My prediction: The Council on American-Islamic Relations will be hounding this American soldier and milking this incident for every last “Islamophobia”-mongering dime they can raise (via the AJC and hat tip: Laura Mansfield):
Spc. Craig Perkins’ uniform made him a target in Baghdad - and, he believes, again in an apartment complex near Clarkston.
Perkins, who returned [...]

Is our troops, according to the New York Times.
Alcohol, strictly forbidden by the American military in Iraq and Afghanistan, is involved in a growing number of crimes committed by troops deployed to those countries. Alcohol- and drug-related charges were involved in more than a third of all Army criminal prosecutions of soldiers in the [...]

Item one: Frank Gaffney sounds the alarm again about jihadi-friendly figures in the conservative movement.
Item two: ABC reports, “Accused Terrorist Is Big GOP Donor,” while the National Republican Congressional Committee refuses to say what it will do with his $15,250 in donations.
Here, let me help: Give. It. Back. Duh.

“Obsession” is, of course, a documentary about radical Islam. You may have caught it on Fox News or Hot Air.
Students:
Michael Abdurakhmanov, president of Pace Hillel, said two deans warned that showing the documentary film would implicate club members as suspects in two hate crimes involving the desecration of the Koran at the university’s lower-Manhattan campus [...]

Andy McCarthy rightly excoriates the dhimmis in the Bush administration for pandering to CAIR:
On a weekend when the Bush administration achieved a new CAIR-friendly low, a prominent Democrat, following the lead of other prominent Democrats, distanced herself very publicly from the unsavory Council on American-Islamic Relations.
The Transportation Security Administration is the executive agency created after [...]

Talal “Ted” Ali Chammout sure has a funny way of showing his “love” of our country - via Fresno Bee (hat tip: reader Steve):
His attorney said Friday that Talal “Ted” Ali Chammout is a U.S. citizen who loves America, adores his children and is a respectable mini-mart owner in Porterville.
But federal prosecutor Carl Faller said [...]

Shakedown target
Audrey Hudson at the Washington Times has the latest on the grievance-mongering flying imams and their attempted extortion:
A group of Muslim imams is seeking an out-of-court settlement with US Airways, saying they should not have been removed from a Minnesota-to-Phoenix flight last month and were not behaving suspiciously.
Five of the six Islamic religious leaders [...]

Well, well. Audrey Hudson at the Washington Times reports that an internal investigation by US Airways, plus two other probes, so far conclude there was no wrongdoing by the crew in its treatment of the six flying imams:
Three parallel investigations into the removal of six imams from a US Airways flight last month have so [...]

Bow down
The flying imams have inspired Muslim mau-mauers across the country. Now, there’s this via the Detroit News (hat tip- Debbie Schlussel):
Fitness USA, a gym chain, is investigating an alleged civil rights violation involving a local Muslim woman who says her afternoon prayer was interrupted by a fellow patron, and that her complaint to management [...]

We take a closer look at Omar Shahin over at Hot Air. Discussion on O’Reilly last night here.
HA affiliate Charles Ryder has more video and spotted another hate-spewer at the praying imams’ protest yesterday at Reagan National.

In between breathless condemnations of the Bush administration for stifling its free speech, endless court filings demanding classified and sensitive information from the military and intelligence agencies, and self-pitying media industry confabs bemoaning their hemorrhaging circulations (with the exception of the New York Post), my colleagues in the American media don’t have much to time [...]

Yes, I’ve followed the case of the six praying imams removed from a US Airways flight at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and questioned by police for several hours before being released.
As sure as the rooster crows, CAIR is screaming and the Muslim leaders of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage are calling for a boycott.
Robert Spencer [...]

***scroll for updates…CAIR jumps in…of course…bumping to the top…update 0837 added e-mail from UCLA student…***
Been getting e-mails about this all night. Here’s the video. The usual police-bashers are attacking campus security for taking extreme measures when the student repeatedly refused to show ID and physically defied them. The student is out of control. A mob [...]

Sisayehiticha Dinssa, 35, an unemployed man traveling from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and headed for Phoenix, was arrested Tuesday at Detroit International Airport after security officials searched him and found him carrying nearly $80,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide.
Could be something. Could be nothing. In [...]

Remember the cross-shaped beams pulled from the wreckage at the World Trade Center on 9/11?

The symbol of faith and hope that inspired rescue workers and 9/11 families is being moved from the site.
The 20-foot-tall artifact was discovered in the smoking ruins two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and became a symbol for [...]

I asked yesterday for translations of the op-eds criticizing Islam that have been banned in Egypt and that have forced one of the authors, Robert Redeker, into hiding in France.
Thanks to all the readers who have e-mailed their translations. Spread these far and wide. E-mail them to your friends. Post them on Egyptian online forums. [...]

For. Crying. Out. Loud:
Times of London reports: “Police to brief Muslims before terror raids”
Police have agreed to consult a panel of Muslim leaders before mounting counter-terrorist raids or arrests. Members of the panel will offer their assessment of whether information police have on a suspect is too flimsy and will also consider the consequences on [...]

The above phrase in Arabic is “lan astaslem.” It means “I will not surrender/I will not submit.” (Thanks to Rusty, Laura, and Daveed for translation help.) This is the last line of my 9/11 column and it’s my 9/11 anniversary message to the convert-or-die jihadists.
And yes, I’ve got t-shirts in the works as a [...]

Mohammed Taha, editor-in-chief of the Sudanese private daily Al-Wifaq, was found decapitated on a Khartoum street Wednesday. He had been kidnapped by masked gunmen. A few arrests have been made; the BBC reports “no-one has claimed responsibility but suspicion will immediately turn to Sudan’s hardline Islamic groups.”
What did Taha do that cost him his life? [...]

Read Andrew Bostom at Front Page mag today, please:
Forced conversions in Islamic history are not exceptional—they have been the norm, across three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—for over 13 centuries. Orders for conversion were decreed under all the early Islamic dynasties—Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, and Mamluks. Additional extensive examples of forced conversion were recorded under both Seljuk [...]

Profiled: Better safe than sorry
I have two words for the Wal-Mart clerk who notified cops in Michigan after three young Arab men purchased 80 cell phones at 1:00am on August 11 in cash:
Thank you.
FBI spokesmen and DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff may not have the guts to admit that national security profiling is going on, but [...]

Just your average “All-American” terror suspects

***update - results: The NYTimes issues a correction to its pieta online photo caption: “A picture caption with an audio slide show on July 27 about an Israeli attack on a building in Tyre, Lebanon, imprecisely described the situation in the picture.

Christopher Chantrill at The American Thinker examines Seattle’s culture of victimology and the shooting of Jews:
You would expect that an angry American Muslim would choose Seattle to perform his outrage. Progressive Seattle legitimizes and condones the outrages of the self-described oppressed peoples. It rewards them with reduced responsibility [...]

Via AP, the White House makes nice with the grievance-mongers at the NAACP:
Bush Acknowledges Racism Still Exists
Full text of the speech is here.
What a squandered opportunity. Bush could have hit back hard at the race exploiters who shamelessly accused him of hating black people and suppressing black votes and causing Hurricane Katrina.
As for the lingering [...]

I think you should all know what’s going on. John Hoellwarth of the Marine Corps Times reports the latest twist in Cpl. Joshua Belile’s story. It’s not good:
