Are you in college or know a current student? Are you taking any Middle East Studies courses? If so, then read on! From Jihad Watch:
Professor Carl Ernst of the University of North Carolina recently saw fit to include a trip to Jihad Watch — in a disparaging context, of course — in his “Introduction to Islamic Civilization” course. Ernst thus demonstrates how threatened he is by the challenge we represent to the Middle East Studies academic establishment and the propaganda it purveys in our nation’s universities.
One of my favorite atheists shares some very interesting insights this morning that I feel worthy of a cross-posting. From Hugh Fitzgerald of the famously undhimmified Jihad Watch:
Former Nixon aide Robert D. Crane is a convert to Islam, and his biography — the one he himself composed — shows other evidence of mental bizarrerie (to see it, google “Robert D. Crane” and “Posted by Hugh” and “Jihad Watch”). He has a vested interest in protecting Islam, and protecting as well his own emotional investment in Islam, as a convert. At this point, he is unlikely to say — it would be impossible for him to say, given his mental makeup, to say or even to allow himself a glimmer of a hint of saying or thinking anything like this: “Yes, you’re right, I ‘reverted’ to something I did not understand.”

Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch writes:
“It has all failed. And that is despite the enormous efforts of American soldiers, who were never taught about Islam, and yet persevered, and were puzzled when the Muslims of Iraq did not behave, as those soldiers expected them to, as a grateful “Iraqi people,” but rather as a collection — with a handful of exceptions — of grasping, whining, greedy, meretricious people, eager to have the Americans do everything for them, eager to have them lavish them with aid money (thrown around, by the billions, like confetti), and distinctly indifferent to American losses when not taking outright pleasure in such losses, yet always willing to blame the Americans for everything.”
Hugh Fitzgerald @ Jihad Watch responds to a poignant question today and my own comment follows:
A reader asks, “Is anyone else getting bored with Iraq and Islam?”
So, by now you hopefully have discovered the new focal point of Foehammer’s Anvil: my map. Wondering what this is all about?
Well, I was inspired by the words of Hugh Fitzgerald in a thread over at Dhimmi Watch recently. He basically put out the idea that someone should build a museum and a corresponding virtual representation of it to show the world what great monuments, temples, statues, artwork, landmarks, cemetaries, etc. have been destroyed by the incursions of Islamic peoples and beliefs. Well, I can not afford to build a museum, but I realized that I do have the means and the skill to create a virtual representation of that very idea.
