1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

This is the same conference which had a venue cancellation rebuff by The Aqsa School, an Islamic school in Bridgeview, Illinois. Not sure what the reason for that was but one theory advanced was that The Aqsa School considers Hizb ut Tahrir too radical - at least in terms of their image.
The Aqsa School rebuffs; the Hilton Hotel chain accepts.
Also, here's an extensive study on Hizb ut Tahrir (pdf).

American dhimmitude in the age of Obama is astounding.
Just three months ago, in April, two hotels canceled reservations at the last minute. The Florida Marriott hotels that was to have hosted the Florida Security Council's conference, and a Loews hotel in Nashville for a program that would have featured Geert Wilders speaking by a video link. The hotels said they were concerned about the safety of the public and their employees. So rumors or veiled threats from adherents of the Religion of Peace can stifle free speech.
Now this.
The message is clear: Those who oppose the Jihad in America must sit down and shut up. Jihadis are welcome, but the jihadis themselves are welcome.
Telling, as yet another compare-and-contrast, and evidential as another aspect of Maistrovoy's thesis and concern. And no, Charles Johnson types and others, not to make overmuch of a single compare-and-contrast in some excited or reactionary sense, but assessed in a more measured sense it in fact provides another tell-tale indicator and provides further illumination nonetheless.
Telling, and surprising not in the least.
