Right Back At You, Iran.

I'm starting to get really pissed off about the 'Iran' crisis and the issue of Islam in general. I'm going to apologize in advance; my emotions are running high on this topic, and there's going to be some "language."

Day after day, it seems like all that gets reported in the media is Adolf Ahmadinejad blowing off at the mouth with more of his Islamofascist crap, or some blowhard 'cleric' (read as: terrorist) issues a 'fatwa' in the name of Islam justifying the murder of their infidel enemies (read as: non-muslim civilians) although the non-muslim part itself seems to have been granted some sort of a waiver.

Apparently, due to a lack of suitable entertainment, all there is to do for fun in the middle east is protest the West, threaten Israel, blow shit up and kill innocent people in innovative and grotesque ways. To top it off, after these acts take place, we're told that we just don't understand Islam. It's a religion of peace. It's been hijacked (appropriate term, eh?) by extremists. Well, I'm calling bullshit on this once and for all.

Depending on who you believe (and this is somewhat of an issue given that your choices are Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Mohammad Ali Samadi (the head of Iran's 'suicide forces') Iran has anywhere from 25,000 to 50,o00 trained and willing suicide operatives ready to strike Western interests at home and abroad.

Samadi said Israel is a target of the group along with the US and European Union countries where the group has allegedly recruited militants. "We have brothers who are ready to sacrifice their lives for the triumph of Islam in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and also the United States..."

What these ignorant brainwashed morons don't realize is that we also have brothers and sisters ready to sacrifice their lives for the triumph of freedom and civilization over their backward, stone age ideology. And we have nukes; but I digress.

"...aspiring organisation members must fill in forms asking them, among other things, which enemy they want to fight against. The options ain the form are three: "Americans who desacrated the sites of Shiite Islam occupying Iraq and Afghanistan"; "Jews who occupy Jerusalem"; and the "British who gave protection to [Indian writer] Salman Rushdie" against whom Iranian clerics have issued a fatwa for his 1988 book Satanic Verses.

However, Samadi said his group is thinking to "widen the list" of targets in the membership forms and include the Netherlands, Italy and France.

"We have learnt that they want to make a follow up to the trash movie 'Submission'," by Theo Van Gogh, who was killed in 2004 by a Dutch-Moroccan Islamic militant, he said. Submission highlighted the repression of women in some Islamic cultures.

France will reportedly be a target "for greatly offending Islam after it prohibited to young women to go to school with the hijab."

Italy was included in the potential list of new entries for granting political asylum in March to an Afghan man who risked the death penalty for converting to Christianity from Islam.

"Giving political asylum to an idiot who defied Islam is a very serious offense which cannot be ignored," said Samadi. "We will make Italians pay for this offence."

The man who is believed to be the group's strategist is Hassan Abbasi, a professor at the University Imam Hossein in Tehran and an advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Essentially this is state-condoned, if not directly sponsored threats of terrorist attacks directed against the United States and most of our allies, including, of course, Israel. ('Radical' Muslims have made it abundantly clear that they really, really, REALLY don't like Jews. They also don't like getting compared to Nazis, but that's just tough shit, considering that's pretty much what their rhetoric amounts to.)

There's only so much of this two-faced juvenility the world can take before it stands up and collectively bitch-slaps these people back to the stone-age they seem to hold so dear.
