Bostom: To Kill an "Apostate" (or Homosexual)
Now that the issue of Sharia mandated killing of apostates and homosexuals is finally being raised (after Sharia was enshrined in the constitutions of both Iraq and Afghanistan) Andy Bostom has a terrific and timely piece at Front Page:
This past week has provided two glaring examples ...Read More...

Derbyshire must read
John Derbyshire has an excellent reply to Rich Lowry's wild front page story all about us "To Hell With Them Hawks," at NRO:
My first reaction after reading Rich’s piece was actually, I am sorry to say, a quip:
Q: What’s the difference between a Lowrian “Let’s ...Read More...

Polygamy: The Un-whitewashed Truth
If, like me, you've been trying to wash the bad taste of "Big Love" out of your mouth all week, I have the perfect antidote for you. The website is Hope for the Child Brides run by a Elaine Tyler in St. George, Utah. It is set up a little like Jihad Watch in that it takes ...Read More...

Why not Polygamy?
NY Times columnist John Tierney has gone over the edge with his latest piece in support of polygamy.
He says, "..the question that comes to mind is not how to keep polygamy illegal. The question is why bother to ban something that takes so much work these days?"
"Polygamy ...Read More...

Big Love and other horrors
I watched the pilot program of HBO's "Big Love" yesterday. I'm happy to report that at least in my mind, it fails on all counts.
1) It purports to show a polygamy in an understanding light while completely failing to grasp the religious motivation behind such aberrant behavior. ...Read More...

All bark and no bite
Rich Lowry’s vast ignorance of Islam, not to mention the history of Iraq, is once again on display in this new cover story for National Review. He labels those who disagree with the President’s stay the course approach in Iraq as “to hell with them” hawks. It sounds ...Read More...

Derbyshire: You don't know Jack
John has a fantastic column over at NRO this morning:
(...)The issue here is: What do we know about Iraq? About the people, their desires, their prospects, their capabilities? I have got into trouble with some readers, and even some colleagues, for aligning myself with George Will and Bill Buckley ...Read More...

Pappas: Bigotry Baiting
Jason Pappas has a very good post on the current political climate.
Bigotry is obviously wrong but so is bigotry-baiting. What is bigotry-baiting? Like race-baiting, it is a form of manipulation. Race-baiting relies on the inflammation of passions relating to racial prejudice—generally ...Read More...

De Winter: Soft Europe

Attacks on Wafa Sultan
Andy Bostom blogged that Wafa Sultan is what a real Arab reformer should sound like. MEMRI is reporting on her payback for being so open-minded. Once labeled a heretic or infidel, Islam prescibes death as the remedy.
Following the release of this clip, Bassam Darwish, editor of ...Read More...

Re: Iraq
Reading John's post on Iraq I was reminded of the study by military explaining the new "long war" concept:
Although it is similar to the Cold War, the war on terror has a distinction. "We cannot discredit all of Islam as we did with communism," the ...Read More...

Bruno: Defeating Defeatism - The End of the Phony War
Wolfgang Bruno writes:
I have stated before that we in the West need to face down our internal enemies, the twin trolls of Denial and Defeatism, before we can have any chance of dealing with Islam. Yes, the Islamic threat is very real and could lead to a cataclysmic world war unless stopped. No, ...Read More...

Noonan on Embarrassing the Angels

Graffiti
Yesterday, I was called a racist for objecting to Mexican graffiti. I hate graffiti. I loathe graffiti. Graffiti is a direct assault and affront to the fading establishment we are trying so desperately to revive. It is an expression of scorn and to view it as anything else, another ...Read More...

"that's above my paygrade"
"That's above my paygrade" is a term one hears constantly from Republican politicians and Bushies in particular. I even heard John Ashcroft say it the other night and cringed.What is that person saying? I think he means to say, "I'm not qualified to speak to the issue," ...Read More...

More conference
Anyone who knows anything about the rules of warfare knows that the first thing to do once war breaks out is to secure one's own position. Since this is a war by civilians on civilians, we must be prepared to defend our civilian population by whatever means necessary. I just came from the last session ...Read More...
