Like millions of other Americans, I am stunned and vigilant after the events surrounding September 2009’s G20 Summit in Pittsburgh, PA. I am trying very hard not to jump to conclusions about any of the video clips I have watched, because I suppose part of me is yet hopeful that at least a few of these are staged by students or Anarchists to stir up trouble. However, when I see the overwhelming amount of video footage streaming in and I see what look to be police and military taking action covertly with one another and in some cases right in the open, I am not put at ease. Not everything could be ’staged’ for our eyes. In fact, I’m wondering why the President of the United States is not immediately demanding answers from his Chiefs of Staff and discussing the Posse Comitatus Act.
The following article written by Abbey Fenbert, The fear of footbaths: It’s not exactly jihad, caught my eye this morning. The NYU student makes some pretty amusing statements. Well, amusing to me because I’m the jaded infidel, probably sad for most of you. Let’s have a look:
The Muslims are coming. They have footbaths. RUN!!!
WSN’s Sept. 24 article, “Muslims lacking a place to cleanse,” pointed out that footbaths might be a better option than the Bobst sinks for Islamic students washing their feet in observance of Salah, the daily prayer ritual. This provoked passionate debate in the online article comments, with many readers posting responses best described as bat-shit crazy.
From the North Carolina News & Observer, with thanks to reader DG for pointing this out:
The former Enloe High School history teacher who invited a Christian evangelist to speak to his students is not taking his reprimand quietly.
Social studies teacher Robert Escamilla said the Wake County school system squelched free speech and academic freedom — and he is finding a growing group of supporters.
The Islamic “imprinting” onto your kids continues; very much like one particular story that caught plenty of attention here on the Anvil before. Thanks to Always on Watch for alerting me to this article from The Cabinet Press:
AMHERST- For one night, on May 9, the quaint colonial town of Amherst, New Hampshire, was transformed into a Saudi Arabian Bedouin tent community, with the help of 80 seventh-graders at the Amherst Middle School. The weather cooperated, providing 85 degree temperatures to give an authentic Saudi feel to the evening.
