U.K. Police Trained at Islamic School at Center of Terror Probe

"U.K. police officers were given ``diversity training'' at an Islamic school southeast of London that's now at the center of a terrorism investigation.

Anti-Terrorist Branch police from London raided the private Jameah Islameah school in East Sussex and in the same inquiry arrested 14 people in London Sept. 1 and 2. The county's police force said its own officers visited the school as many as 15 times for training to improve their awareness of Muslim culture. London police said the raids aren't tied to the 2005 London bombings or arrests Aug. 10 over an alleged plot to bomb planes."

Dershowitz- Terror's faithful allies

"In fact, through restraint, Israel was able to minimize the number of civilian casualties in Lebanon, despite Hizbullah's best efforts to embed itself in population centers and to use civilians as human shields. The total number of innocent Muslim civilians killed by Israeli weapons during a month of ferocious defensive warfare was a fraction of the number of innocent Muslims killed by other Muslims during that same period in Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, and other areas of Muslim-on-Muslim civil strife. Yet the deaths caused by Muslims received a fraction of the attention devoted to alleged Israeli "crimes."

This lack of concern for Muslims by other Muslims - and the lack of focus by so-called human rights organizations on these deaths - is bigotry, pure and simple. "


Michael Ledeen- 9/11 anniversary

"The serious part of the ultimatum is the call for conversion. Mohammed once gave an enemy the chance to convert before attacking, and some of the jihadis claim — I am told, on dubious grounds — that it was actually a pattern. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Bush to convert, which some took to be a warning that an attack was imminent (and it was, as the recent events in London, and the discovery of bombs in Germany — reportedly intended for use at the soccer championships — prove).

So, all in all, we should expect attempted attacks in the West to increase, especially as we approach the anniversary of 9/11."

Afghanistan

While such events are tragic, we must not lose sight of the reasons we are in Afghanistan. NATO forces are there to establish conditions which will allow for the development and reconstruction of the nation and for a brighter future for its people.

Our mission will continue, we will succeed, and we will work to provide the Afghan people with the opportunity to live in peace, freedom, and under a democratically elected government.

........"you would cringe if you knew how porous it actually is down here. We ID’d an Iranian national crossing legally in the middle of nowhere just last week at a checkpoint, and he recrossed about 10 minutes later…you don’t hear THAT on CNN. It’s like shooting a BB through a tennis net, if you will. No prosecution for marijuana unless it is over 499 pounds, otherwise catch and release."

The EU must not allow itself to be divided from Washington

"It is imperative that this delay does not stretch indefinitely and that the basic premise for serious bargaining is not diluted. Iran will be happy to hold talks about talks for as long as anyone else will hold meetings with it. The central question, nevertheless, is not whether Tehran is willing to send out envoys but when uranium enrichment will be suspended. If the EU and Washington are not perceived to be as one, the world will hardly be a safer place."
