Fatwas, Fatwas Everywhere and Not a One For Me! (Religion of Peace Update)
There was an election in Iran yesterday, or what passes for an election in a country that proclaims my toilet paper (the Quran) to be the highest law of the land. Persians were asked to vote either for hard line Mullahs who want severe oppression or moderate Mullahs who only want a moderate amount of oppression. Either way, the fatwas are to keep on a rolling against every one and everything (but me!). What type of drugs do you have to be on to describe Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani as a reformist or a moderate when the guy supports terrorism and a Jew free Middle East?
Oh, and check this out from Will Franklin who almost gets himself arrested for attempting to report on the Iranian elections in Houston. Yes, a nation that we have no formal diplomatic ties to and which is a state sponsor of terrorism was allowed to run polling places on U.S. soil. Gateway Pundit reports on a polling station in St. Louis and Publius Pundit from another location.
Check out what the grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini says to Christopher Hitchens:
I stand," he tells me calmly, "for the complete separation of religion and the state." In terms that would make the heart of a neocon soar like a hawk, he goes on to praise President Bush's State of the Union speech, to warn that the mullahs cannot be trusted with nuclear weapons, and to use the term "Free World" without irony: "Only the Free World, led by America, can bring democracy to Iran."
Zawahiri crawls out of his cave to announce to the world his NAMBLA membership will be renewed.
The Taliban didn't get that memo from Howard Dean in which they directed to lay down their arms and give us no more problems since the U.N. approved that invasion and is in charge of rebuilding there. Yup, their still at it and have taken 18 police hostage.
The lunatics in the Arab world are at it again: Zarqawi is an American agent.
Hi, I'm Bono and I didn't know all that Muslims took that stoning shit seriously.
KG over at the California Mafia notices that one of the men arrested in the Lodi al Qaeda ring was seen at a 9/11 peace service. Not strange at all if one knows about the Islamic practice of taqiyah, or permissible lying. It also could be explained by the fact that many radical Muslims do believe in world peace and unity. Remember Darth Vader's dreams were of peace and order for the galaxy--which could only be insured by a heavy handed tyranny. So to many MUslims believe that once Islam dominates the world then love, peace, and joy. The utopian caliphate is the long-term strategic goal of al Qaeda and other Salafist groups.
And would it shock you to find out that the head of The Islamic Center of El Paso was taken into custody for an 'administrative immigration violations'?? Remember, 'lying about belonging to a terrorist organization' is not the same as 'belonging to a terrorist organization'......
In Yemen 11 al Qaeda terrorists were just sprung by an appeals court. This is the place where the USS Cole was attacked and is an 'ally' in the GWOT.
Two jihadis in Michigan to be sentenced and a grad student at The University of Arkansas arrested for his plans to do exactly what Edward Said, Noam Chomsky, and a majority of his professor's rhetoric (if believed) compelled him to do--become a Jew killing terrorist.
Cassandra, over at Villainous Company, has decided that terror is not the enemy, but ignorance, and has put the MSM in the crosshairs.
John from Crossroads of Arabia notes that some in Saudi Arabia are looking to Iraq as a success story.
The guys over at Move America Forward have started an I Heart Gitmo campaign. I love it. Slap that bumper sticker on and where this t-shirt to your next poli sci class....
A former gulag prisoner speaks out against Amnesty International, Dick Durbin, and the idiots of the Left drawing comparisons to gitmo.
Durbin sort of apologizes, but not really......CENSURE NOW!! Speaking of, a new alliance has formed called Blogs for Censure. Needless to say, I'm a charter member.
Confederate Yankee on Dick Durbin alienating the dead vote. (SFW: no gay porn in post)
Lileks is, well, Lileks.
Dave Burge, known to the rank-and-file as Iowahawk, is back and he has found some of the personal correspondence of Dick Durbin.
Cameron has penned a poem in Dick's honor.
And for the definitive last word on Durbin, you have to see Cox and Forkum.
John Conyers (Moonbat-MI).
Let the analogies to the Greek gods killing their Titan parents begin. Blog-son Dan Riehl is set to be on Fox News tonight. If you are interested in the you-know-who missing in Aruba case you'll do no better than checking in with Dan over at Riehl World View or with Red and Tom over at Scared Monkeys. These two blogs consistently beat the MSM to breaking news in Aruba.

I notice that there were women lined up to vote in the Iran election, even if it is rigged.
This is more than can be said for our "allies" Saudi Arabia. We sure do come off looking like jack asses supporting a Government that is more like the Taliban's regime of the day, with religious police, and Sharia law enforcement, public execution of dissidents and destruction of Christian materials, I wish we would take a harder line against them.

I for one refuse to give any money to any of the American hotel chains that accepted the Mullahcracy's "polling" places. To their management, I say forcefully:
"If you're too stupid to understand what you have just supported, I am too intelligent to give you my money."
I listed them in my last post.
Sleep elsewhere, fellow travelers.

Iran is going to get sorted out by its own people pretty soon. 70% of 75,000,000 people, that's, uh let's see, carry the 2... 52,500,000, are under 30 years of age. They don't remember the revolution, they don't remember the Shah, and they're sick and tired of a bunch of old men in dresses and turbans telling them what to do. They want to wear blue jeans and drink Coca Cola. They want to travel and study and fall in love, and they don't want some religious police goons hanging around asking questions. Bless them. Liberty and Justice for All, I say.

Just posted this over at Outside the Beltway re the Iranian election fraud and sham:
*****
The Iranian election is just a facade and sham for the MSM, the liberal left, and our Euro Weenie allies. The outcome of this election is already predetermined. Good PR though to make it look like a close race. Gives a sense of legitimacy that doesnÂ’t exist in reality.
There are many parallels to the World of the 1930Â’s with the rise of the Third Reich and appeasement of tryants in hopes they would go away. Appeasement doesnÂ’t work with tryants.
See my previous comment over at In From the Cold
DITTO!
NowÂ’s the time for all Americans to either stand up for what is right or shut up and get off the stage and quit whinning about GITMO.

Reasons why Rusty doesn't get a fatwa:
- Background colors soothe the Muslims reading these things
- Site has not yet made important undeniably false accusations about Islam or Muslims even if it reports all bad things related to them
- Site occasionally contains ''pro-muslim'' commenters who aren't treated with much hostility
- My pet jawa doesn't seem overUsaic and also seems like Rusty actually likes sandpeople enough to take care of them as pets
- Site might've slipped their infidel-radar, since the biggest mentions about this site are the USSR-atrocity article(s?) and articles about what that guy said about those guys

Thanks for the link.
The interesting thing in the Arkansas case is that a public university professor actually turned our junior jihadist into the authorities.

"The lunatics in the Arab world are at it again: Zarqawi is an American agent."
That one cracked me up. All these conspiracies seem to stem from Egyptian "scholars" and "historians". Those guys are all WHACKED. I would venure to guess that Big Guy is of Egyptian descent.

Now, for the cherry on top, Jimmah Cahtah will probably fall all over himself rushing to certify it. Liberals are slimy, subhuman, scumbag traitors to humanity, and should all be shot.

Oyster, a light in the void of the blogosphere, observed:

I have a theory: Every culture has its own values and ideas of behavior, and if we in America do some simple objective comparisons, as I have, we might find some things interesting, such as the presence or absence of the concepts of honor and shame.
Honor is something that the Western world seldom speaks of anymore, for various reasons, and I think that's a shame, because when a society loses its sense of honor, it begins to decline in certain ways. We also seldom speak of shame, because honor and shame go hand in hand. We can safely say that America is thickly inhabited by honorless, shameless people, at least by our standards.
Now if you go East, you will find most people in most cultures have a keen sense of honor and shame, but how they express those concepts and deal with them are unique to each culture. In Japan, for instance, if someone makes an offense, they are likely to be shunned by society and family until they have made amends. In America, we generally overlook most things that would make someone an outcast in Japan. This neither makes us better nor worse, relatively speaking, just culturally different, but the key is that in both societies, though polar opposites in so many ways, the outcome is that order and harmony are maintained, and society isn't terribly disrupted by the actions of an individual or group.
But then there are the Muslims. Islamic society, wherever it exists, is based on Arab culture, and rarely has a more dysfunctional culture existed, whether judged subjectively or objectively. Arabs are still very tribal by nature, whereas we in the West and the Far East abandoned tribalism long ago for the greater concepts of society and civilization, and therefore are much more socially evolved. I know some would make the argument that civilization begain in the Middle East, which is true, but it didn't begin among Arabs, and certainly not among belligerent tribes of nomadic raiders, and it still hasn't taken hold there these eight thousand years later.
One thing that sets Arab culture apart from the civilized world is that they are obsessed with their honor, but they have no sense of shame. They stand ready to justify any excess in retaliation to offenses against their honor, but they can not see anything they do as being dishonorable. To them, killing a person, or many people, is no different than killing a bug, if they are offended, no matter in what small way. Arabs have no sense of moderation, to them, every offense is worthy of death.
In their simplicity, rashness, cruelty born of lack of conscience, they are much like feral dogs who run uncontrolled and commit various crimes, both petty and grand, with no sense of right or wrong, only the need for gratification of lust, awaiting an opportunity. Anyone who refuses to accept civilized behavior cannot be dealt with as sane, rational adults, but rather must be dealt with as feral dogs.
