Senator Jon Kyl

Please contact Senator Jon Kyl to thank him for hosting Geert Wilders, the man responsible for the film Fitna, and who is touring the U.S. this week.

It is a courageous thing to do for a politician simply because Wilders is such a controversial figure with the media. But this is exactly the kind of thing we'd like to encourage in our politicians, so please give him you very best kudos. He deserves it. Contact Jon Kyl here.

For more information on Mr. Wilders U.S. Tour Stops with the video of Fitna, go to Altas Shrugs.

Parents of Croham Hurst Students

Every little victory counts. Islamic supremacists are trying to wage jihad by gaining concessions. Every concession resisted is a victory. Every concession reversed is a victory. The parents of the children of Croham Hurst School have recently reversed a previous concession, and that makes them heroes in this fight.

For years, the school has been serving Halal meat, no doubt because of pressure from Muslims to be "multicultural." Muslims, wherever they are, constantly press for special consideration and accommodation. Parents never knew this concession had been made, but when they found out, they put pressure on the school to stop it, and they won.

You can read the story here: Halal Meat Taken Off School Menu.

I originally found the story at Islam In Action.

Charles Krauthammer

Every once in awhile someone writes a piece so clear and so persuasive, it is spontaneously shared far and wide and changes peoples' minds. Or at least loosens their self-righteous certainty, opening the way for new knowledge to leak in. Charles Krauthammer's article, Outreach, Yes. Apology, No. is just such a piece.

The article is about two comments Obama made, and how those comments reflect Obama's and many others' lack of knowledge about recent history. Obama's comments implied that the United States should apologize to the Muslim world for our disrespect of them. Here are a few excerpts from Krauthammer's piece:
In these most recent 20 years — the alleged winter of our disrespect of the Islamic world — America did not just respect Muslims, it bled for them. It engaged in five military campaigns, every one of which involved — and resulted in — the liberation of a Muslim people: Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The two Balkan interventions — as well as the failed 1992-93 Somalia intervention to feed starving African Muslims (43 Americans were killed) — were humanitarian exercises of the highest order, there being no significant U.S. strategic interest at stake. In these 20 years, this nation has done more for suffering and oppressed Muslims than any nation, Muslim or non-Muslim, anywhere on Earth. Why are we apologizing?
