Why Apologize to Afghanistan?By Andrew C. McCarthy http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291925 We have officially lost our minds. The New York Times reports that President Obama has sent a formal letter of apology to Afghanistan’s ingrate president, Hamid Karzai, for the burning of Korans at a U.S. military base. The only upside of the apology is that it appears (based […]
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ THE LIFE OF A KORAN What is worth more in the eyes of Obama, an American soldier or a Koran? We all got the answer to that when after an Afghan soldier murdered two American soldiers, Obama apologized to the Afghan government because their already defaced Korans were not properly respected, venerated, kissed and […]

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.

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.
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/291921/sharia-court-pennsylvania-transcript-andrew-c-mccart I have made a transcript of the Pennsylvania case in which state judge Mark Martin, a Muslim convert and U.S. Army reservist who served in Iraq, relied on a sharia law defense (as well as some evidentiary contortions) to dismiss an open-and-shut harassment case against a Muslim man who assaulted an atheist activist at […]

Filner’s proposal is a “pig in a poke”, experience and science not supporting his drastic change in military training. But, Filner is running for mayor of San Diego and this […]
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 […]
http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=1434 U.S. President Barack Obama assumes that the Palestinian issue is a root cause of Middle East turbulence, the crown jewel of Arab policy-making and the crux of the Arab-Israeli conflict. He maintains that the resolution of the Palestinian issue would moderate the Middle East, facilitating the formation of a U.S.-Arab coalition against Iran. On […]
