		<description><![CDATA[Explaining the Islamic world's rage. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/0315.lahore.attack-300x203.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-196854" alt="0315.lahore.attack-300x203" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/0315.lahore.attack-300x203.jpg" width="282" height="203" /></a>In 2012 in Pakistan, as Christian children were <a href="http://tribune.com.pk/story/320644/children-attacked-church-wrecked-for-disturbing-prayers-with-carols/">singing carols inside their church</a>, Muslim men from a nearby mosque barged in with an axe, destroyed the furniture, desecrated the altar, and beat the children.  Their justification for such violence?  “You are disturbing our prayers…. <i>How dare you</i> use the mike and speakers?”</span></b></p>
<p>Welcome to the true face of “Muslim grievance”—what I call the “how dare you?!” phenomenon.  Remember it next time “progressive” media and politicians tell you that Muslim terrorism—whether the 9/11 strikes, Fort Hood Massacre, Boston Bombing, or recent <a href="http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/islams-rule-of-numbers-and-the-london-beheading/">London Beheading</a>—are products of <a href="http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3732/grievances-defense">grievances against the West</a>. Missing from their analyses is the <i>supremacist</i> nature of Muslim grievances.</p>
<p>The <i>Conditions of Omar</i>, a foundational medieval Muslim text, mandates this sense of superiority over non-Muslims.  Among other stipulations, the <i>Conditions</i> commands conquered Christians not to raise their “voices during prayer or readings in churches anywhere near Muslims” (hence the axe-attack in Pakistan).  It also commands them not to display any signs of Christianity—specifically Bibles and crosses—not to build churches, and not to criticize the prophet.</p>
<p>If the supremacist nature of Islamic law is still not clear enough, the <i>Conditions</i> literally command Christians to give up their seats to Muslims on demand.</p>
<p>By analogy, consider when black Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to white passengers in a white supremacist environment.  Sincere grievances arose: <i>how dare she </i>think herself our equal?</p>
<p>But were such grievances legitimate? Should they have been accommodated?</p>
<p>In my new book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1621570258/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1621570258&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=uhurnetw-20"><i>Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians</i></a>, I document hundreds of attacks on Christians. In most cases, the Muslim attackers are truly aggrieved.</p>
<p>For example, in 2007 in Turkey, a publishing house distributing Bibles was stormed and three of its Christian employees <a href="http://www.persecution.org/2007/04/25/turkish-believers-satanically-tortured-for-hours-before-being-killed/">tortured, disemboweled, and finally murdered</a>.  One suspect later said: “We didn’t do this for ourselves, but for our religion [Islam]…. Our religion is being destroyed.”</p>
<p>Similarly, in 2011 in Egypt, after a 17-year-old Christian student refused to obey his Muslim teacher’s orders to cover up his cross, the teacher and some Muslim students attacked, beat, and ultimately <a href="http://www.aina.org/news/20111030133621.htm">murdered the Christian teenager</a>.</p>
<p>These Turkish and Egyptian murderers were truly aggrieved: the <i>Conditions</i> clearly state that Christians must not “produce a cross or Bible” around Muslims. <i>How dare</i> the Egyptian student and Turkish Bible publishers refuse to comply?</p>
<p>In Indonesia, where it is becoming next to impossible for Christians to build churches, Christians congregated to celebrate Christmas, 2012, on empty land where they hoped to build a church—only to be attacked by Muslims who <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hcGG8SkueYeRJU6zKuJASwy4BFRw?docId=CNG.8df7074dd85e3e58011c244a706a4a0c.191">hurled cow dung and bags of urine</a> at the Christians as they prayed.</p>
<p>These Muslims were also sincerely aggrieved: <i>how dare</i> these Christians think they can build a church when the <i>Conditions</i> forbid it?  (See <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1621570258/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1621570258&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=uhurnetw-20"><i>Crucified Again</i></a> for a new translation of “The Conditions of Omar.)</p>
<p>Weeks ago in Pakistan,<b> </b>after a Christian man was accused of insulting Muslim prophet Muhammad—another big no-no according to the <i>Conditions</i>—3,000 Muslims burned down two churches and some 200 Christian homes.</p>
<p>Take a look <a href="http://www.asianews.it/news-en/160-houses-and-2-churches-burnt-in-Lahore:-photos-27383.html">at their pictures</a>; these are undoubtedly people with a “grievance.”</p>
<p>Most recently in Pakistan, when a Muslim slapped a Christian and the latter reciprocated, the Muslim exclaimed “<a href="http://tribune.com.pk/story/559776/equal-before-law-how-dare-a-christian-slap-me/">How dare a Christian slap me</a>?” Anti-Christian violence immediately commenced.</p>
<p>In short, anytime non-Muslims dare to overstep their Sharia-designated “inferior” status, supremacist Muslims become violently aggrieved.</p>
<p>From here, one can begin to understand the ultimate Muslim grievance: Israel.</p>
<p>For if “infidel” Christians are deemed inferior and attacked for exercising their basic human rights, like freedom of worship by aggrieved Muslims, how must Muslims feel about Jews—the descendants of pigs and apes, according to the Koran—exercising power and authority over fellow Muslims in what is perceived to be Muslim land?</p>
<p><i>How dare they</i>?!</p>
<p>Of course, if grievances against Israel were really about justice and displaced Palestinians, Muslims—and their Western appeasers—would be aggrieved by the fact that <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/05/07/mass-exodus-christians-from-muslim-world/">millions of Christians are currently being displaced by Muslim invaders</a>.</p>
<p>Needless to say, they are not.</p>
<p>So the next time you hear that Muslim rage and terrorism are products of grievance, remember that this is absolutely true.  But these “grievances” are not predicated on any universal standards of equality or justice, only a supremacist worldview.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Good riddance to Gregory Jaczko. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/135846542-3661.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-132827" title="135846542-3661" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/135846542-3661.gif" alt="" width="375" height="254" /></a>The embattled chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission resigned this week. It&#8217;s a victory for Republican oversight on Capitol Hill, women and sound science. But it&#8217;s also a lesson in the futility of Bush-era bipartisanship. When you cut deals with bullies, it&#8217;s a timeless and bitter recipe for more bullying.</p>
<p>Gregory Jaczko served as appropriations director and science policy adviser to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., before joining the NRC in 2005. The anti-nuclear advocate was sworn in by his brass-knuckled boss and protector, Reid, who pressured the Bush administration to appoint him as a condition for moving through any other NRC nominations.</p>
<p>The GOP rolled. Reid and Jaczko rampaged. And President Obama — doing the thing he does best — made matters abysmally worse.</p>
<p>Reid connived to install Jaczko at the NRC to carry on their shared crusade against the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste facility in Nye County, Nev. Despite assurances that he would recuse himself, Jaczko proceeded to meddle aggressively in the issue. After the Obama administration named Jaczko chairman of the safety panel in 2009, all hell broke loose — and then some.</p>
<p>Out of fear that researchers would confirm positive safety data, Jaczko ordered NRC staff to halt a technical evaluation of Yucca Mountain. Then he used the lack of data to order a complete work stoppage on the long-obstructed project. Last summer, the NRC inspector general determined that Jaczko &#8220;strategically withheld&#8221; information from the rest of the panel, manipulated agendas and &#8220;was not forthcoming about his intent&#8221; to shut down Yucca by any means necessary.</p>
<p>He kept the panel in the dark on other matters, too. After the Fukushima meltdown in Japan, Jaczko ordered his staff to hoard safety findings and keep them from other commissioners while he made unilateral policy decisions against their will.</p>
<p>In the course of his investigation, the NRC inspector general heard from numerous commission staffers about Jaczko&#8217;s &#8220;unprofessional behavior&#8221; and outburst of anger that created an &#8220;intimidating workplace environment.&#8221; The report said Jaczko told investigators he &#8220;regretted&#8221; his temper tantrums.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[How Islamic rage fuels more Islamic rage.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/muhammad-cartoon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61033" title="muhammad cartoon" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/muhammad-cartoon.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>With last Thursday’s “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day,” which began on Facebook but spread to anti-jihad sites all over the Internet, Muhammad cartoons are now everywhere &#8212; and Muslims are outraged. The government of Pakistan shut down Facebook and YouTube, but that didn’t pacify the thousands of Pakistanis who took to the streets to protest against drawings of Muhammad that they could not have seen even if they had wanted to.</p>
<p>One protester held a sign bearing a threat: “Facebook, do not try our patience/STOP your coward activity.” Others shared a large banner reading: “We are ready to sacrifice on [sic] our beloved holy prophet.”</p>
<p>So far there have been no new riots or killings to rival the immediate aftermath of the publication of the original cartoons of Muhammad in a Danish newspaper in September 2005. After the Organization of the Islamic Conference decided at its meeting in Mecca in December 2005 to use the cartoons as an object lesson in the perils of Western secularism, Islamic rage against the cartoons began to boil over all around the world. At least 139 people were killed and 823 were injured over the next few months in Muslim riots against the cartoons.</p>
<p>Another, perhaps even more ominous response to those cartoons was the beginning of the OIC’s anti-free speech campaign &#8212; an attempt to compel the West to criminalize criticism of Islam and accept Sharia restrictions on non-Muslims speaking about Islam. In 2008, the Secretary General of the OIC, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, issued a peremptory threat of his own: “We sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed” regarding free speech about Islam and jihad terrorism.</p>
<p>Yet while the government and media elites in America and Europe have generally rushed to show how willing, even eager, they are to show that they will not cross those red lines, their supine response to this assault on free speech has created a backlash among free people. It is worth bearing in mind the “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” would never have aroused much interest among anyone if cartoons of Muhammad <em>didn’t</em> arouse Muslims worldwide to homicidal rage and attempts to restrict the freedom of speech.</p>
<p>While it may in other circumstances simply be obnoxious, or legitimately (not to say to an extent justifying murder) offensive to lampoon someone else’s cherished religious leader, the Muslim reaction to Infidel cartoons of Muhammad is entirely itself responsible for the interest Infidels have in lampooning the Islamic prophet in the first place. If Christians had reacted to Andres Serrano’s <em>Piss Christ</em> or Chris Ofili’s dung-encrusted portrait of the Virgin Mary with the same murderous outrage with which Muslims greeted the cartoons of Muhammad, the West would be experiencing a glut of pictures blaspheming Christ and Christianity.</p>
<p>It is, in the first place, an irresistible human impulse to tweak the humorless and self-important; it can in many cases also be a healthy safeguard against tyranny. The figure that cannot be mocked or ridiculed is the one that holds all the cards, all the power. Opposition, dissent, free exchange of ideas depend upon the ability to cause offense without taking one’s life in one’s hands. That&#8217;s why the Muhammad cartoons published last week all over the Internet were not an exercise in obnoxiousness or gratuitous offense. They are, rather, the foremost battleground in the defense of the freedom of speech today. Every newspaper in the country should be printing them today, to show they are not cowed and will defend free speech.</p>
<p>It is useful to recall some of the earliest reactions to Cartoon Rage: Carsten Juste, the editor-in-chief of <em>Jyllands-Posten,</em> the Danish newspaper that published the original Muhammad cartoons, refused to apologize for publishing them: “We live in a democracy. That’s why we can use all the journalistic methods we want to. Satire is accepted in this country, and you can make caricatures. Religion shouldn’t set any barriers on that sort of expression. This doesn’t mean that we wish to insult any Muslims.” Cultural editor Flemming Rose concurred: “Religious feelings,” he declared, “cannot demand special treatment in a secular society. In a democracy one must from time to time accept criticism or becoming a laughingstock.”</p>
<p>And so now with “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day,” the prophet of Islam has indeed become a laughingstock – albeit those who mocked him last week did so with what was ultimately a very serious purpose. The Muslims who fulminated against the cartoons have only themselves to thank – or curse.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[What the Grey Lady won't tell you about professor Amy Bishop.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bishop1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-51443" title="bishop" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bishop1.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="347" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Visit <a href="http://www.newsrealblog.com/">Newsreal</a></strong><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21bishop.html" target="_blank"><em></em></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/us/21bishop.html" target="_blank"><em>The New York Times</em>’ front page profile</a> on Saturday of professor Amy Bishop, who allegedly executed three University of Alabama Biology Department colleagues after being denied tenure, appears to be an exhaustively reported piece based on “numerous interviews with colleagues and others who knew her.” It portrays Bishop as violent and unpredictable, rejected by Harvard because of mediocre work and shunned by a series of neighbors and co-workers scared off by the suppressed rage that kept bubbling up to the surfaces of her social life, and also someone who may already have gotten away with the murder of her brother years earlier possibly because of her mother’s political connections in her home town of Braintree, Mass.</p>
<div>
<p>“Between brilliance and rage” is the caption of the photo of Bishop used by the<em> Times</em> for the story, although the piece makes no case for the former.  But is this all the news that is fit to print about the perpetrator of this murder spree in academe?  What about the “family source” who told the Boston Herald that Bishop was,</p>
<blockquote><p>“<a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=144&amp;type=issue" target="_blank">a far left</a> political activist who was ‘obsessed’ with <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1511" target="_blank">President Obama</a> to the point of being off putting”?</p></blockquote>
<p>What about the student who called her a <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=115&amp;type=issue" target="_blank">“socialist”</a>? What about one report that Bishop complained about a rule issued by University  of Alabama administrators regarding underclassmen living on campus because she believed it was destructive of “diversity.”  And what about the crowning irony of this case, whether or not she made this complaint: that two of the colleagues she allegedly killed were black and one was South Asian, and that Bishop thus wiped out the 14 person Biology department’s entire diversity in one burst of gunfire?</p>
<p>Considering the politics of Bishop’s <em>ressentiment</em> might have helped fill out the Times’ portrait of a psychopathic time bomb who had already gone off several times in her disordered life on her way to the Big Explosion on February 12 in Huntsville. There is no doubt, as the blogosphere has already noted, that the paper would have pursued even the vaguest hint that Bishop had been a fan of Glenn Beck or was a Tea Party fellow traveler as a major story line. For the Grey Lady, only the politics of the Right is personal.</p>
