Saturday Links

As Maryland enjoys a sunny but cold first Saturday in December, here are some recent stories in the news:

From The Telegraph, some migrants are paying up to ₤10,000 to be smuggled into the United Kingdom by yacht, speedboat or small plane.  (This is something that might be appropriate to bring up the next time someone alleges that migrants going to Europe are poor and oppressed.)

From Judicial Watch, five Middle Eastern men have been apprehended in Arizona, while carrying metal cylinders.

In Conservative Review, Daniel Horowitz asks, "How many Tashfeen Maliks have we brought in?"

From the Daily Mail, a sticker found in the San Bernardino terrorists' apartment reveals a link to a mosque in New York.

From Yahoo News, ISIS claims that the San Bernardino terrorists were their followers.

From the Los Angeles Times, the Christmas party attended by Syed Farook began with a trivia game.

From Fox News, ISIS in Libya is training pilots.

From the Chicago Tribune, violence has damped the Christmas spirit in the place where Christmas originated.

From The Times Of India, six are injured by a bomb at a Hindu gathering in Bangla Desh.

From the Express, how Sharia courts in Britain "sanction misogyny and marital abuse".

From Valley News Live, a man accused of rape in North Dakota allegedly said "Allah akbar" during the assault.

From Townhall, a hypothetical question for Hillary Clinton.

From BBC News, the delegates at COP21 agree to the text of a draft deal.

From The P.C. Graveyard, Attorney General Loretta Lynch is challenged by Joe Walsh (no, not the Eagles guitarist).

From The Roanoke Times, the Atlantic Coast Conference's collection of new football coaches.

From WUIS, organist Cameron Carpenter call the instrument "an object of pure mathematics".

From the Independent Journal, Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R) posts her family's very well-armed Christmas card.

And from the eponymous blog of Dr. Rich Swier, ISIS calls for holy war on climate change deniers.  (This is satire, but I wonder if some climate change believers might welcome such a development.)
