This week we speak to Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs about the whole giant argument going on within the anti-Jihad movement over cooperation with certain political groups in Europe. Last week we spoke to Filip Dewinter (which you can find here) from the Belgian Political Party, Vlamms Belang. This week we speak to Charles about why he has been raising concerns about the anti-Jihad movment working with certain European groups.
Update: Welcome LGF Lizards.... we've had to take off line some of our older episodes temporarily (before 104) but they will be back up soon! Feel free to download older episodes and subscribe to the iTunes feed to get all future episodes.
Update: iTunes trouble. If you're still having trouble with iTunes try the following. In the Podcast section of iTunes, delete the most recent episode (the one that gives you an error when you try to download it). Click on the little grey triangle to collapse the list of all the shows and then click again to open it WHILE HOLDING the OPTION (for Mac) or SHIFT (for PC) key. You should then be able to get the latest episode.
As ever we have a packed show for you, and this week something arrived in the mail from a group calling themselves "Weapon of Musical Defense". It's a song called Best Nation about the UN's acceptance of the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam. We liked it. A lot. Tell us what you think when we play the song toward the end of the show.
For any who are interested, the Metalized version of Hatikva (the Israeli anthem) is by "Gods of Fire" and they did it for the pod-faded The View from Here.
Meryl Yourish has a fine piece looking at the British Muslims who are despicably trying to relate their experiences in modern Britain with the Jews of Germany in the 1930's.
In blog news this week we look at the Daily Mail's amazing interview with old blog favourite, Rage Boy. They don't think there is anything wrong with Muslim men aiming to marry non-Muslim women to convert them to Islam.
We are aware that there is a little animosity between Charles Johnson and Paul Belien at Brussels journal but that is no reason to overlook some great work. This piece on how Hitler felt about Mohammedanism is a fine piece.
And we couldn't pass up this piece on banning camel beauty contests from LGF as our weird Fatwa of the week.

Technical note: I've increased the file size this week because the song we play sounded so good, I felt it needed the extra bandwidth. I beg your forgiveness if it takes a little longer to download this week's show.
