Islamists get a free pass from the West to set up Sharia

Published October 25th, 2012 - 13:00 GMT

As long as regimes don't mess with Israel, it seems the United States and other western powers are fine with women losing their rights and minorities oppressed; a faked Taliban attack in Lebanon; and the Jordanian government just canceled daylight savings time.
As long as Israel is safe, the U.S. is basically saying, 'Sharia for all!'

The Islamists propose a bargain. In exchange for economic aid and political support, they will not threaten what they believe are core Western interests: regional stability, Israel, the fight against terror, energy flow. No danger to Western security. No commercial war.

What to do with Ehab al-Azzi?
When someone tells you that he was attacked by militiamen in Beirut that looked like Afghans (I assume he meant Talibans), with one of them holding a big sword and threatening to cut off his head, you ask him if he’s been smoking some pot first.

Benjamin, Atiaf's husband says, "Just for the record, because no one mentioned it and denied this baseless accusation: I AM NOT ISRAELI, NOR A SPY !!"

On the Government Canceling Daylight Saving Time
So our Jordanian government yesterday decides to “cancel” daylight saving time, which was due to take place tomorrow. Yes. Seriously. Just like that.
