We’ve had more than 5,000 spinoff links posted since I launched the feature, and the new click counter is working very nicely, so here’s another open linkage thread.

Note that there are two new categories for posting links: “Law” and “Military.” And there is also a new option in the top rated links area, to show the “10 Most-Clicked Links.”

616 comments

  • Posts that contain phone numbers, street addresses, email addresses or other personal information will also be deleted, as will posts that consist only of a variation on the word, "First!"
  • Comments that advocate violence will be cause for immediate banning with no appeal.

Not sure what to think.

WASHINGTON - A high school track star has been disqualified from a meet because officials said the custom-made outfit she wears to conform to her Muslim faith violated competition rules.

Juashaunna Kelly, a senior at the District of Columbia's Theodore Roosevelt High School, has the fastest mile and 2-mile times of any girl runner in the city this winter. She was disqualified from Saturday's Montgomery Invitational indoor track and field meet.

Kelly was wearing the same uniform she has worn for three seasons while running for Theodore Roosevelt's cross-country and track teams. The custom-made, one-piece blue and orange unitard covers her head, arms, torso and legs. Over the unitard, she wears the same orange and blue T-shirt and shorts as her teammates.

The outfit allows her to compete while adhering to her Muslim faith, which forbids displaying any skin other than her face and hands.

"It's not special," Kelly said. "It doesn't make me perform better."

But meet director Tom Rogers said Kelly's uniform violated rules of the National Federation of State High School Associations, which sanctioned the event. Uniforms are required to be "a single-solid color and unadorned, except for a single school name or insignia no more than 2 1/4 inches," he said.

Zombie,

be careful of incendiary stories on the web. I have been following this crisis pretty closely, here is my latest, and I haven't heard anything about this. Even if true, you are still trying to make guilt by association. How close is this cousin? Should we really blame Obama for his actions, which as of yet are unconfirmed.

I think there is a legitimate way to bring Obama down to size. Here is my analysis.

Hey everybody, Nihad Awad has three simple steps to Mideast peace. Why didn't we think to use "tough love?" (Does CAIR belong to AA?)

But what can any president or candidate do to change this situation?

First, he or she needs to clearly define America's interests and explain that our interests are not always in complete alignment with those of Israel.

Second, any domestic supporter of Israel should use tough love to explain to that nation's leaders why uncritical American support for the continued occupation and humiliation of the Palestinian people will inevitably lead to universal recognition that the term "Apartheid" is applicable after all.

And finally, elected officials and candidates for public office should be ready to speak these truths to the American public, and to resist the temptation to take the safe path of pandering to a powerful domestic lobby that has skewed our Middle East policy for too long.

Its called the MSM Bible, page 1

Commandment # 1> If the story makes Bush and/ or any republican look the least bit bad, print on PAGE 1 above the fold.

Commandment #2> If the story in any way deals with a democrat that did something wrong, illegal and/ or immoral, put it on page 36, lower right corner, and do NOT mention party affiliation!

As long as you obey those 2 MSM commandments, you will have a long and proslerous career in journalism

So, certain Jews, Christians and Muslim women should be excluded from a state-sponsored sport which can provide college scholarhsips?

The hijab is not required by the Koran. So this girl puts forth a false argument to begin with. No one excluded her from the competition. She excluded herself.

Hamas and Islamic Millenarianism: What the West Doesn't Recognize
by Paul Landau

Some 20 years after its founding, the Palestinian organization Hamas remains little understood in the West. Although it is invoked nearly daily in the media, it has been the subject of only a very small number of serious studies. The most common error made by observers in considering contemporary Islamist movements -- and notably, Hamas -- is that of attempting to grasp them in terms of concepts and modes of thought that are proper to the West. Most western analyses of the phenomenon of Islamism tend to underestimate or even obscure a fundamental element that is common to all the various Islamist currents and organizations: namely, the role of specifically Muslim religious beliefs and, more precisely, of Islamic eschatology.
