Egyptians are rioting in reaction to the recent deadly soccer riots in which over 70 people died.

Tomorrow there will be a deadly riot in protest of today's deadly riot.

Long War Journal:

A member of the newly elected Egyptian parliament has called for al Qaeda's emir to return to the country "with his head held high and safely."

Aboud al Zomor, who served as the first emir of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and was later imprisoned for his role in President Anwar Sadat's assassination, said that he welcomes Ayman al Zawahiri's return to Egypt and that he would be given safe haven, according to a report published yesterday in Al-Sharq Al-Awsat. The report was translated from Arabic by the Foundation For Defense of Democracies.

"When asked if he saw any danger in al Zawahiri's return, al Zomor said that 'he was not a threat to Egypt, the likes of al Zawahiri differed with the previous regime and they were only a danger for this regime and not for Egypt, and now he is liberating Afghanistan and Iraq...'" the report stated. Zomor also lamented that the US would be opposed to Zawahiri's return to Egypt.

Zomor denied having direct contact with members of al Qaeda, and claims to have renounced violence.

"I've distanced myself from that currently because I took the political line and closed the page on the past, as a result of which doors to peaceful action opened for us," he told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.

Zomor is one of the primary founders of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the terrorist group that merged with al Qaeda. Zawahiri succeeded Zomor as the group's emir and presided over its merger with bin Laden's terror group in the 1990s.

He's so awesome, his speechwriters write his speeches at an 8th grade level.

The University of Minnesota's Smart Politics conducted an analysis on the last 70 State of the Union addresses and found that President Obama's three addresses have the lowest grade average of any modern president. "Obama's average grade-level score of 8.4 is more than two grades lower than the 10.7 grade average for the other 67 addresses written by his 12 predecessors," they conclude.

Now, I'll grant that the 10th grade average isn't exactly the greatest either, but it's clear that, as Rush says, Obama is the least qualified guy in any room that he walks into. And as far as the 10th grade average goes, it just shows that the inside the beltway types figure us for stupid. Yeah, I get that they want to get their message out to the broadest amount of people as possible, but the majority of Americans don't read at a 10th grade level. Except maybe Rusty's students. Personally, I find it insulting.

More fun with POTUS' SOTU. If this clown (God forbid) gets reelected, his last SOTU is simply going to be an amalgam of all the previous speeches by that time.

Yes da Snoop wants to talk to the Pres. Know what I'm sayin'?

As always, Snoop Dogg has an innovative approach to getting things done. He told Hot 99.5's Toby Knapp that he would convince President Obama to change the drug laws by first getting him nice and relaxed...

Before I even said "Hi" to President Obama, I would change the aroma of the room. [...] And then we could start conversing after we had that aroma change. You know what I'm talking about? [...]

Coptic Christian in Egypt to face trial over tweeting above cartoon of Micky and Minnie.

The Central Cairo Prosecution has referred Coptic businessman Naguib Sawiris to trial over charges of defamation of religion.

In June, Sawiris posted a picture depicting Mickey Mouse wearing a beard and Minnie Mouse wearing a face veil on his Twitter account, a cartoon that many Muslims considered offensive.

Sawiris later apologized for posting the cartoon, however, his apology did not manage to calm the anger of Salafis who filed a report accusing him of defaming religion.

CNN:

U.S. Navy ship rescued 13 Iranian sailors from pirates in the Arabia Sea, a military spokesman said Friday.
The destroyer USS Kidd responded to calls for help from the Iranian-flagged dhow Al Molai, which had been hijacked by pirates two months ago, Navy Capt. John Kirby said.

A Navy team boarded the ship, took 15 pirates into custody and sent the dhow on its way, Kirby said. A dhow is a type of sailing vessel frequently used for commercial transits in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean.

The Iranian captain thanked the crew of the Kidd for their help, Kirby said.

I'm glad the Iranian sailors are safe. To the Iranian regime, You're very F*cking welcome.

Update: More delicious irony topping! The commander of the USS KIDD is a woman, CDR Jennifer L. Ellinger.

Strange twist of fate indeed:

Every civil servant wants to experience his or her legacy firsthand--but not the way that onetime Arapahoe Sheriff Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. has. Sullivan, a nationally renowned law enforcement leader, was arrested on drug charges and is now being detained in the Denver area jail that bears his name.

Sullivan, who in 2001 was named the National Sheriff Association's "Sheriff of the Year," was arrested on suspicion of trafficking methamphetamines.

Local news station CBS4 began an investigation of Sullivan last month on a tip that he had agreed to meet a male informant, providing drugs in exchange for sex. He was subsequently arrested by the South Metro Drug Task Force and is currently being held on a $250,000 bond.

And in an incredible twist of fate, Sullivan now cooling his heels at The Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility, named in his honor.

Ewwww.

he hippie Florida mother of four who ditched her children and banker husband to sleep in Zuccotti Park’s squalor hit rock bottom yesterday when she was hauled off in handcuffs, her dreadlocks flying wildly in every direction, for blocking a street near the New York Stock Exchange.

Stacey Hessler, 38, was lifted off the pavement in the center of Broad Street by three cops who slapped plastic bracelets on her wrists and dragged her away kicking and screaming.

“What did I do? What did I do?” she kept shouting.
She was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after she blocked “vehicular and pedestrian traffic” and refused orders to move, cops said.

You mind if I take it for a test ride?

A Colorado woman took matters into her own hands when her bike was stolen from outside of a Boulder sports bar. She tracked down her stolen bike on Craigslist, pretended to be an interested buyer and stole back her own bike.

On Sunday, Lucas went to the man’s apartment complex and asked if she could test ride the bike. “I started riding it and knew it was my bike, so I just kept riding it,” Lucas told KMGH. “I rode it to my car and then threw it it in my car and then drove away.”

Wow it appears Joey has a new hobby, outing Jihobbyists.

Yousef al-Khattab

Today's specimen is Abu Hadeed (shown here using his Youtube nickname). All jihobist like him try to strong arm you into accepting their rhetoric and most end up in jail where they believe they are the 'aseerun'. Anyway he is begging to make his point public so I will give him a platform. Interesting is the amount of times in his posts that he insults Khaleeji Arabs and uses terms like greasy & slimy. Seems to be a classic case of self hate,failure and blame it on the kuffar. You be the judge and don't forget to join his network,because indeed birds of a feather flock together.

Since Yousef had his falling out with the Jihad community they have turned their hatred against him as well. As they say politics make strange bedfellows.

In fact I'm of the opinion that even though I don't trust Yousef any further than I can throw him, his knowledge and expertise would be invaluable in the fight against terrorism and the spread of al-Qaeda propaganda.

We keep our focus tight here, for the most part we only direct our ire at known designated terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda and those who advocate for murder and terrorism against civilians. Civilians just like Joey.

Why don't you come with us? You're pretty good in a fight. We could use you.

They're calling it Kingdom Tower. I call it World's Largest Target.

The only name otherwhich captures the pure hubris of the project more perfectly is Titanic.

Chances that al Qaeda won't target this symbol of the 'apostate' Saudi regime? Zero.

Chances that when they finally succeed -- and mark my words, they will eventually succeed -- in destroying it that one or more member of the bin Laden family will have a hand in it. 100%

Making this story all the more beautifully ironic: Bin Laden Family To Be Key Partner In Building World's Tallest Skyscraper.

Draconian? Maybe. Worth adopting in the US or Europe? Hell no.

But what I want to know is if a Muslim does something that would be characterized as Islamophobic by CAIR were he a non-Muslim, doesn't that also make him an Islamophobe?

Tajikistan's authoritarian leader has approved a law barring minors from praying in mosques as his secular government seeks to minimize the rising influence of Islam in the Central Asian nation....

The law also requires people under the age of 18 to study in secular schools thus barring thousands of students from attending mosque schools seen by authorities as a breeding ground of Islamism.

What I do know is that my only friend from Tajikistan cried when she finished college and had to go home where (at least back in the mid-1990s) she would be forced to wear the veil.

I generally don't support the use of force by the state. I don't want to present a false choice here and I don't know if this is what is happening today in Tajikistan, but if I were to have to choose between a society that forced me into following Talibanesque social norms and one which used the force of the state to ensure that such social norms went away, I'd choose the latter.

The family of a budding computer programmer have on Saturday launched a campaign to raise awareness about the health risks of playing online computer games after their son died following a marathon session on his Xbox.

A post-mortem revealed that 20-year-old Chris Staniforth -- who was offered a place to study Game Design at Leicester University -- was killed by a pulmonary embolism, which can occur if someone sits in the same position for several hours.

Guardian:

Afghan insurgents appeared to continue their assassination campaign against key public figures on Wednesday with the killing of the mayor of Kandahar.

Ghulam Haider Hamidi was targeted by a suicide bomber who got into the municipality compound in Kandahar City with explosives concealed under his turban. The technique was first used earlier this month in a mosque in the city during a memorial service for Ahmed Wali Karzai, a regional strongman and half-brother of the president.

Abdul Manan, a municipality employee, said the mayor had emerged from his office into the garden, where he made a call on his mobile phone.

The assassin grabbed him and detonated the bomb.

"I rushed outside and saw the mayor was lying still on the ground," said Manan. "Another headless body was next to him and the mayor had deep wounds on his face and chest.''

To be fair, its just money we gave to the Afghans to fight the Taliban that they gave the Taliban.

A year-long military-led investigation has concluded that U.S. taxpayer money has been indirectly funneled to the Taliban under a $2.16 billion transportation contract that the United States has funded in part to promote Afghan businesses.

The military summary included several case studies in which money was traced from the U.S. Treasury through a labyrinth of subcontractors and power brokers. In one, investigators followed a $7.4 million payment to one of the eight companies, which in turn paid a subcontractor, who hired other subcontractors to supply trucks.

The trucking subcontractors then made deposits into an Afghan National Police commander’s account, already swollen with payments from other subcontractors, in exchange for guarantees of safe passage for the convoys. Intelligence officials traced $3.3 million, withdrawn in 27 transactions from the commander’s account, that was transferred to insurgents in the form of weapons, explosives and cash.

London Mayor Boris Johnson is raising a stink over minor congestion charges he says President Obama's motorcade incurred while visiting his city, the London Evening Standard reports.

Johnson has fined the United States 120 pounds (nearly $200 U.S. dollars) in congestion levies--10 pounds per vehicle--for the presidential motorcade used during Obama's state visit in May.

The sum may seem to be a pittance, but it is part of a much larger problem, Johnson and others say.

London officials told AFP that the American Embassy owes 5.3 million pounds ($8.7 million dollars) in unpaid congestion fines--known as C-charges--which were first established in 2003. Since the roads weren't closed during the president's visit, he is subject to the fines, Johnson says.

In speaking with the Standard, the Embassy defended its refusal to pay, citing the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which prohibits "this sort of tax on diplomatic missions."

Jackass star dies being a jackass.

As a star of MTV's Jackass franchise, Ryan Dunn made a career out of cheating death, one cringe-inducing, skin-crawling stunt after another.

Early Monday on a Chester County highway, that daredevil streak caught up with him.

Dunn, 34, of West Chester, died just before 3 a.m. when his Porsche 911 GT3 veered off the westbound lanes of the Route 322 bypass in West Goshen Township. It careered through a guardrail, flipped over into a wooded ravine, crashed into a tree, and burst into flames. [...]

Investigators said the car might have been traveling at more than 100 m.p.h. on a road marked for 55. [...]

Hours before the crash, Dunn had posted a photo to his Twitter account showing himself drinking with two other men. Unidentified friends told the celebrity gossip website TMZ.com that Dunn had consumed at least three beers and three shots of liquor at Barnaby's of America in West Chester late Sunday.

Update: TMZ has the twitter photo.

A second supposedly leading lesbian blogger was exposed as a man masquerading as a gay woman, a day after the Gay Girl in Damascus blog was revealed to be the fictional creation of a married male student from Edinburgh.

Paula Brooks, who claimed to be the executive editor of a US-based lesbian site LezGetReal.com, told the Washington Post that "she", too, was a man – in this case, a 58-year-old retired construction worker from Ohio called Bill Graber.

...Amina often "flirted" with Brooks, the paper said – with neither man apparently realising that the other was also a man pretending to be a lesbian.

And Muslim refugees (and their children) are not happy about it. It seems imposing Islamic Law on non-Muslims is perfectly acceptable, but applying the same Sharia style punishments to Muslims is inhumane.

I guess that is the hypocritical logic one should expect from a cult that views outsiders less than human. The problem is, if you don't have a Golden Rule* by which you live, karma tends to come back and bite you on the arse.

Australia has decided to propose a solution - a "Malaysian Solution" - to swap boat refugees with "genuine" refugees:

ASYLUM seekers shipped overseas under the proposed "Malaysian solution" could be caned if they step out of line in detention.

Living conditions at refugee camps in Malaysia have been condemned as crowded and unhygienic, with some inmates reported to have died from disease spread by rats.

Malaysia flogs up to 6000 detainees a year for immigration offences, using a rattan cane that causes visible injuries and scarring. The law allows guards to use the punishment on children.

Graphic video of caning in Malaysia - warning, some readers may find this disturbing

UN Human Rights Commissioner Navi Pillay, who is visiting Australia, yesterday claimed the Gillard Government risked breaching international laws with the proposed swap of 800 boat arrivals for 4000 refugees from Malaysia.

Below, a chart of Australia's boat refugees by nationality (click to enlarge):

Everyone deserves the opportunity for freedom. I don't oppose legal immigration. However, I do have very little patience for people who, after fleeing religious or cultural oppression, come to a free democracy and use their new-found liberties to try and impose the same oppressive ideology they fled.

If you support Sharia Law, then live in an Islamic nation. If you support freedom, then denounce Islamic Law. Don't demand that others respect your cult or culture.

*Note: Many Muslims claim Islam does have a Golden Rule which was stated in Muhammad's farewell sermon. The 'rule' often quoted is: "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you." However, if you read the sermon, you'll note Muhammad was speaking exclusively to Muslims about Muslims. There is no Golden Rule in Islam that applies to the treatment of non-Muslims.

Some of the images of soups and stuff in a popular Vegan magazine were found to be stock images, beef stock images to be exact.....Bwaaahahahaa!

With the help of an anonymous reader tip, the author of the vegan blog, quarrygirl.com, accused VegNews of using food images of meat in its magazine and website and passing them off as meatless. The allegation prompted the San Francisco-based publication to confess that it had, "from time to time," used stock images that turned out not to be totally animal-free.

"The pictures we've been drooling over for years are actually of MEAT!" she charged.
