Feb 6th
Fanatic and well-connected to terror Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary taught six of the nine terrorists jailed last week for plotting to bomb London. The plotters, British citizens, last week pleaded guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism.
The radical Islamists admitted plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange in a “Mumbaistyle” blitz.

Vanderbilt’s new policy on religious and political groups wide open for abuse and hounding of minorities
Feb 4th
Vanderbilt has instituted a new policy to apply to religious and political groups on its campus that is stirring a hornet’s nest of controversy. In this post I’m going to focus on something no one else seems to be thinking about. The policy stipulates that religious and political student organizations could no longer require their leaders to share their beliefs or, in the case of Christian groups, lead Bible study and worship services. The idea is that there can’t be any discrimination against those who don’t share the beliefs of the groups. I’ll leave the arguments (see the video below, More >
Former CIA Chief: Obama Should Learn to Stick Closer to Israel
Feb 3rd
Former CIA director R. James Woolsey spoke to Arutz Sheva on Thursday, on the sidelines of the 12th Annual Herzliya Conference.
Addressing the security situation in the Middle East in the wake of the Arab Spring, Woolsey said revolutions are usually divided into three phases: The first phase is very enthusiastic, the second phase is when the liberals take over and look like they’re going to move things well, and the third part is what he called the “non-attractive” part.
“We can hope that a number of these Arab revolutions veer off before they get to a most unattractive phase three,” he said. More >

America in the cross-hairs –and she is playing ostrich
Feb 3rd
The Moo Bossy Cow sez to watch this segment. It is important: Middle East experts Retired Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, CBN News’ Erick Stakelbeck and Frank Gaffney from the Center for Security Policy discussed the potential calamity and international unrest that may be coming as a result of the growing prominence of radical Islamists. They all agreed that America, not Israel, is Iran’s main target: “Our own Pentagon issued a report in 2010 saying that by the year 2015, Iran may have intercontinental ballistic missiles that can reach the East Coast of the United States within three years,” he More >
stomach bug
Feb 2nd
Yuck. Yesterday I wasn’t feeling too swift but managed to get along with things. Today, so not. Between the cats and growing nausea, I got almost no sleep last night. I’ve just popped out to pick up some water, soda, and juice and plan to spend the next little while focusing really hard on keeping down the breakfast I didn’t eat. Blech. What a time to get sick, with the literally stacks of work I’ve got to get done and on deadline pressure.

Feb 1st
The inmates are running the asylum. They get crazier by the day, it seems.
The Palestinian Authority’s Fatah faction met with other Muslim terrorists in late January to celebrate the founding of Fatah and stated, “Our children are our glory and honor; they were created to be fertilizer for the land of Palestine and our pure land to be saturated with their blood.”

Palestinian athiest beaten with cables, under renewed threats from PA Authority
Feb 1st
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — A Palestinian atheist who was jailed and beaten last year for expressing anti-Muslim views on Facebook and in blogs says Palestinian security forces are harassing him again, despite government pledges to respect human rights.
The blogger’s renewed ordeal is part of a persistent climate of intolerance of dissent in the territories controlled by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, say human rights activists. They say they’ve seen improvements, including a marked decrease in the mistreatment of detainees, but that Abbas’ security forces, who are partially funded by the West, must halt harassment and arbitrary detention.
