They don’t call the religion ’submission’ for nothing:
It’s the capital’s fastest growing religion, based on noble traditions and compassionate principles, yet Islam can still be tainted by mistrust and misunderstanding. Here Time Out argues that an Islamic London would be a better place…we should recognise both what Islam has given this city already, and the advantages it would bring across a wide range of areas in the future.
Although England has a long tradition of religious bigotry against, for instance, Roman Catholics, it is reasonable to assume that under the guiding hand of Islam a civilised accommodation could be made among faith groups in London
The long-threatened American invasion of Europe has begun. The worst fears of commentators appear to have come true as American marines have been pinned down on the beaches of the Normandy region of France. Mass casualties are reported in this ill-advised, and disproportionate response to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour.
Speaking to reporters, Urs Uberhoffer, chairman of CANR (Council for American Nazi Relations) said: “What are we doing in France? We weren’t attacked by France. The enemy is in Asia, in Japan. Hirohito and Tojo are still free in their Palaces in Tokio, while we waste lives and kill civilians in France”. Asked to speculate on why America was attacking France, Uberhoffer suggested the influence of the Jewish lobby.
Amnesty International is reporting that at least 200 civilians were killed when American artillery targeted the village of Caen.
For more on the attack, take a look at the video below. If you are in the Washington, DC area, the German-American Bund together with GetAlong.org and CANR are planning a march on the White House to protest the destruction of civilians and the attack on France.
3 hours of Christopher Hitchens and Hugh Hewitt going head to head. Maybe that’s a tad overblown because I don’t think it’ll be the least bit antagonistic. Hugh Hewitt is one of the fairest interviewers on radio, he listens to people and lets them have their say. Hitchens is a regular guest on Hewitt’s show (as are Lileks, Steyn, and Yoni Tidi which are three more reasons to listen to it).
Hewitt for the uninitiated is a “God Blogger”, an author of a detailed bio on Mitt Romney, and a professor of constitutional law. He worked in the Reagan administration and built the Nixon presidential library. He’s right on the war, and wrong on God and the source of morality.
You can download Hewitt on iTunes, but you’ll need to register at Townhall.com . You can listen to the show streamed over the internet here. I’ll be putting up a downloadable .MP3 of the show on Wednesday. Until then, here is a sample of Hitchens on Hewitt’s show:
“The Great God Debate” is Tuesday, June 5. The entire show will be given over to a debate between Christopher Hitchens, author most recently of god Is Not Great, and Dr. Mark Roberts, theologian, professor, pastor, New Testament scholar and author of many books including the just published Can We Trust The Gospels?
Dean Barnett sits in for me as I travel tomorrow and prepare for the conversation. A show has 15 segments, and the first four of each hour will be given over to a proposition which I will put on the table and to which Hitchens and Roberts can respond and then cross comment or pose each other questions. If you would like to suggest one of the propositions –there will be twelve in all, as I will give the last segment of each hour which is short for brief statements by both participants– you can send it to me at hugh@hughhewitt.com.
My favourite podcast is out. It’s fab, except for this one Israeli commenter who is just awful. Israelly Cool had a good blog, speaks English just saying…
