I haven't posted here in quite some time, not that I haven't been blogging.So, here is the final update:I finished the rest of the Qur'an and nothing there made me change my mind about the Manson-like quality of the cult.

Via Dean's World comes this piece pointing out the hypocrisy of the Saudi's and other militant Islamic enemies of the USA.The Bible in Saudi Arabia may get a person killed, arrested, or deported. In September 1993, Sadeq Mallallah, 23, was beheaded in Qateef on a charge of apostasy for owning a Bible.Sort of odd, considering Islam considers the Bible a holy book that is superceeded by the

I would echo these comments from Robert Spencer. The thing that everyone is missing in this story is that the rioters killed because someone may have flushed a Qur'an down a toilet. Is that really a jusification for murder?The question here is one of proportionate response. If a Qur'an had indeed been flushed, Muslims would have justifiably been offended. They may justifiably have considered the

Someone (link removed by request) in the "tolerance" brigade takes me to task for using the term "nutjob" in reference to UBL and his murderous gang of assholes. It surprises me to find out that I am "ignorant". I am sure glad to have these "good friends" and "patriots" on the left around to help me get my priorities in order.On a more serious note, life intrudes again here at "nutjob central". I

For the benefit of new readers, I will recap the story so far.I started out a touch over a year ago to read the Qur'an in the hope I would gain some insight into the minds of the nutjobs. I wanted to keep an open mind and kept that up until this post and this post. The murders of the Hatuel family made a lasting impression, one that colors everything I will do, read and say on this topic as well

It seems that a Canadian blogger started a minor kerfuffle but asking some lefty-leaning questions of America and Americans. I can't even find the original post now, but Alarming News has a response.

It seems that the kook left is alive and well in America. Is the left spinning out of control? I think it more likely that this sort of thought is far to the left of mainstream Democrats, at least that is my hope. Looking at the goofiness displayed here, I worry for the future. I mean how does this sort of belief system survive? How does it grow? What rational person could really believe in this

If that holds up, there would be about 139,000. Statistically inconceivable that Kerry could overcome Bush's lead since

No leftward media bias? Read The Ten Worst Media Distortions of Campaign 2004 -- MRC Profile in Bias -- Media Research Center These are only the top 10, I would have put the lack of reporting on Sen. Kerry's (D-France) continuing distortion of the events at Tora Bora at 9 or 10, but otherwise no major disagreements.

There have been a number of reaction to my post Misconceptions About Islam. Most follow the form of The Peoria Pundit, my response is below. I may have been guilty of painting the whole of Islam with a broad brush in this post, but it is response to the tone of the original article. The original author claims the Islamic world is a wonderful place for women due to laws derived from the Qur’an.

Kerry was whining about the attacks and repeating the same

The debate was won by Vice President Cheney and by a large margin. I doubt anyone's vote changes as a direct result, but Mr. Cheney's performance completely erases any gains by the Senator from France's win last week. At times Sen. Edwards (D-Bunnies) was out of his league and failed to show the skills at litigation that earned him enough money to buy a Senate seat (money from your pockets BTW).

As the left crows about a "Kerry victory" in the debates, more of his arguments are proven to be false or have blown up in his face. Jeff Harrell has the goods on 2 major arguments the Sen. Kerry (D-France) used that are now shown to be unreasonable.Things aren't looking too good for Senator Kerry in the wake of last week's debate. First China explicitly — and preemptively — rejected his plan

Right Reason has done some investigation into GDP and defense spending of Sen. Kerry's (D-France) allies. The results and undeniable conclusion is right here.So tell me, out of France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, or Canada (total defense budget: $110.3 billion, less than 1/3 of US defense spending), which ones would have to join before it would be a real alliance? I think that Sen. Kerry is

Spoons has an interesting take on the Libyan call for sweeping changes in the UN.The U.N. is worse than useless. It's dangerous, counterproductive, and evil. It would be wrong to call it antiquated, because that would imply that there was a time when the U.N. served a valuable purpose. There never was such a time.Then, he gets mean! I don't know if I would support these changes. I completely

One thought occurs to me about what Sen. Kerry (D-France) said last night about the battle of Tora Bora.Unfortunately, he escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora. We had him surrounded. But we didn't use American forces, the best trained in the world, to go kill him. The president relied on Afghan warlords and he outsourced that job too. That's wrong. My immediate reaction was how dishonest this

I was hopeful for a Presidential knockout punch tonight and I am disappointed. I think is was a draw. Sen. Kerry (D - France) played his very weak hand to the best outcome he could hope for, The President failed to beat the Senator with the giant stick that the Senator provided for him. I just about yelled myself out when, at 2 different times, The President failed to add "our enemies" to the

Father-Daughter Talk A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and was for distribution of all wealth. She felt deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, which she expressed openly. One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to higher taxes

Dear Armed Liberal, RE: Your recent, thoughtful post. I would respectfully suggest that President Bush has earned your vote. I say this because of the many thoughtful posts you have made to Winds of Change that are in agreement with the President's positions. You are part of a well respected team of bloggers that have shown (IMHO) great wisdom and correct positions on the Global War on Terror.

I am making a point to not blog about the beheading yesterday (and most likely today) until I get a better handle on my emotions. So, I am here to point you, gentle reader, to a post on The Kerry Spot on National Review Online that lays out the connection between CBS and the DNC. If proven, this effectively ends the Kerry campaign. The pointer comes from Spoons who adds this piece of comedy
