The very erudite and always witty Mark Steyn has a column up at National Review Online about how, when it comes to the homosexual agenda, you vill not be ahlowed to ignohr zee agenda! You vill oh-bey! Of course, some people are exempt, such as Al Sharpton, referring to “Greek homos,” or Islamic leaders urging that homosexuals be … Read more
Danish free-speech advocate—and former “young Marxist”—Laars Hedegaard (AFP/Getty images)
Less than three weeks ago an Islamic assassin attempted to murder Danish journalist and free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard. After missing at point-blank range, the would-be killer and Hedegaard scuffled, after which the guy with the gun ran away.
The reaction of the Scandinavian mainstream media is interesting. It included denouncing Hedegaard and wishing the assassin had been better with a pistol. Here’s some of what Hedegaard has to say about the incident and its aftermath, from today’s Wall Street Journal:
Senator Paul speaks to the issue of Radical Islam and American engagement; No to isolationism, no to neoconservatism, yes to containment. He’s spot on though I’d be interested in hearing his opinion about the costs Reagan embraced to expand the military as part of the Reagan foreign policy he otherwise seems to approve of in … Read more
Tesha has a habit of saying things in such a way that I’d be censoring her a lot: “The Catholic Church in a powerful force in Maine so when the men in dresses who f*** little altar boys told their parishoners[sic] that gay marriage was wrong and a sin, the rubes in the pews believed … Read more
From my friend (and loyal reader) out in Chicago Dayton, Ohio land:
Skip – I realize things get a little fast and loose, but this has been bothering me. Both the Benghazi incident, and the movie theater shooting in Colorado were acts-of-terror.What makes Benghazi a terrorist act was that is was planned out by a group of people.
To compare the two incidents shows a poor grasp of what actually happened.
“Let me get this straight. We’re supposed to show tolerance and respect for a religion that doesn’t know the meaning of either word and goes out of its way to prove it every day?”
“All week we’ve heard Muslims telling us that we in the West need to understand how important the prophet is to them. We do understand, and we don’t care… we don’t give a damn about your feelings. Our feelings are more important, and our feelings tell us that we’re sick to the back teeth of hearing about your religion, so stick a sock in it.”
Respect is earned in the West – not demanded. It is also a two way street – when Muslims think it is one way only and that our Rights are something to be sacrificed on your Alter of an Honor-Society. Of COURSE there are Dhimmis in the West that will bow so low that you Islamists might think they are showing respect. Or, at least the Dhimmis think they are showing something akin to “respect”. You Islamists know better – their Neville Chamberlin show-alikeis merely a mask of something more dangerous to us: fear. You smell weakness in our elected American leaders, Barry and Hillary – you’re smiling as half of your work is already accomplished. That commercial that the State Department ran in Pakistan of President Obama and Sec. of State Hillary prostrating themselves over an American exercising their First Amendment Right was not just a waste of $70K of taxpayers monies, they merely showed us how partisan they are – and not on the side of the traditional American way of life. Free Speech means being able to say what we want, when we want, where we want, and about what we want – and whether it offends you or not.
And they are embarrassed about it. And that is the saddest thing of all.
…and the bloodied wall in Benghazi. The wall was apparently smeared with blood when an American clutched at it as he was being dragged out to be murdered. The Obama Flag.
What do you say about a Government that care more about its image, more about its power, and more about re-election than doing what it is supposed to be doing? I don’t often put up entire posts – but this one deserves to be read in it entirety – Glen Reynolds aka “Mr. Instapundit” aka The BlogFaddah” (emphasis mine):
WHY BARACK OBAMA SHOULD RESIGN. Just for the record, this is what it looked like for a man who made a film that made the Obama Administration uncomfortable:
Here’s the key bit: “Just after midnight Saturday morning, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Muslim world.”
When taking office, the President does not swear to create jobs. He does not swear to “grow the economy.” He does not swear to institute “fairness.” The only oath the President takes is this one:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
The news du jour is that the phenomenon of the Islamic Rage Boy has returned. Once again, we see that the “Religion of Peace” is really the Religion-that-can’t-keep-itself-in-check. The Atlantic Wire (via InstaPundit) has a map it is updating – here is the latest:
If you can’t keep track of all the Muslim protests erupting across the globe, you’re not alone. The uproar over a 14-minute anti-Islam YouTube video has sparked furious protests from Somalia to Egypt to Sudan to Tunisia to Libya to Bangladesh to Indonesia to Pakistan. With new reports of protests surfacing every minute, we’ve compiled the latest reported incidents into this handy interactive Google Map. Click the locations and embedded links for more details about each incident.
And remember, Obama said he could solve this problem: “The Day I’m Inaugurated Muslim Hostility Will Ease”:
Today White House Press Secretary Jay Carney declared that the embassy protests, firebombs, assassinations and all out mayhem is in response to a video and not at all “… directed at the United States, writ large, or at U.S. policy.” (h/t mediate)
“This is a fairly volatile situation, and it is in response not to U.S. policy, not to, obviously, the administration, not to the American people. It is in response to a video – a film – that we have judged to be reprehensive and disgusting.”
“Gay” leftists think Chick-fil-A is a greater danger to their agenda than Islam, which publicly executes homosexuals. If hating America and hating Christians is at the top of your agenda, it makes perfect sense….
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)….
