Just yesterday we had a British commander saying the Taliban couldn’t be beaten. And Friday we saw the Taliban saying they were rejecting Karzai’s offer to negotiate. The clue to this muddle may come in the Saudi statement about stopping Iranian expansionism: they may be putting pressure on the Taliban and Karzai to wind things up -- and why not? Karzai’s Constitution recognizes Sharia as the highest law of the land -- so that Sunni resources can be turned against the Rafidite dogs of Iran.

Prospect of peace talks rises in Afghanistan - Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Kabul -- The Afghan war is at its highest pitch since it began seven years ago, growing daily in scope and savagery. Yet on both sides of the conflict, the possibility of peace negotiations has gained sudden prominence.

2) Muslims are obligated to participate in the "struggle," or Jihad, to remove all obstacles to the spread, and then the dominance, of Islam.
3) Those o... more
Hizballah in Toronto. Apparently Hassan Nasrallah, even though he once said that if the Jews "all gather in Israel, it will save us the trouble of going after them worldwide," has decided to hound them worldwide after all.
Meanwhile, step back a minute. Here we have a report of a jihadist cell doing surveillance work in a Toronto hotel. They apparently got caught, and that is good, but the fact that they were there at all while we have candidates for national office denying the existence of ... more
"U.S. fights Islamic anti-defamation push" – the headline of this Washington Times article
The phrase "anti-defamation" puts one naturally in mind of the Anti-Defamation League, a group formed to fight group defamation of Jews. The word, in that case, fit.
But the word does not fit when it is used by members of the Islamintern International. For they are attempting not to stop "defamation" but to shut down any real study of Islam beyond the most transparent of apologetic toe-dipping ... more
