Jordanian professor hopes for nuclear suicide bombers

Jordanian university lecturer Dr. Ibrahim 'Alloush (Al-Jazeera TV, May 13, 2008 via MEMRI):

Whoever managed to get a martyrdom-seeker into Dimona armed with conventional explosives should consider...

how to get martyrdom-seekers into Dimona and elsewhere armed with non-conventional explosives and perhaps even small nuclear bombs. We should think in this direction.

The 'revisionist' history site IHR (featuring such luminary crackpots as David Irving) offers the following biography of "Doctor" Alloush.

Ibrahim Alloush is a journalist and university lecturer in Amman, Jordan. A regular columnist for the weekly Jordanian newspaper Assabeel, he is active in the Jordanian Writers and in the Association against Zionism and Racism (AZAR). He is also editor of the Free Arab Voice web site. Dr. Alloush lived for thirteen years in the United States. He earned graduate degrees at Ohio University and Oklahoma State University, where he earned a doctorate in economics. In his student days in America, he supported himself partly by "flipping burgers, mopping floors, and delivering pizza."

These days, Alloush appears to support himself by teaching alternative history:

It should be made clear then that several hundred thousand Jews did die in the Second World War, along with tens of millions of others; that there was no Nazi policy to exterminate the Jews, but rather one of deportation, including deportation to Palestine; and that there were no gas chambers, but instead crematoria, used to incinerate the bodies of those, of all nationalities and religions, who died from all causes, but chiefly disease.

In addition, Alloush appears to be affiliated with "The Adelaide Institute," a revisionist organization that, among other things, helped facilitate Iran's 2006 'Holocaust Conference'.

Featured on the marketing page for the conference: none other than useful idiot Diane Sawyer interviewing a modern-day Hitler.

It all neatly ties together: prayers for a nuclear holocaust in Israel, unchecked immigration, holocaust revisionism, a modern-day Hitler, and a complicit mainstream media.

Ministry of Progressive Propaganda (the AP) strikes again

An AP report on Thursday stated that Iraqi religious leader Ayatollah Ali Sistani was "quietly issuing religious edicts declaring that armed resistance against U.S.-led foreign troops was permissible." The story struck many observers as exceedingly odd and utterly out of character with the moderate cleric's prior statements.

Nibras Kazimi has met Sistani and doubted the AP's claims. Then he found an Iraqi article that completely shreds the AP's bogus report:

...Mr. Ali al-Sistani in Najaf today, Friday, blasted some news sites and denied that op-Sistani "is preparing to issue a fatwa calling for armed resistance against occupation".

The source, who asked to remain anonymous, in an interview with "Newsmatik", "There is no truth to this irresponsible rumors in whole or even in part... Iraq is not ready for jihad or a military confrontation for the time being, after the devastation left by the great wars of the former regime."

Iraq's mainstream press also picked up the gauntlet:

A close source to grand ayatollah Ali Sistani's office on Friday denied news agencies' reports the Shiite cleric issued a fatwa permiting taking up weapons to drive the foreign occupation forces out of Iraq.

"The reports of issuing fatwa by the Shiite cleric Sistani permiting taking up arms to drive foreign troops out of Iraq were baseless".

Gateway Pundit, who originally reported this story, surmised the AP's agenda.

The AP published this story based on anonymous sources in Iraq... They did manage to divert attention away from the good news that General Petraeus shared with Congress yesterday.

Actually, it's hard to discern whether the AP's tactics were diversionary... or simply another of its daily propaganda reports that help prop up anti-American terrorists.

That's why I've helpfully created the AP's new logo.

The UN's most important mission

LGF:

United Nations Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance Doudou Diène has another mission on his visit to the United States, in addition to investigating contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance in the US Presidential election.

...Diène will also be looking into the dreaded scourge of “Islamophobia.” And he’ll have plenty of help from the usual merchants of victimhood.

The UN could have chosen from several missions:

The slaughter, rape and starvation of hundreds of thousands of innocents in Darfur.

Ongoing plagues, unrest and starvation in Somalia.

A spate of chaos, violence, radical extremism and rocket attacks against innocents in Hamas-controlled Gaza as Egypt keeps its border sealed to keep its Palestinian brothers out.

A continued humanitarian disaster in Myanmar as its fascist government prevents widespread aid operations from entering the country.

Thousands of displaced refugees in South Africa as immigrants flee ongoing violence due to rampant unemployment.

But those are trivial concerns when compared to the continued racism, discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance related to the U.S. Presidential election.

I think we can all give thanks that the United Nations and its Special Rapporteur -- Doudou Diène -- are on the case.

Dunkin Donuts hearts terror!

Nothing says marketing like the universal appeal of a suicide bomber!

Dunkin Donuts' latest campaign targets its core demographic of religious extremists. With their models wearing kaffiyehs -- the symbol of Palestinian terrorism -- these guys aren't afraid to strap on a suicide belt and detonate in it a Sbarro Pizzeria (or Dunkin Donuts) filled with kids!





Now that's marketing!

Schumer's Math: $25 = 1 cent

Question: when does $25 equal 1 cent?
Answer: when Charles Schumer is using his official Democrat Party Calculator™

Charles Schumer, May 13 2008:

If Saudi Arabia were to increase its production by 1 million barrels per day that translates to a reduction of 20 percent to 25 percent in the world price of crude oil, and crude oil prices could fall by more than $25 dollar per barrel from its current level of $126 per barrel. In turn, that would lower the price of gasoline between 13 percent and 17 percent, or by more than 62 cents off the expected summer regular-grade price - offering much needed relief to struggling families.

Charles Schumer, May 6 2008:

ANWR [the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge] wouldn’t produce a drop of oil in 10 years, and its estimated that if they drilled in ANWR in twenty years it would reduce the price one penny.

1 million barrels a day is precisely the amount of oil that experts believe we would have been pumping today through the Alyeska pipeline had Bill Clinton not vetoed drilling in 1995.

When it comes to partisan hackery, Charles Schumer is truly without peer. Is he really the best that New York can do?

  Hi.

  Hello.

 

 

  Well, it's nice to finally meet you...

  Same here.

  So... how 'bout them Cubs?

  28 and 18! Zambrano's been having a hell of a year!

  Indeed. But enough pleasantries, I'd --

  No, we're not disbanding our nuclear program.

  What if we gave up 40% of Israel?

  How about 100% -- and we keep our nukes?

  You drive a hard bargain. What say you to... 50% of Israel and some F-16s?

  F-16s... uhm, no.

  My final offer: 60% of Israel, including Jerusalem. And a fully equipped aircraft carrier.

  Your voice... so smooth, so debonair... hmmm... I feel a concession coming on.

  Excellent!

  **Whew** I'm sorry, it wasn't a concession -- just gas. I've been diagnosed with problem flatulence.

  Painful affliction.

  I'll say. Anyhoo... look, here's the deal. We'll promise to stop our nuclear program in exchange for 95% of Israel, including Jerusalem. And a fully equipped aircraft carrier. As long as there are no nuclear inspectors. You can trust us -- our word is bond!

  Done! Oh, one other thing...

  Could you throw in $31 million for a... a... friend?

  $31 million? Get me a week of Karl Rove's consulting service and I'll round it up to $40 mill. I've got to run for re-election again.

  Oh, and say hi to Vice President Pelosi for me! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge!
