It’s a great place over there, isn’t it? In Saudi Arabia, they just beheaded three gay guys for ‘sodomy’ and ‘gay marriage,’ the first modern martyrs for equal marriage rights I’ve heard of. In Jordan, the Jordanian press association is disciplining one of its members for daring to interview hyper-dove Shimon Peres, thus violating a ban on interviews with Israelis. I wonder what they’d do with a gay journalist? Thank God for America.
BIG HARVARD BABIES: Kudos to Salon for taking on these pampered poseurs.
FIFTH COLUMN WATCH:Here’s an 18-year old Muslim Scot from Dundee in a recent issue of The Scotsman:
“Britain is an evil regime and it is corrupt. The idea of democracy goes against everything that Muslims should believe. Democracy is a man-made construct. Instead, everyone should live their life by the teachings of Allah. You ask me to follow Tony Blair, a man, or to follow Allah, our divine teacher? There is no contest. We believe that it is the obligation of every Muslim to fight to create an Islamic state that is based on the Koran… Every single Muslim should have a love of Jihad. They should want to go out on a Jihad. Every single Muslim should have these feelings. It would not bother me to shoot a British soldier in the least. Why should it?”
Charming, huh? The position of the moderate British Muslims is expressed by one Haq Ghani, Scottish president of the UK Islamic Mission:
“No one can condone what [shoe-bomber] Richard Reid tried to do. But anyone with a brain can see what created him and drove him to it. What Richard Reid did is not an act of terrorism – it is an act of frustration. Many young and old Muslims are frustrated by the way their faith is being targeted by George Bush and Tony Blair. Unless they address the root cause of what is creating people who are willing to kill innocent civilians then more acts like this will happen.”
Here’s my suggestion for a root cause: Islamo-fascism.
LETTERS: Pat and Adolf, the euro and Texas, cruising on the Tunisian street, Britney Spears and homosexuality, etc.
