Tuesday Links

I’m weary of opining, so I’m going to fall back on throwing out some links to stories that I found informative.

Hardly Innocent. A closer look at why some Muslim imams, who claim they were unfairly discriminated against, were singled out on an airline flight.

U.S. Plan To Send African Troops Into Somalia ‘Would Trigger War’. A thinktank says that opposing the Islamic courts in Somalia could “destabilise the entire region.” Um, what exactly do they think is happening there right now, a tea party?

The Hijab, a weapon for Islamists worldwide. This article disturbed me. I don’t agree that the hijab is a “weapon” that needs to be disarmed (by forcing women who wear them to take them off). If a woman wants to live her life under an oppressive theology, I don’t see why we should force them to change. (Plenty of women in America are Evangelicals, after all. :) Besides, religious freedom is supposed to be one of the foundations of Western civilization.

Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock file for divorce. I can’t top Waldo’s perfect sarcasm.

Thomas Krehbiel writes The Krehbiel Strikes Back, a moderate commentary on news, media, politics, and culture.
