Stereotype: Neurobiology Majors Just Can’t Resist Those Sexy Seventh-Graders

It’s a familiar problem in every college town: How to keep the neurobiology majors from banging middle-school girls. Oh, sure, the nuclear physics department always has its share of jailbait-chasers and more than a few chemical engineers have a taste for the young stuff, but every university administrator knows this: Nine times out of 10, […]

LGF Auto-Beclownment Update

Really, I should feel guilty for so thoroughly enjoying these predictable outbreaks of Johnsonian idiocy. In case you didn’t notice, the terrorist attack in London this week was not committed by radical Belgians or militant creationists or any of the other overblown right-wing bogeymen that occupy the demented mind of Jazzy McPonytail. No, it was […]

Muslim Student Association Doesn’t Get Credit for Soccer League Sponsorship

Kind of an interesting omission, don’t you think?

Sunday’s raids were the latest in a French operation […]

Islamists Target African Christians

Pamela Geller today highlights the atrocities against Christians in Nigeria attributed to the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram. Boko Haram “has killed hundreds in its campaign to impose Sharia law” since 2010, the BBC reports, describing the latest attacks: The violence comes on the same day that the Pope — as part of his Christmas Day address — prayed for […]

‘The Greatest Feelings of Prejudice’

This is called “blaming the victims” : Pickering said that Americans’ lack of familiarity with Islam –and not Islamic terrorist attacks on Americans— fuels hostility toward Muslims. “Data shows that those Americans who do not know Muslims, who do not know much about Islam, are the ones who harbor the greatest feelings of prejudice,” he […]

Islam, Terrorism, and the Truth

What’s wrong with President Obama’s explanation about the attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya? Well, yes, everything — newly released e-mails provide further proof of that — but what’s wrong with the Benghazi story is symptomatic of a larger problem, as historian Daniel Mandel explains: In the final presidential debate on October 22, President […]
