Dark Knight killer James Holmes 'is now a Muslim who prays five times a day'

UK Mail  "James Holmes, the gunman behind the Dark Knight massacre in Colorado last July, has reportedly turned Muslim and prays five times a day.
"The killer showed off a lengthy, thick beard during a court appearance earlier this month, and a prison source has claimed it is a symbol of his new-found faith.
"The source said Holmes has turned to Islam as a way of justifying his horrific murder spree in an Aurora, Colorado cinema on July 20 which left 12 people dead and 58 people wounded."


Debbie Schlussel posts this: Alhamdillulllah [Praise Allah]: “Dark Knight” Murderer James Holmes Converted to Islam  "Last summer, when James Holmes murdered 12 people and seriously injured 58 others at a Batman “Dark Knight” screening in Aurora, Colorado, I got a number of nasty e-mails, tweets on Twitter, and Facebook comments from Muslims who were proud to proclaim that Holmes was not a Muslim, even though I never accused him of being one. On the other hand, Muslims believe that we are all supposed to be Muslim or have a Muslim soul or some other sort of halal baloney. And, so, perhaps it’s fitting that James Holmes has “reverted.” "

....He has brainwashed himself into believing he was on his own personal jihad and that his victims were infidels,’ a prison source told the National Enquirer.

 "Um, no, Islam brainwashes people into believing that.

Obama Preaches to the Israeli Choir

Roger L Simon  "But the overwhelming message of the speech, its theme, was an importuning of young Israelis to make sacrifices for peace.  Those sacrifices were, not surprisingly, unspecified,....
"There was only one problem: it was delivered to the wrong audience.
Israeli students are almost all ready to make some sort of compromise for peace. Indeed if peace were really a prospect, I would bet most of them would be fairly weeping for joy.
"The trouble is — they don’t have anyone to make peace with. On the Palestinian side, nobody is home. ...  Hamas is a collection of religious sociopaths and the Palestinian Authority is composed of corrupt cowards who were unwilling to negotiate even after the supposedly bellicose Netanyahu suspended settlement building a couple of years ago."

And you will notice, as Mr. Simon points out, Obama made no apologies to this audience.

"That “walk a mile in their shoes” talk is more than a little condescending.   Most young Israelis I would wager have plenty of empathy for the Palestinians. The problem is the other way around.  Few Palestinians have demonstrated much empathy of any sort toward Israelis. (Watch their television shows.)"

From Affirmative Action to Diversity

Victor Davis Hanson   "Sometime in the new millennium, "global warming" evolved into "climate change." Amid growing controversies over the planet's past temperatures, Al Gore and other activists understood that human-induced "climate change" could better explain almost any weather extremity — droughts or floods, too much heat or cold, hurricanes and tornadoes.

"Similar verbal gymnastics have gradually turned "affirmative action" into "diversity" — a word ambiguous enough to avoid the innate contradictions of a liberal society affirming illiberal racial preferencing."

Reminder: That incandescent light bulb ban was not a good idea

Hot Air  "Why? Not merely because government directives might forcibly funnel consumer demand, investment, and R&D toward a product that really isn’t ready for mass consumption, but also because, no matter how great their intentions might be, the free market is always better than politicians at picking efficient solutions. The free market’s only bias is in appealing to people’s rational self-interest; i.e., if people figure out that Product A is more expensive or of lower quality than comparable substitute Product B, people will buy Product B."
Well duuuhhh. Only a government bureaucrat would fail to figure that out.

The 50 percent solution; How we can get the fiscal Holy Grail — tax and entitlement reform all at once

Charles Krauthammer;  ….“Republicans are adamantly opposed. No more revenues, Mr. President. You got your tax hike on Jan. 1.

“Is there a solution? Yes: tax reform with a twist.

“The problem begins with definitions. By tax reform, Obama means eliminating deductions, exclusions, credits of various kinds with all the money going to the Treasury.

“That’s radically new. The historic 1986 Reagan-O’Neill tax reform closed loopholes with no extra money going to the Treasury. The new revenue went directly back to the citizenry in the form of lower tax rates.”….

ObamaCare, the caged beast about to be unleashed

Mona Charen: As Obamacare becomes more unpopular, Republicans should be ready with an alternative. "The battle over health-care reform is not over. Yes, the 2012 election ensured that the law would not be repealed and replaced in 2013. But when the American people are unhappy with a policy, they find a way to alter it. Republicans can tie themselves in knots and consider abandoning their principles on abortion, taxes, immigration, or marriage (and perhaps some of those positions require rethinking), but the health-care issue is pitched right over home plate."
