DANIEL GREENFIELD: WEEKLY ROUNDUP PART ONE

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM? WE DON’T NEED NO STINKING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Meet Obama’s new appointee to promote religious freedom around the world.
Obama has announced the appointment of Azizah al-Hibri to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Al-Hibri (full name, Azizah Yahia Muhammad Toufiq al-Hibri) is a Muslim professor and the granddaughter of a Sheikh, who claims that the Koran inspired Thomas Jefferson and the Founders and that the Saudi criminal justice system is more moral than the American one because it accepts blood money from murderers.
How’s that for a start. But wait there’s more.
In the early days of 2001, Al-Hibri traveled to the Afghan border and criticized the Western press for “sensationalizing” Taliban atrocities and using them “as an opportunity to attack Islam”. After the attacks of September 11, she cautioned against bombing Al-Qaeda and Taliban targets during Ramadan. And that same year she defended Wahhabism as part of Islam’s “religious diversity” and its “marketplace of ideas”.
And still more…
Yet the oddest moment in Al-Hibri’s career of promoting Islamic law in the United States may have come when before Clinton’s impeachment proceedings, she actually wrote an article discussing how a sitting President of the United States might be tried under Islamic law.
Read it all in my article The Professor Who Sharia’ed Bill Clinton exclusively at Front Page Magazine.
OUR LONG NATIONAL NIGHTMARE IS FINALLY BEGINNING
Weiner finally resigned. The biggest losers are in the media who now have to find a replacement for Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen and Anthony Weiner. But they’ll be sure to find one. And then we’ll get another two weeks of the same insanity at the same insane tabloid pitch. On and on. Week after week. Month after month. Year after year.
Arnold Ahlert asks why his wife Huma Abedin’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood aren’t being investigated in a woman who stands near the center of our foreign policy. But we all know what’s important. Sending images of yourself over Twitter is much worse than being tied in with an organization dedicated to overthrowing the United States.
Just ask a Europe obsessed with Berlusconi’s Bunga Bunga, while men like Tony Blair (who reads the Koran daily) aren’t being held accountable for importing large numbers of Muslims into the UK. Which is more of a scandal? The Bunga-Bunga or the Jihad-Jihad?
Which should be more of a national scandal?
Labour threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a “truly multicultural” country, a former Government adviser has revealed.
or
A teenage belly dancer at the heart of the sex scandal involving sleazy prime minister Silvio Berlusconi has revealed how guests were naked at his infamous bunga bunga parties.
Guess which story has actually been dominating the headlines since time immemorial? Not the one that’s destroying nations.
I would love to live in a country where Weiner’s attempt to ban personal information about judges from being placed on the internet was a bigger scandal than taking shirtless photos in the gym. Sadly we don’t live in that country.
The country we live in shooting a former marine in his own home and then waiting until he dies hardly makes headlines. It’s not like Twitter or Facebook was involved, or anything salacious, which means it’s not a news story. If only there were naked photos of someone involved in the shooting, then maybe it could get two weeks of coverage too.
A 59 year old pharmacist and disabled Air Force vet in OK city sentenced to life in prison for defending himself and his employees against an armed gunman. That’s not a story. There are no shirtless pictures. I would love to be part of a blogsphere where this story got as much attention on some of the conservative blogs that devotedly ran every Weiner development. Still we all know it’s not as important.
But good news. Weiner is out. We won. And by we, I mean the Obama Administration which now has its Urban Affairs Director Adolfo Carrion in place to step into Weiner’s front runner spot in the mayor’s race. The Obamas once again beat the Clintons. And managed to overshadow Palin and the GOP debate. And we helped them do it.
Mission accomplished.
