Chabad massacre: They did try to kill the baby
I have not written about the Mumbai terrorist attack for a variety of reasons. There is a half-finished essay that is waiting for the right words before you can see it. One of the things I wondered was why the … Continue reading
Water out of thin air
There’s the high tech way of doing it. The technology, Bar tells ISRAEL21c, works in three steps: first is the absorption of air’s humidity, then the removal of water from a solid desiccant (silica based gel granules) which holds the … Continue reading
Do they CAIR?
Powerline notes, “Muslims ‘Worry About Image’” and conclude: So far, most of the world’s Muslims haven’t been embarrassed enough to take any significant action to reform their religion. They have, I think, a remarkably high threshold of embarrassment. (via Instapundit) … Continue reading
Haveil Havalim
The Thanks and Giving edition of Haveil Havalim is up. I’m sure the New York Times editorial board will find something as horrifying in Haveil Havalim as they did in the video of Sarah Palin’s interview on a turkey farm. … Continue reading
AP defines “personal struggle” as “holy war”
That’s funny. I keep hearing all those Arab groups saying that jihad means “personal struggle,” and yet, the AP managed to translate it from an Al Qaeda tape as “holy war.” Al-Zawahri did not threaten specific attacks, but warned Obama … Continue reading

The jihad against blasphemy starts with interfaith understanding
Irony pervades this lead paragraph: Saudi Arabia, the oil-rich Islamic kingdom that forbids the public practice of other religious faiths, will preside Wednesday over a two-day U.N. conference on religious tolerance that will draw more than a dozen world leaders, … Continue reading
Iran ERA Watch
Iranian feminism, Islamic-style: Women can be as free as they want—as long as there are no men around. A woman clad in a red T-shirt plays an Iranian drum in a Tehran park as her teenage daughter dances nearby, her … Continue reading
Haveil Havalim #190 is UP!
Whoops I’ve been remiss, Haveil Havalim #190 is up at Jewlicious. It’s the Jewish blogging carnival with a ‘tude. Check it out.
“You’re converted”
Remember a few years ago when there were two Orthodox Jews on the Apprentice? Dan and Lee were trying for a position with the Trump organization? (Lee didn’t win, but did get an offer from Trump anyway.) Maybe the Donald … Continue reading

This week’s Carnival of the Jews is up, and it’s the Election Edition. Don’t miss it.
Carnival of the Jews
Three out of four of Jews are voting for Obama, but we can still read what they’re saying. Because I think I found most of the 25% that aren’t Obamatons. Haveil Havalim is here this week. Some clips: More on … Continue reading
The famous Muslim “tolerance”: Death to apostates
Say, that famous Muslim tolerance of other faiths we’ve heard so much about? I’m thinking someone’s not being quite truthful. A month ago, the Iranian parliament voted in favour of a draft bill, entitled “Islamic Penal Code”, which would codify … Continue reading
The riots in Akko: Islamist provocation?
Don’t believe everything you read in the papers about the riots going into their fifth day in Akko/Acre. The current media line, even in Israel, is that Jews are mostly to blame. This is a lie. Even as I write … Continue reading
Respecting our religion
The Muslims in and around Israel showed the famous Muslim respect for other religions, in only the way they can. First, Syria has moved thousands of soldiers to its border with Lebanon. So it’s no surprise that the IDF scrambled … Continue reading
