Recognise the problem

Instances of Muslim-on-unbeliever violence inspire the victim school to dig up new and imaginative excuses. Colorful examples (drawing on my article and weblog entry about denying Islamist terrorism) include:

1990: “A prescription drug for … depression” (to explain the assassination of Rabbi Meir Kahane)
1991: “A robbery gone wrong” (the murder of Makin Morcos in Sydney)
1994: “Road [...]

Take them at their word

I “love” the way that my Latte sipping friends want to insist that Islam and its nutters do not want to conquer the world . Mainly because it seems to me to be a valiant imitation of the ostrich’s defensive head burying behaviour. The fact of the matter is that among the motivated believers  a [...]

An outburst of contrived indignation

If there is one thing that anyone given the task of protecting this nation from the terrorist threat can not do it is to rule out any way  that a would be terrorist could get into the country. However if you are a minion of the left the appropriate response to the quite reasonable [...]

Jihad? Jury says yes

It is a difficult ask to protect an entire country, any country, from the religious zealots who would commit mass murder in the name of their god. If you jump   too soon to arrest would be jihadists  there is every chance that there will be insufficient evidence to secure a conviction. Just the process of [...]

How do you get off the tiger, without being bitten?

When Barak Obama did his big deal of “signing Gitmo out of existence” I said that signing the executive order was easy and that the hard part would be to actaully close the facility. Well events in US politics seem to be moving towards the sort of stalemate that I envisaged as release for the [...]

They got the bastard

There are probably a few sad lefties who are going to insist that it would have been better if this scrote had been captured alive so that he could be tried for his crimes in a court of law, and then sent to enjoy the rest of his life in a cushy jail cell.  Where [...]

With obsequious sincerity

Well this looks like a win for the good guys and I can only hope that the sentence is commensurate with the crime, but the cynic in me expects that these scum bags will enjoy a rather comfortable sojourn Her Majesty’s hotel with all of their needs and desires met with obsequious sincerity that is [...]

Some people and their faiths

I have been watching, with some interest, the way that the latest terrorist cell arrests have been unfolding and especially the reactions to those arrests from the usual suspects. Many on the left seem to be in total denial that there is even a problem or that the problem has its genesis in the faith [...]

They are still here….

This looks very much like a “good save” by our police and security services and even though the target was our military personal (generally considered “legitimate targets” in a war) I wonder just how many of our latte sipping friends will insist that the sort of atrocity that it is alleged that these conspirators were [...]

Apologists for evil

Its Pat Condell telling the truth that will upset the lefties , but then the truth hurts them SO much….
and I found this rather silly response  from a rather foul mouthed lefty who epitomises the points being made by Pat:

They’re Back…

We all know that the same crowd who brought us the Bali bombings have not been defeated so it was sadly hardly surprising that they have been able commit another atrocity in Indonesia.
Now you see him now you don’t:

There is no need for me to go into a long rant about the horror of this [...]

Reality has won at Club Gitmo.

Well when I heard about Obama’s decision to close down Club Gitmo I was rather keen to point out that a stroke of the pen was easy but , as Capitan Picard would say “making it so” would be somewhat harder. Now it seems that liberal principles have gone head to head with reality and,praise [...]

I suppose the situation in northern Pakistan would qualify

My friends from the left are, I am sure, very much inclined to blame the Pakistan government for the situation in northern Pakistan and that in their usual manner are inclined to suggest that there surely must be a way to negotiate a way to peace in this very distressing situation for the estimated 1.2 [...]

“They have a killing problem”

Janet Albrechtsen writes a cracking piece in today’s Oz about the Jihadist problem and explains why treating them just like normal civil criminals is a very bad idea sadly far to many “progressives” just don’t seem to get it at all.

It takes a sweet but rather dim-witted Pollyanna view of the world to suppose that [...]

Some good sense about “defaming Islam”

Normally I don’t bother with Christopher Hitchens but on this occasion I thought that what he is saying makes a whole lot of sense. Here is a sample of his column from today’s OZ

For example, paragraph five “expresses its deep concern that Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism”, while [...]
