Nothing more needs to be said. (H/T: Troglopundit)
However, it has been necessary to make cultural adjustments, especially in the case of blind Muslim women who need seeing eye dogs. Here’s a recent picture of one such helper dog, which has been fitted with a special garment to make it culturally acceptable….

Ahem. This from MailOnline.com: It is reported that under the new Egyptian Parliament, “[H]usbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives – for up to six hours after their death. The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament. It will also … Read more
My friend Ed Naile, blogger at NH Insider, and Chairman of the Coalition of New Hampshire Taxpayers, in a recent blog post titled I’ve Been Working On My Own Middle East Policy!, posits a solution to the problem of Muslim extremist attacks on Americans wherever they may be.
If we are going to deal with Islamists on a regular basis like we have since 1805 or so, maybe we should use some tactics that may be more on their level of understanding, like Thomas Jefferson did.
If by accident or by mistake some Korans get burned and it results in week long riots and murder of Americans, then apologize like hell about the Korans.
And when it comes to Islamic terrorists killing Americans WE should go nuts.
How about some huge marches on American cities objecting to any slight against an American? (Photo shop the marches, they will never figure it out.)
Open up some silos, arm some fighter jets, float a battleship up next to some coveted object, bomb some power plants, harbors, refineries, dams, or other modern structures real Islamists don’t really need in the first place.
Why don’t you follow up on your threat, show up here like a man, and after I have turned your head into a canoe, you can tell me whether or not I’m "real"? I think this is what she had in mind….
Seems that Ann Barnhardt has a problem with the institutionalized misogyny and slavery of Islamofascism. Doesn’t like it much at all, and she lets everyone know it on her extraordinary blog. So a jihadist has emailed and threatened to kill her. Is she scared? See for yourself in the following exchange between her and the idiot threatening her (and yes, that’s her hand, her crucifix, and her pink M-4 in the picture immediately below)….
Islam:the religious faith of Muslims including belief in Allah as the sole deity and in Muhammad as his prophet; the religious faith of Muslims including belief in Allah as the sole deity and in Muhammad as his prophet (Mirriam-Webster) Phobia: a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a … Read more
Often, the claim is made that Islamofacists hate us because we are occupying their land – and neo-isolationists would have us believe that if we simply pulled out of Islamic countries (among others), peace and kumbaya would break out, and we could all just break bread together instead of heads and other body parts.

From across the fruited plain come the hues and cries yet again declaring, “racism and bigotry!” Isn’t free speech a real gem?
A former New York State prison official gave testimony Wednesday at a second Homeland Security hearing in Washington asserting that radical Islam is making in-rows into the American penal system. In a report by Fox News, A New York prisons official testified that radical Muslims have made “sustained efforts” to indoctrinate inmates in America, at a second hearing on Islamic radicalization held by Rep. Peter King.
And as with King’s first hearings held on back in March, Wednesday’s hearing was just as fraught with cacophonous protests and cries of racism. Representative Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi and ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, says, “The threat of terrorism from U.S. converts in prison is ‘small.'” Enter Laura Richardson, a liberal, Kool-Aid drinking Democrat from California who suggested the hearing was “racist,” further asking why Muslims in prisons are being targeted as opposed to other religious or ethnic minorities,” reports Fox News.
An imam who works as a chaplain in a county jail on Long Island was one such protestor of the King Homeland Security hearing. says this imam, “I have seen no evidence of terrorist recruitment at the jail.” Yet this “peace-loving” imam goes on to tell Fox News, “If we found anyone in our community committing an act of terrorism, by the time the police got there the matter would be settled and there would be one less terrorist,” can you feel the brotherly love?
So, what did the cops all have to say?
Patrick Dunleavy, a retired corrections official in New York told the committee that radical Muslims have been trying to convert U.S. inmates to their cause for decades. “Despite appearances, prison walls are porous. Individuals and groups that subscribe to radical Islamic ideology have made sustained efforts to target inmates for indoctrination.”
Former California federal prosecutor Kevin Smith cited the cases of Kevin James and Levar Washington, who both plead guilty in 2007 to “conspiracy to levy war against the United States through terrorism.”
Smith characterized the actions of both men as a “seditious conspiracy” hatched inside California’s prison system.
Top Los Angeles Police Department official Michael Downing, described the radical Islamic conversions as a “phenomena of low volume,” but holds “high consequence” considering the sheer size of the U.S. prison population. “We do have a problem,” he said. “Prisons are communities at risk.”
Null. Frankly, it will never happen, as Hamas (stemming from the Muslim Brotherhood) has in its charter that their purpose is to wipe Israel off the map. And even if Fatah is seen as the more "moderate" (akin to comparing a panther to a tiger), when the head of Fatah / Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas … Read more
Investigative reporter Erick Stakelbeck, host of the network program “Stakelbeck on Terror,” has written a book everyone needs to pay attention to. It’s called “The Terrorist Next Door, ‘How the government is deceiving you about the Islamist threat.”
The news of Bin Laden’s demise was barely minutes old before the politicizing began in earnest. In the hours that followed, Barbara Walters on the view retorts, “I would hate now to be a Republican candidate thinking of running,” Like this somehow cancels out the high gas prices, the economy being in the toilet and … Read more
Well, last nite, I watched Facebook and the news feeds on TV. One of the sights brought in was that folks gathering in the park opposite the White House chanting USA and singing the National Anthem.
Chris Crawford, a student down in DC (and Chair of the New Hampshire Conservative Futures PAC), sent this following guest post via Facebook to let others know what it was like to be down there last nite:
Live from DC – Jubilation
by Chris CrawfordWhen I got out of 10:00 mass at St. Stephen’s Parish in Washington, D.C., I had a text message from Melissa Fernandez.
It read, “The president it [sic] making an emergency speech right now….They say it’s going to be really dramatic.”
Vince Nordin, who came with me to Mass for the first time this year, said, “It’s probably nothing.”
Naturally, I panicked. I thought, “What could be this important? Was there an attack or a disease outbreak that no one in the press had known about? What if there’s a meteor on its way toward us?”
I thought aloud to Vince and he said, again, “No, seriously, it’s nothing. Relax.”
We rushed into Madison Hall and ran out of the elevator. Vince had to pee, but I was just really excited. I burst through the door and looked at the TV. I saw Wolf Blitzer’s face and the bottom line that said, “OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD”.
My heart pounded. I looked at the rest of the room and let out a yell for joy. Tyler McAfee called me and we went crazy on the phone.
Friends from our floor crowded into the room and waited for Obama’s speech. Ed Hendry appeared outside the White House and said, “There is a crowd forming outside. There are about 30 or 40 people. They are chanting “U-S-A and singing The National Anthem.” Little did he know, the crowd would grow to thousands within just a couple of hours.
Next, Wolf Blitzer appeared and said that the president would not be speaking for another 20 minutes. I played “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” by Toby Keith and shortly thereafter I went to grab my sweater off of the door. It’s a bright red, white, and blue sweater with elephants on it that Uncle Michael had given me for my birthday last year. I also tossed the white cowboy hat that I had gotten at CPAC earlier this year. Then we made the decision to watch the speech later, and go celebrate now.
We met outside Madison and began walking quickly down 22nd Street toward the White House. There were dozens of people in the street cheering, and there were cars honking in the streets in the distance. As we got closer to the White House, we broke into a jog –and then an all-out run, toward Lafayette Square. There were hundreds of people already there, and the crowd was growing. On our way into the crowd, people spotted my sweater and my white Cowboy hat and were high-fiving me. Some people took pictures.
A “U-S-A” chant was breaking out as we joined hundreds…
Update: Obama just announced OBL died in a fire fight – I guess NOT a bomb. Good – makes it more personal.
As La Costra Nostra members might put it – he sleeps with the fishies. Imagine his face when he realizes there ARE no virgins waiting for him!
Started off as an alert at 10:30 that The One was going to interrupt The Donald’s decision on The Apprentice – many thinking this was a political tactic. Switched over to Fox – who knew Geraldo was going to be Da Guy to announce it?
What I know so far – OBL killed a week ago in a mansion in Pakistan by a US bomb. It has been confirmed by DNA analysis – the US has sole possession of the body.
Thanks to the men and women of our military and intelligence to find him, verify it was him, and then to carry out the mission. Can you imagine HOW MANY people had to keep their mouths shut during this past week? May those that have given much and those giving all to have this news rest easy – Mission Accomplished!
I will also say this: thank you to both President Bush and President Obama for keeping up the pressure and the hunt.

This from CBN.com:
Political Correctness will be one of the leading causes of the death of Western Liberal Philosophy and the civilization on which it is built. I read this and saw – for all of the West’s military might, a word might bring it down. Why?
It seems that anyone, at any time, can accuse of offense. Whether it makes sense or not, we seem to be devolving to where the decision of "offense" is no longer made by society but strictly by the minority – and in this case, a minority of one. The purpose of identity politics is not to ensure that the rights of a minority are protected. In effect, it is a tool with which to wage war by which the minority can hijack the rights of the majority.
From Powerline: It sounds like parody, but this story from Spain is evidently true:
The parents of a Muslim boy who attends a secondary school in La Línea, Cádiz province, have reported their son’s teacher for an incident in the boy’s geography class which the child said caused him offence as a Muslim.
The teacher, José Reyes Fernández, with more than 20 years in the profession, was explaining to the class how the cold climate in Trevélez, Granada province, aided in the curing of the village’s most famous local product, jamón serrano. The boy told his teacher that hearing the word ‘ham’ in class was offensive to him because of his religion and asked his geography teacher to stop referring to the product which caused him offence.
El Mundo newspaper reports that the boy’s parents then reported the teacher to both the National Police and to the courts. They placed a denuncia against the teacher for psychological ill-treatment in the context of xenophobia and racism.
One assumes that the boy and his parents had help from the Spanish equivalent of CAIR in pushing his "xenophobia" complaint. It is a great illustration of the effort to create a little bubble of walking sharia around each Muslim that we also see in the U.S.
On one level,…
