Liberalism withholds judgment until finding an answer bulletproofed by logic and reason, and this practice is nothing less than the bedrock of the first world.
I am of course referring to classical liberalism, now tragically mistitled conservatism. The half-philosophy known as the Left co-opted that most precious word, liberty, then stopped reading at “withholds judgment.” And this anti-intellectual betrayal of humanity’s best idea has once again resulted in an unfathomably dangerous historical anomaly: an existential threat is flourishing, liberty and life are at stake, yet the ones we now call liberals refuse to pass judgment on the illiberal. They have access to enough logic and reason for a bombproof conclusion, yet they refuse to pass judgment.

There is no telling who did this at this point. It could have nothing at all to do with jihad.
So why am I posting it?
Because New York Islamic jihadist Youssef al-Khattab, who calls for genocide and has threatened others, hates Starbucks (and how very interesting that he has removed the video to which Jawa linked).
Also, jihadists in London hate Starbucks.
And Sheikh al-Qaradawi hates Starbucks.
Worth watching.
“Explosion outside UES Starbucks,” by Scott Curkin for WABC-TV, May 25 (thanks to the Jawa Report) via Raymond from JW:
NEW YORK (WABC) — An explosive device blew out the windows of a Starbucks coffee shop in a blast that rocked an Upper East Side neighborhood.The loud blast was heard at the intersection of Third Avenue and East 92nd Street just before 4 a.m.
The explosion took place on 92nd and 3rd avenue.
Police are still looking for the person who left the device outside of the Starbucks.
The time of day echoed that of a pattern of unsolved early morning blasts that have occurred outside the British Consulate, the Mexican Consulate and the Armed Forces recruiting booth in Times Square over the past two years….
“Unrest in Greece’s community of Muslim immigrants is something new, analysts say. ‘For so many years, they’ve been scared and defensive,’ said Takis Geros, a lecturer of anthropology of the Middle East at Panteion University. ‘To suddenly come out in broad daylight with their faces exposed and trash 75 cars indicates a massive change in attitude.'” More on this story.
“Muslim anger ignites violent new response,” by Iason Athanasiadis for the Washington Times, May 25:
Far-right-wing vigilantes burned a makeshift mosque in Athens over the weekend after Muslim immigrants in Athens attacked police with rocks and bottles over an incident in which a policeman reportedly defaced a Koran.Â
Although Greece has a history of political violence from radical leftists and anarchists, sectarian bloodletting represents an entirely modern phenomenon.
The latest incident began with a policeman who made an identification spot check on an immigrant from Iraq. When word spread that the policeman had ripped and stomped on the suspect’s Koran, things got ugly.
*Â Towards a Reasonable Discussion on Immigration
Chanting “God is great” and waving leather-bound copies of Islam’s holy book, about 1,000 Muslim immigrants demonstrated with a march on Parliament Friday.
When the crowd dwindled to about 300, remaining protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at police and smashing windows at a luxury hotel in central Syntagma Square, according to an account by the Associated Press.
Far-right-wing vigilantes replied over the weekend by setting fire to a Muslim prayer hall. Taken together, the incidents represent some of the worst sectarian violence witnessed in modern Greece.
A spokesman for the Greek police claimed that the policeman did not rip up a Koran, but a folded and glued sheet of paper containing unidentifiable writing in Arabic.
“The isolated and under-inquiry incident does not excuse rioting by individuals committed to damaging citizens property and seriously disturbing the citys social and economic life,” said Christos Markogiannakis, the deputy interior minister. “The state will not permit such radical behavior.”
Unrest in Greece’s community of Muslim immigrants is something new, analysts say.
“For so many years, they’ve been scared and defensive,” said Takis Geros, a lecturer of anthropology of the Middle East at Panteion University. “To suddenly come out in broad daylight with their faces exposed and trash 75 cars indicates a massive change in attitude.”
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Muslim Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia cross into Greece illegally every year from neighboring Turkey or by sea…
* Hmm, and why would that be…?

This is the 20th boat since KRudd weakened our laws against asylum seekers last September:
A BOATLOAD of 77 suspected asylum seekers has been intercepted near Ashmore Reef off Australia’s northwest coast.
This lot, on previous government figures, will cost us $3 million to process.

Nine people have been arrested after hundreds of anti-Islamist protesters clashed with police yesterday.
The streets of Luton descended into violence after demonstrators, many hiding their faces behind balaclavas, brandished England flags and chanted at officers.
Flashback:
Riot: Demonstrators gathered in George Square in Luton town centre yesterday over the anti-war protest held against the Royal Anglian Regiment in March
A group called March for England was said to have organised the rally as a peaceful protest against Muslim extremists. They were joined by a local group United People of Luton.Â
The mob, which included teenagers and women, held banners with slogans such as ‘No Sharia Law in the UK’ and ‘Respect our Troops’.Â
Arrests: A man is detained by police officers during the riot yesterday
Some protesters wore masks with the horned face of Sayful Islam, a hardline Muslim activist in Luton who took part in an anti-war rally in March, which disrupted a homecoming parade for troops.
But chaos broke out when a crowd of around 500 ran away from police who had been escorting the protest along its route, and ran down side streets towards the town centre.
Officers on horseback and police dogs were deployed, and policemen drew batons to defend themselves.Â
Masked: A depiction of hardline, political agitator Sayful Islam
Groups of young men in balaclavas and England shirts chanted outside the city centre and one balacava-clad protester held a Rottweiler on a chain, while others clashed with police in riot gear.
One Asian man was hit across the face with a banner and left with a bloody nose.Â

Focus of hate: Sayful Islam used to be a “moderate Muslim” from Luton
The nine suspects were in custody today for offences of criminal damage, assault and public order offences, Bedfordshire Police said.
Police said during the disturbance three car windscreens were smashed and a window at a take away restaurant in Chapel Street had been broken.
Last night Luton town centre was calm as police maintained a presence on the streets.
A spokesman for United People of Luton, Wayne King, said many people in Luton were concerned and annoyed that the Muslim community in the town had not taken steps to deal with Sayful Islam’s ‘hate-filled preachings’. Â
The 24-year-old, who wore a T-shirt with the words ‘No surrender to Al-Qaeda’ on it, said: ‘We decided enough was enough after the soldiers got heckled as they marched through the town centre by the Muslim extremists.
‘Our community has been racially attacked for the last 10 years.Â
‘A mosque in the town got set on fire a few weeks ago and it made national news but churches in Luton are regularly being set fire to.
‘We want laws brought in to stop preachers of hate operating here.’Â
Looking for trouble: Protesters in Luton’s city centre yesterday stormed the streets wearing balaclavas
Luton town centre was busy at the time of the riot with shoppers enjoying the sunshine.
Many of those who joined in the march had been drinking in town centre pubs.
Catalyst: Anti-war Islamists protested during an Army march in Luton earlier this year – partly sparking yesterday’s response
Later on, overhead, a police helicopter monitored the movement of the mob which at one point appeared to be making in the direction of Bury Park, an area of Luton where many of the town’s Asian population live.
Hope’n’Change in the UK:
BRITISH National Party leader Nick Griffin is on course to win a seat in the European Parliament next month on the back of a tidal wave of public anger over MPs’ expenses.
BNP starts smelling like roses, the enemy takes notice:
Nick Griffin foresaw homegrown Islamic terrorists. He even predicted that the aftershock from a cataclysmic implosion of American capitalism would ripple through the world like a financial tsunami, spreading hardship into every corner of the globe. But never in the BNP leader’s most fevered imaginings could he have envisaged a domestic crisis of democracy so profound that it would propel his reviled fringe party to centre stage in the forthcoming local and Euro elections.
The confluence of the war on terror, the credit crunch and the public’s incandescent rage at the expenses scandal which has debased parliament has produced a perfect storm of fear and loathing that has provided fertile ground for far-right politics. The BNP will not
match Oswald Mosley’s New Party, which won 16 per cent of the vote in 1931, but with 465 candidates in the English county council elections, compared with 39 five years ago, the mainstream parties fear they will make the most significant strides in the post-war era.There’s heady talk of firsts: of returning up to six MEPs, of the party winning its first county council seats. Griffin is convinced his promised land is within sight. He knows the voters are sick of the establishment and are looking for an alternative, and no party is further removed from the mainstream than the BNP.
“In terms of voter sentiments, there has probably never been a better time for the BNP,” says the party’s leader. “The only thing that comes close is the immediate aftermath of 7/7. This is our time.”
What Griffin means is that this is his time. He’s been working towards this breakthrough since he was a spotty 15-year-old public schoolboy who was taken along to a National Front meeting by a Tory father disillusioned with the country’s leftward lurch.
French and Belgian jihadi wannabes attempt to join their brothers in glorious martyrdom. Hilarité ensues:Â
After getting ripped off in Turkey and staggering through waist-deep snow in Iran, the little band arrived in Al Qaeda’s lair in Pakistan last year, ready for a triumphant reception.
“We were expecting at least a welcome for ‘our brothers from Europe’ and a warm atmosphere of hospitality,” Walid Othmani, a 25-year-old Frenchman from Lyon, recalled during an overnight interrogation in January.Â
Instead:Â
Suspicious Al Qaeda chiefs grilled the half-dozen Belgians and French. They charged them $1,200 each for AK-47 rifles, ammunition and grenades. They made them fill out forms listing next of kin and their preference: guerrilla fighting, or suicide attacks?
Then the trainees dodged missile strikes for months. They endured disease, quarrels and boredom, huddling in cramped compounds that defied heroic images of camps full of fraternal warriors.Â
No wonder these idiots are so keen on suicide attacks. For them, it’s better than being alive.Â
“What you see in videos on the Net, we realized that was a lie,” Othmani told police.Â
You can’t believe anyone these days.  (what about the 72 virgins and the 28 boyz?)
Is Turkey running British politics now? Turkey calls, Nullabour jumps:
* The corrupt UK  government is considering referring the BNP to the police over “racist” promotional material: here’s a classical example how racial vilification laws are used to vilify,  intimidate, and muzzle native Brits over trumped up charges of  “racial and religious hatred” – what ‘race’ is Islam again?
BNP leader Nick Griffin launched his party?s European election campaign earlier this month, setting out its opposition to Turkey joining the EU
