  1. If a suicide bombing is not enough – a deadly “commando raid” will surely come handy.

    At least eight dead in gun attack in Pakistani city of Quetta (BBC, Aug 9, 2013)
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-23628545
    “At least eight people were killed when gunmen opened fire outside a mosque on the outskirts of the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta, police say.

    About 15 others were wounded in the attack, which came as worshippers left the Sunni Muslim mosque after sunrise prayers for the Eid al-Fitr festival.

    Bullets hit the car of Ali Madad Jatak, a former Pakistan People’s Party provincial minister, but he was unhurt.

    On Thursday dozens of people died in a suicide bomb blast in Quetta….”

  2. #3 The Muslim Biographer — So is the Christian world now going to issue an ecclesiastical fatwa against this bloke for slagging the Christian Prophet? Thought not. Hence the difference between the savage and the civilized man. And I’m a non-theist.

  3. OT People more knowledgeable about this law could probably pick apart calmly and factually this emotional and inflammatory article, especially around the confusion regarding what is meant by “foreign law” (I suspect it is not about merely geography but has to do with other laws than the Constitution and the laws based on the Constitution) and that this does not single out any one religion. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/09/north-carolina-your-anti-sharia-law-takes-the-cake.html

  4. 1# Interesting, are they going to try and talk the Israelis out of the strike or to check out the ops plan and approve it?

    #2 LOL

    #5 Stock Markets have no direct relationship with the state of the economy, however they do show you what the big investors are thinking, when they pull their money out of the market they are saying the economy is bad. Unfortunately their putting money in the market doesn’t mean the reverse, it can and usually does mean that they see a chance to make money even if the economy is bad.

    #6 Talk about social engineering, this is another program of the radical left that Obama is implementing, welcome to 1984 and we can all give thanks that it is not a BRAVE NEW WORLD.

  5. Reading the comments in that article on North Carolina’s anti-foreign law bill, it is pretty clear Muslims are looking like victims of bigoted White Republican Bible Thumping Christians that the left has a knee jerk hatred for.

    In reality there should be just as much or even more left wing people in the counter jihad movement as Islam and Sharia stands against every liberal principle, but because Christian majority Muslim minority dynamic in the West they are not.
