* Are you a moderate Muslim in charge of a newspaper in a Muslim country? If so, you might have to die.
* Augean Stables Al Durah trial roundup.
* Pamela passes on this disturbing news from YouTube. Crusader18 tried to post an admittedly not-exactly-nonviolent “US Marines vs Insurgents” video, and YT pulled it and suspended his account. Which is exactly what happened when Jihad4U posted videos of jihadists murdering American soldiers, except without all that inconvenient video-getting-pulled or account-getting-suspended stuff.
* Speaking of Pamela: little bit scary. Just a wee bit. Wonderful and wholesome and fighting the good fight. But li’l bit scary. Obligatory link to Phish Bowl bikini vlog remix.
* Boker Tov Boulder’s got a story that’s not getting enough attention:
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Thursday was trying to settle a flap over a potentially damaging claim made earlier in the day by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad said Annan had told him Iran could ignore a Security Council resolution requiring the country to cease enriching uranium by Aug. 31 or face economic sanctions.
Anne wants to know “who’s lying?” We think they’re both lying.
* Well sure it’s an animated Happy New Year from people who want to nuke Israel. But is it art?
* There is exactly one group of people on the planet who have not heard that Reuters Green Helmet photos are not examples of massive Israeli atrocities, but rather examples of massive anti-Israel bias. That group of people is the United Nations. We suggest to you that this is not a coincidence.
* JPundit UN rally roundup. Might as well go and read it (and follow the links and read those posts too). It’s not like you’re going to find out about it by reading the New York Times. One Jerusalem has tape.
* Militant Muslims are now threatening Norway. Why Norway? Oh, dear readers, how misguided you are. The better question is: why not Norway?
* Liberal Jews are such effing idiots sometimes.
* CITGO = HUGO. There will be a test on this later.
* Why do all the really good trolls hang out on Meryl’s site? She gets idiots rolling ‘God takes no position for or against Hitler wannabes’, and all we get is email about how Jews who love Israel should get out of the US. Lucky girl. Lucky girl with a potty mouth, but a lucky girl nonetheless.
* Islamists are threatening to crucify the Pope. Mel Gibson is so confused right now.
* Israel at Level Ground on female infantry soldiers who help bust extensive sex-slave networks of suppliers and smugglers. No, we’re not going to make the joke about how that’s a good chunk of the Muslim world. You racist.
* Islamic women who have to cover themselves in black from head to toe (even their eyes (!!)) want you to know that they think the Pope is evil for claiming that there’s something anti-modern about Islam.
* We are going to link to an American Thinker article that is not by MR-first-alternate-stalkee Clarice Feldman. It is by Michael Curran, and it is about why the Electoral College is a good idea. Don’t worry – we’re sure it’s just a phase we’re going through.
