    Keith Olbermann scares easily . . The Countdown host says he found folks peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights to petition the government for redress of grievances "terrifying." For good measure, he slurred the people protesting ObamaCare at the Capitol today as looking like "a pro-apartheid rally in South Africa." The timorous Olbermann confessed his fright to WaPo columnist Gene Robinson. Click to view video.

    A RADICAL Muslim group sparked outrage last night as it launched a massive campaign to impose sharia law on Britain. The fanatical group Islam4UK has ­announced plans to hold a potentially ­incendiary rally in London later this month. And it is calling for a complete upheaval of the British legal system, its officials and ­legislation. Members have urged Muslims from all over Britain to converge on the capital on October 31 for a procession to demand the full implementation of sharia law. The procession – dubbed March 4 Shari’ah – will start at the House of Commons, which the group’s...

    The holiday review website Zoover has released a list of the world's most dangerous destinations with the harbor city of Durban at the top. The South African city of Durban is first on the list for being notorious for lack of personal safety. Durban is followed by Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, which is known for its criminal activity and corruption. "At first glance it appears to be a beautiful city but in reality it's polluted and we were robbed at gunpoint of our money, sunglasses and sports shoes in the Ipanema suburb," said traveler Jeroen van den Bos.

    Stop Blaming the Messenger By Ari Bussel Ten days ago, the Los Angeles Times published an Op-Ed by an Israeli Professor from Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU). The article called for a boycott of Israel. It was neither on the front page nor written by a known anti-Semite, but the community is up in arms. Suddenly, the local Jewish community in Greater Los Angeles finds the message delivered daily by the Los Angeles Times unpleasant. I say suddenly, but over the past three decades, there have been repeated calls to cancel subscriptions and withdraw advertisement dollars, to very...

    While much has been made of Sen. Ted Kennedy's involvement in the Northern Ireland peace process, there is another country in which he is known for playing a pivotal role in helping to bring about peace and justice – South Africa. In 1985 Kennedy visited the country on the invitation of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, an outspoken anti-apartheid activist. There, the United States senator saw first hand the discriminatory practices of the white South African government. He stayed in a black township and held an illegal protest outside of Pollsmor Prison where Nelson Mandela was being held. Warned by the South...

    Arabs in eastern Jerusalem told Reuters they intend to exploit next weeks’ papal visit to involve the Pope in a “war for each piece of land…every tile in the house” in the capital. The statements add evidence to charges that the Pope’s visit already is involved more with politics than religion. Adnan Husseini, former director-general of the Muslim Waqf department in Jerusalem and now special advisor to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, told the news agency, "There is a battle on every piece of land in Jerusalem. In every room, every house in Jerusalem there is a battle.”

    As they hosted factually challenged programs to coincide with “Israel Apartheid Week,” college campuses across North America achieved new heights of intellectual vacuity and sophistry. On campus after campus, malicious ideologues were given license to demonize Israel by advancing the canard that the Jewish State engages in apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. That such claims cannot be supported by a shred of objective evidence and could constitute libel and slander if hurled against nonpublic figures and entities is irrelevant to the hate mongers who utter them. Instead, these thugs and bullies are secure in the knowledge that the institutions providing...

It was an idea that, given 20th-century European history, had a particular resonance. The argument is, that from AD 430 to 730, the Germanic conquerors of Britain formed an elite, with a servant underclass of native Britons. Inter-marriage was restricted, and the invaders and their genes flourished. "But it is just not necessary to...

  • Franchising “Apartheid”: Why South Africans Push the Analogy

    ON A COLD NIGHT IN Johannesburg last year, a bus pulled up outside the American consulate. It was the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War in the Middle East-June being a winter month in South Africa-and several dozen activists planned to mark the occasion by protesting U.S. support for "Apartheid Israel." The protest was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee and most of the demonstrators were South African Muslims.[1] Among their number, however, were black South Africans who shared the organizers' hostility to Israel. Or so it seemed. A reporter discovered that some of the black demonstrators "were not...

    The antics of a group of white university students in South Africa have been condemned after they humiliated black campus staff on video. The incident has highlighted that racism still thrives in South African society. But now South Africa's Human Rights Commission is looking to Australia for inspiration in dealing with the ghosts of apartheid. As an undergraduate prank, it was in typically bad taste: a group of university students film campus staff sculling beer, eating foul food and attempting difficult physical feats. Harmless enough - or so thought the elderly cleaning staff roped into the prank. They, along with...

    JOHANNESBURG, March 4 (Reuters) - Ruling ANC party leader Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday that racism was still a major problem in South Africa, after a video in which white university students degraded black campus cleaners sparked outrage. It showed white students feeding the workers soup they had earlier appeared to urinate in at the University of the Free State, provoking fury in a country scarred by apartheid. University classes were cancelled and staff and students protested, demanding action against the four men. The video was released by South Africa's eTV television channel last week. Zuma called for a non-racist...

    JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (CNN) -- Black students on a university campus in central South Africa resumed their protests Tuesday against a racist video that showed white students tricking black workers into tasting stew laced with urine. Students protest against a racist video on the campus of Free State University in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

Authorities arrested 28 protesting students. The students want classes boycotted until Friday, when university officials are expected to decide whether...

    South Africa: No White Journalists At Zuma Address Business Day (Johannesburg) 22 February 2008 Posted to the web 22 February 2008 Hajra Omarjee Johannesburg AN INVITATION to African National Congress (ANC) president Jacob Zuma to address a function exclusively for black journalists today has become a public relations nightmare for the organisers. The ANC defended the move yesterday, saying that while the party was multiracial it respected the Forum for Black Journalists' "constitutional right" to organise along racial lines, and would not dictate to them. The forum, formed in 1996, relaunches in Johannesburg today. Zuma was invited as a guest...

    Saudi Daily Arab News: The Saudi Woman Is Always To Blame for Her Problems In December 2007, the Saudi English-language daily Arab News published an op-ed by Dania Al-Ghalib titled "The Saudi Woman is Always Guilty."

    Senior religious leaders attack multiculturalism and sharia law today, warning that they are "disastrous", socially divisive and are destroying Britain's culture and values. Lord Carey and Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor rebut the call of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, for Islamic law to be recognised in Britain. Lord Carey, the former archbishop of Canterbury, said: "His acceptance of some Muslim laws within British law would be disastrous for the nation. He has overstated the case for accommodating Islamic legal codes. "His conclusion that Britain will eventually have to concede some place in law for aspects of sharia is a...
