Got loads of emails over the past few days, all of which are pretty important. So here’s a quick roundup of them.

Jane at Armies of Liberation needs help in trying to save the life of a Yemeni reporter sentenced to death for insulting the president. Click, edit and sign, please. As a Canadian constantly complaining about the lack of freedom of speech here, I realize how spoiled I really am. At least they won’t kill me for my words.

And speaking of Muslims stifling speech, Howard Rotberg has a fatwa on his latest book, because Islamists don’t like it. Probably because it has all kinds of words in it.

Well, what I see is that, in a country like Canada, without a strong national ethos, “multiculturalism and “tolerance” seem to have become predominant aspects of identity and culture, especially amongst left-liberals who are influential in our universities, our media, and other elites. I see myself as a casualty of the assault on freedoms which Islamists can so easily effect in this cultural milieu.

My favorite Angel, Holly Aho, is going on a mission in Peru. Holly introduced me to the Soldier’s Angels program a few years ago, and it has changed the way I view the world in so many ways. Holly is a deeply spiritual person, and when I read of this, I was touched. She has a huge family (like, a zillion kids or so), and yet she wants to help others less fortunate by giving of her time and her faith. If you can help, please do so. (indicate that your donation is for “missions”)

The hats, the hats, the Infidel hats!! Yes, you’re all clamoring for one of your own, aren’t you? They were made by a Toronto printer, as a gift for Kathy, Steyn and myself. I believe that at Kathy’s request, he’s now costing them out for you. Patience is a virtue.

Another reminder that LTC Kevin Upson is running the Marine Marathon in October on behalf of the USO. Donations can be made here. We’ve almost reached our goal!
