Upon searching for "undercover mosque" on google, my cross-post at IBA shows up as one of the first 10 links (out of over 90,000)!
I'm quite shocked at this. I would have bet that, at the very least, material on (the infamous!) Little Green Footballs and Michelle Malkin would have got higher rank than my post on this subject matter.
Anyway, among the top ten, we have this press release from the Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC).
The usual litany of accusations from being against gay rights and women’s rights, as well as accusations regarding support for jihad, Osamah bin Laden, the Taliban and Muslim world domination are ranged at various people within the film. This ‘standard’ is used exclusively for Muslims and exemplifies the problems of inherent Islamophobia and racism within the mainstream media.
Let's get something straight: Islam is not a race. Repeating the "racism" charge for the millionth time won't assign some magical racial or ethnic value to Islam. It's ultimately about the vile nature of Islam -- the cult, the ideology, the religion. Calling the critics "islamophobic" or "racists" won't change the ugly reality that Muslims (of numerous backgrounds) in the West are aiming to end Western Civilization.
Do note, the IHRC doesn't state that what the preachers uttered was morally wrong or factually incorrect. They're complaining that the MSM is being unfair by showing their odious views to the broader kafir public.
It's amazing: in addition to the explicit Undercover Mosque, the reaction to the programme by Muslim organizations is also very revealing.

OT, but I'm relieved to discover I'm not crazy after all. Please see JihadWatch for a brief account of Glenn Beck demolishing the idiotic premise of the heretofore apparently sane Dinesh D'Souza as postulated in his new book "The Enemy at Home", namely that the Left is at fault for 9/11 because they made all those nice moderate Muslims mad with their "decadence". The Left is at fault for plenty, but as Beck points out to D'Souza -- or tries to -- Qutb was flogging this same "decadence" line 60 years ago and it is b.s now as it was then. The source of the Islamist hatred for the West is internal.
I agreed with you in the first place.
I never buy that decadence argument anyway.
Decadence is the exhaust of a free culture. It is the exhaust of innovation.

Sometimes search engines really do come up with unexpected results. Sometimes you may actually have posted something before any of the major blogs. I once happened to check Yahoo News, and saw an interesting article that was posted about 10 minutes before, and decided to post something about it right then. Neither LGF nor Malkin had it until much later the next day-- my post was on the first page of Google results for a while, although it was later knocked way down in the rankings-- it was just by chance that I happened to see a news story before most other people (I believe this happens a lot more often if you are reading the news and blogging about it at, say, 4 AM in the morning, EST...) lol.
The other thing I've noticed-- sometimes you may just have used a particular combination of words that a person typed into the search box...in many cases its actually not the story they were searching for, but people do type in all sorts of weird combinations of words. Recently, someone searched for this phrase: "how dose the author refer to the muslims who were killed by the frankish army?"
Well, I don't even know anything about dose Franks -- I vaguely remember I read something about them in some history course once, but I don't remember anything about them.
But-- check this out-- my blog is number 1 in the search...just because I happened to use particular combinations of words-- here's the search
Also, its shows the importance of the way someone types in words in a search--- if you type it in correctly, using "does" instead of "dose"-- see how it alters the results... "does" yields 11,400 results, instead of 250 results using "dose".

That was quite informative.
It's weird to get such a high ranking compared to other big guns but I don't mind.
