Now Google Christians protest - 25,000, many of which are links to articles from overseas where Christians are protesting genuine oppression through acts like murder and imprisonment.

And now comes the jockstrap jihadists, to coin a phrase. After all, it is a gym.

Fitness USA, a gym chain, is investigating an alleged civil rights violation involving a local Muslim woman who says her afternoon prayer was interrupted by a fellow patron, and that her complaint to management about the situation was rejected.

And this is a must read from Richard Ibrahim, a research librarian at the Library of Congress - it's also available through Michelle's link above.

And therein is the final lesson. Muslims' zeal for their holy places and lands is not intrinsically blameworthy. Indeed, there's something to be said about being passionate and protective of one's own. Here the secular West — Christendom's prodigal son and true usurper — can learn something from Islam. For whenever and wherever the West concedes ideologically, politically and especially spiritually, Islam will be sure to conquer. If might does not make right, zeal apparently does.

Meanwhile, Mary Katherine Ham rounds up issues surrounding the Keith Ellison / Dennis Prager kerfuffle. There are additional pertinent links via Michelle Malkin, as well.

Wake up, America. Personally, I have no desire to create some us versus them situation in America. But one does need to be mindful of the greater world in which we live and realize that, due to certain factors, you could wake up one day and find it's them versus us and America is not only out-numbered, but out maneuvered, too.

We've gotten so good at hiding, or simply dismissing what we believe in, if we aren't careful, someone else will end up telling us what that something is, or is allowed to be.

Ironic, isn't it?

"We've gotten so good at hiding, or simply dismissing what we believe in, if we aren't careful, someone else will end up telling us what that something is, or is allowed to be."

For about five minutes - as the final wake-up call we seem to need goes down. But they'll end up telling a bunch of dead bodies what to do. Americans don't like being told what to do. It's too damn bad that unique mindset *is* in hiding for so many at the moment.

Liberty - one of those things worth dying for. It's a sad thing that many are dying and will die getting some fools to remember what liberty and freedom from and freedom to means.

Nationalism - or even tribalism - is all about the "Us vs. Them" mindset.

It is realistic.

Because that is EXACTLY how our enemies (radical Islamists and others who actively dissemble and/or agitate against America).

The "Us vs. Them" mindset - drawing a line in the sand - is EXACTLY what this country needs. The sooner the average citizen realizes this, the better off our chances will be of surviving the next 94-odd years of this century.

dan,

this also goes on in india with hindu temples and in budhist countries with budhist temples, not just synaguouges in israel. it is a sickness everywhere. it comes from a passage in the koran which states that wherever a "brother" works, he has a right to claim that land as his "own"

glad to see you and michelle are friends again. keep up the great journalism you were meant to be doing. people like you who can stick it out make all the difference in the world.

god bless--silkworth
