Islam and the Evolution of Europe’s Far Right

April 11th, 2008 | Category: Politics

R. John Matthies has produced a rather flawed but well done piece on the “resistance to Islam” movement.

April 11th, 2008 | Category: Politics

You knew this was coming. TV viewing is way down as people are on the internet. So what do broadcasters in the UK do? Make better programs to attract people back? Oh no, they want a tax on broadband to make up for all the advert revenue they are losing.

Typical broadcast mentality; if they can’t hack it they whine to the government for help. Needless to say Sky thinks this is a daft idea.

Oh and Olmert has told Carter no thanks to a meeting. I suspect his words might have been a bit stronger before turned into diplomaticese. Their security services have told him to get knotted as well.

Just in case you thought Hamas were carrying and sharing. Check out what their cleric said last Friday.

Update: Islamic Jihad has refused to meet Jimmah when he is in the region. Finally Islamic Jihad and the Israeli government agree on something.

Update II: Hamas is saying that Carter has boosted their legitimacy. To celebrate this new found legitimacy they killed at least one Jew for Jimmah. Well done Jimmah you traiterous arse.
