Dutch Muslims Offer to Guard Coptic Churches
Sounds like putting the wolf in charge of the henhouse to me. (Al-Arabiya) — Dutch Muslims on Tuesday offered to guard three Coptic churches in the Netherlands which have been threatened on an Al-Qaeda-linked website after a New Year’s Day bombing killed 21 Coptic Christians in Egypt. The Dutch Muslim Council, the Council of Moroccan Mosques in the Netherlands and the Federation of Islamic Organizations “offer protection” to three Dutch Coptic churches which were among 50...

Iran Media: Massacre at Christian Church in Egypt Was.Mossad Plot; No Muslim Could Do Something So Inhumane
Get this:  the massacre of 21 Christians in Egypt on New Years Day was not an example of Islamists killing Christians.  The massacre was actually carried out by Israeli intelligence, or so says the Iranian media.  Iranian television even quotes spokesman from Hizbullah,  the Terrorist group,  as saying that no Muslim could be behind this attack because no Muslim could do something “so inhumane.” That certainly clears things up,  doesn’t it? Th...

Police link Islamic Terror Group, al-Shabaab, and "Individuals" in Finland
Finnish Links to Al-Shabaab. Even still, the media doesn't get it. Look at the headline: "Finnish links." The links are not Finnish -- they are Muslim. They are Jihadi. The rest is just geography. And semantics, of course. These are different divisions of the same army. "Al-Shabaab" is slaughtering in the name of the same ideology as Al-Qaeda (arabic for HQ or CENTCOM), Hezb'Allah (party of allah), Hamas, an acronym of حركة Ø

Coptic pain
In St Mark's Hospital in Alexandria, Egypt, some of those injured by a New Year's Day Bomb Attack on a Coptic church lay and hope for a recovery. Seven-year-old Clara cries out in agony at the slightest movement. Her face and legs are charred and blistered from Saturday's blast, which killed at least 21 people and injured dozens more in Alexandria, on Egypt's north coast. In the neighbouring bed her mother weeps silently as she witnesses her daughter's pain. Her legs t...

Anti-Christian drumbeat loud before Egypt attack
CAIRO (AP) — In the weeks before the New Year’s Day Suicide bombing of an Egyptian church, al-Qaida-linked websites were carrying a how-to manual on “destroying the cross,” complete with videos on how to build a bomb and the locations of churches to target — including the one that was attacked. They may have found a receptive audience in Alexandria, where increasingly radicalized Islamic hard-liners have been holding weekly anti-Christian demonstrations, filled with...

Egypt church blast death toll rises to 23
Cairo | Tue Jan 4, 2011 7:50am EST Cairo (Reuters) - The death toll from a New Year's Day bombing outside a church in the Egyptian city of Alexandria has risen by two to 23, the official news agency MENA reported on Tuesday.

Egypt faces strife after church bombing
CAIRO, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- The New Year's Day Suicide bombing of a Coptic church in Egypt, possibly carried out by Islamic Extremists linked to al-Qaida, threaten to destabilize the Arab World's most populous nation as it grapples with a contentious leadership succession crisis.

As Copts clashed with poli...

Rep.-Elect Meehan Gets On Board With Rep. Peter King's Muslim Investigations
During Rep. Peter King's (R-NY) appearance on The O'Reilly Factor last night, the well-known anti-Muslim congressman defended his plans to hold hearings on "the Radicalization of the American Muslim community." "There is a real issue," King told host Bill O'Reilly. "Al Qaeda has realized it's very difficult for them to come in from the outside. What they are doing is recruiting Muslims in this country or under the radar screen." He ticked off a few examples of Terrorism that occurred over the la...

Mayor Bloombergs Office Spearheaded Drive for Ground Zero Mosque, New Docs Show
In July 2010, Mayor Bloomberg outrageously told reporters it was “un-American” to investigate the individuals behind the Ground Zero Mosque. Now we know why he wanted no one to look into the Controversy. Judicial Watch just obtained a new batch of documents from New York City Mayor Bloomberg’s office that show his office was instrumental in helping radical anti-American Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, his wife Daisy Khan and their partner Sharif el-Gamal obtain approval for a 13-s

Prominent Editor in Egypt: 'I Accuse!'
On January 1, 2011, a hugely important terror attack took place in Egypt that you probably were not told about. A Terrorist bomb went off at the al-Qiddissin (Saints) Church in Alexandria, Egypt, killing innocent civilians in the usual ruthless and blood-thirsty manner. The Western media hardly noticed, but the shockwaves rippled through the Muslim and Christian Orthodox world. The Coptic Church in Egypt traces its origins back to the Apostle Mark in A.D. 42. It is one of the earliest churches w...

Afghanistan: Islamophobes open fire in mosque, killing four no, wait

Analysis: Situation only getting worse for Egypts Christians
The deadly bombing of a church in Egypt on New Year’s Day is just the latest example of persecution of the country’s minority Christians, a situation that has grown worse in the past few years and shows no signs of abating soon. Copts, the country’s largest Christian group, held Protests across Egypt on Sunday and again on Monday aimed at a government it says has refused to deal with the violence directed at Christians. “No one in Egypt or outside the country should be su...

ACLU's 'Official History' Omits Stalinist Heritage
Hmmm..., that ACLU "official" history that describes its founders as a "small group of idealists" who began the organization amid the "Palmer Raids" of late 1919 and early 1920 against "so-called radicals" is a bit more than simply misleading. Turns out that "small group of idealists" are the ones that are the "radicals" ... as evidenced by declassified letters and other documents in the Soviet Comintern archives unearthed by Noted author Paul Kengor - linking early leaders of the ACLU with the...

Barack Obama: recruiter-in-chief
Fresh off Lame Duck 'victories' forcing Openly Gay Military service, approval of a flawed missile treaty with the Russians, and the addition of $1 Trillion (*) to the Debt thanks to way the Bush Tax Cuts were extended, our 'President' now seeks a confrontation with Congress over closing Guantánamo Bay detention camp (Gitmo).   Essentially, as with most everything, this President is willing to play politics, even if it means putting American lives at risk, both Military and civilian. &#...

Oops: Russians Say START Treaty Covers Antimissile Defense Systems
They told us the START Treaty couldn't wait - it had ot be signed in the Lame Duck session. And the Obama Administration insisted that passing the START Treaty would not impact the US antimissile defense systems. Turns out, Obama and other proponents of the treaty were dead wrong ... the Russian Parliament announced this week that the START Treaty includes limitations on the US antimissile defense systems. [...] The Russian lawmakers insist that all the chapters of the treaty including the pream...

Winter, a former player with Ajax and Inter Milan, says in an interview with Dutch daily De Telegraaf that he planned to fly to Canada on Monday to sign with the Major League Soccer club.

EGYPT: "stability & succession"
Oxford Analytica/ Excerpts: "... Some news agencies have reported that an al-Qaida-linked group called Markaz al-Mujahideen has claimed responsibility for the attack. The bombing follows calls by al-Qaida affiliates in Iraq for attacks on Christians, and has caused a sharp escalation of the sectarian problem in Egypt. ... The January 1 bombing represents a dual challenge for the government. The possibility of al-Qaida inspiration or even involvement in ...

Al Qaeda may offer young Americans a deal they can't refuse
Officials warn that terror threats are increasingly coming not from beyond U.S. borders but from within. Terrorism experts have offered a number of reasons to explain the relatively new phenomena of U.S. citizens turning on their own country. Some common explanations include anger over government policy for many Muslim nations, they believe that Islam is under attack. Some experts suggest that Americans may join for a sense of belonging or are searching for a cause larger than themselves. Could ...

Right Wing Blog: Fox News Didn't Narc On 'Terror Grandma,' We Did!
A right-wing blog that tracks networks of Islamic Extremists online says it was them, not Fox News, that brought a video of a woman the network later labeled "Terror Grandma" to the attention of authorities. "FOX did not drop the dime, we did," writes blogger Howie on the Jawa Report. "Given the quick death of the video and its nature, which Ill elaborate on more later, we sent it along through the proper channels. Just to be sure." TPM was unable to independently verify Howie's claims. "Would...

Islamic Takeover of Ivory Coast Imminent
We are witnessing an Islamic takeover of the Ivory Coast. And the French (and the UN, US, and Europe) are helping them. Sick. The reportage on the Ivory Coast election is biased and Islamophliac. Centurion has a good report here: The Ivory Coast joins the ummah. What this article and others like it don’t tell you is that we are witnessing one of those watershed moments in history: Ivory Coast is about to toggle from a (mostly) Christian country to a Muslim country. The winner of the electio...

Now That's Hucked Up
A new edition of Huckleberry Finn is about to be released. This scrubbed version will have no instances of the "N" word, and the word "Injun" is also replaced throughout Twain's novel. Twain expert Alan Gribben insists he is not trying to censor classic literature, but to update. Epic fail. Classic literature does not need to be updated, that is what makes it classic. Let's look at some of our classics. To Kill A Mockingbird shows us an ugly time in the South, and a glimpse of how rural life rea...
