Having had its offices firebombed in the past, the ‘provocative’ outfit has taken the decision to publish for a third time cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad. In response, it has been reported by Farsnews that an anti-Semitic cartoon […]
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ DRONING ON It is hard to avoid the conclusion that the report is propaganda manufactured by FFR and Reprieve on behalf of the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ CRIMINALS HATE GUNS Criminals hate guns. Whether it’s the street mugger, the corrupt CEO or the dirty politician, they hate the idea that any of their victims might be armed. Mugging an armed man is dangerous. Throwing an armed man out of his home is dangerous. Repressing an armed man is dangerous. If your […]

IN ISRAEL FILM MAKERS ARE FREE TO CRITICIZE AND BASH ISRAEL…..IN ALL THE ARAB NATIONS SUCH MOVIE MAKING WOULD RESULT IN JAIL TIME FOR THE PRODUCERS AND A RIOT OR TWO IN THE ARAB GUTTER….RSK
The nominations for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards best movies of 2012 were announced yesterday, January 10, and two Israeli films are among those nominated.
Of course, both movies portray Israel in a negative light, so calm down before kvelling.
The movies, “5 Broken Cameras,” and “The Gatekeepers,” were both nominated in the category of Best Documentary film. Both films portray Israelis as primarily violent thugs who are intent on oppressing the Arab Palestinians.
“5 Broken Cameras” is produced and directed by an Arab Palestinian, Emad Burnat, and an Israeli Jew, Guy Davidi. It won the World Cinema Directing Award at the 2012 Sundance Festival.
Emad Burnat, the storyteller in “5 Broken Cameras,” is from the village of Bil’in, which is the site of a weekly protest by the villagers and numerous activists hungry for fights with Israelis. The protests are ostensibly about the creation of Israel’s security fence – which opponents often refer to as an “Apartheid wall,” and the film documents these protests. The 5 broken cameras in the movie’s title refer, according to Burnat, to five different cameras of his which have been broken by the Israelis in “brutal” attempts to squash the Arabs’ “non-violent” protests.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/01/egypts_intractable_dilemma.html Ibrahim Nawar, an outspoken advocate of press freedom in Araby, has just published (Thursday 1/10/13) a wistful lament in Al-Ahram about Egypt’s predicament since Mubarak was deposed, two years ago, till now. Although Nawar’s observations are overly (if understandably) sentimentalized, they contain critical, honest insights. Most importantly, Nawar accepts that Egypt has failed to […]

I visited my home and friends in Newtown, Connecticut last weekend-a town grappling for a return to normalcy after the unspeakable tragedy. It appears that this coming weekend teams of “grief counselors” are on their way to help victims’ friends and families.
I mentioned this to several women who are residents and teachers in the town. Their reaction was so interesting. To the person they all rejected the so called counseling, and unanimously voiced a preference for shooting lessons instead of psychobabble.
One of them just sent me this reminder:
“Know guns, know peace, know safety.
No guns, no peace, no safety.
