Different Islamic strokes

Now here’s a really different kind of American Muslim. Of course, he would be a lawyer:

"…the Southern libertarian in me, raised in the heart of Dixie, and educated by some of the great conservative thinkers of the American South, refuses to go away."

Well worth a look, a read, and a bookmark.

The torture of the grave

Another good reason not to convert to Islam (in addition to not being able to safely change your mind):

"In the grave, the deceased Muslim – this composite of spirit and corpse – encounters two terrifying angels, Munkar and Nakir, recognized by their bluish faces, their huge teeth and their wild hair."

It gets weirder

He aims to misbehave

"My name is Adil. I have been born and raised among dutiful and obedient Muslims, and I aim to misbehave."

Why uni-culturalism, i.e. the ascent of the immigrant Muslim kind, is remodeling Great Britain. 

Shocking revelation

Quietly, surreptitiously, Coca Cola and Pepsi offend Islam. Observe.

Cosmic chess

Did the Pope intend what his words would do, drive the rent-a-mobs to the street, because, suggests the Anchoress, he was playing cosmic chess, making a supernatural challenge to their Islamist masters, as one believer to another, to reconsider their actions and put down their swords?

"According to the Associated Press, as she lay dying, Sr. Leonella Sgorbati followed the example of her lord, murmuring, ‘I forgive, I forgive…’ about her murderers. That is an action of grace; it is supernatural in origin. Her death will have repercussions throughout the world, as will the Pope’s speech – as will any attempt on his life – and none of it will reflect well on Islam, which may finally be forced to look within to identify its enemies."

They’re at it again

20060915Pope-Pakistan04.jpg

The Religion of Peace is at it again, looking for all the world like a religion of war, or at least hair-trigger protest and perpetual grievance. Last time it was cartoons, this time it’s the Pope.

"The furore over comments made by Pope Benedict about the Islamic concept of Holy War continues to grow. Today British Muslims joined in, fiercely criticising his remarks."

Here’s the Pope unfiltered, in the complete transcript, only a fraction (two sentences) of which are about jihad, not that protestors likely have read it. Read it yourself

UPDATE Great selection of links at Instapundit on this subject, including arguments that the Pope shouldn’t have apologized, but ought to have shown more guts in the face of this nonsense. And another post saying he hasn’t actually apologized and has them where he wants them, or something. Otherwise, he might as well stop talking about why Catholicism is preferable to other religions. He does that, doesn’t he? All religious leaders do, don’t they? The Islamic ones certainly do, the terrorists among them telling us to convert or else. 

The Palestinians fire bombed the doors of a few churches in the West Bank and Gaza.

My favorite line is from Instapundit: How long would (the MSM) put up with Baptist rage?

Although, really, showingcasing the latest Muslim rent-a-mob isn’t putting up with the Islamists but revealing them for what they are–childish and prone to manipulation.
