My Guess Was Right

The problem with Fox was a Denial of Service attack.

I wonder if they were targeted for political reasons? Could it possibly have anything to do with this story?

All I know is that hardly anyone saw my column yesterday. And it's still down, for the most part.

Many in the mainstream media are finnaly catching on to the part of the Hadiths that recods Mohammed marrying a siz year old and consummating the relationship when she was nine and he fifty-four.

Every time it popped up on talk shows this week a bunch of frantic revisionist Muslims would call in trying to deny it. The silliest were the ones trying to argue incredibly minor bits of translational semantics to adjust the age of the bride upward and the groom downward in hopes of them meeting at a non-pederast middle.

The fact is that Islamic scholars have accepted the stated ages for centuries and didn't start looking for less pervy numbers until the history started making them look bad in Western eyes.

I doubt the DoS was related. I serious doubt whether enough Islamofascists can operate a calculator, let alone a computer to have any effect
