When I first heard of ‘Halal Pork’ it was in French and already making waves in Europe. ‘Bakon Halal’ as it was called was a specialty on the menu at Muslim Beurger, a fast growing chain which started in Paris.

Last week, everyone in the world survived April Fool’s Day with their dignity intact, except Jordan. A Jordanian newspaper ran a front page story claiming that space aliens had landed in the city of Jafr, causing residents to flood the streets with panic, lock up their children, and above all, lose their minds. It’s no doubt hilarious and reminiscent of H.G. Well’s reading of War of the Worlds over the radio back in 1938. The jokesters involved with the hoax apologized for the inconveniences caused as they obviously only meant to entertain people.

Oh France, you’ve really done it this time. First, the French took issue with the Muslim headscarf. Then they figured, let’s go after the ‘Burqa’ to really make Muslim women look like “us”.

This is one weird preemptive strike though.

The UK Telegraph is reporting that potential terrorists, and even common criminals, have a new threat to worry about when trying to evade capture and it’s as plain as the nose on their faces. That’s right, new technology recently unveiled by British scientists places great emphasis on “nose analysis” as a credible means of identification for criminals. Read More

Oh France, you have done it again. After attempts to ban the hijab, the burqa, and the niqab - as visible symbols of the “Islamification” of the precious French (i.e. white) identity - there is a new controversy that finds French Muslims unwillingly pitted against their non-Muslim countrymen.Read More
