriously, this one has been debunked. Not that I follow this sort of thing.......But, come on, Wonkette and I linked to this eons ago. Cause, you know, we follow the important stories..

Hey, Dean, what he said. Also, when asking what 'Christians believe' about, say, gay marriage, it's probably a lot wiser to ask a Methodist lay person than, say, an Episcopelian Bishop. The same rule applies to Islam. One can't ask a liberal to defend the mainstream.

Further, what people in the mainstream believe is often quite different than the theology of the mainstream. For instance, ask your average Methodist to explain the Trinity.

That Muslims are trying to distance themselves from the mainstream idea that it's ok to kill the infidel is heartening. But to claim that the mainstream of Islam never believed in such a doctrine is disengenious, at best.

Religion of Peace Roundup: White Trash Wednesday Edition

Man, I never knew the Religion of Peace and good old fashioned white trash had so much in common!

There's nothing a redneck loves more than a good bloody flick, right? So CAIR gives its seal of approval to the new movie Kingdom of Heaven. I was so looking forward to it too! Let me guess: when CAIR says the flick gives a 'balanced' view of the Crusades they really mean 'Christians look bad'. Count me out now.

Lamia Abed Khadouri al-Sagri, a member of Iraq's National Assembly,
was murdered by terrorists inside her house. These guys are just like the Klan on meth.

The deadline is up for the 3 Romanian and 1 American hostage being held in Iraq. Romania has asked that their captors extend the deadline. No jokes, just pray.

Like rich-white-trash diva Paris Hilton's Blackberry, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's computer got hacked. What was on it? Porn, of course.

The Ebb and Flow Institute has a great biography of Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician who is being held in prison to guard him from members of the Religion of Peace who peacefully have threatened to peacefully cut his head off because he had the nads to speak out against them.

Highest religious authority in Saudi Arabia gets caught on tape urging young Muslims to go fight in Iraq, use General Lee to cross border.

High-school dropout? Learn a new skill from home: USDOJ publishes al Qaeda training manual. (Via Evil Glenn)

Islamic scholar Ali al-Timimi convicted of inciting al Qaeda support, Muslims seethe.

Pakistan will not give up nukes. Meanwhile, the Religion of Peace beats the crap out of an uppity young Pakistani Christian.

Man convicted in missile sting operation. I'm sure it was a setup.

"I punched Saddam in the mouth!"--Man, I envy that dude!

Groups in Turkey move to ban Schwarzenegger films because of his support for recognition of Armenian genocide. Gay porn still popular in Turkish mountains.

The Muslim school agenda vs. the Creationist school agenda. Food for thought.

Andrew Sullivan in full Freak-Out mode. And speaking of Andrew Sullivan: Gay rebels married in Philippines first openly gay-terrorist wedding ceremony.

MoveOn.org has some new TV spots. Let me give you a hint: there are no chicks in bikinis.

When 'people of the soil' protest Bush.

More oil refineries? Hell yes!

The Abe Fortas fillibuster in perspective.

When white-trash marries a promulent lawyer. Elizabeth Edwards' tinfoil brigades.

Jeff Quinton must not get a lot of trolls these days. Hey Jeff, come on over whenever you feel the need to go troll hunting!

Thomas Sowell on Black Rednecks.

And remember, for all your teacher-student sex-scandal updates check out Interested Participant!

A number of people have e-mailed me about the Kill Jews for Peace Website. My initial reaction was that it had to be a spoof. Beth thinks otherwise. If it's not, then why the hell does Cao get a death fatwa issued but not me!!

Why Lebanon Matters. I disagree that Lebanon is the key to resolving the Clash of Civilizations, but it is key in spreading democracy and further isolating Syria. Speaking of, Syria says that most of their troops are pulling out today. (Via Chad)

In Indonesia they give you 4.5 days in jail for every person you murder in the name of Jihad. On the other hand, if you're caught with some marijuana, you could just find yourself in jail for the rest of your life. Especially if you're a Westerner.

Saudis arrest 40 Christians for praying. Good thing they weren't trying to convert a Muslim, that could get your head chopped off!

Report: Conservative Southern Democrats Disappearing

Sexual predators could be in your town. Scary thought.

When hunger strikes go terribly wrong!

Phin thinks we should invade the Vatican now! It's funny because it's true.

Markos "Screw Them" Zúniga is chosen as Jackass of the Week over at Decision '08. Persnonaly I'd like to nominate him for Jackass of the Century.

The guys get shirts! Or, the single fashion review ever written that doesn't sound gay.

Leopold Stotch proves he has poor taste by declaring ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition 'the most inspiring show on television today'. Dumbass!

One nation under dog.

Apocolypse Now--The Llama Butchers ask the important questions: Whatever happened to Kelly McGillis? Meanwhile, Kevin Aylward asks the even more important questions: Whatever happened to Cory Haim?
