    The news of the mass shooting at Fort Hood Thursday hit close to home for some Utahns. One man says his daughter heard the shooter exclaim "Allah Akbar" as he opened fire. We want to stress that no government or military officials are reporting that and there is no way for us to independently confirm that it is true. The family from northern Utah agreed to talk to us, on the condition we not identify them and blur out some photos they've supplied, because they're worried their daughter could get in trouble with her superiors for making public what she...

    In what may be the first recorded instance of a Muslim wife attempting to murder her husband for not being pious enough, a Staten Island woman was charged this week with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Rabia Sarwar, a 37-year-old Muslim, said she did it because her husband, a 41-year-old Pakistani native, enjoyed booze and pork and wanted her to dress in revealing clothes. (She held fabric over her face and threw a shawl over her head before leaving court on Thursday.) While the Sarwar case is sensational by dint of the role-reversal and the method...

In a rambling, four-page handwritten confession, Rabia Sarwar laid out the “mental and emotional cruelty” that led to her trying to kill her husband, Susan Wagner High School teacher Sheikh Naseem, early yesterday morning, a law enforcement source said. “I tried my best to cut his throat,” Ms. Sarwar admitted, according to court papers.

    California's educrats have put out new rules for teaching Islamic studies to seventh-graders in public schools, and they are as biased as ever. They'll also likely spread eastward. The lesson guidelines adopted by the bellwether state whitewash the violence and oppression of women codified in Islamic law, or Shariah. And they're loaded with revisionist history about the faith. In fact, "wife beating is allowed under Shariah" today, she added. "It allows a woman seen without a headdress to be flogged, punishes rape victims, and calls for beheading for adultery." California's course on world religions also omits Islam's long history of...

    The Jihadists plotting terror attacks against the west, including US soil, may no longer be those with origins from Middle East as what it was for the 9/11 terror attack, but from South Asia, Pakistan and Afghanistan in specific, hinting more involvement of Taliban. In the 9/11 terror attack, the plan was engaged and orchestrated by Arabs with origins of Middle East. However, in the London Bombings engaging transportation system, the terror was launched by non-Arabs, and with more interaction with Pakistan.

The Star newspaper's Web site and national news agency Bernama said the chief Shariah judge of Pahang state ruled that a Shariah High Court's verdict against Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno, 32, was correct and should stay. If the punishment is carried out, Kartika would become the first Muslim woman to be caned in Malaysia, where about 60 percent of the 28 million people...

The general question, simply put, is how to admit a pattern of outrageous behavior by designated victim groups, without provoking a serious reaction of outrage. So the reportage is artfully constructed to imply that solution as well as the problem lie within Islam, and non-Muslims have a minor role, if any, to play. Thus, the article begins with insensitive Americans failing to accommodate the special needs of battered women who happen to be Muslim:...

There is usually an increase in the number of cars torched on New Year's Eve compared to other days of the year.

But we do know her father, Muhammad Parvez, 57, has been charged with her strangulation murder and her brother Waqas, 26, is charged with obstruction of justice.

    The teaching of evolution is becoming increasingly difficult in UK schools because of the rise of creationism, a leading scientist is warning. Head of science at London's Institute of Education Professor Michael Reiss says some teachers, fearful of entering the debate, avoid the subject totally. This could leave pupils with gaps in their scientific knowledge, he says. Prof Reiss says the rise of creationism is partly down to the large increase in Muslim pupils in UK schools. He said: "The number of Muslim students has grown considerably in the last 10 to 20 years and a higher proportion of Muslim...

With emergency services overwhelmed, some families have been digging with their bare hands in the search for bodies. It was one of the deadliest attacks in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. The US military has blamed al Qaeda in Iraq for the atrocity and one commander called it an "act of ethnic cleansing." ~ snip ~

    Swedish society is disintegrating and is in danger of collapsing. The "Swedish Model" no longer refers to a peaceful state with an advanced economy, but to a Eurabian horror story of utopian multiculturalism, socialist mismanagement, and runaway immigration. The newspaper Aftonbladet reported that 9 out of 10 of the most criminal ethnic groups in Sweden come from Muslim countries. The number of rape charges in Sweden has quadrupled in just twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six times as common today as they were a generation ago. Most other kinds of violent crime have...

    In West Java, Islamic terrorists have forcibly closed another Christian church. Typically, a mob of Islamic militants will invade a church, during services, and desecrate the place, drive the worshipers out, and attack any clergy, all the time shouting Islamic slogans. When the police investigate, none of the known Islamic militant groups will take credit for the attack. In the last three years, at least 30 Christian churches have been forced to close in West Java.

    GAZA (Reuters) - Hamas's television station defied the Hamas-led Palestinian government on Friday by airing another weekly episode of a show featuring a Mickey Mouse lookalike who urges children to support armed resistance against Israel. "Tomorrow's Pioneers" on Al-Aqsa Television has a central character named "Farfur", an actor dressed in a full body-suit to resemble the Walt Disney cartoon character. Following complaints by Israeli watchdog groups that triggered international scrutiny, Palestinian Information Minister Mustafa Barghouthi said he had asked Al-Aqsa to stop the broadcasts so the content could be reviewed. Despite Barghouthi's call, "Tomorrow's Pioneers" went on the air as...
