Welcome, readers! Do you read Rolling Stone? I want your opinion about the Rolling Stone’s September issue. What do you think of the cover that features a woman sandwiched between two men? All three are very naked and very bloody. They appear to be covered in someone else’s blood.

If Michelle Malkin a racist xenophobe, then I suppose I am as well. After all, Malkin has repeatedly condemned genital mutilation and the murder of Muslim women under “honor killings.” Guess what? I agree with her completely.
The majority of honor killings are committed by Muslims whose culture is deeply rooted in Sharia. …
