From Eric Dondero:
Violent scenes from yesterday's protests across London. Black-masked Anarchists smash windows, splash paint on police and emergency vehicles, and grafitti bank buildings, and department stores.

Shades of Madison, Wisconsin?
From Eric Dondero:
An estimated 250,000 to 300,000 Leftists marched on London yesterday, demanding a halt to Prime Minister David Cameron's proposed budget cuts and lay-offs of state workers.
From ibtimes.com "Tens of thousands march in London to protest budget cuts":
The Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition led by Prime Minister David Cameron plans spending cuts of about $131-billion over the next five years, including slashing about 300,000 public sector jobs.
Brendan Barber, the general secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC)...
"We are here to send a message to the government... We will fight the savage cuts and we will not let them destroy peoples' services, jobs and lives."
From AHN:
The largest protest in London since the beginning of the invasion of Iraq in 2003 turned violent Saturday when anarchists attacked what they considered symbols of capitalism, including shops and a luxury hotel.
Hundreds of thousands of mostly peaceful demonstrators converged on Hyde Park to protest major budget cuts that could result in about 300,000 public sector jobs lost by 2015. The protests were organized by the Trade Union Congress.
But while the demonstrators marched, hundreds of anarchists with their faces covered went on the offensive, smashing store windows, clashing with police and taking over the tony department store Fortnum and Mason near Piccadilly Circus.
Others defaced statues with spray paint. Police were attacked with objects including paint containers and light bulbs filled with ammonia. More than 80 people were injured during the riots, including about 31 police officers.
The UK Telegraph reports that the rioting was done by:
“anarchists, squatters, student militants, environmental activists and radical academics.”
The New Normal blog comments:
That’s right, the same sort of riffraff who trashed Madison, WI.
Protesters against "Democracy and Freedom": Shout "Sharia Law will take over the West"

Cut off the Ear of the Christian Apt. building Owner
From Eric Dondero:
Islamists in the central Egyptian town of Qena, went on a rampage last Sunday, burning down an apartment building where two prostitutes lived. They were not at the residence at the time. When the owner tried to save his building, the Muslim protesters turned on him, beating and kicking him. Then they cut off his ear, to "teach [him] a lesson." From AINA "Muslims Attack Christian in Egypt, Cut Off His Ear":
On Sunday, March 20 [Ayman Anwar] Mitri was informed by a friend via a phone call at 4 AM that the flat where the Muslim sisters lived was on fire; he went to the flat. While waiting in the torched flat a Muslim named Alaa el Sunni came and berated him for renting his flat to prostitutes. "I tried to calm him down," said Mr. Mitri, "and told him I knew nothing about the two women since they came through an agent." Alaa suggested they would go somewhere quiet to clear the misunderstanding. They went to the flat of Mr. Mitri's friend Khaled, a policeman, where 12 Muslims were waiting for him. They started beating him and saying "We will teach you a lesson, Christian" and "This serves your right for renting your property to prostitutes."
They claimed they were doing it in accordance with Sharia Law.
AINA has a horrific photo of the the victim with his ear cut off.

NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer took its last image of the sky in February, 2011. But while it was active it surveyed the entire sky several times in the far infrared, so its data archive is a vast treasure trove just waiting to be dug into (hmmm, I should try to squeeze another metaphor into there).
Anyway, lookee what the astronomers found:
Cooool. Literally! That’s dust surrounding the star Alpha Camelopardalis, what appears as a fairly non-descript star in a faint, non-descript constellation. At least, to the eye. When seen in the IR, you get this shocking view. Also literally.
Alpha Cam is a massive, luminous star: 50 times as hefty as our Sun, and blasting out perhaps a million times as much energy. But it’s far away (3000 light years, maybe, the distance is not well-known) and behind a lot of dust, dimming our view. It’s barreling through space at a pretty good clip, and emitting a wind of subatomic particles as it does. This wind expands, slams into the surrounding dust, and sculpting it into this giant bow shock formation.
In this false color ...
Muslim ideology spreading at a "rapid pace"
Excerpt from a speech by Dutch Party of Freedom leader Geert Wilders, March 25, 2011, at the Annual Lecture of the Magna Carta Foundation in Rome, Italy (via American Thinker):
Islam is a totalitarian ideology. Islamic Shariah law supervises every detail of life. Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to our values. Respect for people who think otherwise, the equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, respect for Christians, Jews, unbelievers and apostates, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization.
Europe is islamizing at a rapid pace. Many European cities have large islamic concentrations. In some neighbourhoods, Islamic regulations are already being enforced. Women's rights are being trampled. We are confronted with headscarves and burqa's, polygamy, female genital mutilation, honour-killings. "In each one of our cities" says Oriana Fallaci, "there is a second city, a state within the state, a government within the government. A Muslim city, a city ruled by the Koran." - End of quote.
Ladies and gentlemen, make no mistake: The multiculturalist Left is facilitating islamization. Leftist multiculturalists are cheering for every new shariah bank, for every new islamic school, for every new mosque. Multiculturalists consider Islam as being equal to our own culture. Shariah law or democracy? Islam or freedom? It doesn't really matter to them. But it does matter to us. The entire leftist elite is guilty of practising cultural relativism. Universities, churches, trade unions, the media, politicians. They are all betraying our hard-won liberties.

VCU comes out of nowhere
by Clifford F. Thies
Meanwhile, over in the NCAA Division 1 Men's Basketball Tournament, President Obama's pick for national champion looks to be in the cat bird seat. With the Kentucky Wildcats knocking off the #1 1-seed Ohio State Buckeyes, the Kansas Jayhawks are now the only remaining 1-seed in the tournament. They are "The last 1 standing." But, before they can cut down the net, they're going to have to get past VCU, one of the last four teams to be invited to the dance, and maybe the very last team. Most people don't even know the mascot of this team, or even if they have a mascot. And, many people don't know what the initials "VCU" stand for either. But, catapulted by ESPN commentator Jay Bilas' disrepect, who said it was a "travestry" that VCU was allowed into the tournament, the Billygoats or Leprechauns or Black
Glob or whatever they are, have been on a tear. Lead by somebody, they have knocked off one after another higher-seeded team, and now are one win away from the Final Four. Congra-d-ulations to VCU of the great state of Virginia, or maybe Vermont, for getting this far. You may fulfill the prophesy that the Last shall be First.

Minister Louis Farrahkan of the Nation of Islam who, in 2008, proclaimed Barack H. Obama to be the Messiah, is now calling Obama our country's first Jewish President, along with defending Gaddafi. The United States, he says, is not populated by human beings, our country is filled "with beasts." Dictators aren't a bad thing, "your mothers and fathers," speaking to a black audience, were dictators. God himself rose up Gaddafi in Libya and Assad in Syria. And, dictators send tanks and planes to kill their people, just like parents discipline their children. Democracy, you see, is an invention of white people, also known as beasts. Democracy's "a trick."
We know from history that calling people "Jews" is the prelude to genocide; but, as for this Messiah versus Jew thing, according to the Christians of the world, the Messiah was a Jew.
