At a University like this, Muslims are still making demands for cultural accommodation

UPDATE: Great News – Trinity will now NOT be removing ‘the year of our Lord’ from their diplomas. Full story here.

It’s 624 AD again. Multikulti madness hits the Lone Star State:

A group of students at Trinity University is lobbying trustees to drop a reference to “Our Lord” on their diplomas, arguing it does not respect the diversity of religions on campus.

How safe would you feel living next door to a government like this?

Ynet News is reporting this morning that employees of a Gaza bank say Hamas police officers seized nearly $300,000 from a Gaza City branch, claiming they had a court order allowing them to take funds that had been frozen by their Palestinian rivals in Fatah.

The Islamic militant group has been in a bitter dispute with the Western-backed leaders of Fatah since seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 in battles that left the Palestinians with rival governments. Fatah controls the West Bank. Bank staff spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Show this to your ‘Palestine’-supporting friends the next time you hear them bleating about a ‘two-state solution’. How would they like to live next door to neighbours like these?
