Another week, another batch of news from the world of Jihad:
- The “fierce moral urgency” of closing Guantanamo Bay seems to have abated recently. (I can’t possibly imagine why.) But it’s a good thing considering that some 150 people release from Gitmo have returned to Jihad.
- Orthodox church destroyed in 9/11 tired of wondering when they’re going to get the greenlight to rebuild and files suit against NYC.
- Old and Busted: Hamas wanting to kill all the Jews. The New Hotness: Hamas wanting to kill all the Jews. And all the Christians. And all the…Communists? But then who will support our nation’s vital Che T-shirt industry?
Not these Che shirts. If you can't put up funny pictures of your friends on the pretext that its vaguely related to the topic at hand, what's the point of having a blog?
- And Hamas’ masters in Tehran aren’t too wild about Bahai, either. (That’s a Michael Totten piece, and as usual, it’s long, thoughtful, and full of interesting tidbits.)
- “Appreciating and respecting the Quran should not be done by eating its verses.” Especially in cake form.
- Convicted felon caught buying body armor. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence his name is Waheed Islam.
- When U.S. troops liberated Baghdad in 2003, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t so the next government could impose Sharia-inspired prohibition there.

I’d be interested to find out how many of those 150 weren’t actually recidivists but were merely radicalized by their incarceration at Gitmo.
