The Baron is Away, But the Tips Keep Coming

These are not in their usual format; the Baron’s macros are on his computer, not mine.

Nonetheless here are the stories from hither and yon…and the other usual suspects:

MADRID -
A groundbreaking Saudi-sponsored interfaith dialogue on Friday, July 18, called for criminalizing blasphemy and for drafting an international agreement to combat terrorism.

“(The conference) calls for international organizations to work to issue a document stating respect of faiths and religious symbols and criminalizing those insulting them,” said the conference in a final communiqué.

British Captive Commits Suicide in May. The Captors Finally Get Around to Notifying the UK

A Shiite militia that has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of five Britons in Iraq more than a year ago said one of its hostages committed suicide, according to a British newspaper report on Sunday.


Sunday laugh. The Baron looked at this closely before he left. As far as he could tell it wasn’t photo-shopped. But you can weigh in on that one.

Definitely worth a click.


Oh those clever Chinese and their honey traps.


From the UK:

Ready or not, they’re coming through.

One version of this in the email, and another in the comments.

Both depressing.


An unfortunate entanglement, but…

a happy ending thanks to a heroic pilot.

In the strictest interpretation of Saudi wording, those are mutually exclusive terms.

In otherwords, Freedom of Speech, goes straight out the window. How come Christians can tolerate whatever is thrown their way, but Muslims believe they should not have to tolerate any words against Islam or they feel the need to smite someone's neck?

It has become painfully aware to me that most people will cower with fear when they are intimidated and threatened by Muslims. Has anyone ever thought that the best medicine is usually someone else's medicine? It may be time to start the buddy-up system.

Since Islam's only currency is extreme violence, it's long past tea to begin paying Islam in its own coin. Nothing will change until Muslims get a taste of their own medicine. You'll know when they've tasted even the least drop as their howls will be deafening.
