Oh, Frivolus Me!

I decided to break my media fast and start trying to find out what has been going on in the world the last couple of weeks so I clicked over to Instapundit only to be greeted by a completely frivolous picture of a mushroom that Glenn took.

This is clearly a sign from gods of the Blogsphere that I continue my vacation from reality. As I am deeply religious when it is to my advantage to be so, I am going to follow this omen.

Look! Grass on the lawn! Isn’t this a wonderful world?

Collected Links

Following the lead of Jay Manifold (without any of his heavy lifting), below you may find links to works worth commenting upon. I don’t have the time (or the knowledge) to add value. (And yes, that is what bloggers are supposed to do, but view this as interactive blogging – part of our new national fitness exercises. Just because I’m lazy doesn’t mean you need to be.) Read on if these categories interest: Benedict’s speech, apocalyptic visions – superficial and dangerous, complaints about Kofi Annan.

Blogger facing deportation to Pakistan

Via Captain’s Quarters:

Issac Schr�dinger of the Liberty and Justice Blog currently is fighting deportation from Canada to his native country of Pakistan.

His coblogger Michael van der Galien writes that

As all of you who have read (some of) his articles will know, Isaac is very critical about radical Islam. He witnessed the results of a culture of radical Islam, he saw the effects of this ideology of hatred and ignorance, how people are forced to live, first-hand. As a result, he understands that Muslim extremists do not just pose a threat to the West, but also to every single person living in ‘Muslim countries’.

As a result, it should be obvious to anyone with any basic knowledge about this subject, it is not exactly safe for him, an apostate, to live in a country in which Muslim extremists have quite some power. He came from Pakistan, was educated in Saudi Arabia, later in the United States and now lives in Canada.

He is currently involved in the battle of his life: in January 2007 one judge will decide whether he should be granted refugee status in Canada or be deported to Pakistan.

(Emphasis mine).

Isaac’s hearing with the Canadian authorities has been scheduled for January 2007.

Michael goes on to say that

You can help.
