POPSParting Ways With The Right Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.) Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source) And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff. I won’t be going over the cliff with them.

POPSNoor Almaleki is Dead :( :( Let's pray Rifqa Bary isn't next. Btw: I met Pam Geller, Robert Spencer and a whole wack of other awesome folks at the International Legal Conference of Free Speech and Religion last week in Washington Dc. It was a real honor. You can hear much more about the conference at : http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2009/11/legal-conference-on-freedom-of-speech.html#readfurther (and on a much needed lighter note, I had the good fortune to run into Steven Crowder at Dulles Airport last night and got to thank him for his work---he was exactly like he is in the videos---good guy )

POPSRemembering 9/11, Eight Years Later the ideological battlefield. As someone who was galvanized into a political awakening and eventual transformation by 9/11, it has been disheartening to see the country slide back into somnolence. Indeed, I have wondered at times whether we have entered a post-post-9/11 age. I believe the memory still lingers in our collective consciousness, but it has retreated to the farther reaches. When one looks at history, this depressing pattern emerges time and time again. One has to wonder if human beings generally don't learn from history, but rather, are doomed to make the same mistakes over and over again. Jolted out of slumber every so often by horrific events, we then sink back into oblivion once the threat no longer seems urgent. A few will always stand on the sidelines trying to bring attention to the looming threat of the day, but by and large, we only listen when forced. Nonetheless, the fight must go on, for the alternative is far too frightening.

POPSThe Left and a Woman's Severed Head For those American feminists and Muslim-Americans who still insist that beheadings and domestic violence/femicide against Muslim girls and women has absolutely, definitely, positively, nothing to do with Islam or Muslims: I dunno. Ask Nonie Darwish, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan, Robert Spencer, Geert Wilders, read Nonie's recent book Cruel and Usual Punishment, about the nature of Sharia law and Muslim women. My God, talk to Muslim feminist dissident-activists like UK-based Maryam Namazie, or the group “Muslims against Sharia Law”

POPSObama Uses CAIR Lawyer To Stall BERG v OBAMA Sandler’s role for CAIR has been to stifle people from telling the truth about Islam. For example, last year he tried to get Jihad Expert Robert Spencer banned from speaking to the Young American Foundation, by using a threatening letter. Sandler followed up by threatening columnist Mike Adams for writing about the Spencer incident. Look, everyone deserves legal representation that is not the Issue. The real issue is why is a candidate for President of the United States, a guy who wants to take over the role of Commander-in-Chief in the war on terror, using the Lawyer for CAIR a group with terrorist connections, to represent him in a law suit? Once again the Junior Senator from Illinois leave us with questions and no answers. Hon. R.

POPSThe Problem With Bush's "Unconscionable Historical And Moral Lapse" Robert Spencer, one of the nation’s leading critics on Islam, says President Bush experienced "an unconscionable historical and moral lapse" when he recently called for an end to what he called the "occupation" of Arab land by the Israeli military. The Islam critic says it is interesting there were no calls for a Palestinian state when the same territory was occupied by Egypt and Jordan prior to 1967. http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-91061/Camp-David-Accords

POPS Religion of Peace, Harmony and Tolerance Roger Kimball examines Columbia’s decision to allow Ahmeanie to make a speech on campus from the context of the moral bankruptcy of liberalism. Consider it a must-read. Over 150 college campuses where conservatives are planning Islamofascism Awareness Weeks. That’s great, but I hope many, many more choose to participate, as well.

POPSIslamic bigotry: the slaughter of 4,000 gays Interesting how someone mentioned in comments the other day how it sucks for someone else to have the same freedom as I do; attacking me for my clip on radical Islam. No, it sucks when radical elements are excused for their behavior, like liberals do, because they want so much to 'feel good'.

POPSDuck Stew Even though CAIR failed so miserably in their suit against Andrew Whitehead the Anti-CAIR guy because of what would have come about about CAIR's support of HAMAS during discovery, they DO succeed in intimidating FOX and others thereby advancing their agenda. So they'll continue threatening these lawsuits...

POPSTerrorist chic, French style I wonder when the faux suicide bomb vest will be showing up in France and in the fashions magazines. Terrorists are their idols; because they are bonded in their hatred of Amerikka.

POPSImam Leads Dems in Prayer of Conversion With heads bowed reverently, Democrats were led in prayer yesterday by a Muslim imam who essentially asked Allah to assist in converting the party members to Islam, according to a scholar and author.
