Shorter Swiss Referendum Analysis

Referendum: "MUSLIMS = BAD"

Be frightened children! Their architecture is out to get us!

Eid Mubarak

Eid Mubarak to all of my readers! Obviously it is intended for the Muslim ones, but hey, if the non-Muslims want to be wished Eid Mubarak as well, I'm open to it.

This Eid provided me with some much-needed reminders about priorities. I hope you found some benefit in it too.

Sincerely,
TPI

Article: Instead of sending troops to Afghanistan, what should Obama do?

Obama needs to understand the texts, tenets, attitudes, and atmospherics of Islam, which were studied before 1970 by Western scholars who were experts in the texts, tenets, attitudes, and atmospherics of Islam, and thereby realize from his new knowledge of the texts, tenets, attitudes, and atmopherics of Islam that we should bomb Muslim countries back into the Stone Age, no matter what.

The Lesser Evil indeed.

I was going to post something about this, but a wise old man beat me to it.

If I were Stephen Harper, I would buy every Conservative MP a copy of Michael Ignatieff's navel-gazing exploration of our "new" security situation, complete with little sticky tabs to help them find good quotes to use on the floor of the House of Commons.

What makes me really sad about this story, though, aside from the suffering of the victims, is that the people who did the actual torturing were almost certainly Muslims. Petty, cruel, and venal, we are our own worst enemies.

Something to tide you over

Life has temporarily interrupted my ability to post my wisdom here, but have no fears, regular service will resume before long.

As my fan base, however, is doubtlessly jonesing now for another fix of The Proud Islamist, here is something to tide you over.
