From the New York Times: Can angry young Muslims dictate what is and is not acceptable in the traditionally open-minded world of Dutch arts?

The brutal murders of the Armanious family, whose members were devout and outspoken Coptic Christians from Egypt, are getting scant MSM attention.

Well, folks, it’s not just the Palestinian Authority that is in the business of indoctrinating young people through vile martyrdom videos.

Oh, for crying out loud. Do we really need a TV show that preaches that being an Islamofascist is “complex?” Update: A reader chimes in… Take a look at the points of views of the producers and it’s pretty clear where they are coming from.
