25% of British Muslims Say London Bombings “Justified”

Also, 45 percent “believe the 9/11 attacks on New York were a conspiracy between the United States and Israel,” and a “third of those questioned said they would rather live under Sharia law in the UK than British law.”

Sure, “most” Muslims are not terrorist sympathizers, but what do you do with the fact that such […]

Profiling

I found this via Iain Murray on The Corner:

Sometimes only a cartoonist can adequately express the foolishness of a situation. Matt, the Daily Telegraph’s cartoonist, is extremely good at this. His cartoon today on airport checks hits the nail on the head.

On the anniversary of the disengagement

Some of the Israeli Livebloggers have reflections on what took place a year ago today.

Greetings from the French Hill has this:

Life-saving Breasts

I have always been of the opinion that breast implants were just plain silly when done solely for cosmetic purposes (excluding reconstructive surgery). It’s just a little creepy. It also seems to my mind a symptom of extreme vanity and materialism and with no redeeming value to it.

As if we didn’t have enough to worry about…

“Why do they hate airplanes?”

Scrappleface asks: Why do they hate airplanes?

The expert panel will examine various theories about why airplanes engender such hatred among devoted followers of a peaceful religion. “Is it the horrendous noise? The speed? The condensation trails?” said one unnamed source close to the panel, listing some of the areas of […]

Religion of Death

I’ve been getting on to Mr. Ex for not writing on the blog lately. I guess work and general summer relaxation are more important. His typical response is “Why don’t YOU write something on the blog?” To which I reply “I don’t know what to write.” And then we drop the subject for […]
