Muslim Moonwalks on High Altar

Found at Patrick Madrid’s place, via New Advent. Madrid writes: Here’s an outrageous story that will likely go unnoticed and unreported by the media. Try to imagine what would happen if a Christian were to perform this same moronic dance in crowded mosque. Do you think he’d leave the building alive? I don’t know if [...]

Shahzad's grudge is recent? – UPDATED

The mainstream media has presented us with a plethora of possible motives behind Faisal Shahzad’s attempted bombing in Times Square.
