Muslims have invented two new human rights: the right not to have Islam criticized, and the right not to be offended. Judging from the way his critics have been going on, I would say that Tunku Varadarajan was on to something in his Forbes column " Going Muslim ." The reaction to his important and well-reasoned article ironically confirms and further underlines his central point; namely,...
If the Ft. Hood terrorist attack teaches us anything, it should teach us that Political Correctness will kill this country.

“The actions of Nidal Malik Hasan were not contrary to the religion of Islam, rather they are encouraged by it… “We issue this statement in support of the actions of brother Nidal Malik Hassan; as a congratulations for his brave and heroic deed, as well as the jealousness he displayed for the pains suffered by the [...]
Federal counterterrorism officials investigating the recruitment of ethnic Somalis in the U.S. for jihad in Somalia say the case echoes the type of homegrown radicalization that threatens parts of Europe. The U.S. announced charges against eight men this week, and agents allege three of them helped persuade men to join an extremist group. The recruiting network enlisted about 20 young men, many of...
That is the number of times suspected terrorists, those on actual watch lists, successfully bought guns or explosives in the good ole US of A over the past five years. Why? Because of the Terror Gap . That is the space in our law created by right wingers with celery-stalks-for-brain-stems, bed-wetting Blue Dogs, and neglectful progressives that allows those on watch lists to pass background checks...
You could call this pre-September 11 thinking, except that there never was a time when it would have been sane: Navy SEALs have secretly captured one of the most wanted terrorists in Iraq -- the alleged mastermind of the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA security guards in Fallujah in 2004.

A penetrating analysis on Scimitar doctrine, the Ft. Hood massacre, and Nidal Hasan by Raymond Ibrahim: One of the difficulties in discussing Islam's more troubling doctrines is that they have an anachronistic, even otherworldly, feel to them; that is, unless actively and openly upheld by Muslims, non-Muslims, particularly of the Western variety, tend to see them as abstract theory, not standard practice...
