Iran Election Irrelevant

Update for Optimists:

Huge protest in Iran, shots fired

Is this the beginning of the end for the Islamic Republic? Maybe, but if so, there is a long way to go. This was a pro-Mousavi demonstration, and as Kenneth Timmerman points out here (thanks to Pamela), Mousavi was a founder of Hizballah and participated in the creation of Iran’s intelligence service. A demonstration on his behalf may thus represent dissatisfaction with the heavy-handedness of the mullahs, but not necessarily a genuine move away from the basic premises of the Islamic Republic. That is not to say, however, that the Islamic Republic is wildly popular among Iranians, or that there isn’t real support for a return to a more Western-oriented government and society. Obama should today be appealing to those who hold such views — which doesn’t include Mousavi — and pledging his support to them.

The Election that Wasn’t

Iranians yet again trusted the Islamic Republic and believed that “reform from within” was possible and yet again the Islamic Republic has proven that “reform from within” is just a slogan. More>>

 * Sheik yer’mami sez:

 a choice between Ahmadinejad and Musavi? Irrelevant! Who cares?

A choice between one mad mullah or another  genocidal lunatic is not a choice for us. Its like  asking  “do you prefer Ted Bundy over Jack the Ripper…?”

Or who do you prefer: Hitler or Stalin?

Much Ado About Nothing in Iran

By Debbie Schlussel

The most outrageous comment I’ve heard yet about the Iranian elections is one uttered by Michigan’s Communist U.S. Senator Carl Levin on a Detroit radio station, this morning.

Well, more people voted in the Iranian elections than in the U.S. elections. They had a higher turn out in Iran. 80%.

HUH? HUH?! HUH????!!!!

This U.S. Senator is comparing the United States with a totalitarian regime and somehow implying that they are better, more democratic, more committed to free elections. . . because they had a higher percentage of turnout (a forced-by-the-totalitarian-state turnout) -by-at the polls of a fake election run and orchestrated by a theocracy? Absurd. Ludicrous. Ridiculous. More>>

Video: Iranian thugs beat protester to death in broad daylight

Weasel Watch:

There’s no official confirmation that he died but that’s the word on the street. Best-case scenario is that they “merely” beat him into unconsciousness. Rather than give you just the video of the beating, though, I’m embedding a kaleidoscope of 14 clips put together byBreitbart.com to show you how widespread and violent the protests already are. If you can’t spare a few minutes to watch them all, at least watch the first three plus the seventh, where you’ll find the Basij — essentially Iran’s answer to the Nazi SA — riding by on motorcycles with batons and taking swings at anyone wearing green to indicate support for Mousavi. I’ve read multiple tweets from Iranians today claiming that some of these goons have been heard speaking Arabic, not Farsi, suggesting that they’re actually Hezbollah troops shipped in from Lebanon to help with the crackdown. Whether that’s true or just a rationalization by Iranian students who don’t want to believe their own countrymen would side with the regime against the people, I don’t know.

“If you meet mush, then push…”

Obama Administration officials still hope they can talk Khamenei out of developing nuclear weapons and supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. This is delusion on stilts. Khamenei can’t even compromise with his own regime or his hand-picked presidential candidates. He placed them under house arrest, along with a Grand Ayatollah, and deployed thousands of violent enforcers into the streets. Not only does he confront the world, he is at war with his very own country.

Understand the mind of a totalitarian. “Probe with a bayonet,” Vladimir Lenin famously said. “If you meet steel, stop. If you meet mush, then push.” more from rotten Totten>>

UK Compo Jihad: Bosnian Muslim Hack Screws Employer Over Cocktail Dress

Muslim cocktail waitress awarded $4,700 for being made to wear “indecent” dress

  • Cupidity, stupidity and complicity from the  judiciary:

She was  awarded  £2,919.95 for “hurt feelings” and loss of earnings..

But wait, there’s more:

Mail Online

Indecent

But this is how she displays herself on Facebook:

article-1193100-0558581d000005dc-8_233x388                                       My feelings are hurt also…

What was a pious Muslim doing working as a cocktail waitress, anyway? And what did she expect to wear inside a bar — a burqa? Not coincidentally, she dresses more “indecently” than she was asked to in the bar on her Facebook page — indicating that this was all about intimidating the dhimmis, and of course, it worked. Absurd Brittania Alert: “Muslim cocktail waitress gets £3,000 for sexual harassment after bar ordered her to wear ‘indecent’ dress,” from the Daily Mail, June 15 (Jihad Watch):

A Muslim cocktail waitress who quit after refusing to wear a bright red dress for work has won almost £3,000 in compensation for sexual harassment.Fata Lemes, 33, was handed the payout even though a tribunal rejected her claim that the dress was ‘sexually revealing and indecent’.

It concluded the Bosnian Muslim ‘holds views about modesty and decency which some might think unusual in Britain in the 21st century’.

But it accepted that Miss Lemes genuinely believed that the short, low-cut dress was ‘disgusting’ and made her look ‘like a prostitute’.

Yemen: Jihadists Kill 9 Foreigners, Including Kids

9 Abducted Foreigners, Including 3 Children, Found Dead in Yemen

Jihadists murder hostages in Yemen

  • Robert Spencer explains the inevitable ‘nothing to do with Islam’ apologies:

‘Umdat al-Salik, a manual of Islamic jurisprudence certified by Al-Azhar University in Cairo (the most respected authority in Sunni Islam) as conforming “to the practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community,” lays out four options for hostages: “When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph considers the interests … (of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner’s death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy” (o9.14).

“Foreign hostages found dead in Yemen,” from AAP, June 15 

Seven out of nine foreign hostages including a child were found murdered in northern Yemen on Monday, security officials said.“We have found the corpses of seven people who were kidnapped,” a local security official said. “They were killed.”

Two of the three children captured with the group were reportedly found alive.

The bodies were found by the son of a tribal leader in Noshour, east of the volatile Saada mountainous area of northern Yemen where the nine were abducted, the official said.

The authorities had accused Shi’ite Zaidi rebels in Saada of seizing seven Germans, a British engineer and a South Korean woman teacher. The rebels denied the charge.

The nine – among them three German children and two women nurses – belong to an international relief group that has been working at a hospital in Saada province bordering Saudi Arabia for 35 years, a local official said on Sunday….

IT was not an April Fools’ joke. When President Barack Obama met the Queen of the Commonwealth at Buckingham Palace, he gave her an iPod. Last week, I was half expecting the president to show up in the Middle East laden with Kindles.

Ayaan Ali Hirsi: Obama's wrong strategy and false praises

ayaan-hirsi-ali

The courtship articulated in his speech was peppered with false praise (“… it was innovation in Muslim communities that developed … our mastery of pens and printing.”), feigned common principles and made ridiculous promises to fight negative stereotyping of Islam wherever he encounters it.

This is all part of political rhetoric, but it really doesn’t lead to concrete change. This, in my view, is the wrong strategy. Instead of pretending that Muslims invented printing, the President should be confronting them with the key products of the Western printing press. And it’s here that Kindles could be of use.

Nowhere in the world is bigotry so rampant as in Muslim countries. No difference is greater between American and Islamic principles than the founding ideals of both. It is on the basis of the founding ideals of Islam that al-Qa’ida and other Muslim puritans insist on the implementation of sharia law, jihad and the eternal subjection of women. It is on the basis of the founding ideals of America that blacks and women fought for — and gained — equal rights and gays and new immigrants continue to do so.

Yemen: More infidels being kidnapped

So much for Yemen’s three-year old vow that it would halt abductions. “Seven Germans, Briton, Korean kidnapped in Yemen – TV,” from Reuters, June 14, JW:

DUBAI, June 14 (Reuters) – Seven Germans, a Briton and a Korean have been kidnapped in the Saada area of north Yemen, Al Jazeera reported on Sunday. 

The television station gave no more details. Yemen, the Arab world’s poorest country, is struggling with an on-off revolt in the north, a secessionist movement in the south and intensified al Qaeda militancy.

Update from Jawa Report:

Yemen Rebels Jihadists Deny Kidnapping Foreigners

The rebels say it occurred next the headquarters of the Political Security (the secret police) in central Sa’ada. However like every other group in Yemen, when news hits the western media, the rebels were unable to put out a statement in English. Ergo, yet more bad google translation:

Houthi deny that any of the sons of Saada relationship is responsible for the kidnapping of German. Power is the power (the government) bears full responsibility for their fate. The area where it was said that they had kidnapped them (Graz) is next to the Political Security in the heart of the city of Saada. We emphasize that the charge for us is null and false accusation and slander is a matter of political vindictiveness, which is evidence of the bankruptcy (of the regime). More>>

Persecuting and discriminating against Copts is apparently not enough; the Egyptian government is also trying to obliterate the Copts’ very identity: “The Cultural Genocide of Egypt’s Christian Copts,” from AINA, June 14, via JW

* It’s about time to expose a double faced major spreader of global terror ideology and terrorists: Mubarak of Egypt: The ethnic cleansing of Christians in Egypt and in every muslim dominated country is the unmistakable sign of a coming Islamic upheaval in the West. The diabolical double game of deception played by the Islamic world and performed,  according to mohammad’s famous doctrine, “ War is deception,” by the king of Saudi Arabia and Ali Gomaa, the Mufti of Egypt to anesthetize the Western world with peaceful words of interfaith dialogue, while pursuing the “cast in stone” dictum, confirmed twice in the Koran 2:193 and 8:39, “And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and all religion be to Allah (the whole world converted to islam.)

(AINA) — The Egyptian Government, In a new step in long-term and premeditated process of obliterating Coptic identity and history, has decided to change the name of the Coptic village of Deir Abu Hennis, in the Upper Egyptian province of Mallawi, Minya. The village was founded in the 4th century AD on the grounds of the Monastery of St. Hennis the Short, a much revered Coptic Saint. The new name chosen by the Government is “Valley of Peppermint.”

Bill Clinton: "U.S. no longer dominated by Christians and Jews"

Willie Clitman Watch:

Our Judeo-Christian heritage goes under the bus:

* No surprises here. Miranda rights for  terrorists, pandering and groveling to the Arabs, a rejection of reality, a ‘lets make it up as we go along’  revisionist history  has always been in the mental baggage of  this corrupt, incompetent jackass from Arkansas. I never understood why Peanut Carter got labeled as the ‘worst US president ever’- Clinton has done the best he could to outdo him. But now we got ‘Hope’n’Change’- fasten your seat belts….

Some good news:

clitman-pinoccio

WASHINGTON – Former President Bill Clinton has told an Arab-American audience of 1,000 people that the U.S. is no longer just a black-white country, nor a country that is dominated by Christians and a powerful Jewish minority

In a speech to the group on Saturday, Clinton said that given the growing numbers of Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups here,  Americans should be mindful of the nation’s changing demographics, which led to the election of Barack Obama as president.

Clinton said by 2050 the U.S. will no longer have a majority of people with European heritage and that in an interdependent world “this is a very positive thing.”

Speaking in a hotel ballroom to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee during its annual convention, Clinton also praised Obama’s speech in Cairo, Egypt, that was focused on the Arab world.

Geert Wilders in Denmark: Deporting millions of Muslims may be necessary – Interview

in Denmark: Deporting millions of Muslims may be necessary – Interview

Geert Wilders is in Denmark for a conference entitled “Free Speech and Islam”, which is being held today at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen and is sponsored by Trykkefrihedsselskabet (the Free Press Society). For a printable program of the event in pdf format, click here.

Mr. Wilders appeared on Danish television yesterday. After being pressed by the interviewer, he acknowledged that millions of Muslims — those who support jihad and shariah, and oppose the democratic societies that they live in — will have to be deported from Europe.

He says, “There’s only one solution.”

To Hell in a Hand-basket: with "Advisors" like this…

big-spending-negro8America’s Muslim POTUS  Hussein Obama’s Muslim adviser calls “the Turkish Khomeini” an “inspiration”

images98

                                                                Fethullah Gülen

Gülen, who’s  been featured on this website on several occasions, is Turkey’s Ayatollah Khomeini -in the making. The fact that the enjoys asylum in the U.S. is a stark reminder to the willful blindness displayed in the case of the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran, who was given asylum in France, before he brought  us the ‘Islamic Revolution’ with the help of the chronically deluded Peanut Carter….

Many believe that Gülen wants to bring Sharia back to Turkey: “Turkey’s National Security Council condemned in 1998 for ‘trying to undermine the country’s secular institutions, concealing his methods behind a democratic and moderate image.’ For this reason he has been living in voluntary exile in the United States since he was sentenced in absentia.”

Does Dalia Mogahed not know or care about efforts to bring Sharia to Turkey — or does she find such efforts to be an “inspiration”?

“Gülen movement an inspiration for all, says Obama’s Muslim advisor Mogahed,” from Today’s Zaman, June 14 (thanks to JW):

Dalia Mogahed, appointed by US President Barack Obama and the first Muslim woman to be a member of the White House Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, has said the Gülen movement, a faith-based social movement named after Turkish Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen, is a model and inspiration for all those working for the good of the society….“I think the Gülen movement offers people a model of what is possible if a dedicated group of people work together for the good of the society. I also think that it is an inspiration for other people and Muslims for what they can accomplish,” Mogahed said, commending the movement. She noted that “this initiative has a lot to teach to other people and Muslims, but it needs to broaden its membership profile.” She then elaborated on her advice to the movement. “It has moved beyond Turkey in its very benevolent projects and it serves people from all around the world of all backgrounds, but it is still made up mostly of Turks. That is what I feel is in need of expanding,” she said.

When reminded that some speculate the movement has a hidden agenda, Mogahed told Sunday’s Zaman that she usually does not attach any importance to such allegations put forward without evidence. “And I have not seen any evidence so far,” she said….

Yep. Remember: there is no evidence that “BUSH DID 9/11”- or is there…?
