‘Nuclear Watchdog’ Mohammed ElBaradei ElBabbleday goes apes#*t over likely attack on Iran

Guardian News & Media
THE UN’s chief nuclear weapons inspector has warned against the use of force against Iran, in what he said was an attempt to halt an “out of control” drift to war.

Mohamed ElBaradei’s outspoken remarks on Monday, which drew a parallel between Iran and Iraq, appeared to be aimed at the US and Britain. They followed comments on Sunday by the French Foreign Minister, Bernard Kouchner, who said, “we have to prepare for the worst”, adding “the worst is war”.

* Really? Don’t you think being blackmailed and nuked by Iran’s mad mullah’s is worse than war?

* Even Andrew Bolt is onto him:

*I suspect ElBaradei has an ideological agenda incompatible with his duties at the IAEA*

* You bet he does….

Update: You bet he  does have an agenda. He proves it to you right here: 

IAEA Springs Into Action, Elects Syria Co-Chairman

The United Nations descends even further into the depths of absurdity, as the UN’s toothless nuclear watchdog elects Syria as co-chairman of the IAEA.

Two weeks after Israel’s alleged bombing raid in Syria, which some foreign reports said targeted North Korean nuclear material, the UN’s nuclear watchdog elected Syria as deputy chairman of its General Conference on Monday.

The 51st session of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) opened in Vienna on Monday and will run through Friday.

The Syrian news agency SANA proudly reported the election on Tuesday, adding that Syria was also successful in including “the Israeli nuclear arsenal as an item on the agenda of the conference.”

The agenda for the meeting includes the item “Israeli nuclear capabilities and threat.” While Iran will be a focus of the discussions, there is no item on the agenda referring to the Islamic Republic by name.

Only in Holland: Court Tells Jihad Ape To Do It Right Next Time, Because His plans Were “Clumsy and Primitive”-

His plans were “clumsy and primitive,” so let’s let him walk the streets until he learns how to do it right. “Samir A. convicted again for terrorism,” from Expatica

THE HAGUE (AFP) – A Dutch Muslim radical was sentenced to four years in jail by an Amsterdam appeals court on Monday for planning a terrorist attack in 2004.
Samir Azzouz had already been acquitted on the same charges twice by a lower court and an appeals court which said his plans were “so clumsy and primitive” that they were not a threat.

* Sure. Why Not?

* After all, Islam discovered America long before Columbus, (was not Columbus himself a Muslim?) Just like Islam discovered Australia hundreds of years before James Cook crashed through the Great Barrier Reef only to discover that the interior was full of mosques.

* Science, algebra, aeronautics, medicine, the arts: Is there anything, anything at all today that we don’t owe to Arab Muslims, who were soooo far ahead of us when we were still in the dark ages frolicking naked in the woods…. ? And were not Moses, Abraham, Noah, Solomon, even Jesus followers of Muhammad even though they lived centuries, milleniums, before the ‘prophet’ of Islam dreamed up his ‘revelations’???

Be that as it may:

* Winds of Jihad reader Eddie Rollnick just happened by chance upon the Wikipedia entry for the 10 commandments, and you will find the the soldiers of Allah have been there and done it, just like they always do. Take a look, (don’t laugh!) and you will find that Islam has it all, just like any other religion, nothing to worry about, its all good…

Here’s the link: Islam & the 10 Commandments: Muslim Understanding

In Islam Moses/Musa is venerated as one of the greatest prophets of God. However, Islam also teaches that the texts of the Torah and the Gospels have been corrupted from their divine originals over the years, due to carelessness or self-interest. Despite this purported corruption, messages from the Torah and the Gospels still coincide closely with certain verses in the Qur’an. This is by-and-large the case with the Ten Commandments. Consequently, despite the Ten Commandments not being explicitly mentioned in the Qur’an they are substantially similar to the following verses in the Qur’an (using Jewish numbering of the Commandments):

* You see, the Ten Commandments  are not ‘explicitly mentioned’ in the Qur’an, but lets invent them anyhow, or find something similar. And the Golden Rule? Sure! Islam invented the Golden Rule, don’t you know?

1. “There is no other god beside God.”(47:19)
2. “My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and protect me and my children from worshiping idols.” (14:35)
3. “Do not subject God’s name to your casual swearing, that you may appear righteous, pious, or to attain credibility among the people.” (2:224)
4. “O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah) is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of GOD, and drop all business.” (62:9)
   The Sabbath was relinquished with the revelation of the Quran. Muslims are told in the Quran that the Sabbath was only decreed for the Jews. (16:124) God, however, ordered Muslims to make every effort and drop all businesses to attend the congregational (Friday) prayer. The Submitters may tend to their business during the rest of the day.
5. “….and your parents shall be honoured. As long as one or both of them live, you shall never (even) say to them, “Uff” (the slightest gesture of annoyance), nor shall you shout at them; you shall treat them amicably.” (17:23)  Next is GWB’s favorite: Mind you, he only quotes the first line, like Muslims do when they try to pull the wool over infidel eyes and ears, but we give you the full monty:
6. “For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our messengers came to them with clear arguments, but even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land.(5.32) The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter.”(5.33)
7. “ “You may have whomever you desire; there is no blame.” ” (33:51) Strange ‘commandment,’- that…
8. “As to the thief, male or female, cut off his or her hands: a punishment by way of example, from Allah, for their crime: and Allah is Exalted in Power. Full of Wisdom.”(5:38) Barbaric Punishment is a commandment? No wonder the Jews were laughing at Muhammad…
   
9. “Do not withhold any testimony by concealing what you had witnessed. Anyone who withholds a testimony is sinful at heart.” (2:283)
10. “And do not covet what we bestowed upon any other people. Such are temporary ornaments of this life, whereby we put them to the test. What your Lord provides for you is far better, and everlasting.” (20:131)

There you have it: Go to Wiki and scroll down.

Don’t laugh, its serious. There is no fun in Islam, remember….

And let us know what you think…

Very Islamic, what say you..?

Swedish media rallies around threatened cartoonist

* Euro anti-dhimmitude, and a courageous showing from Lars Vilks. An update on this story. From AFP via DW

STOCKHOLM — The Swedish media rallied Sunday behind a cartoonist whose depiction of the Islamic prophet as a dog earned him death threats from Al Qaeda in Iraq, as Swedish companies braced for a backlash.

Cartoonist Lars Vilks said he was ready to die after extremists in Iraq offered $150,000 to anyone who slit his throat, or $100,000 for his murder by other means.

“We must not give in,” he was quoted as saying in the Dagens Nyheter daily that republished the cartoon in small format Sunday.

“I’m starting to grow old. I could die at any time – it’s not a catastrophe,” he said.

The group calling itself the Islamic State of Iraq, otherwise known as Al Qaeda in Iraq, also put $50,000 on the head of Ulf Johansson, editor in chief of the Nerikes Allehanda newspaper that published the caricature.

Swedish media condemned the threats, issued through the Internet Saturday in the form of a statement in the name of the group’s purported leader, Sheikh Abu Omar Al Baghdadi.

“We live in a country where freedom of expression is not dictated by fundamentalists, nor by governments,” wrote Dagens Nyheter chief editor Thorbjorn Larsson in an editorial.

* Right. Freedom is not free. We’re all good enjoying the freedom our ancestors fought for. But how good are we defending it? Now where is the rest of the Euro-dhimmi’s and the MSM?

Dennis Prager:  How the Left perverted journalism, education and the courts

Whether one is on the left or right, it cannot be denied that the left has had an enormous impact on the major institutions of American society — specifically journalism, education and the judiciary.

In every poll I have seen, liberals overwhelm conservatives in academia, including the teachers’ colleges, which are quite far left, and in journalism. And few deny the leftward tilt of the Supreme Court for most of the last 40 years.

The question, then, is not whether the left has had such an impact, but why.

I learned a major part of the answer years ago in Idaho where I was the moderator of a panel of judges — including a past California Supreme Court justice — and lawyers connected to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. I asked the panel members to give their view of the role of judges. The response of the liberal former California Supreme Court justice opened my eyes to the left’s view of virtually everything in society.

He said that the purpose of a California Supreme Court justice, and for that matter, every judge, is to fight economic inequality and racism in society.

I responded that I thought the one purpose of a judge was to render justice in the courtroom.

I might as well have responded in biblical Hebrew (that’s where I got the idea of a judge’s role anyway): He and the other liberals on the panel reacted as if I had offered a new and original notion of judges’ roles.

Muslim terrorist defence lawyers

She specialises in the defence of Muslims accused of terror-related crimes. Among her most notorious clients are Abu Hamza al-Masri, the cleric convicted of incitement to murder. Dhiren Barot, sentenced to life for conspiracy to commit large-scale murder scale in the US and Britain. Three of the failed suicide bombers of 21 September 2005, plus Farid Hilali, a terror suspect wanted in Spain who, in a recorded telephone conversation shortly before September 11th 2001, told someone with links to one of the 9/11 hijackers: “We have entered the area of aviation’ and ‘have slit the bird’s throat.”

Last year the Law firm which Miss Arani formed made over £1 million in legal aid fees alone (not bad for a 1 woman operation) defending the likes of those above terrorists, terrorists which I should add should be accorded ‘Prisoner of War’ status according to Miss Muddassar Arani
.
However it appears that Miss Arani may be soon be in court again not as the defending lawyer but as the defendant. It seems that she has taken her loyalty to the cause just a step too far in that;
a) She has been caught trying to bribe one of the terrorists convicted of the failed London bombing in 2005 to silence when he crossed sides and gave evidence against his fellow jihadists
b) Get the same terrorist to drop his solicitor and get her to represent him so that she could keep closer tabs on him.
Surprised? Not really this is the woman who is on record of quoting the following to the British Media.

“There is clearly a war that is taking place against Islam. That is why our people have to wake up and realise that one day it will be them and not others that this is happening to. Once we learn to forget our differences and speak with one voice and realise that we all are viewed as Muslims, we will be able to win this war that is taking place against us Muslims. We have to wake up to the fact that this is only the beginning of the war.”

I wonder if Miss Arani will be afforded POW status when she gets sent down. Or will she be afforded bitch status by her cell mate who will ensure she gets sent down.

U.N. rights chief sees bigotry in Europe on Islam

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour said on Monday that bigotry and prejudice, especially in regard to Muslims, were common in Europe and called on governments to tackle the issue.

The remarks from the former Canadian Supreme Court judge, which came in the wake of similar charges issued last week by a U.N. rights investigator, were quickly challenged by a leading global non-religious grouping.

The report by investigator Doudou Diene of Senegal documented what he called an alarming rise in intolerance, and in particular Islamophobia, in European countries, and Arbour said, “I have no reason not to share his concerns.”

Europeans “are shocked at times when it is pointed out that bigotry, prejudice and stereotyping is still sometimes very present in their attitude to others,” she said.

Diene’s work, she declared, highlighted “a challenge for Western countries that needs to be addressed.”

Roy Brown, past president of the International Humanist and Ethical Union (IHEU) which groups non-religious organizations around the globe said Arbour was “just plain wrong.”

“The little regrettable hostility that does exist among indigenous Europeans has not arisen in a vacuum, but as a reaction to Islamic extremism — demonization of Jews, infidels and homosexuals and contempt for Western culture,” said Brown, the IHEU’s representative at the U.N.’s Human Rights Council.

* How about taking Doudou with you, Luise? You might enjoy sharing a cell in Gitmo. And please don’t leave Koffi behind, take him along also…

Diene’s report said Islamophobia and equating Islam with terrorism created a climate favoring racial and religious hate.

But it also criticized Islamic states for their treatment of non-Muslim minorities and for refusing to recognize the right of people born into Islam to change their religion.

Diene pointed to the recent appearance of a cartoon in a provincial Swedish newspaper that governments of Islamic countries say offended their religion as an example of abuse of the right of free speech to sow suspicion of Muslims.

He also hit out at Switzerland over perceived anti-immigrant campaigning by the right-wing Swiss People’s Party (SVP/UDC).

European countries in the Council responded in low-key to his “Islamophobia” charges.

* Revolting how our world is being perverted by these unelected, corrupt advocates for the caliphate.

Rant of the day:

Envy, a sense of entitlement, envy, a conviction that every good thing in life is theirs by right, envy, that poverty and inequality should be inversely proportionate to degree of submission to Allah, envy, that repayment in kind–however disproportionate in degree–is the remedy to perceived injustices, envy, rancor, and hate–is there anything else essential to this message that I didn’t catch on to?

Posted by: John C at September 17, 2007 10:30 AM

I don’t think so; you covered it all. Such a typical rant from these primordial savages; one minute they are pathetic, helpless victims of Western hegemony, then they morph into intrepid holy warriors on a mission for allah. If allah is so great, why does he need these hyperbolic cowards to cajole their brainwashed minions into doing his bidding? These pathetic bastards are blinded by envy and determined to reduce the civilized world to a sewer like the one they inhabit. What islam prevents or prohibits them from achieving and possessing cannot be enjoyed by the infidels. Simple as that.

Fitzgerald: Arbour Day In The Committee Room, Or, Every Little Breeze Seems To Whisper Louise 

GENEVA (Reuters) – United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour said on Monday that bigotry and prejudice, especially in regard to Muslims, were common in Europe and called on governments to tackle the issue. — from this news item

The assumptions, the skewed knowledge, the mental set, the entire world view, of Louise Arbour, of all the louise-arbours of this world, need to be anatomized, spread out on a table, or possibly held up for close inspection. How did she arrive at her views, and at her position? What is it that went into her formation? Did she study history? Has she studied Islam? Has she bethought herself, and wondered if, just possibly, she had a duty to study Islam, and a duty to study the history of Islamic conquest and subjugation of non-Muslims — Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, Buddhists, and others — in time and space? Or should she remain content with the bland assumptions of Bush and Blair, that because the word one commonly uses for Islam is “religion,” then therefore, Islam is entitled to automatic respect, without more thought, because “religion” is a good thing?

 Mosque: Incubator and HQ for Islamic Terror

Mosques are not simply ‘places of worship’- they are indoctrination and propaganda -centers for hatred and conspiracy theories,  bastions of plotting and convenient weapon storage as we have seen in Iraq (and in London and many other places.)

The minarets are great spots for snipers, Turkey’s PM Erdogan calls them ‘rocket launchers’- and foolish Western governments are still not taking any action to monitor the hate-speeches and the  incitement from the middle eastern mullah’s, muftis and imams  who have somehow, (how exactly?) infiltrated the Dar-al- harb, and now sit deeply entrenched behind enemy lines, from which they bite their time for the jihad, which must come, inevitably, either by out- breeding (demographics) or by unrestrained immigration from Islamic countries, because all the world belongs to Allah, and no infidel government has a right to rule over the soldiers of Allah with man-made laws…

Police keep eye on mosque 

A  number of high-profile cases involving terrorist plots have raised suspicions that a Copenhagen mosque served as a recruitment centre for radical Islamists

Last week’s arrest of eight men suspected of planning a terrorist action have brought renewed attention to a mosque located on Heimdalsgade in Copenhagen’s northwest neighbourhood.

Initial reports found that two brothers with Pakistani background suspected in the case attended the mosque, bolstering claims the centre serves as a recruitment facility for radical Islamists.

Several of the suspects involved in the first case initiated under Denmark’s new anti-terror laws, the Glostrup case, were known to attend the mosque. The radical Muslim, Said Mansour, who was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in April was also known to act as a mentor for many young Muslims attending the mosque.

According to Lene Kühle, a religion scholar at Aarhus University, the mosque is known for being inaccessible to the media and where women are denied entry. In contrast to other mosques, it attracts younger Muslims – especially Danish converts – and is one of the only ones who have allowed the radical organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir influence.

‘That’s why it’s not such a coincidence that it has been mentioned so many times in connection with suspicions about terror,’ she told daily newspaper Berlingske Tidende.

According to a source close to the suspects arrested last week, the two Pakistani brothers had contact with Abu Ahmed, a radical cleric who once taught at the mosque.

The mosque has gone to efforts to disassociate itself from the cases involving suspected terrorist plots, however. After arrests were made in the Glostrup case in November
2005, the mosque opened its doors to journalists.

A leading figure in Copenhagen’s Muslim community, Khalid Al-subeihi, also denied that that the mosque has a link to radical groups.

‘I think it was a coincidence that the mosque is connected to the terror cases,’ Al-subeihi told Berlingske Tidende newspaper. ‘There aren’t any activities for young people at the mosque. It’s more the older generation that goes there.’

* Another bold faced lie from the imam Al-Subeihi: Young people go that mosque in large numbers, for indoctrination as we can see here:

* Glenn Beck is onto it, but will it prevent the attack?

Dearbornistan government at work: Covering up for the AK-47 jihadi suspect

From Michelle Malkin

“My American Jihad”- a Leb-Hezbollah Medical Student on the Jihad Warpath

They don’t call it Dearbornistan for nothing.

On Tuesday, a nation honored those whose lives were lost during the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. But four days prior to the anniversary of the deadly terrorist attacks, a Wayne State medical student had city officials hoping that the event would not be marred by more bloodshed.

Houssein Zorkot, 26, was arrested Sept. 8 after he was observed wielding an AK-47 semi-automatic assault rifle in Hemlock Park, a popular destination for many Dearborn residents.

Zorkot, who is of Lebanese descent, was arraigned Tuesday in 19th District Court — the same day city officials sent out a press release about an event that had happened four days prior, and one day after the Press & Guide had contacted city officials seeking comment.

According to Dearborn Mayor “Jack” O“Reilly, Jr., the release of information about the case was delayed until after Zarkot’s arraignment and late in the day that marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. City officials feared that announcing the arrest of an armed Arabic man so close to anniversary of the attack would stir anti-Muslim sentiments and fan the flames of terrorism.

”We didn’t want this to become more than it is,“ O’Reilly said. ”There are certain things that the media latches onto, and this would have turned into a story about terrorism. That’s not the kind of tone we want to set.”

Charles Johnson calls it “really bad craziness.” Yep.

Quote of the day:

This quote, attributed to Alexander Tytler in 1787 (but maybe just an internet creation), explains why Americans should not mock Europeans. The only difference between US and the EU is that Europe is ten years ahead of us. 

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

The Islamic presence makes a soft landing less likely.

Palestinian Authority celebrates 9-11 terror attacks

True Islam: Keep looking, you came to the right place!

Ever since the relationships between the Occident and the Orient have been soured by 9/11, Muslims and islamapologists occasionally mention “True Islam”. And “True Islam”, ladies and gentlemen, well, it certainly must be something fantastic and awe-inspiring. People go all misty-eyed and gooey just talking about it. How sad it is, they say, that we, dumb frightened westerners, fail to appreciate the beauty of True Islam. No way those terrorist attacks have anything to do with True Islam.

Quite the contrary: True Islam shows all of us the way to paradise on earth. True Islam is a beacon of love, tolerance and respect! True Islam will provide the final solution to end world hunger. True Islam will prove to be an effective medicine against cancer, AIDS, angst and nasal infections, yes, True Islam will make men want to fall into each others arms, and weep tears of joy. We could talk about it for hours on end! Oh, how we wish to make it clear to you what heavenly bliss you’re missing out on, only because you seem eager to make such a childish fuss about a few accidental bombings.

The EU Wants to Increase Muslim Immigration and Internet Censorship

A few months ago, the EU’s Justice and Security Commissioner Franco Frattini worried about what to do with illegal immigration. To no-one’s surprise, he appears to have settled for surrendering and making it legal. The skilled glossocrat Frattini has already banned the use of the phrase Islamic terrorism: “You cannot use the term ‘Islamic terrorism,'” he insisted. “People who commit suicide attacks or criminal activities on behalf of religion, Islamic religion or other religion, they abuse the name of this religion.” He now thinks we shouldn’t use the word “immigration,” either, we should talk about “mobility.” Moreover, the “Asian” and “African” immigrants in this case generally come from the predominantly Muslim countries of North Africa and the Middle East, with some additional ones from Pakistan and similar nations. The EU has thus decided to flood Europe with tens of millions of Muslims, at the same time as peaceful Europeans demonstrating against the Islamization of Europe were brutally harassed by the police in the EU capital of Brussels.

* A nasty piece of work, this Franco Frattini. Read more..

* Fitzgerald has an idea that will work much better for US:

Those who supply the local defenders of the faith, who conduct those ever-expanding campaigns of Da’wa and outright propaganda for Islam, will be removed from our societies, and since it is impossible to detect the genuine and permanent “moderate” from the other kind, and since Islam “itself is not moderate,” we would be fools — as a truth-telling Iraqi Muslimin this country said himself (presumablyMuslim-for-identification-purposes-only Muslim)-– not to expel any of those who identify themselves as believing in 9.29, and 5.51, and all the rest of the Qur’anic passages, and also the hadith, that taken together, and understood as Muslims for 1350 years have understood them, declare a state of permanent war between Believers and Infidels.

We would be complete fools not to undertake, merely because we are all now Acolytes of the Church of Latter-Day Total Tolerance Even For Those Who Wish Us Ill, these minimal acts of self-defense and civilizational survival.

Cartoon Rage Continues

Ericsson, Ikea & Volvo threatened:

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – A Swedish artist threatened with death over his drawing of Islam’s Prophet Mohammad has been told by police he is no longer safe living at home.

Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, leader of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, offered up to $150,000 on Saturday for the murder of artist Lars Vilks for drawing the head of the Prophet on the body of a dog.

“I can’t live here,” Vilks told Reuters by phone. “SAPO (Sweden’s security service) have judged that it (the threat) is very serious.”

He was allowed to go home and collect some things but it may be a long time before he is able to return again, he said.

“We have had contact with him (Vilks) and together with him are taking the decisions that are necessary,” a police spokesman said.

In an audiotape posted on the Internet, Baghdadi offered a lower bounty for the death of the editor of daily Nerikes Allehanda, which published the drawing last month in what it called a defense of free speech.

Top Swedish firms such as truck maker Volvo, mobile network builder Ericsson and retailer Ikea were also threatened unless an apology was forthcoming for the drawing.

The threats against Vilks and the newspaper mirror a crisis in Denmark last year.

Cartoons published in a Danish paper and reprinted around the world sparked riots in the Middle East, Asia and Africa in which at least 50 people died, and attacks against Danish embassies and a boycott of Danish goods.

Well, Reuters, to be accurate, those 50+ people didn’t just die, they were killed. By people outraged over drawings but apparently not so outraged at murder. Just saying “people died” when

witnesses said Christians were poured with petrol and burnt

is willfully covering for the monsters.

And it wasn’t merely 50+, it was closer to 150.

And it wasn’t just Danish embassies. Any western country, it would seem, would do. An Italian embassy and a British embassey were attacked.

But besides messing up on all the facts, you were on the right track.

* Once again: The AQ-boyz are good Muslims, they follow the Koran and the sunnah, wherein it is written:

Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies…” (Qur’an 8:60)

Called “reasons and motives for the attacks on New York and Washington,” the video features a montage of images of the burning World Trade Centre towers and scenes from Islamist training camps.

“We must take Islamist terrorism to Western countries so that it becomes a normal part of life like natural disasters,” a voiceover says.

“In that way, we will have acts of mass extermination in which people will feel that their affluence also brings death… and we will have created a balance of deterrence between us and them,” the unidentified voice adds.

* In other words: Islam can only survive if people remain stupid and poor and in he grip of the Mullah’s and imams…

The new video also includes clips from old voice recordings of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as a short video clip of Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid, also known as Sheikh Said, the group’s commander in Afghanistan.

Al-Qaeda already released a videotape and an audiotape featuring bin Laden earlier this month to mark the sixth anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3000 people in the US.

A third release had been trailed by al-Qaeda’s media arm, As-Sahab. In the event the new video was issued in the name of al-Tanzem, prompting suggestions the network has launched a new media arm.

The Victims of 9/11

From Saudi Arabia’s ArabNews, republished in Britain by Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, this is how the Arab world sees the September 11 attacks—when they aren’t celebrating.

Yes. And Japan was the victim of Pearl Harbour…

A remarkable comment from Jihad Watch:

In the UK, say, 10 years ago one of our best stand-up comics, Jasper Carrot (semi-retired now) did a routine were he had a conversation with a Christian. The dialogue was the Christian asked “Why did he always laugh at Christians why didn’t he have a go at the Muslims? The simple answer he gave himself was, “Because they will kill me!” It was incredible that in an auditorium with 5-6000 people who had been laughing up uproariously until then you could have heard a pin drop. I have never seen a professional performer in such a hole and I forget how he stopped digging. I would say there were very few Muslims in the audience but suddenly the silence was deafening.

That is how frightened people are in the UK even before 9/11

No, I have no idea how they did it, but they did it damned well, sez Charles from LGF:

Iran loses faith in clerics

Change elusive in rigid society

By Kim Barker

Tribune foreign correspondent

QOM, Iran

No Mo Moderates, Only Radicals:

The mob shouted for his blood. They called him a traitor; they yelled, “Death to Montazeri.”

The target of their wrath? The Grand Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri.

Once, he was heir apparent to the ruler of the country, an Iranian equivalent to Thomas Jefferson, an Islamic revolutionary who helped topple the dreaded Shah of Iran. Now, though, his fall from grace seemed complete. Outside his home, an unruly crowd of hundreds had branded him a heretic.

As Montazeri, partially deaf, prayed in a room behind his office, he barely heard bricks shattering the windows. But his family members were scared. They ran from the cleric to the chaos outside and back, trying to shield Montazeri from harm.

Eventually, the police took action on that day in 1997, spraying the mob with tear gas. The aging cleric and his family escaped harm. But they would endure years of punishment, house arrest, prison and harassment.

Montazeri’s crime was simple: He had publicly criticized his one-time allies, the clerics who run the country, for abandoning human rights and freedom as the foundation of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“The shah is gone,” Montazeri said in a recent interview. “But a clergy has replaced him.”

On one level, the story of Hussein Ali Montazeri is a powerful drama of life, death and resurrection in one of the world’s most rigid societies. Critics say he is naive, manipulated by the people around him and bitter after falling out of favor with the government. But at 82, Montazeri has survived years of intellectual apartheid to rise again in the eyes of the Islamic world. Today he is considered one of the top two Shiite clerics worldwide and is a powerful voice for moderation in Iran.

His story also shows the ups and downs of the struggle over Islam in a nation where large numbers of people yearn for the economic and political freedoms practiced in the secular West, often viewed as an icon of immorality by the conservative clerics of Iran.

In thick, black-rimmed glasses, a white skullcap, cardigan sweater and long robe, Montazeri hardly fits the image of a rebel. His hands shake. He often sits on a heating pad. He suffers from diabetes, but he hides chocolates in a desk drawer. He speaks in singsong sentences that trail off in a wheeze.

But Montazeri is at the heart of a battle over Iran’s fate–one that could hint at the future in the Middle East, where radicals from Iraq to the Gaza Strip want an Islamic revolution like the one that happened in Iran 25 years ago.

On one side are the powerful clerics who rule Iran and thwart the most modest reforms.

On the other side, grass-roots reformers complain that the fight for an Islamic democracy actually led to an Islamic dictatorship, one that jails or even kills its critics, violates basic rights and distorts the tenets of Islam.

Led by senior clerics such as Montazeri and one-time foot soldiers of the revolution, they seek democratic reforms that would restore a respect for human rights and freedom. Some, such as Montazeri, believe that the country can be run through an Islamic system. But others believe that religion has no place in government. They want the clergy to return to the mosques. They want a true democracy.

“I don’t have any doubt it will come,” said Ibrahim Yazdi, the Islamic Republic’s first foreign minister, who now leads the country’s only secular-leaning political party.

The people of Iran are caught in the middle, chanting “Death to America” at Friday prayers then welcoming American visitors with fresh fruit. They adhere to strict Islamic codes in public but disappear behind closed doors to drink homemade vodka and watch MTV.

They live in a nation that is rich in oil but has a stagnant economy. Jobs are scarce, the air polluted, the press controlled and the politics repressive.

And in the ultimate irony of the Islamic Republic, the country is becoming less religious, not more.

Friday prayers

On a Friday in January, one of Iran’s top politicians stood on an outdoor stage at the University of Tehran, praising the Islamic Revolution to a crowd of thousands.

“This is a big achievement,” said Hashemi Rafsanjani, Iran’s president from 1989 to 1997. “In today’s world, when many countries and people are against religion, we see a religion emerging capable of making a country run.”

This was no ordinary political stump speech. Rafsanjani was leading weekly Friday prayers, a blend of politics and religion, of pep rally and prayer, of love for Iran’s government and hate for the U.S. and Israel.

On one side of the audience, about 5,000 women sat on Persian carpets. Most wore chadors, sometimes using their teeth to hold the sheet-like coverings over their hair and bodies. They could not see Rafsanjani over the tall dividers separating them from about 15,000 men.

During Rafsanjani’s speech, the crowd responded with the same cheers of praise shouted since the revolution. “God is great,” they yelled. “Death to the United States.”

Iran is still a religious country, despite pushes for political reform. People in the crowd on Fridays embrace the revolution and all that has followed.

“Until the day we no longer have blood in our veins, we will say `Death to America,'” said Soraya Ghayoomi, before cheerfully handing an apple to an American.
