Violent demonstrations have re-ignited in Cairo over the last two days, as secular demonstrators protest the dominance of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt’s ongoing elections. Troops responded to rock-throwing and arson with gunfire, and at least nine people have been killed.In other news, a mosque in Jacksonville, Florida received a suspicious package in the mail, causing a bomb scare. The police were called and the bomb squad came, but the package turned out to be entirely innocuous. The imam told reporters it was better to be safe than sorry.
Meanwhile, British prime minister David Cameron chided the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, for failing to promote the Christian faith sufficiently. Mr. Cameron says that Britain is a Christian country, and Britons should not be ashamed to say so.

Since, as Orwell showed, ideology is controlled by terminology, perhaps someone ought to produce a glossary of Islamic terms with contents and definitions determined from the counterjihad point of view. This could serve as a standard resource and reference for counterjihadists, and a quick introduction for newbies to the counterjihad scene.

Another porc farm fire in Norway Sunday night
- 800 pigs dead
Farmer to hospital after 95 piglets rescued
"The police does not yet know how the fire started".
Why, of the three barns, the two others, the sheep, and the cattle barns, was it the porc barn that caught fire?
Quote:
Yet, with its focus on such wholesome archetypes as a police officer, a newlywed couple and a football coach, “All-American Muslim” struck many reviewers as too tepid to be entertaining.

Tepid?
How about banal?
How about a show of the banality of evil?
