Sad to say, for me, outrage fatigue is setting in. As young as 14? That's pretty dang good for them. I seem to recall them trying to instill martyrdom desires in toddlers, even putting bomb belts on them before they could even walk. Why, in their culture, a 14-year-old could have five or six children by now. Certainly 14-yo's are considered adults over there. It is cultural imperialism that drives us to insist that their 14-yo's are children. What right do we have to do that?

Gee I guess I missed out on all the fun.

As for the ALA, is there anyone more irrelevant? Librarians are only known for shushing people anyway.

Though, I do find the thought interesting, that a guy could check out books on how to make bombs, or how to be an Islamic martyr, and the librarians would fight to keep their records out of the watchful eye of Homeland Security, but my constant checking out of books by Steyn, Spencer, Bruce Bawer, Andy McCarthy, Steve Emerson, (etc) might have them falling over each other to be the first to turn me in to some other creepy and illiberal branch of government!

Does anyone really think they'd have the same drive to protect the privacy of people they consider their ideological enemy? I have a bridge for sale, by the way.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
And if you insult my Prophet peace be unto him,
I'll saw your head off with a dull knife, you infidel dog, you son of pigs and monkeys!

It's not that the End Times have arrived, it's just that the usual editors are on vacation.

Next week we will return you to your normal sanitized biased (cough-cough!) " ' news ' " (ahem) *reports.*

Since when are ammunition depots sacred, 'sanctuaries' to be respected? Even their secondary explosions do not respect them. Why should we?

People who read and post here need no convincing. But we all need to do a better job of waking the neighbors the f--- up.

" ... asked the Muslim leadership to declare that Hindus were not "kafirs" ..."

Again, that's just plain silly. What person in their right mind would capriciously, out of a blue sky, for no apparent reason, redefine their terms and issue a religious ruling that disbelievers are not disbelievers? Might as well ask me to pledge that 2 plus 2 = 3.1415926535897932...

The only people who would do such a thing is obviously, people who are defeated, who are powerless, who are utterly at the mercy of the one making such a request, and even then they would do it with a rolling of the eyes, with fingers crossed behind their backs, with an ambition for a future vengeance and under their breath, a 'still, it moves,' as Galileo was reputed to have said as he told his inquisitors what they wanted to hear.

It's a bit early for that.

The only way India could become a friend of Islam, would be to look at the meaning of the word 'islam,' and to submit, to submit to Mohammed the 'prophets' malevolent rulings, to submit entirely, without reservation or hesitation, to become slaves, to give up their pride and their religion and everything they believe in.

I think India is a friend of OURS. They are sensible, Islamists are not, they are freedom-loving, Islamists are not, they are bright, wise, intelligent, full of vision and a desire for prosperity -- Islam is not. Islam just confines itself to a constricted purity, to a stifling conformity, to a slavery, to a numbing of the mind and a denying of humanity and all its potential, forsaking all for a seventh-century collection of bizarre fetishes, as dictated by a psychotic megalomaniac --

This sucks. Shame on these people for even thinking of it. WTF is wrong with them, that they want to be a 'friend' of Islam? Islam has no friends. Islam only has the company that misery famously loves.

Hmm...

This is not a reasonable request. The only way India could be a friend of Islam would be -- well I am sure there would be several requirements, such as, if India's leader would recite the Shahada on behalf of all Indians, for them to unilaterally release all claims on the Hindu Kush, to stop worshiping cows and that blue dude with eleven arms, to pay the Jizyah and feel subdued etc, to allow Muslims free rein to take over all the towns and rule by Shariah law -- just off the top of my head --

This is not a reasonable request. Might as well ask someone to say that down is up and wrong is right, that the night sky is white and the sun is black, I mean it makes no sense. For once I agree with the silence of the Muslims, that this request is too absurd for a response of any sort.

Might as well ask me to suddenly become a friend of welfare states, or to say that Big Government is the salvation of all, or that good is evil and evil good.

Ain't gonna happen. If anything, this preposterous request, coming from a position of weakness rather than strength, invites only contempt and further subjugation.

Um, stupid, Arafat was Egyptian, not 'Palestinian.'

And he didn't defend "his" country against evil, he sentenced it to hopeless, backwards, never-ending poverty and despair. He made them into international pariahs, except in the malevolent eyes of Jew-hating bigots, such as yourself.

Pretty much how Jacqui Smith's blood sister Janet 'Deer in the Headlights' Napolitano imposed the same restrictions on the US border with Canada as are rightly imposed on the drug-war ravaged border with Mexico. Mindless, robotic, soulless, idiotic, knee-jerk groveling at the altar of Political Correctness.
