After a pledge from the EU to effectively subsidize Greece, the Greek bond market took off. A high demand for its bonds generated a yield of 4.55% and caused them to sell out. The euro’s original euphoria has passed, however, and its value dropped today.
In other news, President Barack Hussein Obama indulged himself yet again in his favorite hobby, and bowed to the president of China. Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism.

Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism.
In this Erdogan is actually correct. There is no Islamic terrorism, there is only its quest for global dominance and that includes the use of every single imaginable method, be it nuclear attacks, atrocities, genocide or any other barbarous practice that suits its whim.
Robert Marchenoir identified this with great accuracy when he noted how Islam is what Muslims do. And what Muslims do (the thundering silence of their fellow believers notwithstanding), is inflict every form of tyranny and violence upon our world as they seek to impose global shari'a law. What could be more clear?
