US: Ayaan Hirsi Ali at Fox News
I know our Beloved Benevolent Overlord* Robert Spencer has posted about this at Jihad Watch. But Hirsi Ali's delivery of her disagreement with Alan Colmes is just perfect:
"I'm afraid that's... that's not the truth."

Watch it at Hot Air, and spread the word among your family, friends, and non-violent enemies. This little video deserves to be watched: Ayaan Hirsi Ali argues with Alan Colmes about Islam
* No, Mr. Spencer is not really our Overlord. I joke because many, if not most of our readers, also visit Jihad Watch. (As the writers do.)

This is a little OT, but then again, sort of relevant given Colmes' discomfort at a bit of straight talking. It's a copy of a comment I made on Up Pompeii earlier. I thought it would bear repeating here and there given what we know of the MSM's reluctance to be blunt with the facts, not just in the U.S and U.K., but all across Western civilisation .
First read this (I've posted it before, but remind yourself anyway):
"" U. K. Government: Islamic Propaganda.
Statements [1] and [2] below are taken from a U. K. Government document - "How journalists can contribute to community cohesion".
Section [1] basically advises journalists that any one who opposes Islamic extremists should be portrayed by the media as racist and accused of hiding behind a cloak of respectability while Section [2] advises journalists to conceal the statements and actions of Islamic extremists from the public.
The document also contains threats of criminal prosecution in the event of a media group or journalist that has been deemed not to have acted in the interests of "community cohesion".
“A journalist will be guilty of an offence if he or she intends to stir up racial hatred or, having regard to all the circumstances, racial hatred is likely to be stirred up by what is published.”
U. K. Government: Islamic Propaganda.
[1] Expose and counter racist propaganda. Bigots who hide behind a cloak of respectability can be the most damaging. Make sure they are always drawn into the open and their words never go unchallenged.
[2] Take care in reporting extremists. Generally quote people who are representative. Be wary of those with views that might make good copy but to most people seem extreme. Though it is sometimes essential to quote such extremists, be sure to place their views in the context of the numbers they might represent. Be aware of creating negative images. Minorities carry the burden of being different. Don’t make them synonymous with the things that worry everyone, like terrorism, subjugation of women, forced marriage, illegal immigration, fraudulent benefits claims and cruel animal slaughter. Few are. ""

Then go and read this.

Maybe I'm just paranoid ...
Regarding difficulties with postings and with comments on Blogger, and my finding that it's only anti-muslim and other 'anti' type political sites:
It's noticable that these problems only started when Google took over Blogger.
And Google has already shown itself to be totally craven when subjected to political pressure ...
Naah ... really ... I'm just paranoid. Dib dib :)
