Ahmadinejad blames US, Israel for shrine attack

Stop the Presses! Ahmadinejad blames the Zionists, of all people, for Sunni violence! From AP, with thanks to Teri:

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and Israel on Thursday for the blowing up of a Shi'ite shrine's golden dome in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers."...

"They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and justice," Ahmadinejad said, referring to the US-led multinational force in Iraq.

Actually, he is totally wrong.

The entire planet is currently under attack by aliens, who jam and spam people's brainwaves, resulting in weird protests, strange behaviour and crazy ideas everywhere.

Time to get the tinfoil hats out!

Great stuff from the man who also says he wants to nuke Israel and will at the same time wipe out their holy of holy's the Dome Of The Rock in Jerusalem.

Whichever bunch of jihadists (Al Qaeda?) blew this up may have got the disruption they wanted pretty cheaply:

53 dead and imminent civil war being talked of.

God is great,God is GOOD,so please God take them all to heaven /hell wherever you want.The earth has no use of these ppl.Devoted Muslims phah,killing ,burning,hacking,raping other so called muslims in the name of a phedo leader.Religion of peace,haha killing me.I think Mo is very busy wherever he is hunting for virgins.Stupidity is a virtue .

Darn - messed up the link:

Reuters story: Baghdad toll at 53

Here's another interesting link. Britain's Attorney General Lord Goldsmith has given a speech saying that:

Even those suspected of the most vicious terrorist outrages should be granted the right to trial by an "independent and competent" tribunal

The newspaper reporting this surmises that "His comments may be seized upon by campaigners who have opposed the system of control orders imposed by Home Secretary Charles Clarke on terror suspects who have not been brought to trial."

And, indeed, the BBC reports that Amnesty International is campaigning against Britain's anti-terrorism laws, including the control orders (themselves a watered-down replacement for earlier provisions).

The BBC also reports an arrest under the Prevention of Terrorism Act in Swansea. Explosives experts are at the scene. Civil liberties groups and "human rights lawyers" are doubtless already sharpening their pencils.

Ok, going to repost this comment on this post.

Not too long ago, I read an article at A Daily Briefing on Iran, on a meeting of some sort in Iran, that included statements that essentially said, a number of incidents would/will take place before something major happens. The cartoon incident was looked at as one of them.

Does anybody else here remember this article? I will continue to look for it, but I can't find it at the moment.

I would not be surprised if Iran had their grimy hands on this and that it was a part of their plan.

Ahamdinejad probably threw the grenade himself.


"They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and justice."

He shouldn't use big words he doesn't understand.

And the mooslems once again are fed filthy lies to enhance their religion of peace, no a mooslem would not dare do something like this, what would mo think about it, killing other mooslems at a shrine no less.

If only they had fox news to show them a fair and balanced view.

Oh, you insane little man. I pray that your health holds up so that you may find the strength to continue pointing out, in clear and unambigous terms, just how much you and your kind hate us, to what lengths you will go to destroy us, who your allies are, and mostly, just how unsuitable for inclusion within the civilized family of man you are.

Roll on, little man, roll on.

This guy is just as irrational and dishonest
as the cons, who blame Clinton or Kerry
for everything.

He did it: That's why he points the finger at others...!

Re the Reichstag fire

Ahmadinejad has learned well from Nazi tactics, including blame the Jews, whip up the masses in Cartoon frenzy, set a Reichstag fire to keep things hot. The fire was probably set by agents of the Ahmadinejad regime.

Ahmadinejad and party have imperial ambitions in the region, but so does Russia, so does China, and a nuclear armed Arian Nation seeking Empire is not in their interests. This regime is doomed unless they get the bomb. They know that.

"Hold onto your hats, we're in for a bumpy ride." There is no way this regime is going to be allowed to get nuclear weapons.

George~ you forgot our Worst President of All Time, Jimmy Carter. He gave us Iran as it stands today.

I just knew they would blame the JEWS and the USA sooner or later. They can't pretend to be victims unless there is someone to blame.

Time to bring up a quote by Winston Churchill:

"“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”"

Suddenly I saw the light! Ahmadinejad is a zionist plot! He was put there to make all the poor peaceful, moderate muslims of the world look like depraved zombies.

This is offtopic, but notice yet another sign of BBC pro-Palestinian bias:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4743244.stm

'"Given that Jordan is 80% Palestinian, we might - heaven forbid - reach a situation in which Abdullah is the last Hashemite king," he said.

Jordan has a large population of citizens of Palestinian origin who left homes in what is now Israel and the occupied territories, although few observers put the percentage as high as Gen Naveh. '

So now I know that 80% of Jordan's population are "guests" and "refugees". Why doesn't anyone place a law suit on this sorry excuse for journalism?

the arab muslim party line is getting real stale for most of the West! l would think the BBC would be the last to stand up for this crap! but prol not!

A mate of Moqtadr al Sadr (obviously in league with Ahmadinejad) was allowed to peddle this nonsense on the BBC's flagship Today programme this morning - with just a mild mutter of 'well we'll let the listeners decide whether they believe this is true' from James Naughtie. But Sadr did limit himself to saying it was the Americans who blew up the mosque without mentioning the Joos - no doubt restraining himself for his BBC audience. Apropos blaming the Zionist entity, I've always loved Conor Cruise O'Brien's anecdote about a session of the UN's General Assembly when Adlai Stephenson was delivering a particularly boring speech about the Bay of Pigs and Castro. At one point Stephenson with a slip of the tongue said "Fidel Castro has circumcised the freedoms of the Catholics of Cuba", and Gideon Rafael, the Israeli delegate sitting next to Conor Cruise raised his eyes and said "I always knew that WE should be blamed for this, sooner or later."

"A mate of Moqtadr al Sadr (obviously in league with Ahmadinejad) was allowed to peddle this nonsense on the BBC's flagship Today programme this morning "

And to think that that thousands of soldiers have died and the amercian tax payers have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to bring this worthless crap to power.

Bush condems the evil attack on the Golden Mosque and extols the voices of reason and talks about the path to Democracy and wants again actually said we will rebuild this Mosque! There I feel better. He's a jerk. We have so much need in the US, so many read issues to address abroad, and he's worried about the UAE and the rebuilding of a Mosque. He should put his money where his mouth is and replace his secret service with the UAE. Mr. President smartie pants . . . it is ok for a Brittish company to help with our ports, it isn't for an Arab country. This is the real world, not Orwell there is are 'friends' like the Saudis and the UAE and friends like Tony Blair. Am I completely stupid, or is there a difference?

The very moment that I heard about this mosque being blown up; I said it will be just a matter of time before someone blames the US.

If by chance they have arrested the culprits who are most likely Al-Qaeda, of Sunni operatives they should give it full media attention.

One important reason is to reduce attacks on the coalition troops from those who may buy into Ahmadinejad's stories.

Re: Time to bring up a quote by Winston Churchill: Posted by: thewatcher at 8:24 AM-

The Bonfire of the Burkas?

I agree with Churchill-but Islam may be in more danger than they would care to think.

The science and the Industrial Revolution that emanated from the West (especially in the past 200 years) has undermined religious faith in the West, and a civilization does die as its faith dies, but "God writes straight with crooked lines," and science may well lead the West back to an awe of God and a powerful rebirth of Christian faith.

If you believe in Divine Providence (and I do), the transport and communication revolutions of the past 100 years are God's will. These revolutions challenge Islam. The revolution of transport and commnication threatens Islam because thought can no longer be stopped at a border anywhere.

Well, it seems I've been wrong a long time. I long thought that if the USA just stayed out of Muslim messes, the Muslims would be too busy wreaking havoc on each other to wreak havoc on us. Well, it now seems that even when the USA is occupying Muslim turf, the Muslims are quick to kill each other.

Only Taliban/Al Qaeda blow up works of art and history in their own lands. So it is the work of Al Qaeda who did this just like the Taliban.

Abby..... I'm with you it's al qaeda. I thought that when I was reading the story on yahoo. From their POV the move makes much sense.

As for the iran's thug in chief.. everything that happens or goes wrong in muslim affairs is the fault of the US or the Jews. It's a pity he was't drowned at birth.

Only the Muslims won't see that this was an inside job.

They want an excuse to attack the Sunnis to get them to retaliate then they will wipe them out and put them in servitude.

Ahmadinejad will then effectively have control of Iraq.

Iran has been smuggling arms and terrorists across the border ever since the invasion to attack the British forces in the south and the US in the rest of Iraq.

Iran needs sorting out good and proper before they cause a widespread war in the Middle East.

Of course Bliar will never be brave enough to drop a few megatons to avoid even more deaths.

"He did it: That's why he points the finger at others...!"

Hey sheik,
Had to laugh because while reading your post,

"He who smelt it, dealt it!"

immediately popped into my head!

Now the Islamic world is buying into the pushed forward conspiracy that the US. and Jews are behind this bombing of the Golden dome mosque. Numerous articles coming out of the middle east are promoting this latest of many provocations to continiously work up muslims around the world.

Once again there needs to be shown a definite smoking gun as to who the actual perpetrators where of this attack. It appears that the Iraqi shias are convinced that it was Sunnis' that committed this attack, but the word needs to get out in the strongest way to prevent the civil war which could lead to more severe instability in Iraq.Of course this is what the insurgency wants and has always worked for from the beginning.

From Marine barracks in Lebanon,the Khobar towers, the Embassies in Africa,the USS Cole,The lockerbie 747 bombing,92"twin tower attack, 9-11attack on the twin towers and thePentagon ,the trains in Spain, and the British subway bombing,the fervor of developing provocations to create this clash of civilizations is going to continue to grow and we must be prepared for many more that will be coming at us.

Where are all of the proponents of Islam that frequent this website on this issue? Naseem, Karim, Defender of Islam, where are you? Your silence is deafening, and I'm calling you out!
Islam is a "religion of peace" huh? Your fellow Muslims must have gotten tried of burning Christian churches and have now turned to blowing up mosques. The bombing of this Iraqi mosque shows that you Muslims can't even live peacefully among yourselves. Guess if you can't "live in peace, then you'll blow each other to pieces!"
And now Iran's "Terrorist in Chief" wants to blame Israel. Ahamdinejad just can't seem to make up his mind about the Israelis. Or is it the mullahs that are pulling his strings, that can't make up their minds? Either way, it's the Muslims blaming someone else for the problems in Islam instead of looking in the mirror. Muslims killing other Muslims and placing the blame on anyone but themselves. Only children act like that.
CHILDREN!!!

Only Taliban/Al Qaeda blow up works of art and history in their own lands. So it is the work of Al Qaeda who did this just like the Taliban.

I don't know about that, Abby. I don't usually cotton to conspiracy theories, but I'm with the "he who smelt it, dealt it" school of thought for a few reasons:

1. The blogosphere was buzzing about a month or so ago with stories of a chastened Zarqawi who was told to focus on 'occupiers only" because he was enraging Sunni tribespeople by wanton acts of violence against Sunni and Shia alike. (There is far more intermarriage between the sects than the mainstream media would be aware of.)

2. Ahmadinejad would have no shortage of reasons to want to ignite passions in Iraq, from simply trying to refocus global attention away from his nuclear project to rancour at home and in the ex-pat Iranian community abroad vis a vis his repressive, financially incompetent theorcracy and looking to shore up support across the border in Iraq as the saviour of the Shia nation.

3. The last, and most important thought I have is that the mad milenialist not only wants to hasten the appearance of the Mahdi, he wants it to happen in Iran. The shrine at Samara and another shrine in Hilla that was also destroyed were deemed likelier locations, so he may just be looking to put the competition out of the running.

I'm not normally given to conspiracy theories, but we are talking about a corner of the world where that's the ONLY way they think. All that stuff about the Protocols of Zion, etc., is just classic projecting.

Isn’t this the same mosque that the US took great pains not to "desecrate" (shoot back)?

Why do we even bother to try to accomodate these people? They perceive it as a weakness.

This affront is only building momentum. Friday prayers aftermath will give an indication which way these tigers will jump. The Kurds have the right idea.

When they can't find a Church or a Synogogue to burn and there are no Renaults or Citroens to be found, they turn on each other like the rabid dogs they are. Religion of Peace! HaHaHaHaHa! ROFLMAO!

These people, and I use the term loosely, are neanderthals. They act no different than they did when their murdering child molesting prophet was doing Aisha 1500 years ago. They haven't matured into modern times and never will. Democracy will never work in an Islamic society.
Let's pack our men and women up, ship em home where they belong and let the cesspool implode.
Too bad we can't start to protect our own borders against these animals. Just read Michelle Malkin's book, Invasion....It will all come clear what we need to do. Screw the Middle East.

ISLAM = "submission"

Islam is evil to the core, and if you haven't already noticed; Islam by definition means: SUBMISSION.

A little history on Muhammad and Islam from John Hagee's book: JERUSALEM COUNTDOWN....

"Many Arabs are Islamic fundamentalists, and they believe that Muhammad is the true prophet of Allah. Their Quran is the absolute truth, and it supercedes the Bible - and Muhammad supercedes Christ. An infidel (a Christian or Jew) has one choice and only one in the Islamic faith - convert or be killed."

"Muhammad's life can be divided into two parts - the tolerant years in Mecca, and the aggressive years in Medina. The Quran reflects those two parts, and that is why at times someone will point out a teaching in the Quran that seems to indicate that Islam teaches its adherents to live at peace with their enemies. When Muhammad began to preach his revelations from Allah to the people, he believed that a peaceful religion was a good strategy for attracting people, especially the Jewish people, to the teachings of Islam."

"When Muhammad saw that his attempts to win over the Jews through peaceful coexistence were not successful, he "launched a new strategy: a strategy based on power. This is when he declared jihad (holy war) and went out to convert nonbelievers to Islam by the sword." Muslims today are taught to interrupt the Quran through a principle of progressive revelation known as 'nasikh'. Any contradiction in the Quran is solved by using the newest revelation. If anyone denies the continuing revelation of Allah to Muhammad, they are denying Islam itself."

"We have arrived at a defining moment, when truth could conquer deception if the world would recognize that the Islamic terrorists are not 'fanatics' - but 'devout followers of Muhammad' who are following his example and doing what their Islamic Bible teaches them to do."

Let me share two more things from Hagee's book, or should I say from the Quran, which are mentioned in his book....

1: "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem (of war)."
Quran/Surah 9:5

2: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter."
Quran/Surah 5:33

It's interesting how Jesus said we are to "love our enemies", but Muhammad said to "kill them". Gee....it's an easy choice for me as to who I want to follow!!

IF GERMANS USE THEIR LAWS IN THIS WAY THEN THERE IS HOPE!
I THINK THEY SHOULD KEEP A LID ON IT UNTIL THERE IS A STATE VISIT BY HIM.
Iran leader faces Holocaust case

Germany has condemned Mr Ahmadinejad's remarks
An Israeli lawyer, Ervin Shahar, says he has asked Germany to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with denying the Holocaust.
Mr Ahmadinejad was widely criticised when he said last year that the Holocaust was a "myth" and that Israel should be "wiped off the map".

Germany passed a law in 1993 forbidding Holocaust denial. It is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II.

Mr Shahar said he wanted the German federal prosecutors' office to take the issue before the constitutional court in the hope that international arrest warrants would be issued against Mr Ahmadinejad.

Correspondents say prosecutors will have to consider whether Germany has jurisdiction and whether President Ahmadinejad enjoys immunity.

International case

"I'm awaiting a response about whether they will file charges but I don't know how long it will take," Mr Shahar told the Reuters news agency.

The crime as described is directly linked to Germany, committed among others against German nationals of Jewish descent

Ervin Shahar

"It doesn't take days but several months."

On Monday, British historian David Irving was found guilty in Austria of denying the Holocaust and sentenced to three years in prison.

He had pleaded guilty to the charge, based on a speech and interview he gave in Austria in 1989.

Although Mr Ahmadinejad did not deny the Holocaust on German soil, another law passed in 2005 permits the filing of international cases in German courts.

Mr Shahar hopes the case might result in international warrants for Mr Ahmadinejad's arrest, thus preventing the president from entering the US or Europe.

The lawyer believes Germany is the best country in which to file the suit, because it is the "most influential European state" and because the country is directly linked to the case.

The prosecutors' office in Karlsruhe has not yet commented.

Those dumb 'Jews'!

They forgot to paint the usual 'Stars of David' on the side of the blown-up mosque to make sure everyone knew who really did it!

I quess Zarqawi's boys (in Iraqi security forces uniforms, reportedly) forgot the 'highway stripe yellow' spray cans among their gym bags full of semtex.

Drat!

Or, was what they really said:

"Get Mahmoud on the cell phone, quick!"?

The implication being made here is that all we Americans have time for is making such self-centered and psychotic b*st*rds like these mad. They have a nerve.

Silly man, the Americans would have told you in advance that they were going to do it, it's not like you could DO anything about it. Of course, with advance notice you could have packed it full of women and children, your favorite political cannon fodder.

OT, but something that becomes more evident daily: When a Christian or Jew is forced to kill, they are regretful to their maker, and ashamed that they have acted against his will. They do not consider killing an act taken on in behalf of their god. The Muslims are the exact opposite. They are acting on behalf of their god and are proud of it as if his will had been channeled through them. Lovely thought, eh? They boast to their god that they act for him, that his will has been forwarded by them. What barbaric insolence and arrogance. We have regret, they don't, they are given a pass. Disgusting.

Imagine that, a Moslem laying blame. Say, didn't the Holy Prophet Mohammed blame his mass murder at Banu Qurayza on the Jews because they supposedly screwed him by violating an unwritten treaty?

President Mahmoud is only doing his Sunnah. A good Moslem is a whining excuse-making Moslem, and President Mahmoud is a great Moslem.

SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT SWT

Sure I chopped hundreds of heads off and took all their gold and property. But I had no choice, it was their fault!

How can one insult a guy like Mohammed? He is beneath insult.

****DOME OF THE ROCK****

Just wait....before too long a terrorist organization will blow-up the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem and lie about that too - and who do you suppose they'll blame - Israel and the U.S.

Iran has already voiced their abominable intentions, so it's only a matter of time before they'll start a full-scale war, and blame that on "us" as well. Get ready America!

DOME OF THE ROCK: And what is it built on (as are so many other mosques)--a Jewish Temple (or Christian Church or Hindu Temple or Buddhist Temple or Zoorastrian Temple or . . .). Part of the conquer, subjugate and make-disappear MO of the Mo's.

ISLAM: As stated by others above, the Mo's act like children. Actually, they are the SCHOOLYARD BULLY. And as everyone knows, the bully keeps bullying until stood up to. Bullies understand only equal or overpowering force. When will our western leaders learn the lessons that the Israelis learned a long time ago (but seem to have forgotten in the last 30 years)?

QuickHenry: Interesting observation. We create and ask our God to bless our creations. The muslims kill and destroy in the name of their God. We are not the same. And neither are our gods.

Naseem, where in the hell are you? Come here and explain all this business going on with your folks.

Frankly, this is the best news I've had all week. The Religion of Peace is devouring its own. What lovely people!

They are insane. Simply insane.

And the war goes on.

Mr Ape Pig said

Isn’t this the same mosque that the US took great pains not to "desecrate" (shoot back)?

You are correct, sir. It reminds me of how many restrictions the Coalition troops placed on themselves out of "respect" for Islam. Only to see Muslims attack mosques, assassinate clerics, target women and children, and schedule attacks for Ramadan ("the most holy of Islamic months").

It appears we have more respect for their religion than they do themselves.

Chaos, rage, and insanity rule the day.

Is it just me, or is the site having problems? Such as the links on the left not appearing, more recent artocles comments pages not allowing sign-ins, let alone postings. Is the site under some maintenance?

R ukidnme?

Some Bush Admin idiot on CNN reported yesterday that if the US were to leave IRAQ now there would certainly be civil war.
What I don't understand is how that would be a bad thing.

"Now we kill ourselves between sporadic attack on westerners in our country trying to help out, but as soon as you leave we're going to kill the shit out of each other with no one to tell us that we can't!!"

Again,, why is this a problem for the rest of the civilised world (all moozlums excluded)????
