Hyscience's Blog Picks For Today
Topics: Blogger Round-upHere are our selection of blog readings that we believe to be some of today's more informative and interesting posts:
Alex, writing at Freedom's Zone on what he believes is fueling the Oriana Fallaci case in Italy, an important case for all the West to follow, suggests that the same deceit that characterized L'Affaire Dreyfus, is the foundation of L'Affaire Fallaci; his 'must read' post offers interesting reasons for arguing that the deceit is fueled by anti-Semitism.
Rusty Shackleford at Jawa Report has the story about Jihadweb publishing
an online guide on how to become a terrorist in Iraq. The instructions
(in Arabic) can be downloaded at Rusty's site. After describing how to mentally and physically prepare for becoming a
terrorist in Iraq (including the instructions that you should never
turn down a suicide mission) the author goes on to give advice on how
to get into Iraq.
Armies of Liberation posts on "The End of Europe" in which Jane refers to Stefania Lapenna's article, in which we find comments like "We need to face the fact that the principal goal of this bureaucratic
and obsolete institution was to serve as a counter-weight to American
power. And, "Whatever the reasons of the European citizens' growing dislike
of the institution, it is becoming increasingly clear that the
Europeanists' utopian dreams will never be realized."
Marc Schulman at The American Future and Eric Martin, author of Total Information
Awareness, have teamed up in response to a recent post at the Daily Demarche that invited bloggers from
the left and the right to pair up for cross-blog debates on "the future of
global democracy and the role that the United States should play in the spread
of democracy to oppressed or less developed nations." You should start here and read all the excellently written and well-argued positions from both sides.
Winfield Myers at Democracy Project posts that The Right is Organized Because it has Ideas. He writes that "some thoughtful people on the left know that, if they're to compete with the right in the years ahead, they must organize themselves in some manner that will create a nucleus around which a more coherent movement can form. But vitriol won't suffice as an organizing principle, and in any event, given the sheer number of left-wing thinkers in universities, cultural institutions, and elsewhere, their inability to articulate ideas, as opposed to policy positions, should serve as a warning that difficulties lie ahead."
Israpundit has much to say about the AP wanting it's readers to know that "Israeli actions are upsetting the emotionally fragile "militants" in the West Bank, but that the warm-hearted Palestinians are only threatening to call off their ceasefire."
And last but certainly not least, on a topic that the American and Italian bloggers of Freedom's Zone (numerous posts in English and Italian) have been covering from it's begining, Michele Malkin posts on Robert Spencer's coverage of the Oriana Fallaci case in the IHT.
"These are dangerous times for writers or artists who tread into the always sensitive territory of religion, as incidents ranging from the fatwa against Salman Rushdie to the destruction of an art exhibition in Moscow have shown. But it is disheartening to see representatives of democratic government take the side of those who believe respect for religion justifies censorship. That's what happened when an Italian judge, citing a law forbidding "outrages against religion," ordered the journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci to stand trial over a book that includes provocative assertions about Islam."
