Smoke rises from objects being burnt to form a roadblock as people react after a protester was shot in the head while demonstrating in the town of Sheikh Zuweid, 344 km (214 miles) northeast of Cairo, January 27, 2011.
Just to prepare you better when you run into some Muslims who’ll tell you that “stoning is not in the Koran”….
Six months later, there have been no arrests in the stoning death of a young Afghan couple who had eloped. One will recall that this was the case where Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai, condemned the execution without trial, but did not say a wordabout the method of execution. Our moderate “Friend and Ally” would not condemn stoning as he tried to win the favor of clerics who want the worst of Sharia’s punishments enforced.

Here’s the poor frail old granny Fox Piven who wants to set the world on fire:
This hag is stewing in her own vomit. Piven cites her 1960′s article in “The Nation” where she wrote “poor people claim lawful benefits” — like the game plan isn’t hidden in that benign phrase — and admonishes Glenn for exposing her (and others’) “insidious” agenda while calling fully awake American citizens “insidious”. Conspirators always decry “conspiracy theory” and tar the accusers with their guilty brush. Oldest trick in the world.
Frances Fox Piven said:
“In my case, it’s a little article that I wrote with my husband 45 years ago in The Nation magazine proposing that poor people claim their lawful benefits from the welfare system.”
A welfare system, by definition, isn’t a right – OTHER PEOPLE are providing the welfare.
The Australian government springs into action after a (Greens) Sydney City councillor, Irene Doutney, and individual consumers reported on extensive evidence that Coles was mislabeling fruit.
Leaving aside the questionable politics behind boycotting the Jewish state, these “activists” are clearly unaware that “Jaffa Orange” refer to a species which is also grown in other countries.
Indeed more than 90% of Jaffa oranges, (including many of those with Jaffa Israel stickers on them) are grown outside of Israel…mostly in Spain and South Africa but also in fifteen other countries.
But I guess to this lot, all Jaffa oranges look somehow Jewish, just as all Jews look somehow guilty, right?
For a believing Muslim, nothing the ancient Egyptians produced has any value,  not the sphinx or the pyramids or  the tomb of Tutankhamun. There is no statue,  no work of art  or music that is permissible  (haram) in the eyes of  Allah.  What matters is Islam, nothing but Islam. What matters is spreading the religion, and if the world burns in the process let it burn!
But no, its not that simple. When it comes to ancient treasures, the soldiers of Allah have no scruples to make their claims, even though Egypt is in turmoil:

CAIRO (AP) — Egypt’s interior minister on Tuesday said 19 Arabs suspected of links to al-Qaida were arrested last month in Egypt en route to Iraq.
I guess the West must simply hope that Muslims will be more prepared to assimilate as they get more numerous:
World Muslim Population Grows Twice as Fast as Others
More Muslims means more terror. More Muslims means more demand for sharia…
The global number of Muslims is expected to jump 35 percent in the next 20 years, growing twice as fast as the non-Muslim population, according to a study published today. But Muslims are multiplying at a slower pace than before, and their numbers are expected to level out in the coming decades.
Mohammedans in wakademia, however, tell us to go back to sleep and not to worry about a thing:
“There’s this overwhelming assumption that Muslims are populating the Earth, and not only are they growing at this exponential rate in the Muslim world, they’re going to be dominating Europe and, soon after, the United States,” Amaney A. Jamal, an associate professor of politics at Princeton and a consultant for Pew on global Islam, told The New York Times. “But the figures don’t even come close. I’m looking at all this and wondering, Where is all the hysteria coming from?”
There is every reason to suspect that we will endure suicide missions by Islamist sleeper cells. They are already in place. They are waiting for the right time. I know this from experience.

In an interview from 2004. “CAIR’s Nihad ‘Awad Refuses to Condemn Hamas,” fromTranslating Jihad, January 24 via JW:
…which prompts angry Shitties to fire at US helicopters circling overhead:
BAGHDAD (AP) — A car bomb ripped through a funeral tent in a mainly Shiite area of Baghdad on Thursday, killing at least 41 people and prompting scuffles between police and Iraqis angry about security failures.
The blast and three other small bombings Thursday were the latest in more than a week of attacks that have killed more than 200 people, raising fears about an uptick in violence as the U.S. military prepares to withdraw from the country.
The violence has mainly targeted the majority Shiite community and Iraqi security forces, posing a major challenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his fragile coalition government that was seated last month.
They got him out, but now he’s back: A radical headbanger was captured in San Diego after he tried to sneak into the country in the trunk of a car.
He was “controversial,” you see, and the usual suspects  supported him out of fear he would be tortured by the government (of Tunisia). His case drew support from Muslim organizations and Amnesty International.
U.S. border authorities have arrested a controversial Muslim cleric who was deported from Canada to Tunisia three years ago and was caught earlier this month trying to sneak into California inside the trunk of a BMW, according to court documents.
Said Jaziri, the former Imam of a Muslim congregation in Montreal, was hidden inside a car driven by a San Diego-area man who was pulled over by U.S. Border Patrol agents near an Indian casino east of San Diego. Jaziri allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling group $5,000 to get him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a “safe place anywhere in the U.S.”
The enlightened progressives over @ ‘Harry’s Place’ know what’s happening in North Africa:
“The will of the people”
There is no sign of the Muslim Brotherhood or other Islamists playing a major role so far. Clearly this revolt is, as in Tunisia, about government repression and lack of economic opportunity.
The Muslim Brotherhood is keeping a relatively low profile because the regime is more concerned about its impact than about that of other groups. But it is unlikely that either the Brotherhood or other Islamic groups will remain quiet, especially if demonstrations continue over the next few days.
After first proclaiming (perhaps wishfully) that the Egyptian government was “stable,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke:
The disease is real. There is no cure for all  this Hopn’change.
“An earthquake has shaken the region.” Sounds more like it………
“We undoubtedly have enough problems in order to justify a revolution,” a  journalist said.  Revolution? Sure. But it won’t be a Socialist revolution by “democratic leftists”. (Source)
