Syed Maaz Shah was sentenced to 6 and a half years in prison Friday after a Houston federal jury convicted Shah in May of two counts of unlawfully possessing a firearm while in the country on a student visa. Born in Pakistan, Shah, 20, was on full scholarship at University of Texas at Dallas last…

Newt Gingrich and WW IV
Gingrich has a long and fascinating post entitled "What If? An Alternative History of the War since 9/11" up on his web site. I recommend reading through the entire thing as it is very good and consolidates several important ideas into a coherent vision of the Islamic problem facing the U.S. and the rest of…
Islamic Apostates Unite
In Holland, a group of brave young former Muslims has taken a stand – dare I say declared a jihad? – against the de rigueur of Islamic intolerance. The Committee for Ex-Muslims promises to campaign for freedom of religion but has already upset the Islamic and political Establishments for stirring tensions among the million-strong Muslim…
More Afghan Kidnappings to Come
Reuters says: Afghanistan’s Taliban plan to abduct and kill more nationals from foreign countries whose troops serve under NATO and the U.S. military in the country, a spokesman for the Islamic movement warned on Monday. The vow comes just days after the Taliban released 19 South Korean hostages after their government struck a deal that…
Buckley: No More Unassimilable Muslims
Writing about the problem of assimilating illegal immigrants earlier this year I said: …this is exactly what assimilation demands – the cutting of ties with the former mother country and the leaving behind of other loyalties. Immigrants who come to this country and then actively seek to change the laws, values, and norms of their…
Censoring Satire
It seems the Washington Post and a large number of other mainstream U.S. newspapers will refuse to run the next two Sunday’s worth of Berkely Breathed’s Opus cartoon strip. Why? Judge for yourself: Pretty mild. And mildly funny. Certainly not worth censoring, voluntarily or otherwise. There are times when it can be embarrassing to be…
Going Down for Drugs
What won’t those daffy drug dealers do to disseminate their deadly produce? In Texas they dig tunnels hundreds of feet long so as to bypass border security. Now the Houston Chronicle reports they’ll even build their own pseudo-submarines like this one: The Chronicle says: The drug cartels are taking trafficking to new depths. The latest…
Multiculturalism in Education
School is about to start in Texas and all over the state children and teenagers are alternately awaiting and dreading the beginning of another 180-odd days of enlightenment that will be delivered by the finest teachers a sub-standard pay rate, a regressive labor union, and a back-end loaded retirement system can deliver (along with more…
Real Hate Crime
Is there any crime more heinous than radical Muslims’ hatred of women? I doubt that Banaz Mahmod would think so – if she were still alive. 20 years old, beautiful, the victim of a deplorable arranged marriage, and a woman in love with the wrong man, Banaz was raped repeatedly by two Muslim men, one her…
Allen West on Liberalism and Islam
Atlas Shrugs posted a brilliant column written by Allen West, a Lt. Colonel running for Congress in Florida. An excerpt: If Liberals admit there is a problem, they could be called upon to act. Liberals are blinded by the fear of action. They rest their hope upon the “reason” and “benevolence” of an enemy, an…
