TIME Mag Editor: Burning the Koran Is Worse Than Burning Bible

Ghosh/ Charlierose.com

Gateway Pundit  "Time Magazine world editor Bobby Ghosh told host MSNBC host Chuck Todd on Friday that burning the Koran is worse than burning the Bible. According to Gnosh, the Koran is directly from God, while the Bible isn’t."

Ghosh the Haditha "massacre" reporter  "Regular readers will recognize the name of the Muslim-born Aparisim ‘Bobby’ Ghosh.
"Mr. Ghosh, along with Tim McGirk gave us the ‘scoop’ libel that Marines had killed civilians in Haditha Iraq in cold blood. A report that turned out to be completely fabricated."  Hat tip to Rush Limbaugh

Afghan mob kills at least 12 UN workers in protest over Terry Jones’s Koran-burning

Hot Air  "“Wait,” you say, “since when did Terry Jones burn a Koran?” Turns out he did it 12 days ago after some sort of kangaroo court/mock trial. I didn’t know about it until today; apparently, after being savaged last fall for condemning Jones’s provocation while devoting saturation coverage to it, most of the national media wisely decided to ignore him this time. Most, but not all: Someone must have picked up the story because, by last Thursday, our “friend” Hamid Karzai had formally denounced Jones’s act. "

Koran-burning pastor says murders of UN staff aren’t his fault  "Should Jones have burned the Koran? No. But not because doing so might incite some evil people halfway around the world to commit atrocities against innocents. Rather, he shouldn’t have done it was needlessly hurtful without adding any value to the debate. Indeed, aside from generating publicity for himself, he’s likely generated sympathy for Islam and disdain for churches of his ilk."

Mark Steyn on Dead Jews – No News/ Graphic images

Maggie's Notebook  "CNN reported the story with quotation marks around ‘terror attacks,’ apparently question the fact that the murders are “terror,” or more clearly put, Islamic jihad. The New York Times gave only the barest details. A question for Democrats: How do you accept what your media silences? Really. How can you abide it? How can you allow your press to ignore this video?"

Elad Fogel before the Arabs came



Mark Steyn: Dead Jews Is No News "Today the delegitimization of Israel is all but universal: Indeed, these days Palestinian leaders pay more lip service to the “two-state solution” than Europeans. On Israel’s national day, prominent Britons of Jewish background write to The Guardian to deplore the existence of the Jewish state. And “Israeli Apartheid Week” is multiculti Toronto’s gift to the world."

Caroline Glick:  Our World: Three Jewish Children "Someone might consider the fact that in the Palestinian Authority, anti-Jewish propaganda is so ubiquitous and so murderous that killing the Fogel babies was an act of heroism. The baby killers knew that by murdering Udi, Ruth, Hadas, Yoav and Elad they would enter the pantheon of Palestinian heroes. They can expect to have a sports stadium or school in Ramallah or Hebron built for them by the Palestinian Authority and underwritten by American or European taxpayers.

Elad Fogel afterward.

"And indeed, the murder of the Fogel children and their parents was greeted with jubilation in Gaza.

"Carnivals were held in the streets as Hamas members handed out sweets."

Measuring Force

Thomas Sowell  "Too often in the past, going all the way back to the days of Woodrow Wilson, we have operated on the assumption that a bad government becomes better after the magic of "change." President Wilson said that we were fighting the First World War to make the way "safe for democracy." But what actually followed was the replacement of autocratic monarchies by totalitarian dictatorships that made previous despots pale by comparison.
"The most charitable explanation for President Obama's incoherent policy in Libya-- if incoherence can be called a policy -- is that he suffers from the long-standing blind spot of the left when it comes to the use of force" ....
"As for the national interests of the United States of America, Barack Obama has never shown any great concern about that."

Rep. Miller Introduces the LEAVE Act

Numbers USA  "...a comprehensive immigration enforcement bill that would require the use of E-Verify for all employers nationwide, end the practice of birthright citizenship, prohibit states from granting in-state tuition benefits to illegal aliens, increase the number of border patrol and immigration and customs enforcement agents, and assist local municipalities in the enforcement of federal immigration laws, among other things."
This will be demagogued* by liberals and the fact that it is supported by  the American Nazi Party should really make Democrat mouths water. Keep in mind that many of those against this measure are supporters of the Communist Party USA.

ABC's Jon Karl Touts Liberal Advocacy Group's Claim That 'Tea Party Darlings' Are 'Hypocrites'

Media Research Center  "Karl didn’t raise any concerns about hyping the claims of the EWG, an organization that, as Michelle Malkin pointed out in 2002, has railed against hair spray, playgrounds and the conservative journalist John Stossel. Instead, Karl chided these House GOP members for receiving federal money for farm subsidies."

When You Set Out to Take Vienna, Take Vienna!

Victor Davis Hanson "Why are we so eager to claim a U.N. sanction to American action when we have not introduced the matter to the U.S. Congress for approval? At least we can say of our Congress that its members were all elected, which we cannot say of many in the General Assembly and some in the Security Council. I’ll pass on the Arab League, but the president for some reason in his statements thinks it is more important to justify American military force through a vote of approval from non-democratic states than his own country’s legislature."

Libyan rebels say ready for conditional ceasefire

Ahram Online. "Libya's opposition is ready for a ceasefire provided Muammar Gaddafi's forces end their assaults on rebel-held cities, Transitional National Council leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil said Friday."

The Shores of Tripoli: Our Latest Wilsonian War  "On top of that is the oil question. While there are a lot of Americans who think war for oil is immoral, there are plenty more who think that oil, that necessary driver of our economy and the condition of our prosperity, is one of the few things worth fighting about — and a much better reason for war than helping to put one gang of thieves in while kicking another one out." Walter Russell Mead

US May Use Covert Action Against Gadhafi  "Covert action is any U.S. government effort to change the economic, military, or political situation overseas in a hidden way. Covert action can encompass many things, including propaganda, electoral manipulation, funding, arming and training insurgents, and even encouraging a coup.It is not clear what actions the CIA is taking or has been authorized to take in Libya. But the situation there is chaotic, with a ragtag rebel army in retreat from Colonel Gadhafi’s forces.
"Georgetown University Visiting Professor of Security Studies Jennifer Sims is a specialist in intelligence affairs. She says covert action should not be undertaken without a clear picture of who you are supporting and what the outcome will or should be."  GlobalSecurity.org

The April Fools' Day Defense Kit

Slate  "Shun the British press. The British tabloids make stories up all the time, but on April Fool's Day, everybody on Fleet Street fabricates."....
"Alex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes and expert on all things April Fools', advises that you finish reading articles before rushing into the next cubicle to spread the incredible news. Many hoax articles end with an obvious clue or an explanation that it's all a joke. Double-check all radio warnings of disasters—volcanic eruptions, floods, killer bee invasions—and question any story uncovering a new, onerous tax (say, on Linux)."

Branded an Idiot for Life  "This clothes company is offering 20% off their clothes if you tat yourself with their company logos. There will be idiots doing this. Remember the moron that was suckered into the forehead tattoo only to be told it was an April Fools joke?"

"Well, there is a joke to this too. In the fine print it says that the 20% off cannot be combined with any other offer, like these offers from the next page after the tat offer."
