Andrew Bolt gives Hossein Adibi, a whining sociologist and “Islamic philosopher”, the finger: No more ethnic scapegoating
IT took Hossein Adibi, the sociologist and “Islamic philosopher”, to finally convince me enough was enough.
Am I a racist? Or are all these pandering politicos the real racists, granting prizes to members of ethnic minorities on the basis of tying their own shoelaces or being able to chew gum while they walk?
Iran stops lying: it no longer pretends their nuclear efforts are for ‘peaceful purposes only': A high-level Iranian official said that Iran will not dialogue with the United States until Iran has a nuclear bomb. More from JTA
The message from Israel’s new prime minister is stark: if the Obama administration doesn’t prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons, Israel may be forced to attack.
In an interview conducted shortly before he was sworn in today as prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu laid down a challenge for Barack Obama. The American president, he said, must stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons—and quickly—or an imperiled Israel may be forced to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities itself.
“The Obama presidency has two great missions: fixing the economy, and preventing Iran from gaining nuclear weapons,” Netanyahu told me. He said the Iranian nuclear challenge represents a “hinge of history” and added that “Western civilization” will have failed if Iran is allowed to develop nuclear weapons.
* Military Police investigation on IDF ‘war crimes’ claims in Gaza: Based on hearsay
The damage is done. All the court-martials in the world won’t unring that bell. It behooves IDF soldiers and officers to be careful about what they say, especially about events of which they have no first hand knowledge. That’s an important lesson for the future.
Hillary: Yes, the “war on terror” really is over
So apparently, if they are willing to abandon violence and pursue their goal of implementing Islamic law by other means, that is just fine with her. Here is yet another demonstration of the danger of misdiagnosis of the global jihad threat: the problem is not the means the Taliban use, the problem is their goal. The Taliban are not bad because they are violent — after all, so are the forces that oppose them. However, as far as the President and the Secretary of State are concerned, that is the only problem with them. If they try to accomplish their goals at the ballot box rather than with guns and bombs, Obama and Clinton would welcome them as partners. The fact that the Taliban want to impose a law upon Afghanistan that would subjugate women and non-Muslims as inferiors, denied equality of rights with Muslim men, and extinguish freedom of speech and freedom of conscience, means nothing to them.
And why should it? Karzai’s Afghanistan is already a Sharia state, according to the Afghan Constitution.

* Our man in Kabul Hamid Karzai: signs law ‘legalising rape in marriage’
President Hamid Karzai has signed a law the UN says legalises rape in marriage and prevents women from leaving the house without permission.
Italy’s Interior Minister Roberto Maroni speaking recently on RAI Radio warned that two million Africans are ready to travel from Libya to Europe.
“Rivers of illegal immigrants” are ready to cross from Libya to Europe, Maroni said
Illegal immigration is the greatest challenge facing Malta at present – even residents of our core villages such as Balzan are extremely concerned about the influx of illegal immigrants – let alone coastal areas such as Birzebbuga and St Paul’s Bay – and of course the special problems being faced by areas with detention centres such as Marsa and Safi.
Houari Boumédienne, Algeria’s undisputed ruler until his death in 1978, said it clearly In 1974:
“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”
Originally from Mail Online but lifted from Bunglawussie’s ‘Islamophobia Watch’ where they find the comments objectionable
Thus the headline to a story in today’s Daily Mail. The report itself is in fact quite neutral, but the editorial staff presumably chose this headline to provoke a particular response among the paper’s readers. And they were not disappointed. Some examples of online comments:
Because it depicts Muhammad being dragged into hell by a demon.

ISLAMIC PROTEST — Visitors to the magnificent church of St. Petronio in Bologna are now searched by Italian police before entering because in addition to protests by Muslims offended by a depiction of Mohammed in a 14th-century fresco, there have been unsuccessful attempts to blow the painting up.

Incompetence meets spin:
Frantic activity and a misleading headline from the Australian. The Australian press (still) gives chairman KRudd a free ride:
