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:
Jimm Mosher, record producer and co-owner of Hit Music Incorporated of Spencer, N.C., said his studio is on retainer for radio’s internationally syndicated Mike Church Show, which often [...]

Yo, yo, yo: Don’t miss my video report on Jihad Rap.

More on the dope Islamic rhymes of Aki Nawaz. The lowdown on rapper “Arabic Assassin.” Brit Muslims love “Dirty Kuffar.”
And your tax dollars at work at the State Department. Native Deen lead singer served as a CAIR official.

I talked last night with Marine Josh Belile, who was targeted by the Haditha exploiters at CAIR for a satirical song he sang to the troops. He has been exonerated and asked me to post his statement:
It’s good to be able to breathe again. I have had a lot of support since this [...]

The witch hunt against the Marine who performed “Hadji Girl” continues. Military lawyers are scouring their books for a reason to punish Cpl. Joshua Belile:
Marine Corps officials said on Wednesday their preliminary inquiry will focus on whether Belile broke military law or rules in writing and singing a song with offensive lyrics to an audience [...]

***update: Blackfive reports: “I received the original video “Hodji Girl” (that was the title) back in early March from a Corpsman who thought that Corporal Joshua [Belile] was hilarious. I sent it around to my friends with the caveat not to post it so [Belile] wouldn’t suffer the wrath of the humorless asshat sycophants [...]

This is a new billboard that went up in Denver this week. (Hat tip: Slapstick Politics) Like most major metropolitan cities from NYC to Los Angeles to San Francisco, Denver is a de facto sanctuary city for illegal aliens. It’s an open secret. Might as well advertise it in black and white. Here’s more on [...]

For most people, the Beltway-area sniper case is a distant memory. Over and done. But in Montgomery County, Md., the pain and suffering caused by convicted killing spree murderers Lee Malvo and John Muhammad is as fresh and raw as it was three years ago when the pair terrorized the area–leaving 10 dead and [...]

The editorial board of Investor’s Business Daily braves the p.c. bullies and confronts CAIR. Must-read:
What better time for CAIR and other Muslim leaders to step up, cut through the politically correct fog and provide factual answers to the questions that give so many non-Muslims pause?
Generally speaking, those questions focus on whether the Quran does indeed [...]

Mark Steyn:
The fragile Afghan state is protected by American, British, Canadian, Australian, Italian and other troops, hundreds of whom have died. You cannot ask Americans or Britons to expend blood and treasure to build a society in which a man can be executed for his choice of religion. You cannot tell a Canadian soldier serving [...]

***scroll for updates…CAIR calls for Rahman to be freed…yes, CAIR…Australia joins the fray***

Cam Edwards of OnTap e-mailed me yesterday with an excellent idea–a rally for Abdul Rahman outside the Afghan embassy in Washington, D.C. Thanks to the D.C. Freepers, a permit has been submitted to the D.C. police.
Cam reports:
The way it works is the D.C. [...]

If you’re an NCAA basketball fan, heads up. This in via AP:
The FBI said Friday there is no specific, credible threat of a terror attack aimed at college basketball arenas or other sports stadiums, but acknowledged alerting law enforcement to a recent Internet posting discussing such attacks.
The FBI and Homeland Security Department distributed an intelligence [...]

Where’s the ACLU? Via AP:
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Two editors at the University of Illinois student-run newspaper were suspended Tuesday for their decision to run a series of cartoons that have sparked outrage and violence around the Islamic world.
Editor-in-chief Acton H. Gorton said the Daily Illini’s publisher suspended him and the newspaper’s opinions sections editor, [...]

Medpundit reports on a new front in the Cartoon Jihad–smack dab in Middle America. One of my favorite editorial cartoonists, the Akron Beacon Journal’s Chip Bok, has now raised the ire of the Council on American Islamic Relations for taking a jab at CNN’s ridiculous cartoon pixelation policy:

Despite the fact that the obvious [...]

The Islamists’ Bogus Anti-Muslim Art (Large images here, here, and here)
—
Danish TV station, DR 1, aired a valuable news segment yesterday on the manufacturing of the Cartoon Jihad yesterday.
The station took the BBC to task for erroneously attributing the now-infamous French pig-squealing contest photo–exploited by a delegation of Danish imams to foment fear of anti-Muslim [...]

Freedom for Egyptians notes that the Forbidden Cartoons were published in Al Fagr, an Egyptian newspaper last October. Cairo-based blog, Rantings of an Egyptian Sandmonkey, has scans of the paper with the cartoons and asks:
“Guess we will have to Boycott Egypt now as well, huh?”

It seems that every major TV news report on the Muhammad Cartoons that I’ve seen ends with a tiptoeing disclaimer that Islam considers any depiction of Muhammad sacrilegious (and, therefore, vulnerable to arson, vandalism, and mass riots).
But as Zombie notes in his Mohammed Image Archive, linked last week, “hundreds of paintings, drawings and other [...]

Guess which side they chose?
The United States blasted the publication by European newspapers of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as unacceptable incitement to religious or ethnic hatred.
“These cartoons are indeed offensive to the beliefs of Muslims,” State Department spokesman Justin Higgins said when queried about the furore sparked by the cartoons which first appeared in [...]

***11:20am update…I’ve just learned that the NYSun published two of the cartoons in today’s print edition…will post scans if I can get them…bravo!…scan posted below…***

I have contacted several newspaper op-ed editors urging them to run the Danish forbidden cartoons along with my column this week.
So far, all have declined.
Now, via a tip from Sissy Willis, [...]

Brian Maloney has an exclusive interview with KFI radio talk show host Bill Handel, under fire from CAIR and the Islamist brigade, over at The Radio Equalizer.
Hang tough.

Last October, I blogged about a Danish newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, and its cartoonists being threatened by Muslim extremists for publishing cartoons about the prophet Muhammad deemed offensive by Islamist p.c. bulllies. See here and here.
For the past four months, The Brussels Journal has relentlessly covered the ensuing uproar from the Muslim world and the battle over [...]

It’s about time. Via Breitbart/AP:
The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of classified information about President Bush’s secret domestic spying program, Justice officials said Friday. The officials, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of [...]

You knew this was going to happen, didn’t you?

CAIR FILES FOIA REQUEST ON RADIATION MONITORING OF MUSLIM SITES

Not that anyone cares anymore in the land of the dwindling attention span, but French hoodlums continue to torch cars and wreak havoc (hat tip: Astute Blogger):
A high school guard suffered a heart attack and died today while trying to extinguish cars set aflame by vandals in the latest unrest in troubled French suburbs, police [...]

My latest column, “Monumental surrender,” on the Flight 93 Memorial controversy, bubbling in the blogosphere for nearly a week, is up:
War memorials should memorialize war. If you want peace and understanding and healing and good will toward all, go build Kabbalah centers…
…A proper war memorial stirs to anger and action. We all remember passenger Todd [...]

Tons of you are stunned, outraged, and sickened by the new Flight 93 Memorial, the “Crescent of Embrace.” I called the architect responsible for the redesign, Paul Murdoch of Los Angeles, yesterday for comment. He did not return my call, but he did speak with the Johnstown, Pa., Tribune Democrat, as quoted in the [...]

Because there are so many unanswered questions in talk host Michael Graham’s removal from Washington’s WMAL, I’ve been pressing both sides for real answers.
One side is revealing more, while one of Graham’s (now former) co-hosts has issued a wimpy public statement.
Was Graham really fired for offending CAIR’s fringe Islamists?
The latest is here at the Radio [...]

Score one, perhaps two, for the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Said to have terror group ties to Hamas and others, CAIR has succeeded in permanently removing WMAL/Washington talk show host Michael Graham from the airwaves.
That’s after the conservative ABC radio host criticized Islam in a blunt, but not particularly outlandish, manner.
The score could actually be [...]

Conservative radio talk show host and NRO contributor Michael Graham has been suspended from WMAL-AM without pay in Washington, D.C., for bluntly challenging Islam last week on air and this week in a column. Excerpt from his JWR piece:
I take no pleasure in saying it. It pains me to think it. I could [...]

Who will be first to blame Bush, Blair, and Iraq?
Joe Gandelman has an excellent round-up, as always, with reminders of al Qaeda’s longtime targeting of Egyptian tourism.
The Counterterrorism Blog also has comprehensive coverage. Andrew Cochran notes:
In looking for a motive, note that the trial of the October 2004 suspects is scheduled for July 24 [...]
