Nature

While I doubt Libyan militia are as self-aware as Aesop’s Scorpion… Western elites (politicians, media, bureaucrats) are surely just as, if not more, gullible than the Frog. Who besides the suits (including pantsuits) didn’t see things like this coming?

Human Rights Watch said that Omar Brebesh, a career diplomat who was cultural attache [...]

They Are Empty Vessels! I Didn’t Say Empty Your Vessels!!!!

Some Marines are in trouble for peeing on the dead bodies of some Taliban. I guess on some level I wish they hadn’t done that, but my “give a damn” just isn’t too worked about it. My main issue… why WHY did they videotape it? Good Lord that was breathtakingly dumb.

Top U.S. officials moved [...]

The Road to Morocco

Floyd — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:22:59 +0000

Here’s a great piece from John Fund over at NRO on what Islamist compromise looks like in Morocco. It looks encouraging — but they don’t have complete control.

The palace’s first reaction to a street vendor’s suicide in Tunisia was to give every subject the right to place a piece of cardboard on the [...]

Powerline links to a sobering story from The Investigative Project on Terrorism about a ring of used car dealerships around the U.S. in places like Tulsa, OK, and Mt. Joliet, TN with ties to Hezbollah and Mexican drug cartels….:

Afghan… Wigging

Floyd — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 14:41:34 +0000

You may have heard of the Afghan woman who was raped by her cousin’s husband, got pregnant from that and was sentenced to 12 years in prison before President Hamid Karzai pardoned her — conditioned on her marrying her rapist. Karzai fleshes out that position more here. Whether he’s sincere or not remains to [...]

Religious Liberty For Me But Not For Thee

Floyd — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 01:20:44 +0000

As election results from Egypt pour in showing that Islamic extremists won over 60% of the vote (let that sink in for a moment) I am even more ardently convinced that the so-called “Democracy Project” emphasized by George W. Bush is a fool’s errand — no matter the soft-headed idealism (read naivete). One doesn’t allow [...]

No horse-heads … yet

To bum a sentiment from David Stein by way of Michael Corleone, just when you think all the fuss about David’s take-down of Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s intellectual dishonesty re. Gov. Rick Perry’s Muslim curriculum had seen its last, they pull him back in to the fray. Be sure to check out David’s whole [...]

They’ll Learn to Drive Stick

The above is a Saudi woman who drives — apparently. From the Huffington Post comes this story of a report from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on wimmins drivers:

A report given to a high-level advisory group in Saudi Arabia claims that allowing women in the kingdom to drive could encourage premarital sex, a [...]

Sunni and Shari’a

Back together and playing the Sands…

Anticipating a strong presence in the new Egyptian parliament, ultraconservative Islamists outlined plans Friday for a strict brand of religious law, a move that could limit personal freedoms and steer a key U.S. ally toward an Islamic state.

Egypt’s election commission announced only a trickle of results from the [...]
