On Bolt Report a new policy is that any Islam post can only be on the pinned leader. Normal rules apply in that if it is merely foul and abusive it will be deleted. Otherwise comments are welcome. Daniel Katz has previously posted some beauties ..

The Charlie Hebdo attack illustrates that it is not the insult to Islam which gets people killed, but the insult to jihadists. Charlie Hebdo was never close enough or important enough to insult Islam. To insult Islam Charlie would have needed to convert and recant. A bit like Obama. But Charlie's portrayals as people who were not Islamic are irrelevant to the Muslim religion. It is like referring to the great nation of Israel. There is no reason a Muslim should be offended by it. It has nothing to do with them. But clearly the jihadists are hurt by any reference to their death cult or promotion of their failure. But if we are to have any spine at all, we must challenge the death cult's assertions. And one way is to challenge their claim they are Muslim. Clearly they claim they are. But is their claim merely an assertion of violence? Can a Muslim exist in a progressive society without being overcome by a desire to kill others, including Muslims, torture, rape, abuse their own young and pillage? One likes to believe that a Muslim can be civilised without, like Obama, giving up their faith.
But can the Western Press accept a world without the death cult? In many ways, the media has promoted the death cult, interviewing fans of terrorism and discrediting and undermining the Islamic community's attempts to assert a religion of peace. The death cult's Sharia law is not the law that Islamic peoples must follow. John Safran has recently embraced ISIL as an equal to western nations. The truth is they don't compare. But there must be a reason why leftists insist on promoting that myth. And part of that lies with the antisemitism of the left. It is not mere bigotry which has seen Israel abused in the left by those inheriting Nazi philosophy. The historical connection with Nazism for those hating Israel is evident.
On this day in 38 BC, Octavian divorced his wife, on the day she gave birth to his daughter, and split an alliance with Pompey resulting in civil war. A lesson being that family is important and domestic peace extends far. But there has to be a limit. Today is the anniversary (1998) of the Drudge Report breaking the Monica Lewinski and President Clinton scandal. Monica was a young woman whom the President betrayed, but note the President's doormat of a wife, ever ambitious, despising the woman to promote her husband. Earlier, the Doormat had told the US public that news of Bill's affairs were her business, not the nation's. Yet history shows her poor judgement weakened the Presidency with an impeachment. Democrats today are keen to impeach President Bush for something, but they just don't know what. They have lied about missing WMD, since found in Syria, about invasions for oil, about it being inappropriate to have democracy in the Middle East when they clearly don't believe in democracy in the West.
2014
It is hard to know what the complaint of the left is to do with boat people and the Abbott government. Some are complaining that they don't really know what is happening, but with no boats in four weeks, probably nothing much is happening, and it isn't hard to know. Some say the Australian Navy is shooting at boat people. But they are such bad shots they hit no one. Others are saying the navy is rabidly giving away life boats and fuel. It simply is not what they want. The left like to give money to drowning people. It isn't the same if they aren't drowning. And the left like to watch it happen. It is very important that the victim is first exploited by a people smuggler. Otherwise it just won't be fair. If the Abbott government were to give money away to drowning people exploited by people smugglers then the left wing would be happy and quiet, like they were with Gillard. And as an added bonus, some Tasmanians would work for their living.
I am one of the 85% of Australians not driving as much as 100 kms a day. And I don't own an iMieve. Why doesn't the Australian government do anything about that monster killing people in our streets, hurting children and pets and wearing shoes of every Australian on a daily basis. I am referring to pavement. It is similar as with the excuses given by an AGW alarmist who got stuck in ice in the middle of summer. It is very lucky there wasn't an iron pole nearby, or he'd have gotten his tongue stuck.

Mr Ball, I will not sign your petition as it will do no good, but I will share your message and ask as many of friends who read it, to share it also. Let us see if we cannot use the power of the internet to spread the word of these infamous killings. As a father and a former soldier, I cannot, could not, justify ignoring this appalling action by the perpetrators, whoever they may; I thank you Douglas. You are wrong about the petition. Signing it is as worthless and meaningless an act as voting. A stand up guy would know that. - ed
