Cartoonist Carlos Latuff, apparently, is a notorious anti-Semite and his online mag the Middle East Monitor about as anti-Israel as you can get. Nevertheless, this one looks spot-on to me. Indeed, until Islam as a whole heeds Eqyptian president al-Sisi’s call for reform and works to stop these attacks its prophet and his adherents will continue to be perfect targets for satire and revenge.

I’m with JimCarr28, a commenter at Instapundit, who says Islamic State makes him nostalgic for napalm. Not to mention the Paris magazine attack and subsequent Jewish hostage-takings.
Because “people on fire tend to be too occupied to cause their neighbors much trouble.”
So much cheaper than multi-pound bombs, too, and oh, so much more effective on the target and its audience.
Indeed, why do we shelve our best weaponry, just when we really need it?

So prescient, our man in the White House.
Might be a good idea to paint out your company logo before selling that old truck for a new one. You could wind up seeing it in news reports about ISIS from Syria or Iraq.
Like Texas City plumber Mark Oberholtzer did. And getting lots of threats back.

The third time was the charm for the Israeli Air Force Friday. Its stretch F-16s carried out air strikes on a Hamas training camp in the southern Gaza strip. The third time was the third rocket fired since the end of last summer’s campaign, this one into Eshkol.
The rocket followed a large anti-Israel Hamas demo on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem calling for a resumption of the rocket barrage. And a Hamas delegation’s visit to Iran, one of the terror group’s principal backers, along with Qatar and Turkey. Keep it up schmucks and you’ll get another campaign that could be more devastating than the previous one.

UPDATE: The strikes included a cement factory for building more tunnels, Bibi says.

Never mind the black flag in the window of the Sydney, Australia coffee shop that says “There is no god but Allah.” The Fort Hood killer shouted the same thing as he gunned down his unarmed prey, but Wormtongue’s feds are still denying it could have been anything but workplace violence.
We’ll have to wait and see what the Aussies decide to term it. Possibly depending on how many of the between 12 and 40 hostages make it out alive and, of course, how many are employees. Gotta parse the tea leaves in these matters and, above all, pretend they’re not religion-motivated.
That would be Islamophobic. And we can’t have that now, can we? Why, shoot, some people (including the police) can actually see the perp with what appears to be a pump shotgun. So are there police snipers on the case? Not yet. But, hey, there’s some progress. The event is now officially being referred to as “a terrorist incident.” Take that, Barry.

UPDATE: The perp is dead and two hostages. “11:30 EST The Daily Telegraph is now saying 4 wounded, 2 dead. One of the deceased is reportedly ‘Sheik’ Man Haron Monis, as he is now referred to in the press.” He was another known Lone Wolf.
