Incredible

Well, it didn't take long for The New York Times to demonstrate that their policy of not offending religious believers was a bunch of bolshevik storytelling. Yesterday's Times, in a "Critic's notebook" analysis piece on the Muhammed cartoons controversy followed policy by not using any of the "blasphemous" drawings. Instead, they again ran the "artwork" […]

Religious respect

I must confess that I'm not the least bit surprised to find that the New York Times-owned Boston Globe only calls for the public to respect religious beliefs as long as those beliefs and believers aren't Christian. Eugene Volokh points out (first link) that when the topic was Andres Serrano's famous "artwork" "Piss Christ," or […]

What's offensive?

Editor & Publisher is running an article on the controversial cartoons below and it contains this little gem from Associated Press executive editor Jill Carroll: Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor, said the news cooperative has long withheld images it deemed offensive, such as photos and video of beheadings. "We have a very longstanding policy of […]

More on the cartoons

I published 3 of the forbidden Jyllands-Posten cartoons earlier today. Since then I have read a couple of dissenting views of people I respect who argue that the publishing (and re-publishing) the cartoons is merely an effort to goad Muslims into acting on their base instincts. Hugh Hewitt likens the cartoons below to a Tom […]

Soft-selling terror ties?

Today's St. Petersburg Times has a largely superficial look at bloggers who closely watch American Muslims and mosques for terror ties. I must confess that of the bloggers mentioned in the story, only Robert Spencer, author and proprietor of JihadWatch.com, was a familiar name to me. The article is mainly a "he said, she said" […]

English-language learners

It seems that even in Great Britain the school system is failing those who want to learn the English language, but very good at teaching political correctness. NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff. Workers in the benefits department at Dudley Council, West […]

Backward Islam

This is old news, you might have seen it before, but amid the homebuying frenzy Muslims in America are sometimes left out. Why? Because Islam forbids paying interest. Of course, that's nothing American ingenuity can't solve, so banks have come up with "Islamic mortgages." This allows Muslims to buy homes without paying interest. What it […]

Oh, they don't mean it literally

Thanks to actor/reporter Sean Penn, I'm relieved to discover that the radical Muslim ruling minority in Iran isn't really serious about that "Death to America" thing. But he told a film student during a visit to Iran's Film Museum in Tehran on Monday that the "Death to America" slogan chanted each week at Friday Prayers […]

You've got to be kidding

A report released Friday on "abuse" of the Koran at Guantanamo Bay reveals that Muslim prisoners have abused the "holy" book three times more often than the infidel guards. Color me unimpressed with all of the brouhaha over the Cuban "gulag" and the outrage over the treatment of the Muslim "holy" book. Compare the treatment […]
