Michael Yon reports from Afghanistan on a disturbing development. UPDATE at 8/6/09 11:11:27 am: I realized that some readers will probably assume that the idea of granting habeas corpus rights to all battlefield detainees comes from the Obama administration, so please note: the administration is opposed to the ruling. ...

Michael Yon in Afghanistan’s Helmand River valley: An Artery of Opium, a Vein of Taliban.
Michael Yon emailed to say he expects to be in combat by the time you read this; here’s his last peaceful dispatch for a while (he says), with lots of fascinating photographs: Some Photos and Captions.
Michael Yon is going back into combat in Afghanistan, alongside the real anti-jihad activists — the US Marines.
Michael Yon is with the real anti-jihad activists (aka, the US and British military) in Afghanistan, and has another must-read report filled with photographs of a very productive lizard hunt: Searching for Kuchi & Finding Lizards.
Another “counter-jihad summit” was held last weekend at a secret, highly secure location somewhere in the wilds of Muslim-occupied Copenhagen. Somehow the brave anti-jihad warriors managed to avoid being beheaded. UPDATE at 5/24/09 5:20:46 pm: Speaking of the fascist sympathizers at Gates of Vienna (linked above), you can now ...

Several emails from a supporter of the “Pro-Köln” group in Germany provide a revealing (if disturbing) glimpse into the mindset of the people who are drawn to these fascist groups. Obscenities are left intact to give you the full experience. (To recap, “Pro-Köln” is the group of neo-Nazi-linked “anti-jihadists” that ...

The gathering of extreme right wing Eurofascist groups (including representatives from Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and France’s Front National) billing itself as the “Pro-Köln Anti-Islamization Congress” wrapped up their event today, with another miserable failure. They promised thousands of supporters would show up, but on the last day the total was ...

The gathering of Eurofascist groups (including representatives from Belgium’s Vlaams Belang and France’s Front National) billing itself as the “Pro-Köln Anti-Islamization Congress” had another disastrous day today, with only around 150 demonstrators showing up (many from Belgium and the Czech Republic) — vastly outnumbered by about 4,000 counter-demonstrators: Colorful Cologne ...

The first day of the “anti-Islamization” conference in Köln, Germany, was an utter disaster for the pro-Köln and pro-NRW groups; only about 80 people showed up at the pro-NRW demonstration in Dormagen, and only 60 at the pro-Köln demonstration in Leverkusen. There were more counter-protesters than anti-Islam protesters in ...

Oddly enough, Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, and Gates of Vienna have absolutely nothing to say about Bruce Bawer’s piece on the meltdown of the anti-jihad movement into a puddle of stinky fascist goo. Their normal response to criticism is to rant, rave, and spew insults, usually within minutes of such ...

Bruce Bawer, author of While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam is Destroying the West from Within and Surrender: Appeasing Islam, Sacrificing Freedom, has issued an unequivocal denunciation of the so-called “anti-jihad” bloggers and writers who are advocating alliances with European fascist parties such as Belgium’s Vlaams Belang. With Bruce’s permission, ...

Mary Madigan has a very good post on the recent revelation that Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller were planning to attend a meeting of the fascist “Pro Köln” group in Germany: Nazis. I hate these guys. The enemy of your enemy is not your friend. When Leftists tolerated and ...

In some more fallout from Dave Weigel’s article for the Washington Independent, Joshua Treviño posted a cheap shot at me a few days ago, in an article titled: A responsible anti-jihadism? Charles Johnson’s disenchantment with a movement he did much to create is more likely a function of his ...

Dave Weigel takes a few shots at me today, by digging up some old LGF posts (I’m getting used to this technique, from all sides): The Washington Independent » A Blast from Charles Johnson’s Past. The posts in which I linked to Pamela Geller were from a different time, before ...

Gegenkritik has a post on the confrontation over Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller’s now-canceled participation in the “pro-Köln” meeting in Germany, with important context on the political background that makes this issue so complex: German conditions. Recently, there has been a major confrontation in the American blogosphere with Charles ...

Since Robert Spencer posted a veiled threat today to attack me physically (quote: “Buckley’s sage advice to Gore Vidal comes to mind at this point”), here’s an interesting article that deals with what Spencer calls Buckley’s “sage advice:” Ego & Argument — The Happy Warrior: William F. Buckley, Jr. Note ...

Robert Spencer says he won’t attend the Pro Koln conference of Eurofascists, after waffling on it and smearing me for days with insults and ad hominem attacks. (Attacks that continue today.) Meanwhile, at the website of Pro Koln, they still say Spencer is going to be the main speaker. This ...

Since Robert Spencer is posting claims from “Pro Koln” organizer Manfred Rouhs that he has no neo-Nazi connections and is not an extremist, here’s a little tidbit of information that might put a crimp in Spencer’s apologetics. Manfred Rouhs is the owner and editor of the website nation24.de. Among other ...

The pro-fascist German website pi-news.net is now claiming that I “forged” the photograph of Filip DeWinter with Markus Beisicht of the “Pro Koln” group: Translated version of http://www.pi-news.net/. This is an outrageous lie. In my previous post, I linked to the site where I found the picture, through Google Images: ...
