• King: Imam behind Ground Zero-area mosque 'blackmailing' U.S. on project.The ranking member on the House Homeland Security Committee accused the imam behind the mosque project near Ground Zero of arm-twisting and "blackmailing" to push Park51 through."To me, it's almost as if he's blackmailing and threatening the United States that somehow if the mosque is not approved or people speak out against his mosque, you have to worry about being attacked by Islamic terrorists," Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf on Fox Business Network on Friday.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• The Sides are Picked.Burn a Bible. No big deal. Tear down a church. That's just islamic law. Kill a Jew. Look the other way. Rape a Christian woman. She had it coming.Burn a Koran. There will be rioting and killing. Draw a picture of Mohammad. There will be rioting and killing. Be incensed by the building of a mosque in a certain location. There will be rioting and killing.Anyone else notice a difference? A man who leads a "church" of 50 people gets international press coverage. A man who leads a mosque of thousands is treated as royalty. An extremist claiming to be Christian gets to be the representative of all Christianity. An extremist in islam has hijacked the religion.A Christian blows up an abortion clinic and all Christianity is castigated and the men is sent to jail for life. An Islamist incites people to kill in the name of allah and he must be negotiated with and understood.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Scientists Find Thick Layer Of Oil On Seafloor.Scientists on a research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico are finding a substantial layer of oily sediment stretching for dozens of miles in all directions. Their discovery suggests that a lot of oil from the Deepwater Horizon didn't simply evaporate or dissipate into the water — it has settled to the seafloor."I've collected literally hundreds of sediment cores from the Gulf of Mexico, including around this area. And I've never seen anything like this," she said in an interview via satellite phone from the boat.Joye describes seeing layers of oily material — in some places more than 2 inches thick — covering the bottom of the seafloor."It's very fluffy and porous. And there are little tar balls in there you can see that look like microscopic cauliflower heads," she says.It's very clearly a fresh layer. Right below it she finds much more typical seafloor mud. And in that layer, she finds recently dead shrimp, worms and other invertebrates.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• HT:WeaselZippers.Outraged Muslims Burn Effigy of Florida Pastor Terry Jones in Kabul Dearborn, Michigan.Chanting “burn, baby, burn,” a group of Muslims in Dearborn lit ablaze Friday night effigies of Pastor Terry Jones of Florida and Osama bin Laden in a protest against religious extremism.Led by Dearborn attorney Majed Moughni, the group burned a pair of dolls holding hands that were dressed up to represent Jones, the Florida pastor who has plans to burn Qurans, and of Osama bin Laden, the terrorist behind the Sept. 11 attacks.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Obama backing off strict crime policy.For years, it was one of the GOP’s most potent political epithets – labeling a Democrat “soft on crime.”But the Obama White House has taken the first steps in decades to move away from a strict lock-‘em-up mentality on crime – easing sentences for crack cocaine possession, launching a top-to-bottom review of sentencing policies and even sounding open to reviewing guidelines that call for lengthy prison terms for people convicted of child pornography offenses.Obama also faces one factor Clinton did not: race. While 58 percent of federal inmates are white, Berman said some Americans are sure to have the perception that an African-American president is aiding criminals of his own race."The devil will always protect his own?"Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• HT:TundraTabloids.Organisation of the Islamic conference republishes Pig Mohmmed on it's website.Tundra Tabloids has discovered that the OIC's website has returned the "Pig Mohammed" picture to its original place on its pages archiving examples of "Islamophobia". So it's clear that the OIC hadn't made a mistake in printing "Pig Mohammed", nope, they only removed it due to the brouhaha the Tundra Tabloids created by drawing attention to what appears a classic case of hypocrisy.So you see, the media need not fear in publishing pictures of Mohamed, the OIC has set the example, more than once for the rest of us to follow. Just remember, they publish the picture of Pig Mohammed because it serves the cause of Islam, while still demanding that all non-Muslims refrain from doing so themselves. Of course it's gross hypocrisy but they don't view it as such, because that's the mind of a supremacist Muslim. Waiting for the media to pick up on this story.Read and see the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Doomsday warnings of US economic apocalypse gain ground.Some 65% of Americans believe there will be a new recession, according to a latest poll.The guru of this doomsday line of thinking may be economist Nouriel Roubini, thrust into the forefront after predicting the chaos wrought by the subprime mortgage crisis and the collapse of the housing bubble."The US has run out of bullets," Roubini told an economic forum in Italy earlier this month. "Any shock at this point can tip you back into recession."But other economists, who have so far stayed out of the media limelight, are also proselytising nightmarish visions of the future. Boston University professor Laurence Kotlikoff, who warned as far back as the 1980s of the dangers of a public deficit, lent credence to such dark predictions in an International Monetary Fund publication last week.He unveiled a doomsday scenario - which many dismiss as pure fantasy - of an economic clash between superpowers the United States and China, which holds more than $843 billion of US Treasury bonds.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• Saudi diplomat seeking asylum: 'My life is in danger'.Envoy says he fears persecution if he leaves the U.S. and returns home. The diplomat, Ali Ahmad Asseri, the first secretary of the Saudi consulate in Los Angeles, has informed U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials that Saudi officials have refused to renew his diplomatic passport and effectively terminated his job after discovering he was gay and was close friends with a Jewish woman.In a recent letter that he posted on a Saudi website, Asseri angrily criticized his country’s “backwardness” as well as the role of “militant imams” in Saudi society who have “defaced the tolerance of Islam.” Perhaps most provocatively of all, he has threatened to expose what he describes as politically embarrassing information about members of the Saudi royal family living in luxury in the U.S.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

• HT:IsraelMatzav.Obumbler calls for freeze extension, Israel says NO!So much for 'no preconditions.' On Friday, President Obama called for an unlimited extension of the 'settlement freeze.' At a press conference in Washington on Friday, US President Barack said he had told Netanyahu that since the talks were, so far, moving forward, “it makes sense to extend that moratorium so long as the talks are moving in a constructive way.Israel Radio reported at 1:00 am (daylight time) that a 'diplomatic source' stated that there will be no extension of the freeze and that Obama was told that before Netanyahu came to Washington. The freeze was a one-time concession that was made to get the 'Palestinians' to the table, and Israel does not have to keep making concessions to keep the 'Palestinians' there.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Bob Old and the Rev. Danny Allen both had different reasons for burning the Muslim holy book, but they said it had nothing to do with whether or not a mosque was built near ground zero."It's about faith, it's about love, but you have to have the right book behind you. This is a book of hate, not a book of love," said Old while holding up a Quran.Read the whole story here.Click here for comments.

• Are Congo Rape Victims More Important than Mutilated Muslim Women?Radical feminists place human rights violations against women on a Caste System, making Congo rape victims more important than mutilated Muslim women.Despite documented mutilations against Muslim women, African women are leftist’s violated favorites.Victimized Muslim women only gain status and support from Feminazis when it helps glamourize anti-war/anti-capitalist/anti-American causes. Even then, they are viewed as nothing more than the creation of George W. Bush.African and Muslim women are brutally violated.Congo war lords use rape as the suppressive “weapon of choice.” Islamic men use mutilation as the weapon of control.Women in Islamic countries are committing suicide in record numbers,because “Sharia never abolished slavery, sexual slavery and highly regulates it.” Congo rape is not abolished, yet Femifascists are on the warpath to end it, while disregarding Islamic mutialtion as western propaganda.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.
