Deconstructing occupation as a root cause of Muslim terrorism. Via FrontPageMag: Before resting its recent case against Mohammed Momin Khawaja under Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, the prosecution presented Momin’s former fiancée, Zeba Khan, as the final witness via a video link from Dubai. Ms. Khan reportedly stated in her testimony: “You will not meet a young Muslim man in the world who is not angry about something. Anyone who watches the news, if he wasn’t mad then, a) there’s something wrong with him, or b) he’s ignorant.” Obviously, not all angry young Muslim men are engaging in violence — nor, of

From FoxNews: “In the name of Allah the Indian Mujahedeen strike again! Do whatever you can, within 5 minutes from now, feel the terror of Death!” said an e-mail from a little-known Muslim terror cell sent to several Indian television stations minutes before the blasts began. The e-mail’s subject line said “Await 5 minutes for the revenge of Gujarat,” an apparent reference to 2002 riots in the western state which left 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead. The historic city of Ahmadabad is

Via JWR: It is axiomatic that a knowledge of history is a prerequisite for understanding the present. But the question is: How much weight should we give to controversial figures from the past when deciding how to think about current conflicts? According to the authors of a new book about Haj Amin al-Husseini (1893-1974), the grand mufti of Jerusalem, who played a key role in fomenting and exacerbating the struggle between Jews and Arabs during much of the 20th century, the answer is

[Warning: Clicking on the link will take you to al-Jazeera’s website. Be warned.] From Arab Media Blind to Darfur: More than 200,000 people have died in the conflict in Darfur, with millions more turned into refugees, but for many in the Arab world, the humanitarian catastrophe may as well not exist. Lawrence Pintak, a journalist and Arab media expert, says the problem with Darfur is that it does not fit the template of Arabs being the victims and other people the aggressors. Thus, the Arab media have largely ignored it. “I think we are in a state of denial,” says

In the immediate aftermath of the Palestinian bulldozer rampage, which killed three Israelis and injured dozens more, HonestReporting focused on the headlines on the BBC’s website. The headlines went from “Israel bulldozer driver shot dead” to “Bulldozer rampage hits Jerusalem” and finally settled on “Deadly Jerusalem bulldozer attack.” The BBC, however, was not the only media outlet that raised eyebrows with its coverage. Numerous news outlets, including newspapers that provided otherwise honest and fair coverage of the day’s events, placed surprising emphasis on the attacker’s motives to humanize him and “explain” his actions. The British Daily Telegraph for example, noted

Shortly after 12:00 noon, the International Red Cross Association confirmed that its officials had received a casket containing human remains from the terrorist group. The

As security forces raced to the scene, the Muslim fired round after round of ammunition into the library at the seminary, religious Zionism’s flagship institution. About 80 students had gathered in the library to celebrate the Hebrew month of Adar II, which begins on Friday evening. Now, 10 Israelis are dead, and the detestable palestinian thugs in Gaza are celebrating. It’s amazing how much money and time
