A kid carrying a gun, and wearing an explosive vest, attempted to enter a mosque. It seems that though the congregation were Muslim, they were the wrong kind of Muslim.
A guard tackled him. That is courage.

Courage
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009Iran tells it like it is:
Sunday, April 19th, 2009In his April 15, 2009 speech, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told America:
We say to you that you yourselves know that you are today in a position of weakness. Your hands are empty, and you can no longer promote your affairs from a position of strength.
… with the grace of God, and thanks to Iran’s national unity, the recommendations of Supreme Leader, and the following of his [path], nearly 7,000 centrifuges are spinning today
We are all terrorists now
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009The liberty papers found an interesting Obama document. It seems that it is not those poor misunderstood adherents of the Religion of Peace that are a problem. It is any American who disagrees with the Obama agenda. Michael Malkin confirms the document is real, not a parody.
Veterans are also terrorists, no doubt it comes of persecuting those poor adherents of the Religion of Peace.
Headless body in Gutless press
Thursday, February 19th, 2009Mark Steyn ridicules the mainstream press’s fear of Islam:
the killing of Aasiya Hassan seems to have elicited a very muted response.
When poor Mrs. Hassan’s husband launched his TV network to counter negative stereotypes of Muslims, he had no difficulty generating column inches, as far afield as The Columbus Dispatch, The Detroit Free Press, The San Jose Mercury News, Variety, NBC News, the Voice of America, and the Canadian Press. The Rochester Democrat & Chronicle put the couple on the front page under the headline “Infant TV Network Unveils The Face Of Muslim News”.
But, when Muzzammil Hassan kills his wife and “the face of Muslim news” is unveiled rather more literally, detached from her corpse at his TV studios, it’s all he can do to make the local press — page 26 of Newsday
Israel did not win
Monday, February 2nd, 2009After the recent war in the Gaza strip, Hamas declared victory, and Israel declared victory.
What do they teach small boys in school today? When I was in school, the first thing I learned is that the fight is not over till the winner can make loser cry “uncle”.
Hamas has not been destroyed, nor coerced. They continue to rocket Israel. Since they are religious fanatics, nothing short of Roman methods can force them to cry “uncle”. People who rocket one, have to be killed or driven out of rocket range.
Their recent war was not war, but theater. In war you keep going till one side loses and one side wins.
British police retreat before Muslims
Saturday, January 17th, 2009British police retreat before a hail of not very dangerous missiles:
This retreat follows a long series of recent similar humiliations – the British submission in Basra, in Helmand province, and in the Persian Gulf. Weakness and fear is provocative. Someone is going to take Britain from the British.
All quiet in France
Thursday, January 8th, 2009Small Dead Animals draws my attention to the fact that things are not all quiet in France
On New Years day, more than 1000 cars were torched – but the French seem unable to mention the fact that Muslims were burning the cars of infidels. Islamic jihadism has tripled over the last year, but French government imposition of order has remained unchanged – which trend, if continued for much longer, will end with Islamic rule and sharia rule imposed on French infidels.
Never forget, never forgive

Yellow bellied surrender monkeys
Monday, August 11th, 2008In the last ten years or so we have been hearing a lot of disturbing reports about Britain – reports of a society of fearful and servile subjects, of criminals acting with impunity, of the British accepting second class status to Islam. Maybe the gun lobby is exaggerating British submission to criminals, maybe racists and war hawks are exaggerating British submission to Islam, but this story of cowardice and betrayal from Basra fits with what we have been hearing about self defense in Britain and freedom of religion in Britain.
The authors, however blame the leadership, not the troops, so perhaps with a more manly leader, such as Margaret Thatcher, the old British would reappear. On the other hand, the similar humiliations in the Persian gulf, and the very similar cowardice and betrayal in Helmand province are worrying. Doubtless it was the leadership that betrayed Helmand province, but was it the political leaders that caused troops to surrender on the Persian gulf?
What has been happening in Georgia
Monday, August 11th, 2008The boundaries of all the Balkan and Caucasus states are ill defined, one blurs into the other, each contains people who feel themselves outsiders and oppressed. In some, like Estonia, “oppression” is merely that if you cannot speak the majority language, or a widely spoken international language such as English, you have poor job prospects. In others, oppression consists of robbery, rape, and murder. By and large the resentment is greater, and more likely to lead to bloody fratricidal violence, when it is merely a matter of not being able to get a job if people cannot understand what you are saying.
A lot of people that think themselves Ossetian and Russian live in Georgia. Most of them cannot speak Georgian. Imaginary repression resulted in bloody insurrection, which resulted in real and bloody repression. Russia intervened and seized what it now calls South Ossetia. It installed a police state there, which suggests that not all South Ossetians hate the Georgians more than the Russians.
Georgia proceeded to build up its military power, and had a stab at getting “South Ossetia” back. Russians then invaded Georgia a couple of days ago, to prevent Georgians from recovering “South Ossetia”.
So it is not necessarily serious. Both sides might well accept a return to the status quo ante, wherein “South Ossetia” remains a Russian police state. Georgians, however, are perfectly capable of making the status quo painfully expensive for Russia, and have been doing so, which might provoke Russia to eliminate Georgia – or Georgians.
