Some easily offended members of the religion of pieces have discovered that Wikipedia's entry for the founder of their religion, Muhammad, includes historical artwork depicting him. This has resulted in a lot of anger and a petition, but no riots -- yet. Surprisingly, the editors at Wikipedia have demonstrated a heck of a lot more […]
The death toll may top 100 in yesterday's horrific attacks at a Baghdad pet market -- and that's not the worst of it. The worst of it is that the bombers weren't deluded and evil young men convinced that slaughtering innocents was their ticket to paradise and 72 willing virgins. Instead, the cowardly terrorists used […]
Unindicted co-conspirators the Council on American Islamic Relations issued a demand that GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain appoint a Muslim adviser to his campaign and, if elected, to his White House staff. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on presidential candidate Sen. John McCain to appoint a Muslim campaign advisor and a […]
I mentioned last week that at least 25 newspapers, including the Washington Post had declined to publish Berkeley Breathed's "Opus" cartoon these last two Sundays because of its "questionable content." The content in question being the mocking of "radical Islam." With last week's comic there was a slim possibility that some papers bowed out because […]

(For those who are interested, the Little Green Footballs discussion thread on the episode is here.) I haven't had time to watch the series, and probably won't until this weekend, but I […]
The Council on American Islamic Relations threatened to do something (what exactly they don't say) to the Young America's Foundation if they allowed Islamic scholar Robert Spencer to speak at their conference. YAF spokesman Jason Mattera responded appropriately: “CAIR can go to Hell and they can take their 72 virgins with them.” CAIR's threats may […]
In the name of understanding other religions, a Muslim visited the church of a blogger named Anwyn. Anwyn didn't let all the obfuscations, platitudes and assurances of goodwill toward others go unchallenged. So let me get this straight: Riots of thousands are the natural consequence of offensive newspaper cartoons, but a brutal murder is an […]
For those of you following the news the past week, you'll know that the Gaza Strip has turned into ground zero for the Palestinian civil war. For the record, we here at Hoystory wish to remind you that Islamic terrorists don't just hate Jews, they hate Christians too. Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small […]
