Where is the outrage of ‘ordinary’ Muslims?

Sixty-two dead, untold injured in a Nairobi, Kenya, Mall; not shot ‘indiscriminately’ – Muslims were allowed to leave, if they could recite verses from the Koran. Eighty-one dead and untold injured in a suicide attack on a Christian church in Peshawar, Pakistan. When shall we see ‘ordinary’ Muslims... Sign in to see full entry.

If you want to know what’s really going on in Syria...

...then you have to come here, since I am keeping myself informed on what happening on the Syrian front. The front?

Meanwhile, in Syria...

By now we all know about Syria, although we certainly don’t know all about Syria. We do know that someone tossed sarin gas, but we’re still not entirely sure who done it. The W.H. Amateur says it was Assad, the Russians say it was the ‘rebels’. Do I trust the Russians? No! But that doesn’t mean I... Sign in to see full entry.

And here’s the latest out of Egypt...

Curfew in Delga, an Islamist-held town where Christians cannot live This morning, the army entered some of the town's districts only thanks to air cover.

About ‘generic’ terrorists...Part III

The Koran is a pastiche of ideas and literal borrowings (the notion of ‘plagiarism’ is a modern one and doesn’t apply in the ancient world) from the Torah, the New Testament and Zoroastrian writings, cobbled together by a number of authors. In addition, it is a reflection of 7 th century Arab... Sign in to see full entry.

About ‘generic’ terrorists...Part II

As all of you have probably realized – my category of ‘generic’ terrorists is intended as irony. It simply draws on the by now familiar phenomenon of ‘generic’ or ‘no-name’ products being sold at lower prices than their ‘brand-name’ counterparts, be they drugs, cheese or canned beans.

About ‘generic’ terrorists...Part I

A few posts ago I made reference to ‘generic’ terrorists, which prompted a question from adnohr. She writes: “I would really like information on the generic terrorists,” and since I’m always at least trying to be helpful, I’ll give it a shot, if briefly. You’ve heard of the Unicorn?
