I hope everyone had a Happy New Year. Here’s a roundup from the world of Jihad, where things aren’t nearly so happy:
- Salman Rushdie explains the Islamist threat:
One of the things that liberal opinion in the West doesn’t understand is that there actually is an enemy. There actually is an enemy that means us harm. And they’re not just going to go away if you’re nice to them.
- Prosecutor gives plea bargain deal to a man who murdered his own daughter in Arizona so as to ensure “there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs.” You’re doing it wrong.
- Police in the UK are monitoring roughly 500 jihadists at any given time.
- Muslim cocaine dealer outraged at Nebraska prisons serving him pork.
- She’s baaaaack…
- I think I’m going to have to add Creeping Sharia to the blog roll. Lots of good information there.
- “While WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is celebrating his $1 million-plus book deal on a 600-acre estate and enjoying his status as a lefty fringe hero, former cartoonist Molly Norris is in hiding.”
- To prove you’re a moderate and that the Ground Zero Mosque will not represent a threat, do you: C.) Kick off your speaking tour in front of a Hamas-linked font group?
- Jihadis attending CPAC? Having attended CPAC way back in the dim mists of time, I doubt there is terribly much damage they can do, assuming they don’t detonate a bomb…
- Newly elected Florida congressman Allen West appointed to the House Armed Services Committee. “If truth has become hate speech, then you might as well lock me up, because I’m not shutting up.”
- Coptic Pope Shenouda may cancel Christmas over Islamist threats. No word on whether Shenouda was born in Arizona or lives in a condo made of ston-a.
- In related news, there have been over over 150 Copts targeted for attack.
- Then again, Egyptians are crazy.
