Drum roll, madame...

Another addition to my blogroll.  Maureen Mullarkey, who keeps a blog at Studio Matters, and contributes essays to The Federalist.  I'm looking forward to reading more of her essays.  She combines a sure grasp of Islamo-literacy with a judiciously juicy turn of phrase, sharp and cutting where appropriate (i.e., directed at the Useful Idiots among us).

Maureen isn't perfect; she flirts with her own permutation of the Moderate Muslim Which Smells the Same Under Another Name:

...the jihadist we kindly isolate, in misplaced courtesy, as radical or extremist is simply a Muslim who takes his faith seriously. Our so-called moderate Muslims are the lukewarm, the less vigorous in their observance. Jack Muslims. 

This lapse aside, I heartily recommend her to the Counter-Jihad.
