    So, #TommyRobinson got sent to a high-security UK prison for a trivial & usually-ignored civil infraction. But Koranic teacher #SulemanMaknojioa sexually abused a girl & was spared jail time. Anyone else note an inconsistency in the UK "justice" system"?

    About a 1K people milled about #PhiladelphiaCityHall this afternoon, centered around a cone-shaped pillow-like item bearing Trump's face. People ritualistically kicked, slammed, and punched it to much applause. It's disturbing because symbolic violence leads to actual violence.

    .@nytimes editorial writer @MaraGay: "nearly everything that has made America exceptional grew out of slavery." As historian, I am speechless at this ignorance As American, I am appalled at this ugly revisionism As media observer, I am not surprised by this vile anti-Americanism

    It looks like @lsarsour has engaged in fraud, pretending to raise money for 11 #Jews murdered in a Pittsburgh #synagogue but really sending the money to an #Islamist mosque. Why am I not shocked? And why will the mainstream media not report on this news?

    As a former staff member of the @Heritage Foundation, I have long been uneasy how @KevinRobertsTX moved it from traditional conservatism to MAGA excess. But Roberts' apology for a neo-Nazi? Execrable and career-ending. Time to dump him, Board of Trustees. #MichaelWGleba,

    There has been speculation that @Heritage is distancing itself from @TuckerCarlson over the past 24 hours. I want to put that to rest right now—here are my thoughts:

    Perhaps the single most dramatic picture of how #COVID19 has changed life: The Great Mosque in #Mecca and the #Kaaba within it. Normally full of pilgrims through the day & night, it's now starkly empty. I believe this has never before happened in 1,398 years of Islamic history.

    So, the first #Palestinian ever to enter the #USCongress announces on her 2nd day in office her intention to impeach #Trump, publicly uses the most vulgar term in the history of Congress & stands by her obscenity. Me: Americans now get to enjoy a version of what #Israelis face.

    Yes, the official name of the virus is #COVID19. But that hides the Chinese government's responsibility. Vote here for your preferred name. (CCP = Chinese Communist Party)

    One Mukhlis bin Muhammad was lashed 28 times for adultery in the Islamically v strict #Aceh region of #Indonesia. What makes this global news is that Mr Mukhlis was part of the Aceh #Ulema Council that helped impose flogging for adultery. Too delicious.

    #Israel's "Deposit Law" deducts 20% from the salaries of illegal migrants, handing over this money only when they leave. This encourages them to deport voluntarily. As the funds pile up, It's working better & better. Hello, Europe & US. Paying attention?

    Bravo to @SloanRachman for asking about the views of a high @WhiteHouse employee. Shame on @JDVance for attacking her rather than answering her question. Makes one suspicious, no?

    Sloan Rachmuth is a "journalist" who has decided to obsessively attack a staffer in his 20s because she doesn't like the views of his father. Every time I see a public attack on Buckley it's a complete lie. And yes, I notice ever person with an agenda who unfairly attacks a

    A remarkable & heart-warming headline from the UK's @Independent: "Muslim women wear #kippahs over their #hijabs in solidarity with Jewish community after antisemitic attack: 'Kippah march' triggered by assault in Berlin of 2 young men wearing skullcaps"

    I really like the new direction of #SaudiArabia under #MbS: As part of @Vision2030Saudi, its students now learn about Hindu epics like #Ramayana & #Mahabharata. A parent responds: This "will help build a future that is inclusive, liberal, and tolerant."
    Saudi Arabia includes Ramayana, Mahabharata in new curriculum for students
