Textbooks, Lies, and Vulnerable Kids
From American Thinker
By Janet Tassel 7 December 2012
Last week, a panel convened in Newton, Massachusetts, the well-heeled suburb of Boston. Newton, which Barney Frank represented in Congress for decades, is the epicenter for Jewish liberals, who spring up like gluten-free organic mushrooms on the lawns of Tudor mansions. But some of their multicultural sanctimony is wearing a trifle thin — at least for those few who care. Their textbooks, it seems, are pockmarked with anti-Israel bias.
This is not a new problem for Newton. Last year, a student at Newton South High School was perplexed by a passage from the chapter she was assigned in her World History class, a chapter called “Women, an Essay,” from a supplemental text called the Arab World Studies Notebook. In a paragraph devoted to women “in the struggle for independence from colonial powers,” she found:
Muslim Caliphate slaughter in Thailand: "Buddhists make the best target"
Asia’s bloodiest insurgency: Buddhists make the best target
In the Thai Buddhist mind, almost nothing is so disturbing as harming a monk. That is exactly why insurgents shoot monks at close range. All-Buddhist militias in southern Thailand must defend themselves against Islamic militants. Their temples have become fortresses ringed with razor wire.

PATTANI, Thailand — The monk suddenly realized he was running.
Muslim pleads guilty, gets 10 years in plot to bomb 10 NYC synagogues
via 10 years in temple bomb plot
He dreamed of blowing up 10 synagogues — simultaneously, on the same remote detonator — and grinned like a child when he bought what he thought was a live grenade.
Yesterday, Islamic bomb plotter Ahmed Ferhani pleaded guilty to 10 hate and terror counts — giving Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. the first state-level terror conviction in New York history.
Chemical Syria: 'Enemies of Allah will die like rabbits'
Published on Dec 6, 2012 by RussiaToday
Syria’s military is preparing to use chemical weapons against rebels, and is awaiting final orders from President Assad according to un-named US officials quoted in the American media. Washington says THAT would be all the reason it needs to intervene in the conflict. And as RT’s Middle East correspondent Paula Slier reports, the timing of these unsubstantiated WMD revelations may not be coincidence.
Muslim Brotherhood Puts Jordan in the Crosshairs
By Ryan Mauro
In March, the Dubai police chief warned that the Muslim Brotherhood had a plan for the Gulf monarchies. Instead of regime change, it would make them “figurehead bodies without actual ruling.” That’s exactly what the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to make happen in Jordan by demanding “democratic” reforms. And King Abdullah II appears to be wobbling under the stress.
What Does The Bible Say About A Future Palestinian State?
By Joel Richardson – “On November 29, 2012, 138 nations passed U.N. Resolution 67/19 on ‘The Question of Palestine’. The resolution expresses support for the right of ‘the Palestinian people… to their independent State of Palestine’.
In light of this deeply profound and historical event, and in light of the overwhelming emerging global bias against the Nation of Israel, it is essential that all students of the Bible stop to consider what the it says about the future of both the nation of Israel and ‘Palestine’.
Obama calls Egypt’s Morsi to complain about riots, not human rights
From The Daily Caller
By Neil Munro 7 December 2012
President Barack Obama called Egypt’s Islamist president Dec. 6 to complain about televised riots in Cairo that showcase the collapse of Obama’s much-touted 2009 “New Beginning” outreach to Islamist progressive groups.
The president called “to express his deep concern about the deaths and injuries of protesters in Egypt … [and he] emphasized that all political leaders in Egypt should make clear to their supporters that violence is unacceptable,” according to a White House statement.
At least six people have been killed in the riots, which reports say have also injured hundreds more.
‘Unreligious music’: Over two dozen militants storm wedding function
From The Express Tribune
By Riaz Ahmad Published: December 6, 2012
Twenty-five heavily-armed militants stormed into a wedding function in Hamid Machine village late Tuesday night and demanded the ‘anti-religious’ celebrations to stop.
The militants, carrying rocket launchers and machine guns, destroyed musical instruments in the hujra of a resident Younas, whose wedding was scheduled for Friday.
“Around 10 men entered the hujra where the mehndi was taking place and 15 others waited outside the building,” said a local elder, requesting anonymity. He added that militants had said that this was against religion and not allowed in ‘their’ area. Locals said it was the first time such an incident had happened.
Residents added that the militants’ hostile attitude towards Adezai villagers was well-known but it is the first time that militants had interfered with people in Hamid Mahcine on Azakhel road. The incident has sent a wave of panic across the region.
Former head of the Adezai Aman militia, Dilawar Khan criticised the police for not handling the situation. “The police is entirely responsible,” he said, “they are reluctant to take action against militants and their sympathisers in the area.”
Dilawar said the act was alarming as it indicates the presence of militancy in the area despite his militia having been disbanded. “The writ of the government is limited to the daytime after which militants freely roam the area,” he said.
Mattani police said that they have had no information about the incident and that no one had approached them in this regard.
Militants have previously declared the people of nearby Mattani village ‘neutral’ and have pledged time and time again not to target them. Inhabitants of other nearby villages were also expecting the same, but after their call to bar playing music, locals have become fearful.
An elder from Mattani said that militants claim that their enemies are based in Adezai — where a peace militia rose against them — while the people of Mattani have been declared ‘safe’ and are not meant to be targeted.
However, after the latest event, villagers fear for their lives once again.
