American media works ceaselessly to reveal details of our secret wartime plans to the world, but they’re completely uninterested in conducting investigations like this: Revealed: preachers’ messages of hate.

An undercover investigation has revealed disturbing evidence of Islamic extremism at a number of Britain’s leading mosques and Muslim institutions, including an organisation praised by the Prime Minister.
Secret video footage reveals Muslim preachers exhorting followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the hijab, and to create a ‘state within a state’. Many of the preachers are linked to the Wahhabi strain of Islam practised in Saudi Arabia, which funds a number of Britain’s leading Islamic institutions.
A forthcoming Channel 4 Dispatches programme paints an alarming picture of how preachers in some of Britain’s most moderate mosques are urging followers to reject British laws in favour of those of Islam. Leaders of the mosques have expressed concern at the preachers’ activities, saying they were unaware such views were being disseminated.
At the Sparkbrook mosque, run by UK Islamic Mission (UKIM), an organisation that maintains 45 mosques in Britain and which Tony Blair has said ‘is extremely valued by the government for its multi-faith and multicultural activities’, a preacher is captured on film praising the Taliban. In response to the news that a British Muslim solider was killed fighting the Taliban, the speaker declares: ‘The hero of Islam is the one who separated his head from his shoulders.’
Another speaker says Muslims cannot accept the rule of non-Muslims. ‘You cannot accept the rule of the kaffir [non-Muslim],’ a preacher, Dr Ijaz Mian, tells a meeting held within the mosque. ‘We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others.’

Cats In The Belfry

Man sues cops over seizure of 114 frozen felines, dog named Snowy
JANUARY 5--A Tennessee man who kept 114 dead cats and a dead German Shepherd named Snowy in three freezers is suing police for seizing and destroying the frosty animal carcasses, which, he claims, had "emotional value" to him and were destined for a pet cemetery he was building. William Davis wants $1.5 million from the Murfreesboro Police Department and other defendants, according to a complaint filed last week in Rutherford County Chancery Court. A copy of the lawsuit can be found below. According to the 75-year-old Davis, police and animal control officers raided his home twice in December 2003 and took the frozen animals, along with 46 cats, one dog, and assorted "wild game meat." Included among the cats removed from his home and later euthanized, Davis charges, were Pixie Bob, Miss Patchwork, and Big Duke.

Q: What was Saddam's last word?

A: Shiiiite

God these guys suck

The latest from Iran's leadership (ht: The Corner's Michael Rubin):

An Iranian legislative official said that a satellite rocket recently made by Iranian scientists will soon have a lift-off. Chairman of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaoddin Boroujerdi made the remarks in a meeting with a group of religious students and clerics in the city of Qom on Monday. ...

The lawmaker further described the launch of operation by a network of 3000 centrifuges as a factor stabilizing Iran's nuclear capabilities, and underlined, "As soon as the westerners find out that Iran's nuclear capabilities are established, they will be forced to negotiate with us, because they are well aware of the fact that if they intend to pressurize Iran, the Islamic Republic will eventually withdraw from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and that's what they are afraid of."

It is all smoke, mirrors, satellites and centrifuges. I missed that Ahmadinejad sent a letter to the Pope last week, but it is hard to miss the Iranian president's ibcreasingly defiant tone on the stump:

The U.S. and its allies ``should know that our nation is not afraid of them,'' Ahmadinejad, pronounced ah-ma-deen-ah-ZHAD, told supporters. ``They can neither make Iranians give up through threat, bullying, pressure and issuing of worthless resolutions, nor threatening them with sanctions.''
And again:

"You are nobody," he told the Western powers. Recalling the West's support for Iraq, then ruled by Saddam Hussein, during its eight year war with Iran in the 1980s, he said: "If all the powers that supported Saddam in his war against Iran were to regroup and confront Iran again, Iranians would deliver a historic slap in their face."
