The enemy within

"About one out of every four American Muslims under 30 think suicide bombing in defense of Islam is justified in at least some circumstances. Twenty-eight percent believe that Muslims did not carry out the 9/11 attacks and 32% declined to answer that question."

Cheery thoughts, there. 

Torture

The real stuff, the way al Q does it. Not a pretty sight. No lace women’s panties on the heads here.

Islamic immigration

Meanwhile, back at the rancho… While the pols in D.C. debate their latest immigration fix-it bill, the San Antonio Express News reports from Mexico, Central America and the Middle East that the U.S., Mexico and others are, indeed, working together to capture illegal Muslim immigrants before they cross the border. So far, with less manpower than they need, they’ve caught about 6,000. But they estimate another 20,000 to 60,000 have gotten through. Swell. Now, about those other 12 million illegals, with more coming every day…

The gang that can’t think straight

The porous CIA, the gang that can’t think straight, either is handing out secrets to their favorite reporters to make political hay, or this is a lie. Either way, it may get some Americans killed, as the outraged commenters note. ABC news, of course, couldn’t care less, so long as it can sell advertising.

UPDATE  Power Line, which I see the Left likes to call "Power Tool," thinks Bush could have had this "leak" made on purpose, for his own reasons, but Republican prez candidate Romney is incensed.

Burying the good news

Another week, another transfer of a province’s security to Iraqi troops. But even though reporters attend the ceremony, you have to read deep into their pieces to find mention of it, says embed Michael Yon.

"The transfer of authority did not even make the cut for news for most US publications and networks. Of those which included the story in their news reports, most mentioned it only as part of an overall report about the day’s activities in Iraq. Many of those included it in reports which were headlined or sandwiched with bad news about the violence in other parts of Iraq."

No wonder Americans are so disenchanted with the campaign. It’s all blood all the time. Pathetic. 

Islamophobia is normal

"Today’s Islam has huge problems and it is not unreasonable to be afraid of it. It’s not just the Islamic terrorism. It’s the widely spread female genital mutilation, breast ironing, subjugation of women, Sharia law, treatment of gays, fanaticism and racism including antiamericanism and antisemitism to give a few examples."

Works for me. I’d also throw in the "honor" killings of children. Via shlemazl.

The immigration polka

“Secure Borders, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Reform Act of 2007” is the official title of the controversial proposed law. But, judging from the text, only "economic opportunity" seems to be operatively likely. The full text, in easily browsable format, from The Truth Laid Bear.
