You’re probably wondering, like I am, how it can be this pathetically easy to get valid sites censored in this manner. Needless to say I will be discussing this with lawyers in addition to the other recent events. Banning the Anvil and other Anti-Jihad blogs seems to be the order of the day in the Western world.

I should point out that this information goes a long way in verifying my own suspicions which I voiced in a recent interview that you may listen to here.

Well, we aren’t getting fit for our turbans and hijabs just yet. Sorry, CAIR.
