The Dutch Muslim Party has announced plans to seek seats in the Dutch Parliament.

That such a party even exists in the Netherlands is more than disturbing. And those thinking why anyone should have a problem with a muslim party in that country, or any other civilized one, reading up on how gays, women, non-muslims, freedom of speech, freedom of religion (particularly, the lack of freedom to leave islam without being sentenced to death for it) and the practice of free thinking and skeptical inquiry are viewed in islam ought to show them why the existence of such a political party is a problem.

It's some measure of the ire Americans are feeling towards illegal immigration that they want to make traffic stops (which they already hate) even more intrusive.

China is now poising itself to take credit for a period of 'stability' in the Middle-East...it is unlikely that they do not realize that this has the potential to become a recognized commitment to back "peace" with military forces.

On the bright side, someone has figured out that publishing detailed instructions of how to wipe out most of the human race has a downside...even if the only downside they admit is having the human race object to this.
