THERE IS NO NEED to go fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. Not when they are already living in London in public housing and screeching diatribes about the coming conquest while treating themselves to all the luxuries of the welfare state. And as their numbers grow, ignoring them will become impossible. – Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Magazine (more…)

“I heard that the persecution, my arrest and imprisonment has united churches from different denominations, from different cities and countries, that would never come together because of their differences,” Abedini wrote. “You don’t know how happy I was in the Lord …”Lisa Daftari, FoxNews (more…)

THE MOST INTERESTING thing in Japan’s approach to Islam is the fact that the Japanese do not feel the need to apologize to Muslims for the negative way in which they relate to Islam. – Mordechai Kedar, Ph.D., Bar-Ilan University, The Jewish Press

SURELY ORDINARY DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND that underlings don’t decide to withhold military or emergency assistance to 34 Americans under attack from jihadis on 9/11? … I know we are different on many questions of war and peace and diplomacy.

We don’t do that in America and pretend it’s okay, do we? – Karin McQuillan, American Thinker (more…)

THE REALITY IS that Muslims in this country get a pass from our government.

MOTHERS TELL THEIR LITTLE CHILDREN not to talk to strangers not because they think all strangers are dangerous, but because children can’t tell which are and which are not. U.S. Marines keep their weapons ready to fire when they enter a village in Afghanistan not because they think all Afghanis are the enemy but because they can’t distinguish the ones that are from those who are not. Just as it is necessary for mothers to “suspect” all strangers and American soldiers to suspect all Afghans, so it may become necessary to suspect all devotees of Islam in order to ferret out the terrorists hiding among them. – Terry Heinrichs, American Thinker (more…)
