Everybody had better read this. If George Bush had tried to slip in something about detention centers for political opponents, the world would have come crashing down on his head. But the progressive Dems are trying to pull this off and the MSM isn't saying a word.

let them try this - for their sake they'd better hope it doesn't pass - or they'll see first hand exactly what a hate crime will look like.

Doesn't sound as if LGF is directly collaborating, but rather that some wire service I've never heard of was collating a bunch of unrelated links on the subject of Spencer & his alleged islamophobia. Dunno whether it's true or not - I've never followed Jihadwatch - but this seems to be a teapot-contained weather system.
Note that the wire service text calls Johnson another "islamophobe", thus playing up the "testimony against interest" card.
Have I mentioned recently how much I dislike the slur "Islamophobe"? It's an ugly neologism on an aesthetic level, and it's an encapsulation of an ideological stance on an memetic level. Better to just call someone a bigot instead, if you have to throw around insults.

Cherles' "problem" is mostly concerned with Spencer's involvement with European anti-islamist movements - most noteably Brussels Journal and his long running feud with Fjordman. Seems to be an extended case of guilt by association. It's now beyond tediouis, even to the point of him accusing Pamela Geller of being in bed with neonazis. Yawn.
That said - I highly douibt Charles is having anything to do with CAIR. He may have thin skin, but I can't see him ever going over to the Darkside.

Charles has some concerns about the wisdom (or lack thereof) of an alliance of convenience with Euro-fascists. Any political movement or ideology attracts it's share of parasites, losers, con-men, and extremists. The choice is to ignore them (and risk being delegitimised) or to "take out your own garbage". For counter-example, please see the Democrats + ACORN.

Just provided for the sake of comparison... during the "Republicans need to have a sense of humor" post about a month back, he banned about two or three people, and seems oblivious to the irony involved.

Prnews prints anything people pay them to print. They are primarily a PR outlet for business news. In this case the entire article was written by CAIR. See: SOURCE Council on American-Islamic Relations

Ahh ... the ACLU behaving in the manner which he have come to expect of it.
I can't tell you how happy it used to make me feel, to rip up those ACLU junk mailings that I used to get.

My favorit video of all time is the one where tehy are FLEEING from a funeral service. Rocks bottles, and other debris crashing into their van. I guess those lawyer skills didn't help them that time.
In the wake of renewed attacks by the Pakistan military and the United States, the Taliban and Al Qaeda might join Jundallah, a group that has staged attacks on Iran and strained Iranian-Pakistani relations, military specialists told Washington Times on Thursday.
Ashraf Ali, a Peshawar-based specialist on the Taliban,
told the paper that given Jundallah's historical connections with Al Qaeda and the Taliban, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, led by Baitullah Mehsud, might seek refuge in Balochistan or join the ranks of Jundallah.
"This would give a totally new dimension to the dynamics of Taliban/Al Qaeda militancy in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border region and may shift some of the problem to the Pakistan-Iran border region," Ali told the paper. "This is very much possible, as apparently there seems to be no [Pakistani] troops deployment on the south of the conflict zone towards Balochistan."
Last week, a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a hotel in Balochistan's Kalat district, killing four people and injuring 11. The attack appeared aimed at disrupting supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan, since drivers of NATO supply vehicles were eating at the hotel.
Analysts said the incident was a sign of rising Taliban/Al Qaeda activities in Balochistan, as well as a possible indication of growing contacts between Waziristan-based militant groups and Jundallah.
Malik Siraj Akbar, a journalist in Quetta, told The Washington Times that Abdul Malik Rigi, the leader of Jundullah, studied at madrassas in Karachi, where Taliban leaders also got their schooling.
The possibility of a new alliance among the Taliban, Al Qaeda and Jundallah could provide common ground among the United States, Pakistan and Iran against the terror threat.

This could be very interesting in any number of ways. Baluchistan is a divided (between Pak and Iran), very mineral rich non-country, full of very troublesome Baluchis, who are typical "borderers", tough people who love nothing more than to make trouble on both sides.
The Pakistani part is also home to the new, deep water modern, Chinese built, strategically important military and commercial port of Gwadar. The Iranian part has essential metals for their nuclear program.
For the Taliban and al-Qaeda to move there could be a major problem for the Iranians, as long as the Taliban and al-Qaeda focused on them, and the Pak army would let them. And if they turned their attentions to the port, the Chinese would get seriously bent out of shape.
In either case, it would take a lot of pressure off Afghanistan, and really be a serious pain in the butt to Iran or China, or both.
