Iran yesterday shut down access to some of the world's most popular websites. Users were unable to open popular sites including Amazon.com and YouTube following instructions to service providers to filter them.Similar edicts have been issued against Wikipedia, the internet encyclopaedia, IMDB.com, an online film database, and the New York Times site. Attempts to open the sites are met with a page reading: "The requested page is forbidden."
What kind of does Iran want to suppress.?
Maybe Maryam Namazie's speech to the UN? Or Maybe this one, entitled Save Nazanin & Kobra from Execution? Or Possibly this series about the hanging of a 16 year old girl from “crimes against chastity†Or maybe just the hangings and exposure of their religious propaganda.
Iran’s Mullahs fear the truth almost as much as they fear women.

Having grown up with the children of Iranian refugees and watching the nightmare that Iran's government has become - I can appreciate the sympathy for Iranians. The thing is, if they want their freedom - if they want to get rid of the corrupt Theocratic Overlords that run their lives - then they will have to do what free people have always done. They will have to fight for it.
The demographic profile of Iran is stunning. It is an exceptionally young country. If they want their Iran back, the Iran they want, then earn it. If they are waiting for the US and any of the aging cowards in Europe we like building coalitions with to band together to overthrow the Mullahs - then they are fools. Lazy fools at that.
I know; mean, tough words. I could use worse, but I have too much respect for Iranians on the whole. Funny thing, of all the navies in the PERSIAN Gulf, the Iranian Navy was always one of the most polite and professional. Nothing personal.
No, I don't take the "Free Iran" serious as a movement until they put down their video software and mouse; and take up the gun.
The American people, I am afraid, at this point have had a generational fill of "Wars of Liberation."

Hmm.
I frequent this blog partly because I like an alternative spin on the news, and partly because I happen to like Americans, and the American way of life. Not so much the governmental side, which I feel is perhaps a little too involved with big business, but the people - proud, independent, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal. I've never known a quiet American - and I mean this as no insult. Five minutes after meeting one, you'll be chewing the fat over this, that and the other, as if you'd known him or her for years. It's nice, and a refreshing change from British reserve.
With that all said - I suppose I am, now, technically a part of Europe, and these continual assertions that we are all variously fat, lazy, old, gay, lefty, cowardly, weak, islamophilic, workshy, and generally not worthy of the air we breathe are starting to grow tiresome.
I will happily offer anyone who genuinely believes in the above the opportunity to discover, first hand, that we're not all the limp-wristed poofters you'd have us be. Given that you'd have to travel, I'll even chip in for the flight.
One-way, of course - you'll be going back as freight.

You have to realize that most of the Euros who visit our sites do
nothing but trash us so we just vent back in that general direction. We
certainly don't hate America because half of us are variously fat,
lazy, old, gay, lefty, cowardly, weak, islamophilic, workshy, and
generally not worthy of the air we breathe. (thats the democrat party)
So we certainly would not think all of you are that way.
But I would take you up on the free ticket if you want to have a beer drinking contest. MMMMMMMM.....BEER!

Nope. My only instance of smiteing at Joe Public was an accident. I am a fan of many things English. (Not gun control, but I doubt that's Joe's fault)
Joe, its true we are sloppy Americans when it comes to tossing Europe around as a sludgy doomed swamp of self denial. But I do believe that we (most of us) hold out hope for the continent even. I have seen a lot to encourage me the last few months. People in the UK making a noise, and rocking the boat. That's great
I wish you would post more often, since it is good to hear about the UK from someone who is for saving it. We have wusses over here in the states as well. Like in the UK, I'm sure they don't define the populace at large. Nobody here should get to holier than thou about the Islam thing. It needs settled down, and soon. By men on both sides of the water.
Anyway, please forgive us, and keep coming around. I think your good for us.
USA all the way!

Look at Europe's demographics. Look at the fact that France, Italy, Germany and Spain won't even fight in Afghanistan - they will stay in the North and West nice in relative safety. Only the US, UK, Canada and The Netherlands will. The UK is, from my perspective, part of the AngloSphere. Partially in Europe, but mostly still Anglo-Saxon. The Netherlands only has a population of ~17 million or so. That is it. Oh, wait. The 5 million Danes have a few hundred soldiers fighting.
Europe does not have the strategic lift to fight anywhere. Even if they had the will, which they don't, they do not have the way to fight anywhere.

I suspect the Frogs would, if they could, but their society is pretty edgy at the moment. They have a huge right-wing underclass, and a massive muslim population - if they really got involved in all of this, it'd all kick off back home. Bit of a no-win situation for the government. I might even feel sorry for them, if they weren't french....

Is Muqtada al Sadr aligning himself with Syria and making a move against Iran? A move which is in the interests of the US, Israel, and the entire Middle East?
That's what the anti-clerical Persian Journal claims. Sadr's anti-Americanism, from this article's perspective, seems more in line with that of Syria. Iran, in this view, is pushing Hezbollah to topple the Lebanon government because the anti-Israeli card is the only thing on which Syria and al Sadr's forces in Iraq will play ball on. And al Sadr is someone who the US can play ball with, much like we do with the Syrians, not because he is pro-American but because of his own self-interest.
If that is the case, then al Sadr may be playing Darth Vader to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Emperor Palpatine. Viewed as the lapdog but who, in fact, cautiously awaits the right time to make a move and take the reigns of leadership in the Middle East.
I'm not convinced, but interesting nonetheless. Especially given allegations that al Sadr's militia is financed, trained, and armed not in Damascus, but in Tehran.

All that muscle means squat after i take out youre kneecaps or splinter youre throat. Dont believe me, find out for youreself. Take a look around on the web and youll find out the truth about many of these "fit" and "strong" bodybuilders and strongmen. And dont even get me started on how many of them use steroids and other strength enhancers. Do you honestly think that a human body can get to such freakish size and strength without such help? And do you have ay idea what thay help does to their organs and skeletal structure? Id say go ask Mike Mentzer or his brother, but they are both dead. Guess what killed them.

ahmadinejad = hitler
assad = mussolini
sadr = goering
fuhrer - caliph/mahdi
then again:
maybe sadr thinks he's the mahdi.
and maybe so does ahmadinejad.
bottom-line: imho: iran has the $$$ and is calling most of the shots. have been since 1979.
binladen was anti-house of saud, as was saddam. this made them allies.
ultimately iran wants to restablish a shia caliphate. so does sadr.
assad couldn't care less.
if bush had balls he'd do whatever to takes to oust assad. and kill sadr. and kill ar-megiddo-nutjob.
the chaos afterwards would be a help.

"Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
He sure looks like he wants some sweet lovin from big mamma gamma rays doesn't he? What an evil looking face he has. Like my ex brother in law.
For the guys who like RPG's like DnD, there was a game 'Call of Cthulu'. In the game there was a horrible alien godlike entity, called Cthulu (go figure) hundreds of feet high, like a satanic Godzilla. If he was awakened he was unkillable, and utterly world ravaging.
There was a question about using nukes on Cthulu, and if they would work? Of course they would! The problem was that since Cthulu couldn't really die, he would just regenerate and reform, and then he would be unkillable, world ravaging, hundreds of feet high, and radioactive to boot!!! Not helpful.
Sometimes these Jihad loving, life hating, human monsters, remind me of the monsters of fiction. They are sort of larger than life, horrible, and unpredictable. They do not seem to be grounded in human understanding, like an alien evil entity.
The next world war is gonna be so ugly. I mean the last one was bad, but still ...
Vader seems cute and fluffy to me at the moment. Like an ewok. You could sometimes sort of laugh at Vader. "Impressive! Most impressive." Hee hee!
I hope he is more like Vader, than Cthulu ...

Hey oster my dad is 74 making threats like that means you are fucking asshole. I do apologize for missing the verb but one would think that you are not to thick headed as to not figure out the gist of the story.
Were is that Osama been forgotten AGAIN, anyways? Wasn't he the one who is nearly immobile being hooked to a dialysis machine living in a cave in the middle of no where and with no means of electronic communication? One would think the Patriotic Americans of the likes of you people would have a sticky at the top of this blog stating you grievances about the Emperor Chimps lack of ability to get the actual mastermind of 9/11 terrorist attacks. But no you people go off for days about threats that did not exist before the worst military blunder in the modern age has killed 3k plus US soldiers and countless innocent children. Ever wonder why these people hate America? Probable not, you are more concerned about killing everyone else. Blood lust has become your guide. It will only end in failure.

If al Sadr were to suffer the same fate as Zarqawi would we expect his militia to likewise cease to be a potent force ? Even if his militia was destroyed does anyone know who or what would step into that power vacuum? And destroying his militia would be problematical, insurgents always have the option of simply not fighting any battle that they wish to avoid.
Posted by: John Ryan at December 03, 2006 12:20 PM (TcoRJ)
Libs complain that we haven't caught Osama (but purely for political point scoring) and then complain that killing Zarqawi wouldn't stop the terror. Libs, make up your effing minds. You want it both ways but you aint gonna get it both ways.

His followers do not find anything unusual in all of this, because they have the same problem. Basically it traces back to a region of the Arabian desert. From humble begginings it has spread like a great green greasy cloud to infect a large portion of the third world, and CAIR.
Several cures are being considered. There is a radiation treatment that some feel is to severe, and risky, though it is said to work quickly.
Another teatment requires steady infusions of spinning lead tablets, at a rapid pace. This takes longer, but is said to have a decent chance of reversing the infection, and with more limited side effects.
A third treatment has been considered, and is known for helping weak plants to improve. Basically you talk to the seemingly unintelligent thing until it shows signs of improvement. This method has yet to stop the infection, and instead it seems to encourage growth in known test specimans.
Some suggested treatments include the lead based methed, in combination with the 'talk' method. This will only work if the Liberals don't drag the doctor off in chains.
The Liberal treatment method recomends removing the patients most helpful organs, and then leaving the patient to die. This is called 'cutting, and running' and has seen to prevent the spread of self respect in the medical staff, and to promote distrust in the patient. It also promotes the occurance of secondary infections which can spread to other bodies.
I hope an effective treatment combination is developed quickly. Placebos don't cut it.

Also I thought that the Syrians were allied by tribe,religion, and political party (Ba'ath) with the Sunnis? Why would they be helping train the death squads that are used against the Sunnis ?
In Syria "rogue" elements within the Ba"ath Party meet unpleasant ends.

Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted the collapse of Israel, the U.S. and Britain, attacking what he called their ``oppressive behavior.''``The Zionist regime is on a steep downhill towards collapse and disgrace,'' Ahmandinejad told supporters at a rally of Basiji militia forces near Tehran today. In a reference to the U.S. and U.K., he said ``the collapse and crumbling of your devilish rule has started.'' The speech was carried live on state television.
In related news, the ISG wants to bring Russia in to help cure radiation poisoning, Cuba to help with the North Korea situation, and Dr. Rusty Shackleford to help out in case Brangelina have marital problems.

Trying to think of just what the democratic policy is. I can't understand them. I think they don't have a policy. They leave policy to the Republicans. Too adult for them. Democrats are like children in the back seat. Complaining, complaining, complaining. He hit me. She kicked me. Then waiting for the adults to decide what to do about it. Then they complain "that isn't fair". You should have done it this way. I'm going to cut and run away from home. If you spank me I'll tell my teacher. AAAAAAH LEFTURDS.

I am sure that the new rulers will be of the liberal secular type and not islamic fundamentalists.
Well rooster fortunately for you foreign policy is not under the control of the Congress. George Bush will continue to lead us for two more years and he seems to be ready to "stay the course".
My personal view is that at this point neither Iran nor Syria will be able to have much of an impact on Iraq. The insurgency seems to be self supporting and I don't think it has much in the way of top down control. How much actual control over someone like al Sadr has over all elements of his militia is open to debate.

As an American, I have no desire to fight my own countrymen in Iraq or elsewhere. As the right wing blogosphere is so impassioned about supporting our country's occupation of Iraq and vehemently opposed to the Iraqis' defensive campaign against it, wouldn't it be honorable and consistent with your beliefs to enlist? To fail to take action while the Army and Marines need able-bodied personnel shows a certain lack of faith and confidence. Do you believe the Iraq occupation and your fellow countrymen dying there are worthy of your own blood? Is that how the right wing bloggers "support the troops"? From a safe, sheltered distance?

Fantasies! Fantasies!
You also sound like an angry self-hating Muslim queer.
Say hi to Mohammed for me. I'm sure you'll give him a reach around at least.
And please, tone it down.

"As the left wing blogosphere is so impassioned about supporting our country's flight from Iraq and vehemently opposed to the Iraqis' defensive campaign against terrorism, wouldn't it be honorable and consistent with your beliefs to enlist in Al qaeda? To fail to take action while the pussies and wimps of islam need able-bodied personnel shows a certain lack of faith and confidence. Do you believe the Iraq terrorism campaign and your fellow jihadis dying there are worthy of your own blood? Is that how the left wing bloggers "support the terrorists"? From a safe, sheltered distance?

As to the topic: Whatever happened to putting pressure on terror
sponsors? Now we're asking for their help? Assad and
Ahmadinnerjacket are megalomaniacs. All we're doing is feeding
their bloated egotistical appetites while they continue to hand off
supplies, money and tactical help to terrorist groups. These guys
aren't inclined to help anyone but those who will solidify their
positions. It's a fools errand.

Last time I looked President Moron was running this war without seeking any advise from either Democrats or Republicans, in congress.
Since he has made a complete mess of it, he will now appear to be "non-partisan", while rejecting the recommendations of the Baker study group, because they don't fit with his neocon strategy for fighting a war.
I guess you guys think that Bush's daddy was a moron, too, since you have no hope for his buddies to make the recommendations, that are acceptable to you.
If neither President Moron or the Iraq study group has the answers, who does?
President Moron has created a mess with only 2 kinds of solutions, left to consider: bad and worse.

I havent called anyone a chickenhawk. you are entitled to express an opinion on the war whether or not you are in the military. but i am saying that you must not truly believe the Iraq war is a matter of national survival.
if you are an able bodied person born after Nov. 28, 1964, you say the Iraq war is necessary for our civilization to survive against those who wish to establish a global caliphate....
and yet you are not truly participating in the war?
there's a serious credibility gap there.

Whether he serve after arguing incessantly that the world is facing impending doom in the face of Islamists - if he is in fact eligible for enlistment - now that does affect his credibility.
if he and other pro war advocates truly believed in the gravity of the Islamic threat they would either join the fight themselves or call on their readers to enlist also.
But it's clear Rusty doesn't really believe the Islamists are about to conquer the world, or that Iraq is really worth the blood and resources America is investing in it - otherwise he would be there.
Jimmy Stewart, Jackie Robinson, Ronald Reagan...and countless others did so when the threat was real.
Howie said:
"I really don't think standing Rusty up there so two more good
professional career soldiers can waste their time carrying him off the

A soldier gives the utimate gift. We should use our talents to help as we can but the idea that the entire nation should run off to the recruiting office tommorrow is just silly. Should all the poeple at boeing stop building planes and run off to Iraq. So, do you know what's best for Rusty or me for that matter. Do you really think that the soldiers want a bunch of less that healthy fatasses getting in their way? No you are just making a cheap attack based on a straw man argument.

My respect for Secretary Rice notwithstanding, I RESENT the fact that she pressured Israel to stop short of eradicating Hizbullah and negotiate for the release of the two kidnapped soldiers (who haven't yet been released).
In fact, a morally and legally correct respone to the Hizbullah kidnapping of the two Israeli soliders would've been to wipe out the 400,000 strong so-called Revolutionary Guards Corp of the Iranian Mullahs by round-the-clock bombardment. Perhaps even using tactical bunker-busting nukes to take out the mullah nuke and missile facilities and sites.

HOW TO BECOME RICH HOW TO TURN SIX DOLLARS INTO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS: READING THIS COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE! IT DOES WORK! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it.
So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send $1.00 to each of the 6 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #6, and post the article in at least 250 newsgroups. (There are thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it overI thought about trying it. I figured: "what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00, right?" Then I invested the measly $6.00 (I use the word "measly" because $6 really is measly compared to the money I have made through the initial investment). Well GUESS WHAT!?... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000! In the third week I had over $10,000 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! NOTE: Please follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000 or more can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants.STEP 1:
: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:
:1.. AJ Armbrust3731 Grand AvenueDuluth, MN 55807
2.Steve Wehvila3155 Vernon St.Duluth, MN 55806
3.James Rush621QueenAvenueMinneapolis,MN55411
4.Liz Grice 3413 Harvard ave. Columbia, SC 29205
5.Eng. Yousef Abu Hadhoud P.O. Box 4028 North Hashemi, Amman - Jordan
6.Juliet Barriola 225 west 232cd street apt.2E Bronx, New York 10463
STEP 2:
: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list.
STEP 3:
: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 250 newsgroups You won't get very much unless you post like crazy. PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions. So, as each post is downloaded and the directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer with one dollar each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #1 position you will be receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What an opportunity for only $6.00 ($1.00 for each of the first six people listed above) Send it now, add your own name to the list and you're in business!
Out of 250 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 250 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 250 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 250 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 250 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,1250!!!

The Ziocons need another incident as a distraction and will manufacture it if need be. They need martial law to fill their internment camps and silence the chatter.
A false flag, dirty bomb operation, blamed on Iran would do the trick. Then they can attack Iran with nukes, after all, “they attacked us with nukes firstâ€.

John 8: 3-11
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,Michell Malkin puts out an urgent request to help Save Malak Ghorbany.They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Her execution has been stayed, for now, thank God, but adultery is still a capital offense in Iran.
The disgusting part of what many human rights groups are urging is that Iran stop execution by stoning.
The real problem is not stoning, but the death sentence for adultery!
And many Lefties want to compare fundamentalist Christians with the mad Mullahs of Iran. Are they out of their frigging minds?
If Monica Lewinsky was Persian, she'd be dead.

However, we are dealing with Old Testament enemies here. And, I am afraid, we are going to have to resort to Old Testament Ass-Whuppin's to survive this ordeal. The very idea of stoning makes me sick to my stomach. OH, wait! They must have evolved just a tad, because they actually allow the women to be buried deeper than the men, so their breasts won't be exposed to the freaking ROCKS they are throwing at them.
Excuse me, I have to go puke.

In many states, Adultery is not a crime. Where I live, it's been completely decriminalized, and cannot even be admitted into divorce court as a primary reason for divorce!
Adultery destroys as many families as alcoholism or drug abuse. It is, in fact, more insidious, because it is invasive of marriage. It attacks the very core belief of marriage: trust. When that particular bond is broken, the damge can be as great as that from murder or suicide, and the aggreived spouse's greif as great as that resulting from death. families are destroyed, and children are left to ponder just what happened, because it's awfully hard to explain those emotions to a small child, or even an older one.
And what sort of example is adultery to a developing child, especially an adolescent?
Adultery is a terrible crime, which cuts a wide swath of destruction and leaves many innocents in it's wake.
There has to be some sort of strong punishment for adultery, if for no other reason than to protect society.

Wouldn't reverting back to Old Testament ways simply because we face a difficult enemy be in direct contradiction of Christ's teachings? His words were very plain in the New Testament and I'm fairly certain there was nothing about "Ass-Whuppin'" or anything similar in His teachings.
In fact, this seems to be precisely what the Pope was saying about the Muslim faith. My impression was he was comparing a violent Muslim approach to the more peaceful Christ-like approach to the world.
I guess my question is, do all the Christians here feel comfortable with ignoring the teachings of Christ for the purpose of battling an enemy? Isn't this the kind of test of your faith that's discussed throughout the New Testament and especially in the Revelation of John?

The commandent doesn't say "Thou shalt not kill". It says "Thou shalt not murder". God expects you to protect your own life, even if it means taking another.
Even Jesus demanded that those around him defend their own lives. Luke 23:36 says plainly "Then said he unto them, but now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and like wise his scrip; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."
Peter carried a sword at Gesthamane, and likely many of Jesus' followers did as well, becuase the Temple Guards who came for Jesus were backed up by a Cohort of Roman soldiers. That's a 600-man unit. That's a pretty large force to send for one man, unless there was a rather large following about him and the authorities anticipated trouble.
Responding to evil, especially that of a bilblical mindset, requires an appropriate response. I refuse to meet God and have to 'splain to Him that I squandered His most precious gift to me of life by allowing some dress-wearing, towel-headed introverted mysoginist to butcher me like some indolent sheep.

Okay then, just what sort of punishment should adultery deserve? Should it be punished at all? By strong punishment, I was considering 2-4 years in jail and a heavy fine. Massachusetts still allows (IIRC) a 2-year jail sentence and a $10,000 fine for each count. Maine sees it as of no consequence. A big gap there. The Feds leave it up to the staes, although the military still considers it a seperate punishable offense and can impose stiff penalties for each count.
The point is this: We have criminalized all sorts of anti-social behaviour, from being drunk in public, to drug use, to smoking in non-designated areas, to appearing top-less in public. Yet adultery gets, in most areas, a free pass. My question is why?
Certainly capital punishment, especially stoning, is way out of proportion here. I have no truck with you on that part, and agree with all of your article above. I just see a sort of lax attitude about something with potentially serious effects upon society. That's all. Sorry if my previous posting wasn't up to your standards. I'll try and do better.

Stop being such a buzz kill man, If after a few bongs some babes want to smoke my peace pipe, who am I to stop them? marriage is a Christian Taliban ideology pushed on the people by the Government, man, I should be able to spread my wild seed anywhere, as long as that chick has her vagina scraped and vacuumed afterwards, overpopulation is bad for the environment, and can cause baby seals to die.
There never will be a criminal penalty for Adultery, after all the very institution of marriage is under attack.

What should the punishment be?
First, define adultery. Is casual conversation, making a strong connection with someone of the opposite sex and repeatedly meeting up for that adultery? Is looking at porn adultery? Well, let's see what Jesus says:
"You have heard that it is said, 'You shall not commit adultery'; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already commited adultery with her in his heart.'"
What's the punishment for that? Is every man in American gonna go to jail?

Even from the verse of Luke Gwedd cited, it's obviously talking about defense of yourself or your property from an aggressor. I'm fairly certain the concept of preemptive self defense is not covered in the Bible, not that I remember at least, I'm of course open to being corrected.
While I know many Christians in the world do not consider his word to be the authority, even Pope John Paul II said the concept of preemptive self defense is not a just war in the eyes of the church. At the very least his word must carry some weight.
Maybe I'm misinterpreting though. Does most everyone here agree that many of the tactics encouraged on this site are sins and simply believe "We can all pray for fogiveness once we are not afraid of suicide bombers..."? To put it bluntly, I was always taught you can't use the Christian concept of forgiveness as a "get out of jail free card." In other words, if you pursue this course knowing full well it's implications within your faith, you're in a whole different ball field from a "standard" sin.
btw, Editor, I wasn't arguing that the NT directs Christians not to wage war. Quite honestly, I'm not arguing any point in particular. I'm merely curious about and, exploring out loud, the religious implications of some of the more extreme points of view being espoused on this site.

If you, your family, or friends are attacked, force is athorized. Apply as much force as you need to win. Then tie them up, even the dead ones. That's SOP.

Did he ask you to have faith in God? or did he do a comparison of Jesus as a prophet and what he said in the Christian Bible?
Iran is set to stone to death a young woman for the crime of adultery. Muslims constantly tell me that they believe Jesus is a prophet. Are we talking about the same Jesus here?

"If you, your family, or friends are attacked, force is athorized. Apply as much force as you need to win. Then tie them up, even the dead ones. That's SOP."
That's something I completely agree with but has little to do with the discussion here. Here I was talking about preemptive self-defense and the most extreme "defensive" tactics like genocide and their religious implications.
"I suggest living a good life, saying your prayers, and keeping your weapons clean, and ammo dry. It does't hurt to work out."
I definitely try to live a good life, I skip the prayers though, it's just not for me. As for weapons, I doubt I could fight WWIII from here but I'm well armed and everything is well maintained. Maintaining my property is plenty of a workout.

Then there is a married man or woman engaging in sex with someone other than their spouse.
In civilized countries, two people unattached getting it on is considered healthy and normal as long as the relationship is as such. In no society I know of is cheating on your spouse considered acceptable behavior.
But you still don't kill the cheater over it. You ostracise them from your social group ie family, clique etc. You don't friggin stone them to death. And when children are involved, you handle it with dignity regardless of how undignified the situation really is.
Nobody dies.

Science and Religion are not mutually exclusive. God created the Universe and all things in it, including yourself. Science is simply mankind's attempt to try and understand how God did it.
Somethings, however, are beyond our simple minds. Can you scientifically prove that love exists? Love is not physical, although certain effects of it may be. We cannot SEE love. We cannot TOUCH love. We cannot TASTE love, and yet there it is. We can deduce it's existence because of it's effects upon our physical environment. We recognize love's presence through it's results. God is the same.
As for Fairies and Trolls and other such creatures, whose to say they don't exist? Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they aren't around..... there was a rather large whoops! When Neanderthal was discovered. Same thing with Dinosaurs. No one believed Vikings actually made it to America until a few decades ago when the settlement was discovered. Whoops.
Sit back and enjoy the ride. It's too darned John Calvinist like to put everything into a box labled SCIENCE and say "THERE! That's ALL THERE IS!".
Come to think of it, there are some rather unsettling similarities between certain science supporters and certain middle-eastern religious extremists.......

Let us take Iraq for example. I wish we were not there; However, after 12 years of UN B.S. Bush took the country in. Iraq supported Hamas with $20,000.00 per Jewish bus. There are other examples, but I will leave it at that.
So, we pre-blasted their ass. You would think, the other moon god worshippers in the area would lie low. Hardly.
War has been declared. These last few days I think the world has awoke. They want the Pope dead, they have declared war, (again), on Christians. That's me.

So in that sense, no, they are NOT "talking about the same Jesus here". They claim to be speaking about the same character, but in fact they have a very different view of what he said, and they certainly don't consider the Christian Bible an authoritative source.

As for the Christian response to Islam, now you're getting into an interesting area. I'm aware of the history between the two especially as it pertains to the run-up to the various crusades. While the initial motivation for the first crusade was pure self-defense, I hope you're not arguing that the Christian's hands were clean in the ensuing *13* crusades.
"Christianity has already given enough blood to Islam. These people who desire to return the World to the 7th C. need to be stopped at all costs. Even it if takes war."
Now, back to my original point/question. The quote of yours above, while understandable, doesn't strike me as inline with Christ's teachings. This touches on the exact question I've been driving at. How do you, as a Christian, make that position fit with Jesus' teachings?
I mean, not to sound condescending or overly simplistic but WWJD?

Just a note, I am pro-death penalty however, I respect the idea of Amnesty International and most of the work they do.
The UN however is a joke when it comes to human rights. They obviously don't care outside of politics. Rawanda was the turning point and their lack of meaningful action in Sudan shows the UN couldn't care less about human rights. Don't even get me started on the makeup of their various "human rights commisions."

Rich,
I'm the other christian on this blog. It's basically just JJ and me. The concept of "just war" and Jesus's teachings do not contradict, so the premise of your question-- that they do contradict-- is moot.
"Turning the other cheek" does not apply to war because war is a communal endeavor, while "turning the other cheek" is personal. In other words, you cannot turn the other cheek for others who have been slapped (which is what you would have to do if the notion applied to war), you can only turn the other cheek for yourself. In war, your christian duty is to defend the oppressed from the oppressor, even using violence. That's just war.

I'll repeat/rephrase some of my earlier questions and comments just to get it all in one place:
I don't believe a preemptive action would be considered a just war. Pope John Paul II said exactly that. Yes I realize you may not recognize his authority but, his opinion surely must carry some weight.
Would a largely indiscriminate action be justifiable? Yes, I understand war is messy but, seeing people advocating a war against all Muslims (or a moderately large percentage) is obviously indiscriminate.
Are all tactics in a just war also just? Even the most extreme such as genocide or something just short of that?
I may have pulled the two wrong people into my public train of thought. While I disagree with you and JJ on many topics I don't think you two hold some of the more extreme points of view I was interested in exploring. And while you two may be the only "real" Christians on here you are hardly the only ones that claim to be.

The problem in Iran is their description of adultery includes women who have been raped and cannot produce 4 men of good character as witnesses to the crime committed. As we seen in the past, this is the common reason why most women in places like Iran and Pakistan are executed for adultery. They haven't actually committed adultery but have been raped. And then there's the problem of these women being killed by their families in honor killings because they have brought shame to their families.
Jesus was writing on the ground (Greek word grapho was used in the original text which can mean to write or figuratively to describe). We are not told what He was writing.
As to whether Jesus is the same Jesus for Muslims, Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55 Number 640 says that when Muhammad went on his night of ascension, when he reached the second heaven he saw John the Baptist and Jesus and they greeted Muhammad saying "Welcome, O Pious Brother and Pious Prophet?" Pious doesn't mean pedophile, murderer, thief, etc. so it can't be the same Jesus. Muhammad also said that he met Jesus after Jesus came out of the bathroom in the second heaven and Jesus was embarrassed.It's just so laughable. And since Muslims believe that Allah substituted someone else for Jesus on the cross (Quran An-Nisa 4:157)and brought Jesus up unto himself, doesn't that mean that Allah's "divine" intervention is responsible for the world's largest religion?

He's encouraging students to purge the universities. It may seem infeasible, given the anti-regime stance of students, but the right mix of top down pressure and looking the other way when "extremists" "go too far" has been known to get results in the past.
This is worrisome because Iran's universities are the locus of opposition to Khomeinism, sharia, and religious conservatism. When we hear, as we do so often, that the Iranian street despises the ruling Mullahs, it is almost always university students giving those sentiments voice.
If Ahmadinejad succeeds in purging the universities, then the last best hope for peaceful regime change in Iran will have been crushed.
AP:
Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called Tuesday for a purge of liberal and secular teachers from the country's universities, urging students to return to 1980s-style radicalism.UPDATE: PBS reporter ordered out of Iran. Given no reason, but she wanted to do an interview with the parents of student protester tortured and murdered in an Iranian prison.The president, in his role as head of the country's Council of Cultural Revolution, does have the authority to make such changes. But his comments Tuesday seemed designed more to encourage hard-line students to begin a pressure campaign on their own, thus forcing universities to oust the teachers.
Iran retired dozens of liberal university professors and teachers earlier this year. And last November, Ahmadinejad's administration for the first time named a cleric to head the country's oldest institution of higher education, Tehran University, despite protests by students.

Islamist- What a bootleg word. Call them what they are. That means they're either Salifist, Khomeinist, Pan-Arabist, Islamic Socialist.
Jihad- Like people know what this actually means. This means waging a struggle against an inner evil. Not holy war. No war is holy in Islam. So when you call someone a jihadist, that means they're a good person. So don't call them that.
Jihadist- What did I say before?
Anyway, we might just see a July 7th happen again. This time I think that PJAK, Jundallah, and the Arbav Martyrs of Khuzestan might stir up some trouble if the students revolt.

From Radio Free Europe:
There has been talk that Khatami's U.S. visit could eventually lead to a meeting with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, whose presidency was marred by the taking of U.S. hostages in Tehran following the Islamic revolution in 1979.Even so, some people are hopeful. In particular, Professor Houshang Amirahmadi of Rutgers University and the Iranian-American Council believes Khatami's presence is positive and a meeting with Jimmy Carter could be a real icebreaker."The Washington Post" reported that Carter has agreed in principle to host Khatami. There has been no official reaction from Khatami, but the "Financial Times" quoted Iranian sources today as saying Khatami would be unlikely to accept such an invitation.
"Before traveling to the U.S., Mr. Khatami should discuss the issue with Iranian leaders, with Ayatollah [Ali] Khamenei, and tell them that after meeting with Mr. Carter he would invite [Carter] to visit Iran," Amirahmadi says.So, if birds of a feather flock together, I'd guess that Khatami and Carter would make the perfect anti-American pair of flocking caucusers.

Iran and Iranians survived the sord of Islam some 1500 years ago, and again Iran is occupied by Arabs and Iranians held hostage, except the sords has been change with a Russion made machine Gun.
There are no negotiations to be had, when will these politaticions get it, No one can make a deal with the devil and thses Mullah's will and have put one over the devil.

We have absolutely zero inside intelligence on the Iranian nuclear program. We do know they have outside help from Pakistan via the now infamous A.Q. Khan, father of the Islamic nuclear bomb...
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/iran/khan-iran.htm
They were getting equipment and plans as far back as 1988 and the IAEA has proof it continued up to at least 1996, a full 6 years after Pakistan supposedly stopped sending it...
Who's to say they don't already have nuclear weapons, and are just waiting to build a sufficient supply of fissible material and weapons before announcing so?
Seeing how much the loony Basiji President of Iran has been spouting, I place my bet that they already possess a few weapons.

You wouldn't believe how intensely ordinary Iranians hate these Revolutionary Guards ("Pasdaran"). In Arab countries, however, they walk around ten feet all carrying themselves as the champions of Islam.
The patriots do target them when they can. For instance, military planes transporting ranking officers of the "Pasdaran" are somehow very very accident prone! The colonel commander of the supposedly most elite unit amongst them (called "Quds") was cut down by patriots in broad daylight. And no,... I don't consider these patriots terrorists since they only target the uniformed agents of the Islamic regime and not any civilians.

If you or your co-bloggers find pictures of any documents/material/arms etc with clearly visible markings that these dead Revolutionary Guards may have had with them; I could read and translate stuff for you any if you guys just post the pictures somewhere. If you are interested that is.

Please don't ban greyrooster! He's probably one of the most reasonable unreasonable voices here! (you could reverse that too - works both ways).
No one should be banned really - they should be argued with or ignored ... and you can easily alternate both with the same person depending on the point.
He and I have differences - here is a perfect example - Iranians - I feel strongly the opposite and now don't have the opportunity to argue it with him.

Face to face, I can tell the difference between Persians and Arabs pretty easily. It's really just a question of familiarity. So I don't doubt that Israeli's could identify Iranians, but I still doubt this particular report because it is so poorly sourced.

I strongly suspect that there are however Iranians in the field there. My "proof" is purely anecdotal. The Plaestinians (HZba) aren't bright enough on there own to reach this level of partial proficiency.
If there is a lightblub in the area to be found - chances are an Iranian screwed it in.

Washington Post: TEHRAN, Iran -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ordered government and cultural bodies to use modified Persian words to replace foreign words that have crept into the language, such as "pizzas" which will now be known as "elastic loaves," state media reported.A few others I think are common.
The academy has introduced more than 2,000 words as alternatives for some of the foreign words that have become commonly used in Iran, mostly from Western languages. The government is less sensitive about Arabic words, because the Quran is written in Arabic.Among other changes, a "chat" will become a "short talk" and a "cabin" will be renamed a "small room," according to official Web site of the academy.
"Nuclear Bomb Fuel" will be renamed "The good stuff".
"Tryanny" shall be renamed "Freedom".
"Israel" shall be renamed "Extinct".

Ahmadinezhad is also called "Antar" meaing Chimp, "Meymoon" meaning Monkey, and "1K" because this mother-f**ker has personally participated in murdering 1000 Iranian Partiots. Actually this parasites name means "of the race of Mohammad"; the arsehole is NOT even Iranian. He's a f**king Arab.
For "Islam", we say "Eshal" meaning diarrhoea. This is especially appropriate, since Islam is a an afflication of the soul.

Actually one of the ways in which this Arabo-Islamic regime is engaged in erasing the identity of the Iranian people is their continuous attempt at diluting the Persian language with numerous superfluous Arabic admixtures. Discouraging the use of words from Western languages is part of their strategy at creating and widening a gap between Iranians and the westerners. Actually since Persian is an Indo-European/Indo-Aryan language, Western words fit in with its grammer more seamlessly than Arabic words.

Frankly your country would've done the whole world a huge favour by eliminating the threat of the Mullahs ruling Iran and their henchmen (including Hizbullah) before dealing with that arsehole Saddam.
Put another way, although eradicating the Baa'thist regime of Saddam was morally correct, in my opinion, it wasn't as immediately urgent as regime change in Iran. And if you guys ever do decide to take on the Mullahs, I'll be happy to serve alongside you. I'm probably too bloody old to serve in a combat capacity, but I can serve as an interpretter. As you can see my English ain't half bad.

You pinkos have a great deal in common with Islamists; both groups want to turn the world into a hive where a self-appointed handful called respectively "the Party secretariate" or "the Califite" control every aspect of peoples lives from their beliefs all the way to the content their bread-baskets.
So, F**K YOU pinko commie b*tch. It ain't gonna happen.
Totalitarianism is doomed to extinction since freedom is the the natural state of man.
Recall your recent history you pinko b*tch:
a) Nazi'ism was dispatched to hell.
b) Japanese Shoganite was reduced to ashes.
c) Soviet Union disintegrated
d) The Ottoman Islamic Califite was shattered.
And I promise you, Islamism will be flushed down the toilet of history where it belongs.
The only reason you commies support the Islamofascists is to retaliate against the U.S. for having been largely responsible for the extinction of Stalinism of which a pathetic handful like you are the only relics.

Do you not have a shred of logic in you?

The government's enemies can not join forces because they are too segregated by ideology. Herioc Dreamer, anarchists are organized. Just because in school you were not taught about the anarchist movement does not mean that they were unorganized. I'll tell you about one of my favorite anarchists: Nestor Makhno. You see, Nestor was besieged by a variety of enemies: the Russian White Army, the Ukraine nationalists, and the Bolsheviks. The peasant insurgents he organized actually won some clashes with those forces. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the Bolsheviks. If none of you believe that then go to the Nestor Makhno Archive.

Sorry Heroic Dreamer, I am not French. They treat the Algerian immigrants as bad as they treat Jews. It is not easy being the only one that thinks differently here. Actually debating different thoughts is what blogs should be about, not segregating themselves. Isn't that what controversy is all about? Facing ideas in sharp contrast to yours? I think I will take some time off from this blog. Trying to spread some political diversity by yourself is no easy task, especially if the whole blog is against you. Oh well, I think I'll pursue my studies at college. One more think, not all anarchists are white, ok? Peace out.

They spend around 1 billion U.S. dollars every year on Muslime propaganda in the U.S. alone; one facet of this propaganda is to pollute the media including the internet and radio/TV talk-shows etc etc.

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran's hard-line president warned Friday that continued Israeli strikes against Palestinians could lead to an Islamic "explosion" targeting
Israel and its Western supporters.Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told thousands of demonstrators gathered in the capital, Tehran, to condemn the strikes in the
Gaza Strip that Israel's supporters could be the target of revenge by Muslims."They should not let things reach a point where an explosion occurs in the Islamic world," he said. "If an explosion occurs, then it won't be limited to geographical boundaries. It will also burn all those who created (Israel) over the past 60 years," he said.
Ahmadinejad once again questioned Israel's right to exist.
So.....an Islamic explosion? What does that mean? Are they going to start flying hijacked airplanes into buildings? Blow up trains and subways? A nightclub in Bali, perhaps?
I think Islam's done already exploded.

Stone-throwing Iranian students fought police and Islamic vigilantes on Wednesday in protest against restrictions imposed by the government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, witnesses said.Gateway Pundit is following the story closely.Students who covered their faces with scarves lit fires outside dormitories through Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, photographs showed. By dawn the streets were littered with hundreds of stones they had thrown.
Deputy Tehran Governor Abdollah Roshan told the ISNA students news agency 40 policemen and four students had been injured. He said the police had arrested six people.
Senior student leader Abdollah Momeni said up to 2,000 students had gathered for the protest over the expulsion of some students and the way authorities had been handling critics.
He added 20 had been seized by Islamic vigilantes who broke into the dormitories.
"The main reason for the objections in recent days goes back to the limitations imposed on universities and political students after the new government came to power," Momeni said.

Seattle PI : TEHRAN, Iran -- The government closed one of the country's top three newspapers Tuesday, detaining its editor and cartoonist for publishing a caricature that caused members of Iran's Azeri minority to riot in protest.That’s and average of 20 newspapers closed per year since 2000. Iran, the international beacon of intellectual freedom and expression. Ha! More like an example of how to crush freedom with Islamic rule in ten years or less.
State television reported that the Press Supervisory Body had closed the state-owned newspaper Iran "due to its publication of divisive and provocative materials."The closure was indefinite, the television reported. It was the first time a newspaper had been banned since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office last year.
On Friday, the Farsi-language newspaper published a cartoon showing a cockroach speaking Azeri, the language of an ethnic group in northwestern Iran…
…Iran's conservative judiciary has closed more than 100 newspapers, mostly pro-reform, since 2000. Tuesday's closure, however, came from the Press Supervisory Body, not the judges.

Regardless of the merit of holding contempt for the Mullahs, printing falsehoods will only serve to discredit the opposition. And you know who that serves. One thing I like is Persian Journal's campaign against "Arabization" of Iran. In his Religions and Philosophies in Central Asia, Gobineau speculates on the rise of a new logic chopping servant class, after the conquest by Arab savages.

It becomes a little more plain every day whose side they're on, and it isn't ours. Liberals have taken the side of every psychopathic murderer for the last hundred years, and they're no different today. They should be our allies against a common enemy, but they want us to lose. They are traitors. An enemy is one thing, but a traitor is another; it is as true now as it was two thousand years ago when Cicero wrote about them. There is only one reasonable solution.

correct. The Libs are wiping their brows in relief that the part about badging the Jews is false because what a headache that would be having to damage control that one!
But notice how crickets chirping about the true part of the story where the religious police are going to enforce a dress code for women. No damage control possible on that one, so ignore it and hope nobody notices.
What a joke these Turd worlders have made of Libs. Defending the intolerable just because it comes from the Turd world brown people has turned Liberalism into a shell of its former self.

If THE JOOS had to wear yellow clothing and not a Star-of-David in Iran, would that make it OK?

No, I don't consider this a victory. And no, I don't think Christians in Iran are treated well. They are treated BETTER than Bahais and the few remaining Jews and the atheists and the homosexuals, but they face extraordinary social and legal discrimination.
There are so many reasons to hate the Mullahs that we don't need to promulgate stories that are false. This was created by Iranian exiles that pray for us to invade. America fell for that crap from the Iraqi National Congress and Chalabi in 2002-3. We don't need to fall for it again.
And IM, seriously--get help. I think everyone here can see that you have unresolved anger issues. You could go postal at any time.

May 19, 2006
Free Republic : Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.I know, Iran can save help out their budget by adopting the old Nazi patches. They are hip, already designed and cheap to make, Then force non-Muslims to buy them as a Dhimmi tax. This Islamic rule thingy is like Nazism for Dummies."This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."
Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this week setting a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear almost identical "standard Islamic garments."
The law, which must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.
Iran's roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.
"There's no reason to believe they won't pass this," said Rabbi Hier. "It will certainly pass unless there's some sort of international outcry over this."
Hat Tip: Son of the Godfather.
Update : Some say this is not in the law. The Original story is here.
From the Jerusalem Post : The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations released a statement saying, "We have been seeking to clarify these reports but do not yet have confirmation. There are clear indications that various Iranian government agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, are working on new uniforms to be introduced in the fall."While such legislation would be reminiscent of dark periods in the past, like the Nazi era when Jews and others had to wear identifying badges, it is also consistent with the racist and extremist ideology propagated by President Ahmadinejad.
We are monitoring the situation and seeking to ascertain the facts in order to determine the appropriate response."
Allahpundit is keeping us updated.
Debka Via Allahpundit at Hot Air : However, the law has not been finally enacted, and speakers in the majlis debate proposed that non-Muslim minorities be made to wear distinctive clothes, yellow being the preferred color for Jews.So the law is only to further regulate the dress of Muslims with proposals to designate Jews and other minorities. That is rather oppressive in itself for Muslims subject to this “Islamic State Dress Codeâ€. But I guess if Iran oppresses it’s own people that’s just OK. Imagine if our president asked for a strict conservative Christian national Dress code? Also it seems if Muslims are “in uniform†it gets pretty easy to tell who “the others†are. Including Muslims who resist this mandate. The fact that this proposal was even made speaks volumes.The bill in question aims primarily at countering the revolt against black Muslim dress†as the hot summer approaches and Iranians – especially women - take to light clothing. At the end of the majlis debate, the final draft will be put to the vote; with or without the proposed discriminatory clauses remains to be seen.

In exchange for their lives and religious identity, the jews and christians agreed to an archaine set of segregation laws, commonly known as the "Pact of Omar." One of the provisions was that they had to wear a yellow sash in public known as the zunar. Later in the 9th century, it was later changed to a yellow star of david, and a yellow cross.
Some believe that Hitler's friend, the grand mufti Al-Husseini of Jerusalem in the 1930's gave him the idea. Also, don't you remember how the Taliban used to do this to hindus in Afghanistan? I'm suprised the current rule in Iran didn't come into effect earlier!

The Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and Atheists in Iran must have done something really terrible to inspire such hate.
Maybe if they just agonize over what it is that they did, apologize profusely, then stop doing it, they can make peace with the people they have antagonized.

Ain't that convenient. Democrats can lobby for everything from rights for Gitmo detainees, gay marriage, the right to have an abortion, to environmental issues. But persecution of Jews and Christians? Hey, there's certainly nothing they could do there. Nuh uh. Sorry.

when you offer up silly comments like that you demonstrate your intellectual dishonesty. And if you have no credibility, why even bother commenting at all. How can Liberals be the "intellectuals" if you can't even offer up intellectually honest and credible argumentation. Sometimes you sound no better than middle schoolers in your comments.

Catnip: I hope it isn't true, but you have to admit it's not hard to believe with the new wave of Iranian nationalism and the Iranian Parliament's rescinding of any advances made during the last Presidency. Before Ahmadinejad took office many women were wearing western clothes and the scarves covering their hair were getting smaller and smaller. Now they've gone backwards and pushed women back to wearing the hijab. There have been more instances of women being beaten in the street by police, Taliban style, for showing an arm or an ankle. things certtainly aren't getting better there. They're getting worse.

I'm extremely concerned about the fate of all people in Iran and the rantings of their president, who is clearly unstable. This is a very sensitive situation that must be treated with caution and I think the west must proceed with as much transparency as possible so that we are able to determine the best course of action to help the Iranian people.

if the story were true the Libs would find some way to justify it or wrack their brains trying to find some equivalency here in the West or Israel. Lucky for them it's probably fraudulent so they don't have to twist themselves into knots like they do for so many other despicable things coming out of that part of the world.

Didn't the 9-11 commission note that we had a hard time beleiving people who said they were going to do certain things might actually act on their threats?
All of these people trying to do in-depth analysis on statements coming from Iran might be missing the point -- Perhaps they mean exactly what they say.

Here's some info that may help. See these two posts on my site. See the caveat from Kenneth Timmerman re Mr. Kermanian may have a conflict of interest.
Also I caught Dr. Zin catching a plane by phone and he gave me some info to pass on.

Update III:
Kenneth Timmerman just posted these updates to his original post:
UPI reported from Tehran that the Majles passed the law this week."This law recalls the Holocaust immediately to mind when Jews were forced to wear distinctive yellow Stars of David on their clothes," said American Jewish Congress Executive Director Neil Goldstein.
[...]
Sam Kermanian, of the Iranian Jewish Federation in Los Angeles, urged Jewish activists to caution in a mass email today. "So far the two reports we managed to obtain from our own independent sources from inside the country suggest that the original reports are false," he wrote. "Both Mr. Morris Motamed the Jewish member of the Iranian Parliament and Mr Parviz Yeshaya the former head of the community have strongly denied the reports."
Stay tuned....
Note: Mr. Kermanian has acknowledged to FDI that he currently does business in Tehran, but says that he has received a "waiver" from the Treasury Department to sanction his commercial activities.
www.iran.org
*****
Dr. Zin is on this story and will updating shortly
RBT just got off the phone with Dr. Zin of Regime Change Iran who was about to board a plane to return home from DC. He said he will be posting further on this story when he gets back home.
Dr. Zin said he first learned of this in 2004. Dr. Zin' sources have said until recently this has been in the context of a discussion on an Islamic appropriate dress code. The last he heard was it was't in writing but was making it's way through the lower levels of what serves as the Irainian legislative process. [ed note: A stacked deck :--)]
Dr. Zin said the President Ahmadinejad is in support of this dress code. Dr. Zin doesn't know if there is enough agreement to pass and implement it.
Stay tuned as Kenneth Timmerman said . . .

"So if there is a proper Mulsim uniform are non muslims forbidden/not required to wear the same or different. Same general effect. You know who is who just by looking."
Good point, perhaps the cloth marking each individual faith is an exaggeration of the original story, but like you said, if the "Muslim uniform" part of the story is true, it would have the same effect as it is unlikely the non-Muslims would be wearing it. I guess we'll see as more details emerge.
It too, is important that we verify these details, as we do not want to set a bad precedent.

That's blogging you never know when you post just what a story is going to do. I found this on a MSM source. I do my best to use MSM sources. Af far as how blogs work one this started gaining exposure the giant auto research team was on the case. On or two people can find stuff. Post it and within 24 hourse enough informations was dug up on it. You win a few you loose a few. I'd rather that we did post it and find out what is really going on.
I think overall the blogs did well considering it's a bunch of "citzen jouralists" discussing. We are quick and sometimes too quick It happens on blogs two minutes is too late. I've picked up three stories off MSM sites int eh last month that blogs played a role in finding the truth. It takes a few hours but bloggers will figure it out.
As a single person I can do a bit of research or call attention to a story. After that a bunch more peole put in thier two cents worth and you have somthing. I'm not upset with the liberals for exposing the parts that were questionable. I'm glad they did. Otherwise I would be misled. Both sides have the same problem. The Rove issue comes to mind. They wanted Rove so bad tehy jumped the gun a bit. But seems by now thye have corrected. I saw the guy post about his mistake yesterday. No problem with it. He tried and that's all you can do.

TEHRAN, Iran -
Iran's president mocked a package of incentives to suspend uranium enrichment, saying Wednesday they were like giving up gold for chocolate — defiance that appeared certain to complicate U.S. efforts to curb Tehran's nuclear ambitions."Do you think you are dealing with a 4-year-old child to whom you can give some walnuts and chocolates and get gold from him?" President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked derisively.
Feel free to give your own answer to Mahmoud's question. Be sure it's derisive.

I can't yet entirely agree, Josh. I agree he's dangerous, and keeping a close eye is definitely needed. But, we don't want to rush into any aggressive aspects until we have no other choices. Unfortunately, I think that in a few months we (US, Israel, EU, etc...) will not have any reasonable diplomatic solutions left.
We can't rush into attacks, but we MUST keep them a viable option...expect the best, but prepare for the worst.

Unfortunately, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has the final word on matters of state and he disagrees.
From ArabNews.com:
"Iran's supreme leader has instructed the government to consider the religious leaders' views and reverse its decision (on letting women into stadiums)," government spokesman Gholamhossein Elham told a news conference. "The government will act based on this instruction," he said.Therefore, despite all his media-hogging bluster and belligerent declarations, Ahmadinejad is nothing more than a marionette for Ali Khamenei. Of course, a prudent observer is not surprised.

I'm confused.
Does this story suggest that Ahmadinejad's power is circumscribed, and therefore his rants about wiping Israel from the pages of history are not to be taken seriously?
Or do they indicate that, at the end of the day, Ahmadinejad's actions must be approved by Khamenei, in which case, the absence of correctives to his comments means that he, in fact, speaks for Khamenei and company when he threatens Israel (and talks about nukes, etc.)?

I want to clear a few things up about the letter that I sent to President George Bush and his Jewish-Zionist puppeteers in the government. I told him that we have no intentions of blowing up anyone with our new nuclear program, as long as these people agree to be Muslims, and follow the exact form of Islam that I follow without any deviation. I am glad to clear that up. As you can now read yourself, I do not have anything against anyone, except Barry Bonds. The Iranian people hate steroid abusing Imperialists who should not use human growth hormone either but only pistachios. We hate Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire. Additionally, I now issue fatwas against the imperialist cheaters Rafael Palmiero and Jason Giambi as well as McGwire and Bonds. The 12th Imam has told me that Roger Clemens cheated. I issue fatwa against Roger Clemens.
OK, I am done.

Human Events Online : Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah of Iran, told the editors of HUMAN EVENTS last week that in the next two to three months he hopes to finalize the organization of a movement aimed at overthrowing the Islamic regime in Tehran and replacing it with a democratic government.I was skeptical but labor unrest in Iran was reported on the very same day this interview was released. I think it’s an avenue worth supporting. Of course the problem is the American imperialism/meddling perception(might as well bring it up they will). But we can work from within. If this man is correct in that support for the Mullahs is as superficial as he claims. In fact get this man in and Iran can build all the reactors its wants because the threat of misuse is removed.He believes the cause is urgent because of the prospect that Iran may soon develop a nuclear weapon or the U.S. may use military force to preempt that. He hopes to offer a way out of this dilemma: a revolution sparked by massive civil disobedience in which the masses in the streets are backed by elements of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Pahlavi, who lives in exile in the United States, said he has been in contact with elements of the Revolutionary Guard that would be willing to play such a role, and activists who could help spark the civil disobedience.
He also said that the U.S. and other governments can help by imposing “smart sanctions†on the leaders of Iranian regime, but he categorically opposes U.S. military intervention...
...You think you can exploit this to turn some elements of the Revolutionary Guards against the regime?
Yes, for a number of reasons. Because like in any totalitarian system, they know that at the end they’ll fall. The question is, how do they negotiate their exit strategy? No. 2 is because a lot of their families are not as wealthy as we think. There are some preferred ones, but many are still having to make ends meet. We have ranked officers who have to drive taxicabs at three o’clock in the morning, as a major or colonel returning from base, because they don’t have enough money to pay the rent. The disenchantment is there.
So what you see happening is a general strike, people going into the streets, refusing to work, calling for the overthrow of the regime, and then their being backed—?
Sustained. Sustained.
And then being sustained by significant elements of the Revolutionary Guards who say, “You’re gone�
And I’m talking about a blitzkrieg of media supporting, like the BBC did before the revolution, which was practically announcing the night before where there would be a demonstration the next day. This is not myth, it is fact.
Are you in contact with some of the commanders of these [elements]?
Absolutely. Absolutely. And in fact, they keep on saying that we are being under-utilized, we have a role to play, we know the time for it, but we cannot just take the initiative. They are in No Man’s Land. You have to understand.

Regime change is going to be our best hope however, It is doubtful a Military strike will occur whilst we have troops in Iraq, and seeing comments from Israel's new President, he comes across weak, and unlikely to initiate any type of Military attack first.
Iran is daring America, and Israel to knock the chip off it's shoulder, with threats of state sponsored terrorism against Israeli and American citizens, challenging history of the Holocaust, making genocidal threats of wiping out Israel, sending Military supplies into Iraq and making saber-rattling demands and/or statements daily. You have to wonder what they have to gain by inviting an attack.
Iran was often thought to be the "500lb Gorilla" of the Middle-east and I believe it is trying to toughen it's grip in the region by appearing to be a much tougher opponent that it is, think of it in the terms of the school bully, who is considered tough, and everyday another kid calls his Mom names, or pisses in his gym-bag, the longer the Bully doesn't retaliate the weaker he appears to be.
You do not have to be a genius to figure out that America is not looking to expand conflict in the arena, with the world opinion of the U.S and Israel both being taunt right now, and the medias constant running of negative stories in regards to Gas prices (note then Iran threatens to affect Gas prices) unfavorable polls of the President and the War, Iran feels in a position of power because it's gambling on inaction on the parts of both America and Israel due to the War, and world opinion and oil prices and the logistics involved in expanding the War to Iran.
Iran is taking quite a gamble, back to the school bully scenario, imagine that the other kid is emboldened by the threat of expulsion of the bully if he is involved in violence, what if the bully thinks f*ck it and knocks him out anyway?
wishful thinking maybe.

50% of Iranian are too young to remember Pahlavi and those who do, are not so thrilled with the come back of the old totalitarian system. Let them deal with existing one.

I don't think he is a good first choice but I'm not aware of many others.

They have oil, and ocean front views. We can make them the 51st state, and it will be a win, win for both sides. Why not? If we have reason to invade Iraq, we have more reason to invade Mexico.
Just think, in Mexico the majority of people there want to build schools, water treatment plants, roads, railroads, oil wells, and don't have a problem working. They pray to the same G-d most Americans pray to also.

Bloomberg :``You made Europe unsafe for Jews,'' he said at a press conference. ``Allow them to go back to their own fatherlands,'' he said in a speech about the consequences of World War Two, according to a translation carried live by Bloomberg Television. ``You have created a problem which you should solve yourself.'' He said the creation of Israel had resulted in the persecution of the Palestinian people.More of Hitlers new apprentice here at Yahoo News :
Some 60 years have passed since the end of World War II. Why should the people of Germany and Palestine pay now for a war in which the current generation was not involved?" Ahmadinejad said at a news conference.He sounds more like Hitler every day."We say that this fake regime (Israel) cannot not logically continue to live," he said.

Will Ahmadinejad and the Arabs take back all the jews and their descendants who got kicked out of middle eastern countries? Of course not. Obviously, his statement was directed at the Arab mob and Western Liberals ignorant of history who think he makes perfect sense.

Perhaps, on the way to work one day soon, the crazy stupid moon god worshipping leader of Iran gets a round to the head, and talks in person to the 12th Imam in HELL.
