Samizdata slogan of the day. We maintain that the 'Clash of Civilisations' is not only inevitable but imperative. - Hizb Ut Tahrir (as quoted by the Daily Ablution) And there we have it: something that a radical Islamic group has said that I totally agree with.... [Samizdata.net] It's pretty obvious from reading the PDF file the quote was taken from (which strongly resembles fundamentalist Christian publications) and the bigoted comments on the Samizdata.net post that they have considerably more in common than just that. 8:53:09 PM    comment () Reporters' Log: London Tube alert. A number of London Tube stations were evacuated and some lines closed after minor blasts occurred in what the Metropolitan Police described as a "serious incident" on Thursday. BBC News correspondents reported on a day that London came under attack for a second time. [BBC News] I wonder if this was some sort of hasty copycat attack by people who didn't really know how to make bombs? 7:54:13 PM    comment () New at Reason. Would you like to see the John Roberts confirmation hearings cover some substantive ground? Write to your Senator and ask him/her/it to give Roberts the Matt Welch quiz. [Hit and Run] The quiz is so good that there's no chance at all that any of the questions in it will come up in the confirmation hearings. 3:22:02 PM    comment ()
