DIANA WEST: TAKING A TRIP DOWN APOLOGY LANE

http://dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2040/Taking-a-Trip-Down-Apology-Lane.aspx

Just in case the groveling apologies of Barack Hussein Obama and USMC Gen. John R. Allen for burning a few Mein Kampfs of the jihad movement, as the late and lamented Oriana Fallaci used to call the Koran, have anyone nostalgic for George W. Bush and his commanders, let’s recall one reason this story is so deja-vu-all-over-again.

Back in May 2008, a US sniper in Iraq used a Koran for target practice. Remember? I wrote quite a bit about that incident and its repercussions. Highlights included a presidential apology to Iranian stooge Maliki via teleconference, and a drenching wallow from Major General Jeffrey Hammond, commander of US forces in Baghdad, in which he called the shooting (of a book) “a criminal act.” Criminal according to what law? Not ours. Islamic law.

ANDREW McCARTHEY: THE SHARIA COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA PART 1

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291881

A state judge in Pennsylvania has dismissed an assault and harrassment case against a Muslim defendant who admitted attacking the victim. Magistrate Judge Mark Martin, a veteran of the war in Iraq and a convert to Islam, ruled that Talag Elbayomy’s sharia defense — what he claimed was his obligation to strike out against any insult against the prophet Mohammed — trumped the First Amendment free speech rights of the victim.

Yes, you read that correctly.

There will be much more to say about this. For now, you can find details, here, including the YouTube recording of Judge Martin hectoring the assault victim, Ernie Perce, an activist atheist who paraded last October in a “Zombi Mohammed” costume. Before dismissing the case, Martin lectured Perce about the principles of Islam and the tender sensibilities of Muslims, calling him a “dufus” for failing to appreciate same.

In 27 years of trying and analyzing legal cases, this performance is as shocking and disgraceful as anything I’ve ever seen from an American trial judge.

MARILYN PENN: SELF INFLICTED WOUNDS

http://politicalmavens.com/ In its most flagrant example of Orwellian language inversion, the Times of Feb. 24th refers to the murder of two American soldiers as “self-inflicted wounds.”  Not that the soldiers themselves chose to court their own killings, but that the military’s decision to burn discarded copies of the Koran was “shockingly insensitive.”  Of course the […]

YORAM ETTINGER: PALESTINIANS AND ARAB POLICY

ARAB THROW ROCKS NEAR TEMPLE MOUNT AT A GROUP INCLUDING 40 AMERICAN LEADERS AND TWO CONGRESSMEN

Two US Congressmen Caught in Arab Rock Throwing Near Temple Mount: YORI YANOVER
A rock throwing Arab mob attacked on Friday, in front of a mosque in the Ras Al-Amud neighborhood, a group that included Congressmen Elliot Engel and Jerald Nadler. The two legislators from New York State were on tour of the Mount of Olives Cemetery, along with Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations Malcolm Hoenlein, and Rabbis Abraham and Menachem Lubinsky, founders of the International Committee for the Preservation of Har HaZeitim. Their tour, which included some 40 Jewish American leaders, was guided by JewishPress.com Managing Editor Yishai Fleisher.

Earlier, following Friday prayers, hundreds of worshippers hurled rocks at the Mughrabi Bridge at the entrance to the Temple Mount, and dozens gathered inside the Al-Aqsa mosque. Israeli police forces entered the plaza and attempted to stop the violent protest. Several policemen were injured.

Jerusalem District chief Nisso Shaham blamed the ongoing Friday’s riots on a poster announcing a Temple Mount visit by Likud member Moshe Feiglin, which was originally scheduled for ten days ago. The poster itself was a fake

Muslim leaders have been actively inciting their followers over the past month to “protect Al-Asqa”.

In response to the attack, Malcolm Hoenlein said he will be launching a campaign to “retake the Mount of Olives cemetery for the Jewish people.”

The oldest and largest Jewish cemetery in the world, the Mt. of Olives is subjected to non-stop violence against visitors, grave descriptions, an unlawful mosque expansion, illegal building – all part of a concerted Arab effort to assert control over the burial site used by Jews for 3,000 years.
