... that wants to kill us all. Period. End of story. You can be sure they want to kill you, white Christian infidel, or worse-- white Atheist infidel-- but, being Jewish, they definitely and specifically want to kill me. So, who is still blind to the here, queer, get used to it Islamist threat? Well, the NY Times, of course! They wrote: It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental hostage scene. Yep, no idea, might be a total coincidence. Mark Steyn has, of course, the ultimate piece on the whole situation : In a well-planned attack on ...

... American company has caused an uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The controversial miniature figure, created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line, is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little grenade launcher and plastic bombs that can be attached to an explosives belt. The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14. Related... Mark Steyn wrote more about offended Muslims at National Review today.

We Can Not Tolerate Any More Silence
The Sundries Shack —
I don’t normally quote huge swaths of an article, but I need to make an exception for Mark Steyn’s column this week . He reveals some information I had not heard about the Islamist murders in Bombay. I did not know that the Islamist killers specifically targeted the only Jewish Rabbi in a city of 20 million people and spent a year working on the plan. Let’s start with Steyn’s excerpt and, if my blood pressure holds up, we’ll move from there. In fact, you’d be hard pressed from most news reports to figure out the bloodshed was “linked” to any religion, least of all one ...
A Conspiracy Of Silence
Blue Crab Boulevard —
... Mark Steyn notes the way the media identifies terrorists and their complete inability to figure out what motivates them - or who their targets are. He’s writing about the latest terror attacks in Mumbai. Oh, I don’t know about that. In fact, you’d be hard pressed from most news reports to figure out the bloodshed was “linked” to any religion, least of all one beginning with “I-“ and ending in “-slam.” In the three years since those British bombings, the media have more or less entirely abandoned the offending formulations — “Islamic terrorists,” “Muslim extremists” — and by ...

... some of this kind of coverage on the Rush Limbaugh show today. Even if you take the view that it would be grossly unfair if all Muslims were to be tarred by Major Hasan's brush, it is, to put it at its mildest, the grossest bad taste to default every single time within minutes to the position that what's of most interest about an actual actrocity with real victims is that it may provoke an entirely hypothetical behavior with entirely hypothetical victims. I refer you yet again to this note-perfect parody: ...

... Muslim Brotherhood network extends through our universities, our government and our military. It is “politically incorrect” to recognize this fact. You can be barred — as I have been — from speaking at universities for even talking about it. The embargo of discussion of the Islamo-fascist threat puts every American (including the infidel collaborators) at risk. Hasan had semi-automatic weapons. But they weren’t nuclear. Not this time, not yet anyway. Steyn reprises a column from the Bombay Terror Murders nearly a year ago–funny how only the faces and places have changed, ...
