Hate Crime Amendment to Broaden Scope

Democrats are attaching a hate crimes amendment (the Kennedy/Smith amendment) to the Defense Authorization working its way now through Congress. As it stands now, included in the amendment is language that some pastors fear would result in their being prosecuted for preaching critically (and scripturally) against homosexuality. Sound ridiculous? Yes it does, but pastors have, in fact, been prosecuted in some foreign countries. Byron York has more.

Obsession, the Documentary, Is Controversial in the Academy

Obsession, is a vitally important documentary. Using video footage from Arab television, Obsession describes how too many Muslims are indoctrinated into the Islamic Jihad movement. Also depicted, is the historical connection between Nazism and the jihadis. I own a DVD of the movie, and I recommend that all Americans view this important film. I believe that our survival as a country is at stake in our war against radical Islam.

Obsession, the movie, is finally beginning to get some attention.

Israel May Have to Do US Heavy Lifting

Some high level Israeli officials are saying that if the world will not stop Iran from acquiring nukes, then Israel will act alone to prevent it:

Macsmind: That’s what I said last year. Israel is simply not going to wait until the international do-nothings decide to do nothing. They have a stake.

American Spectator: If it comes to this, let's hope that the Olmert government can do a better job than it did against Hezbollah.

Ace of Spades Headquarters: I doubt it. They don't have the firepower and if they can't stomach a fight against Hezballah, how can they be seriously thinking about taking on Iran? It's nice to think that we can get some tiny beseiged country to do our work for us, but this sounds like more bluster.

Apostasy

Andrew G. Bostom at The American Thinker has long and detailed post about Hirsi Ali the Somalia born, Dutch politician who left Islam behind:

Leaving Islam can be hazardous. Apostasy is a capital crime in a number of Islamic countries. But even in elite conservative circles in the United States, there is a tendency to dismiss or at least ignore some important former Muslims who have a lot to teach us about their former faith, as we face an era in which religious war on the West has been declared by radical Islam.

Maybe This Explains Wacko Stuff on Campuses

LGF links to a New York Sun article detailing Saudi grants to Columbia University's Middle East Institute. That would go miles toward explaining the anti-semitism activities on US campuses I've read about in the last couple of years.
