More seething and whining from Islamic organizations

Their favourite buzzword is "Islamophobia", an "irrational fear of Muslims". Hmm, how irrational is it when Muslims have killed literally thousands of Americans in terrorist attacks over the last 35 or so years? Well, no matter, because to say ANYTHING negative these days about Islam or Muslims is considered to be "Islamophobic". So, now we have this obnoxious Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal, of all places, plaintively calling on Barack Obama to embrace his Muslim heritage: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121504517357224911.html?mod=djemEditorialPage.

I guess that my response is, "Why not?" After all, you can't say anything negative about Obama without being called a racist, anyway, so what does he have to lose?

Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel in class and pray to Allah

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.
