The Nativity Story (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
Whilst I am still picking up the pieces from my technical issues here on ATB, I am posting an article I know you will find interesting, written by my inimitable publisher over @ NewsBusters, Brent Bozell. Difficult to cut as every word is brilliant, I give you the whole thing, in sincere hope that Brent will not object to ATB's presumptuous indulgence: "We lead fairly schizophrenic lives during the Christmas season in America. Our popular holiday rituals are bifurcated between the sacred and the secular; between the very worldly commercial extravaganza of Christmas as offered by our department stores ?

Lost In Translation (Weekend Thread) (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
It is my dearest wish, that all 'Passerbys' would redirect their concerns to the Jews and Christians living amongst Muslim bretheren in Islamic countries; any sadness, in what was mistook for hatred against Islam on ATB, should much rather be caused by the fate of those, whose life is made unbearable by violent attacks because they are either Infidels or have the courage to confront the dark ages ingrained in today's Islam.
The Day After (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
A roundup with obligatory Congratulations; thoughts on the expression 'Every loss contains opportunity'; contemplating 'What does the election mean... for bloggers?' as well as whether the WOT should focus on democratization or shari'a law prevention and more...
May Your Voice Be Heard (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
"When those who benefit most from living in a country contribute the least to its defense, and those who benefit least are asked to pay the ultimate price, something happens to the soul of that country."
The Blame-Game (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
If anything, the biggest blame for the escalating violence in Iraq is the West's impotence vis-a-vis Islamic impunity and violence and the obsession to rationalize their barbaric behavior in terms which are both divorced from its true source, namely the Quar'an and Sharia law and the mindset of the medieval perpetrators.
Life Is What Happens When You Are Making Other Plans (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
Life right now is what is happening and it's most inconvenient, as my fingers are itching to hit the keyboard again and bring you some of that ATB magic you have all said you have been missing so much....
No Sigh Of Relief Anytime Soon (Weekend Thread) (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
Jews don't do this kind of thing, are not known to commit such unspeakable atrocities. In contrast however, look around the world and place a pin on the map wherever such horrendous crimes against humanity are being committed and you will find, that Islam seems to govern almost all the actions of the perpetrators.
The Pallywood Al-Durrah Affair (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
A story which I had managed to miss blogging about completely, was covered extensively by my friend neo-neocon who flew to Paris and attended yesterday the second of the three al-Durah defamation trials at Le Palais de Justice. But first some background French Judges are carefully examining harrowing television images of a Palestinian father shielding his son from a burst of bullets. The ghastly television footage transformed 12-year-old Mohammed al-Dura into an international martyr of the second intifada and ignited a lingering controversy. Six years later, France 2, the state-supported channel that captured the exclusive video, is fighting to protect its reputation in a French courtroom, where it is suing three Internet critics who questioned the channel's veracity.
The Devil Doesn't Wear Prada (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
When in touch with his feminine side, he wears a full head to toe veil called a burqa or niqab, covering nose, mouth, everything really, except for a small crocheted grill over the eyes or simply an opening. The devil is showing the world how to disguise totalitarian militant politics as religion, and strip away every ounce of freedom and dignity from its Muslim women. Europe has finally woken up to the fact that their liberty is in danger of getting swallowed in a pile of politically correct apologetic garbage.
The Bloody Dance Of The Qur'an (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
"Nomani is making a point here: How can you expect to stop suicide bombers, jihadists and preachers of violence when it is perfectly acceptable to many Muslim males to engage in domestic violence. She quotes another Muslim woman describing the thought process among too many Muslim males: "If it's okay for me to be a savage in my home, it's okay for me to be a savage in the world."
The 'Humiliation Of Occupation' Rears Its Ugly Head Again (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
I've waited to deal with the following news development because it is so disturbing to me personally, I needed to let my rage subside. I can now speak and write coherently about the latest ghastly statements by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice concerning the Middle East. But it's not easy. Last week, Rice said America could have no greater legacy than to divide the land of Israel and establish a Palestinian Arab terrorist state to end what she called the "humiliation of occupation." She made the statement at a dinner celebrating the third anniversary of the American Task Force on Palestine.
A Matter Of Interpretation (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
"I?m in the business of enforcing democracy. What democracy means is that on controversial issues; even stuff like homosexual rights, abortion, whatever; we debate with each other and persuade each other and vote on it.
Islam's Cosa Nostra (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
Never loose sight of the unique threat posed by Iran. It's the only country run by Islamic purists with enormous piles of cash to invest in their evil cause. It's Islam's Cosa Nostra and 'The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution', or Revolutionary Guards for short, are their henchmen. Kim Yong-il needs to resort to criminal activities and...
The Jagged Edge Of The American Left (Weekend Thread) (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
"It is not only about rage and resentment, and how some have come to see them as virtues, as an emblem of rightness. I feel so much, therefore my views are correct and must prevail. It is about something so obvious it is almost embarrassing to state. Free speech means hearing things you like and agree with, and it means allowing others to speak whose views you do not like or agree with. This--listening to the other person with respect and forbearance, and with an acceptance of human diversity--is the price we pay for living in a great democracy.
The Dichotomy (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
"We expect your retaliation; it's what unites us and divides you", sums up everything that has happened since 9/11. It is the most succinct description of the tragic dichotomy plaguing democratic nations and free societies both East and West:
Ignorance Is Bliss (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
North Korea's nuclear blast, whether real or hyped up, and Thug-In-Chief Ahmadinejad's promise to wipe Israel of the map couldn't be more disconnected as far as they are concerned. 'What has this commie lunatic to do with the Middle East conflict'. A lot. Apart from being a global add campaign -- don't bother building it yourself, we'd be happy to supply you with all the know-how or with as many nukes as you care to order -- it proves to the Mullahs and their jihadist armies the world over, once you've got it, nobody is going to touch you any longer.
The Russian Bear Awakes (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
And Israel needs our steadfast support. Questioning if she is still a strategic asset for the US in light of the mixed military performance against Hizbullah in Lebanon is a legitimate and necessary process, but most of all a welcome opportunity to demonstrate how our fate, our freedom and our way of life is so inextricably linked as never before in living memory. If we wish to preserve what we treasure most for our children and grandchildren, we must close ranks with our Jewish brethren and stand our ground in defense against the onslaught of global Jihad as the precursor for Pax Islamica.
'The UN And The Jews' Indeed (Weekend Thread) (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
Braking the mold of the longstanding tradition among UN officials throughout the ranks to fashion the UN into "the foremost global platform for anti-Semitism", must indeed drive senior UN officials to despair, together with their faithful MSM minions.
The Palestinian Code Of Honor (Oct 26 2008 13:45 GMT)
So let?s catch up on the background here. As I have said before: The militants from both Fatah and Hamas are hell bent unstoppable on their way to have their prolonged bloodshed. Hamas is in power, Fatah is lurking in the shadows, but make no mistake about it, they are both terrorist organizations, period.
