It’s Too Cold To Protest Global Warming At Yale .................................................................................. dailycaller.com ^ \| 2/13/2015 \| Michael Bastasch Yale anti-fossil fuel campaigners have indefinitely postponed a protest that was set for this weekend due to “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues.” Fossil Free Yale, a group pushing the university to divest itself from fossil fuels, told the Yale Daily News that frigid, snowy weather set for this weekend will mean their global warming protest will have to be postponed. FFY’s Mitch Barrow said that “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues, including some cancellations from speakers and performance groups” would mean they would not be able to rally on Global Divestment Day — a day where environmental groups urge institutions like Yale to divest from fossil fuels, like coal, natural gas and oil. As this reporter writes this article, the weather in New Haven, Connecticut where Yale is located stands at -9 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill. Saturday is expected to have weather in the low 30s with snow and Sunday will be 20 degrees with snow and rain, according to the Weather Channel.

Inode is right ... Obama has made profoundly ignorant statements about history and geography. In addition, Obama got to be an adult but doesn't understand the difference between liability vs collision and comprehensive auto insurance: ihatethemedia.com

Obama has said that 99.9% of Muslims are moderates. Another dumb statement: President Obama might want to brush up on his facts before hosting next week’s critical summit on “violent extremism.” By claiming “99.9% of Muslims” are moderate and reject the radical tenets practiced by the Islamic State, he grossly underestimates the threat, including in America. “The overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam,” he recently told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria. “It’s very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9% of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we’re looking for — order, peace, prosperity.” While his remarks echo his earlier State of the Union speech, in which he said “the vast majority” of Muslims share Western values, this was the first time he has quantified the “extremist” threat. In his mind, only 0.1% of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims hold radical beliefs. But taking into account scientific measurements of attitudes in the Muslim world, his estimate is foolishly low. For example, several recent Pew Research Center polls of Muslims in Muslim countries — as well as in America — show strong support for many of the extremist notions that Obama assumes they shun. An alarming 26% of American Muslims ages 18 to 29 believe suicide bombings vs. non-Muslims “can be justified.” That means our Muslim youth are just as radicalized as their counterparts in France, Germany and Britain. “The higher levels of support for suicide bombing seen among young American Muslims resembles patterns found among Muslims in Europe,” Pew said. The respected polling agency also found in a separate 2013 poll that vast majorities of Muslims abroad “clearly support” barbaric forms of Islamic punishment, including: stoning women accused of cheating on their husbands, chopping off the hands of thieves and robbers, publicly whipping people who “insult” Islam, and beheading those who convert to another religion. “Taking the life of those who abandon Islam is most widely supported in Egypt (86%) and Jordan (82%)” — two Muslim nations viewed as fairly moderate — Pew found in its 2013 survey. Foreign Muslims favor making the harsh Islamic legal code known as Shariah — the same one implemented by the Islamic State — the “law of the land” for Muslims and non-Muslims. Only, they prefer appointing “religious judges” to enforce it. Overwhelmingly, they condemn homosexuality while supporting polygamy. Large pluralities even favor “honor killing” daughters who engage in premarital sex. Most troubling: Solid majorities in Egypt, Lebanon and several other Muslim nations agree that carrying out suicide bombings against non-Muslims “can be justified,” according to another Pew survey of Muslim attitudes on terrorism conducted last spring. The beliefs of Muslims in America aren’t exactly enlightened in comparison. Though Pew’s seminal 2007 poll of 1,050 U.S. Muslims did not ask about Shariah law, it found that even in America, a large majority of Muslims — 69% — believe women should be separated from or subordinated to men. What’s more, a majority of devout Muslims here don’t think Muslims should adopt “American customs.” They think the Muslim community should remain distinct from American society, and they frown on other Muslim immigrants assimilating into American life. “Obama Thinks 99.9% Of Muslims Moderate?
