- The findings of
this inquiry have now been published and amazingly the Labour party
has found itself innocent.
- In British
left-wing politics, you cannot even clear yourself of accusations of
anti-Semitism without having an outbreak of it right there and then.

press conference with left-wing campaigner Shami Chakrabarti (right), to
present the findings of an inquiry into the Labour party's anti-Semitism,
June 30, 2016.
Readers who have followed the UK Labour party's recent travails will
be surprised to hear the results of the party's latest inquiry into its own
behaviour. After a slew of anti-Semitic comments emanated from a Member of
Parliament, a number of councillors and a member of the party's executive
committee, party leader Jeremy Corbyn finally ordered an inquiry into
anti-Semitism in the party. The findings of this inquiry have now been
published and amazingly the Labour party has found itself innocent. But
even that has not gone down without incident.

- It seems that
either al-Qaeda, with or without the Islamic State, has been linking
up with Bangladesh's indigenous radical networks.
- If the Hasina
government cannot restore a sense of normalcy, the booming Bangladeshi
economy is likely to stagnate, Western corporate investment may dry
up, and liberal technocrats probably will seek security elsewhere. If
this happens, Bangladesh's minorities will feel even further isolated.
- "They
believe that we are all going to hell, and no matter how they treat
us, that they will all go to heaven." — Former Catholic
seminarian.
Bangladeshi soldiers toss a grenade into a restaurant in
Dhaka, in which Islamic terrorists murdered 20 hostages, July 1, 2016.
Friday's Islamic terrorist attack in the swankiest section of the
Bangladesh's capital of Dhaka, in which 20 people were murdered, had been
expected by the country's law enforcement services. When this attack took
place, the government had been in the midst of a nationwide crackdown on
known terrorist sympathizers. The police had made hundreds -- some reports
claim thousands -- of arrests. They had also seized explosives, firearms,
machetes and jihadi tracts. Most of the arrests consisted of members of
indigenous, outlawed jihadist groups such as the Jamaatul Mujahedeen
Bangladesh, Hizb ut-Tahrir, Harakat-ul Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B),
and Ansarullah Team.
