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.
