Marie Harf Epic Fail

There's a cancer eating away at our world, the deadly, contagious disease of Violent Extremism. Luckily, the University of Virginia is on the case in the form of Marie Harf, who shills for her Harvard overlords.

We can't "kill our way" out of ISIS savagery, she says, instead we've got to get down to the "root causes" of Islamic Violent Extremism that obviously isn't Islamic. Root causes like "lack of opportunity for jobs."

Before you cough up your Ash Wednesday Clam Chowder, take the time to read this, from the Atlantic. Seriously, worth the time.

I disagree with his Salafist antidote, but like the good analysis of the causes that Ms. Harf so epically fails to note. Causes that are, in the end, inherent with Islam itself. Or, to put it another way, why should the followers of the Prophet be expected to behave differently than the Prophet himself?

Good question and, Ms. Harf, you fail.

ISIS continues to laugh.

Large Hadron Collider

Pulled myself from the sickbed that I've been confined to for the last few days to discover strange goings on in the anti-matter community. According to the Daily Telegraph, two scientists, Holger Nielsen, from Denmark, and Masao Ninomiya, from Japan, have proposed that the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) will be sabotaged by its own future. This is because the Bosun Higgs particle that it might discover may be so 'abhorrent to nature' as to go back in time to stop the Collider's discoveries. Curious, but maybe the threat to the world's largest, highest energy particle accelerator is more present tense.

It seems that one of the nuclear physicists, Algerian Dr. Adlene Hicheur, involved in the LHC project is an aspiring Al Quaeda terrorist - or 'militant'. After his arrest by French police, Hicheur evidently confessed planning to attack nuclear facilities.

Some might say that Hicheur and associates are from the future world of the Twelfth Imam, others again argue that we needn't look so far afield to find apocalyptic adherents of the Mahdi. Either way, terrifying prospect.
