Following are excerpts from a speech delivered by Iranian President Dr. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, aired on Iranian News Channel (IRINN) on April 24, 2006, brought to us by MEMRI TV:
Iranian President Ahmadinejad: The greatest problem from which humanity suffers today, the main problem facing the countries of the Middle East, is the continuation of the process that took place during World War II.[...]
Although they claim that their hearts bleed for the Jews, during World War II and following it they caused the widespread phenomenon of anti-Judaism in two or three European countries. If you support the Jews - how do you explain this anti-Judaism? Why did you turn Europe in its entirety into a place unsafe for the Jews? Could there possibly be another reason than creating unsafe conditions for the Jews, so they would flee and find shelter in Palestine?
Why do you think they are safe in Palestine? These people, who left their homelands as a result of your pressure and anti-Judaism, went to a country that did not belong to them. Different minorities from different countries came to live side by side, just like pieces of paper joined together with a paper clip. They live in an atmosphere of insecurity on a daily basis. I've said this once, and I'll say it again: Open the gates of this big prison. Allow these people to decide freely, and you will see that they will return to their homelands. Of course, you must first let go of your anti-Judaism. You must let go of it. We believe that just like the rest of mankind, the Jews have the right to live a life of prosperity, freedom, and security. Set them free, and let them return to their homelands.
[...]
Now allow me to say a few words to the people of Germany and Austria. Look at the atmosphere in the world today. See how those who purport to promote human rights and democracy actually want to run the world. Sixty years ago a war took place, and 60 million people were killed by both sides. If we had any power in those days, we would have prevented this carnage. To the best of our ability we would not have allowed such a massacre. Sixty years have passed since that war, and the people of Palestine are still paying the price for a war in which they did not participate. The people of today's Germany are paying reparation for a war in which they themselves did not participate.
My question is the following: Let's assume that 60 years ago a certain regime in Germany started a certain war, and certain crimes were committed. Three generations later - what is the fault of the current German generation that it must be so humiliated? Why can't it play an independent role in international relations? They are constantly being reminded that their parents were criminals. Monuments are built there. All countries build monuments for things that they are proud of, and when tourists come, they show them these monuments. Over there, they build monuments, and every German who passes by a park is constantly reminded: "Look, you are the son of criminals, and you must be humiliated."
[...]
In culture, science, and international politics, Germany should have a prominent standing. But 60 years later, they are still held prisoner by a handful of people, who themselves had planned all the events of that era. Now they say that no one is allowed to talk about or research this event. Why not research it?
[...]
Why should a small handful of people ignite the entire world, merely in order to fill their pockets? Why? We are against this method of running the world, and we say this clearly. I am declaring clearly that I am against the policies of the U.S. and England in running the world. And by the way, I support peace and quiet, and I am a very peace-loving man...
That last bit cleverly appeals to that Martin-Walser vein of self-pity among some Germans, and is not to be ignored. These people are evil, but not fools.
Hitler is said to have planned for all Jews to go to Madagascar. Ahmadinejad wants them to go to Germany & Austria. Wonder how Dhimmi Austria, which has been anti-Israel all along, thinks about this idea? But if the Holocaust didn't happen, why are they in Jerusalem in the first place, instead of Salzburg?
Using the above logic, how about the Jews returning to Yathrib and Sheba, like in biblical times? Why Munich and Salzburg, and not Yathrib & Sheba? After all, that holocaust presumably didn't happen either.
I never thought i would ever hear anybody better at talking out of their a** more than bush,but this dude did it.
>>All countries build monuments for things that they are proud of, and when tourists come, they show them these monuments.
This guy needs a porta-potty real bad. He also needs to have his medications increased. Possibly 100mg of Thorazine, four times a day would help him out.
Beasty Boy sez..."Why should a small handful of people ignite the entire world, merely in order to fill their pockets? Why? We are against this method of running the world, and we say this clearly. I am declaring clearly that I am against the policies of the U.S. and England in running the world. And by the way, I support peace and quiet, and I am a very peace-loving man..."
The beast of the East sez that he does not like American/English policies...Too bad Beasty...I dont like some of them myself. But I like yours less...That Beasty is a peace loving man is a joke...He's peace loving as long as he and his ilk are getting their way. He does not say just exactly what he would replace these policies with, but the posters/readers here know , dont they.
'I'm waiting for the Mahdi, every day, I'm waiting on the Mahdi in every way', 'Sharia law here we come, right back where we started from...Thats about 632 AD or so...Beasty Boy sings that in the shower on the rare occasion that he gets one...
Wow... Is crack legal in Iran?
It's that religion that dictates that history did not exist before ole Whatshisname had a "visitation" from Gabriel. Does Ahminidawhatever actually believe that Europe is the Jewish homeland? Does he not know that the Roman Empire is the reason Jews were living in Europe? That area we erroneously call Palestine is actually their homeland. If he wasn't so dangerous he would be funny. Can you imagine a Western leader saying such nonsense?
Ahmadinejad sends me on a mind-bender every time I read his garbage - he's one 'toxic' dude!!
I think I just watched Satan's right hand give a speech.
What really gets me is the fact that the Muslims in Europe are making it unsafe for EVERYONE that isn't a Muslim today. And that's a fact. Just ask the parents of that boy who was stabbed over an MP3 player the other day, or the French women that get cat-called on the streets, or the Jews that get chased through alleys by Jihadi thug-gangs.
If the Holocaust happened? Every American GI that is still alive today that helped pull a starving skeleton of a human being out of those concentration camps should be allowed to paint their regards on the first Tomahawks to be delivered to Tehran, Natanz, Arak and Isfahan! And every Holocaust victim still alive today should be able to sit at this maniac's trial.
More hypocrisy from the Islamic world! 60% of Israel's population fled (or their parents fled) from the "unsafe conditions for Jews" created, not by Europeans in Europe but by Muslims in the Islamic world. The Israeli President Moshe Katzav and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz are natives of Persia (Iran), and I can guarantee neither would choose to return to Iran "if the prison gates were opened."
But of course the MSM doesn't like to recognise this fact and highlight this kind of BS for what it is, because to do so they would have to admit to, and come to terms with, the historical reality of dhimmitude.
The Jews are the source of all evil and all Ahmadinejad (and Islam generally) needs is a little Lebensraum.
Absolutely chilling.
I'm sure Ahmadinejad's reading consists of the Koran, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and Mein Kampf. He's a regular scholar. I think Ahmadinejad is a dangerous paranoid (delusions of grandeur & persecution). He's crazy. Its not funny and everybody (particularly Putin) have got to stop playing with this fire that could easily get out of control. Its time to put an end to this nonsense.
"In culture, science, and international politics, Germany should have a prominent standing. But 60 years later, they are still held prisoner by a handful of people (Jews), who themselves (Jews)had planned all the events of that era. Now they (Jews) say that no one is allowed to talk about or research this event. Why not research it?

I am declaring clearly that I am against the policies of the U.S. and England (controled by Jews)in running the world. And by the way, I support peace and quiet, and I am a very peace-loving man..."
Yeah.
"Wow... Is crack legal in Iran?
Posted by: Shinoliite"
No, but Iran has a TERRIBLE drug problem. Teheran has the largest group of opiate addicts in the world.
It's almost as if he's trying to set up parts of Germany to ally with him against us, by appealing to the injured pride of the vanquished. The Germans couldn't possibly make the same mistake a third time, could they?
We've allowed the cult through the gates and now we are reaping the "benefits" of our trust and tolerance. If I were President, I'd remove non-citizen Muslims from U.S. soil starting tomorrow, I'd disallow anymore student visas from Islamic nations, I'd close the doors to all Muslims except specifically recognized diplomats and representatives.
Muslim-Americans would then be given an ultimatum: "we're going to have a Reform." And anyone that makes a stink, causes a riot or otherwise disrupts the process will be on the first plane to the Middle East.
We are at war, the enemies are lining up, it's about time we started doing something to counter it; enough of this PC nonsense. We know what needs to happen, but the ultra-liberals, the media spin- doctors and the United Nations will try to continue mind-controlling us -- just like they did with the lies that surrounded the Kosovo War. (I still feel guilt for believing all those stories so readily.)
Very interesting stuff at this site if you haven't seen it. A lot to dig through. Very controversial. You decide:
http://emperors-clothes.com/
this guy is Hitler reincarnated,fool the poeple with eliquint speaches about peace and evil jews while planing on war.
he said that if they(meaning Iran i assume) had the power they would have stoped the war,that's laughable since during world war II Iran let nazis occupy thier country.
some history
there isn't anything we can do right now with this guy except watch him and wait till he gets so far out of control that WWIII is enevitable,isn't that what the UN was created for? kudos on the squabling, being totaly useless and corrupt.
I have no words about Moumad Amedinejad,he speaks for himself.he is approoaching the line between really bad guy to cartoonish villiany.
I just hope he bought his weapons from Acme so they blow up in his face.
Hannibal Lecter whispers to Clarice "I support peace and quiet, and I am a very peace-loving man..."
Will all Muslims, then, be returning to Arabia?

Muslims!
Back to Mecca!
There's plenty of room.
Show us the way it's done.
We believe that just like the rest of mankind, the Jews have the right to live a life of prosperity, freedom, and security. Set them free, and let them return to their homelands.
The English are from England. Iranians are from Iran. Likewise, Jews are from Judea, but for this, the Iranians blame the English!? Mr Moody Numbnuts or whatever he's called should check his history - it was King Cyrus the Great, the founder of Iran, who ended the first diaspora... if Iran hadn't been concieved in the first place there wouldn't be an Israel now - and the 2nd diaspora wouldn't have happened, or the Holocaust, or Zionism, and therefore, according to the denialist 'logic' of Islam, the global Jihad.
So why should the rest of the world have to suffer all this nonsense just because 2,600 years ago some Achaemenian Emperor decided to line his pockets by inventing an artificial entity in the heart of the ME - Iran - as a means of spreading his mischevious, wholly un-Islamic notions of multiculturalism, pluralism, egalitarianism... aka "peace and quiet"?
This cretin's so confused he's not even wrong...
One question I would love to ask Ahmadineja or any holocaust-doubter. Why did Hoess, commandant of Auschwitz not 'mention' the fact during the war crimes trials that there were no gas chambers. He described 'liquidations' in detail, with dates, numbers, etc.
Why did myriad other Nazi war criminals (many on trial for their LIVES) not even think to say that it did not happen. They all tried to shift blame to higher-ups but never never ever said it didn't happen - never even minimized the holocaust in any way.
Explain, please.
Persia didn't become Iran ("Land of the Aryans") until two years after Hitler took power in Germany. The Islamic-Nazi connections go deep. Only Austria and France come close in this regard.
If Ahmadinejad is so eager for Jews to leave Israel, why doesn't he donate an equivalent area of good land now belonging to Iran, preferably with lots of coastline, for Israel's new location? And pay for the moving costs? Okay, the Israelis would probably say no, but it wouldn't hurt to offer, right? Oh, and if repatriation to non-Palestinian homelands is the theme, will Jews get to "return" to Medina and Baghdad?
The country first became known as Iran back in the 5th century BC, when Cyrus consolidated the Persians and Medians into a united kingdom. I'm not sure which (Dutch?) researchers first co-opted the term "Arian", but it seems it was used to imply a mythical kinship to early descendants of the 'first people' - God's People? - whomever & wherever they might be. The dusky Iranians thought they were the archetypal indoeuropean "chosen ones", and the Nazis thought blond Germans were the most highly-developed descendants of this same (notional) race. But obviously they're two different peoples, and whatever concessionary recognition the Nazis extended them, id've thought it would've been strategic and temporary. From the Iranians i've known though, they do seem to believe that they're "Aryans" - the same race the Nazis proclaimed as superior. I think it's it all BS though...
Why should Jews repatriate to non-Palestinian lands if Palestine IS Judea, their nominative, semanticly-determined homeland? Screw NoNads, if everyone called a spade a spade we'd all have to accept that the Arab Muslims are the illegitimate invaders, in every sense. The Abomination that brings desolation, that stands where it should not, should be the object of removal. If I was Israeli i'd be just about sick and tired of nosy foreigners telling me what ruddy country i was supposed to be living in. Jews=Judeans & Palis=Invaders. Arabs are ppl from "Arabia", NOT Judea, Not Israel... and not Iran, either...
Of course Ahmadinejad only refers to Ashekenazy jews of european descent. the sephardic Jews,Yemeni jews and some 800,000 in total expelled from arab land are totally ignored.
The persecution and murder of jews was eagerly aided and abetted by the followers of Al Husseini who desperately hoped that hitler's final solution would be implemented in Arab countries.
The Vichy government gleefully aided and abbeted the final solution in North africa, even though the borders of the final solution were set at Europe at the Wansee conferance.
Walter Rauf the notorious inventor of the mobile gassimg units who it is said died in his bed in S.America, practised on tunisian Jews , awaiting the push through egypt towards Israel.
Had Rommell not geen stopped at El Alamein by the wonderful Montgomery, the concentration camps of Tunisia would have expanded to cover the Middle east, complete with gas chambers and willing arab operators.
The Holocaust of Sephardic Jews (including the 70,000 jews of salonica, murdered in Auschweitz has been neglected by historians, perhaps because of the implications of islamic cooperation.
In my previous post regarding the cooperation of Arabs in the Holocaust of Sephardic Jews and the questions of its underexposure, including the mindset that the holocaust was "limited to europe". a new website is worth a visit
http://holoseph.org/
'While the history of the destruction of the Sephardic/Romanoite Jews of Greece has been well documented, the plight of the Jews across the Mediterranean and in the Levant has been left out--this includes the involvment between the Nazis and the Islamic leader, Amin Al-Husseini.'
Animus,
Persia became Iran in 1935. From what I understand, it was Persia from 600 BC to 1935.
Good points st. George. Good points, all. And how about one of the most ancients "Sephardic" cultures of them all, predating, I might add, by over a thousand years, the Muslim arrival in Persia. Yes, long before the crazy's took over, long before the influence of Mohammed arrived on the Persian scene, Jews were a successful, integral part of Iranian society. The Iranian chimp in chief seems to refer to the Jews as an alien influence in Israel and the Middle East, as if the thousands of years of Jewish Life in Iran: from Meshed, Tehran and throughout the world was myth. Interesting, isn't it, maybe it hurts a bit, that before the arrival of the 'wonderful Islam revelation' in Iran, Jews thrived and lived in trust and peace with their neighbors. No, the chimp only refers to the German or Warsavian Jews, never to the Sephardic Jews. No, lets not get confronted with such facts. Still today, there are over twenty thousand Jews living in Iran. Yes, the chimp in chief is a boob who needs a shave.
Strangely, even though this madman and this Jew-hatred exists and takes Iran down the road to Armageddon, some 20.000 (?)
Jews still exist in Iran.
Any JW/DW watchers have contacts? What has become of them, what will become of them?
Iranian Jews were promised by Khomani, "we don't have a problem with Jews, just Zionists." I think there were over one hundered thousand Jews right before Khomani--now it's way down, centered to just a few cities. Should they leave? Of course, but it's the old story, job, friends, culture, fears of starting over, hopes that maybe it will get better, surely the German people will get sick of Hitler mentality, that is a basic human trait(perhaps frogs in hot water have the same trait). Many are doctors, professors, merchants ect. I'm told they, the Jews, get along with the average rank-and-file Iranian . . . don't forget there is a minority over there who love our culture, hate the crazies, identify themselves as Persian first. There was a show trial in Iran a few years back where 11 or 12 Jews were convicted of trumped up charges of spying for Israel. So over eighty percent of the Pre Khomani population has left(in terms of Jews). Sadly, most of the smart, cultured, pro American Iranians have left(or will), leaving the chimp in chief with a drug out youthful population(drug addiction is huge in Iran), totally burned out, led by an increasingly corrupt "priestly" class in a theocracy. From this class' perspective, hatred of Israel, building the bomb are great, since it deflects the growing societal problems, Islamic failures in governance of a thuggish theocracy(see Among the Believers by Naipul for numerous examples of this).

STARTING TO WAKE UP TO THE REALITY OF WHAT WE FACE -
The world's first true world war
http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=d419b737-6e72-46ce-96ec-98025af1b70f
For 5 1/2 years now, I've been trying to make sense of the strange war going on between the West and "Islamism" for the readers of this newspaper. It is a war to which none of the rules of Western warfare, or international law, apply. When we try to apply such rules, we can do so only for ourselves.
This column is an attempt to state the obvious. As usual, I make no apologies for trying to comprehend things at the broadest level of generality, and in the simplest terms. Some writers pursue the subtle; I am usually looking for the plain. I believe a general failure to grasp the obvious permits much false subtlety. To my mind, people who do not grasp there is a war on, and that it is a war that will determine how our children will live, and their children's children, lack an elementary purchase on reality.
How big is this war?
It is the first true "world war," in the sense that the battlefield can be anywhere at all on the planet. One might even consider it the unexpected fruit of "globalization" -- for the West (including all countries that aspire to Western standards of development), and Islam, as any other players (mainland China comes to mind), now have an interest in every location. Increasingly, the battlefronts become -- this is what I observe, hardly what I want -- wherever there is a Western presence in the Islamic world, and wherever there is an Islamic presence elsewhere. Israel is symbolic, because it is the one completely autonomous Western enclave in the Arab Muslim world. It is therefore detested as an alien lump, as if it were a cancer on the body of Islam.
Though on one level this strange war is as old as the 14th-century clash between Islam and Christendom, it has taken a form that is a new thing under the sun. This "new thing" didn't begin on Sept. 11, 2001, but well before that; it only became visible to many on that day. There had been about 8,000 terrorist hits on Western or Western-associated targets in the 20 years before the World Trade Center went down. There are now more than 10,000 hits a year. Seemingly permanent battlefields have emerged in several locations, including Iraq and Afghanistan, but also Sudan, the southern Philippines, and quite arguably, urban France. Many still argue that the war is a figment of the Bush administration's imagination. How I wish they were right.
Who or what is our enemy?
Not Islam, per se, but a constellation of radical Islamic factions that pursue their own "civil" conflicts inside each Muslim country -- for the purpose of ridding each of Western influences, and in the hope of imposing in each a strict Islamic order founded in the Shariah. Sometimes they fight one another. But for the most part, their violence is aimed against the common enemy: against us, and our allies.
The Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah and al-Qaeda are four quite different movements (and this list is far from complete). The ideals of Hezbollah are embodied in the state of Iran, those of al-Qaeda formerly in the state of Afghan-istan. In countries like Syria, as in pre-invasion Iraq, an outdated quasi-socialist ideology is gradually transformed into an Islamist one. Elsewhere, Islamism grows by attempts of secular governments to appease it.
All of these "political and spiritual movements" are violent, but they lay emphasis on different targets for different reasons. Each can be interpreted externally as a terrorist network, but each defines itself internally by its allegiance to Islam. While they disagree on fine points of Koranic interpretation, all agree they have a commission from Allah to Islamicize the world by force. Since all agree that the West is the ultimate, even apocalyptic enemy of Islam, they routinely co-operate in attacking our interests. It thus makes sense for us to think of them as allied.
On whose side is the rest of the Muslim world?
An impossible question to answer, because depending upon the angle of observation the answer is completely different.
My sympathy with the difficulties of "moderate Muslims" comes from my persistent attempts to imagine what my feelings would be, were I a Muslim. One's natural allegiance is to one's own identity. And if Muslim fanatics succeed, as they appear to be doing, in defining Islam as what they profess, the moderate Muslim is left with an ugly choice between supporting them and apostasy.
How do we measure progress or regress in this war?
The only plausible answer I can think of is, by our success in establishing secular, nominally democratic, political and economic regimes throughout the Muslim East, which rule in defiance of fanatic claims. But awkward as this answer sounds, it becomes meaningless if we in the West do not begin to recover a robust sense of what we are about.

This is quite an offer from President Mahmoud. The Jews can emigrate from a life among Persian Moslems to Germany to live a new life among Turkic Moslems.
What a thoughtful and essentially correct analysis of the state of the world by 'churchill 1938' above. Your piece was illuminating to read. I am in regular e-correspondence with several prominent academics and journalists in England, the US and elsewhere. These are intelligent and highly educated people in positions to influence many minds - in the case of academics they obviously influence and mould many young alpha minds - yet not one of these friends has any grasp of the Muslim jihadic threat. They are in absolute denial. At some point in their development they decided everyone from the third world had the right to live in Europe but what they then called 'Zionists', but increasingly just call Jews, had no right to settle in Israel. I still remember when left-wingers (including some Jewish lefties) used to put forward the preposterous line that Nasser was a socialist (because the USSR said he was) that he attacked only Zionist Jews, not anti-Zionist Jews. The fact that Nasser had expelled Jews from Eygpt, from the universities, etc., did not seem to sink in with them. In his prophetic book '1984' George Orwell wrote that after a while the people of his fictional dystopia Eurasia could not discuss a concept like the American Constitution because 'Big Brother's' government had expunged away from usage the words that expressed the ideas contained in such a document - words like 'liberty' and 'freedom'. If one substitutes Grand Ayatollah or World Caliph for 'Big Brother' one can see that '1984' is a state far closer to the one jihadists aim to create (whether Sunni or Shia) than the Stalinist society Orwell was warning about. Day by day in Britain it becomes more and more 'normal' for Islam and its adherents to fill the newspapers and the TV news. Channel 4 TV News sometimes has more Mulim items than any others even if the items are about different stories. I was somewhat alarmed to read that Britain's Royal Navy has just announced the promotion to Rear Admiral of a Muslim Commodore (born to Pakistani parents) who currently commands Portsmouth naval base. I am sure this able officer is a credit to the Navy and as loyal to Britain as any Muslim is ever able to be. Strangely though, security-sensitive civilian jobs in British armed forces establishments cannot be filled by people born abroad, or back during the Cold War by British-born citizens if they merely had relations in communist countries. Britain already has a Muslim Assistant Commissioner in the London Metropolitan Police. No doubt he is a credit to the police. But potentially can a country with which Islam is at war afford to have Muslims privy to its innermost internal and external defence secrets? As 'churchill 1938' rightly says above - this is a world war - but few on our side seem to have noticed yet.
I'm starting to smell a rat here. Are you guys implying that you're not Marxists?
Reason I axe is, the lifestyle of these poor "hard working" Arab or Abyssinian hacks is augmented by HHS Food Stamps for the Halal, HHS AFDC for the breed-rate, HUD Section 8 for the apartment, and HHS Medicaid for the healthy Jihadist.

Yes and like that era, Churchill's warnings fell on deaf ears until the fascist hordes swarmed over Europe. The scenario in Eurabia is bleak - resentful, unemployed young Muslims who can be converted into cannon fodder anytime. The Iranian President has already warned that fifth columnist and sleeper European Muslims will be recruited in the war against Israel and eventually against Europe itself. Expect armed insurrections and the attempted overthrow of democratically elected governments in Europe while the useful idiots sit back and stare helplessy.
If someone says they want to kill you, as our Iranian Pres has said, one should believe it.
Naturally, Ahmadinejad either knows nothing, or if he knows, would say nothing about Iran's direct contribution to Israel's population shortly after it's founding, which may have had a more than a bit to do with the Shah's father's fraternity with Hitler or of the hundreds of thousands of Jews who fled Muslim countries, primarily for Israel, where they lived in tents in the desert for a few years before being fully settled (contrast that with the "Palestinian" Arabs sitting in "refugee camps" for 60+ years to keep UNRWA and a number of other "NGOs" in business). I understand that up until the 1930s, it was still Persia, but at Hitler's suggestion, the old Shah adopted "Iran" as it alluded to "Aryan".
Of course, there's also the huge diaspora of Muslim, Zoroastrian and Bahai Persians who also fled either the Shah's totalitarian regime, or its even nastier successor, Khomeini's Islamic Republic.
Ahmadinejad is one very ignorant, sick and dangerous man, and no friend to his own people, let alone anyone else.
"And every Holocaust victim still alive today should be able to sit at this maniac's trial." From Foehammer
LOL
Yeah--On the jury!
This proves that the president of Iran is a true
"nutjob" and needs to be commited for the safety of both Isreal and the world.
Great words above, yes, but they weren't written by the poster, they were written by Mark Steyn. See www.steynonline.com for more.
How about this "exchange"?
All the non-muslim people living in israel relocating somewhere else, and all the muslim people in western societies (A-L-L O-F T-H-E-M, not just late immigrants) relocating in some place in Middle east. Including the ones that convert to islam afterwards. With the total block of incoming muslims in western lands for the next 10,000 years.
Sorry for the Israelis but I would sign the trade instantly.
Yeah, that nuclear bomb he craves was through the science of a Jew. I wonder if Ahmadinejad can admit that Einstein was a Jewish person.
Here we go again with that word 'peace'. Defined as, where all are either annihilated or converted to peaceful Islam. Then when those of Islam such as Ahmadinejad, say they mean peace or that they are peaceful, we must understand this as a declaration of war.
He should thank the lucky democracy he is standing on – that he should be given the podium to incite such shit. Maybe he will learn the lesson of Germany – the hard way – if he wins the next election!
How is Iran still a member of the impotent U.N.?

I was somewhat alarmed to read that Britain's Royal Navy has just announced the promotion to Rear Admiral of a Muslim Commodore (born to Pakistani parents) who currently commands Portsmouth naval base.
You mean the Portsmouth naval base? The one from which Britain ruled the world, helped civilize the world, for over 200 years?
MO HIJABS MO BACK-STABS MO SOMALI CABS MO SYMBOLIC DRIBS AND DRABS MO
Whoa. This is a symbol, a sign, sent down to us from On High.
Lemme see: A succession of Christian admirals help civilize the world from Portsmouth. The English stupidly, idiotically, delusionally, appoint a Moslem admiral to oversee Portsmouth.
I think that maybe, in the back of the Moslem admiral's addled mind, Allah is quietly whispering to the Moslem admiral to use his position at Portsmouth to de-civiliize the world.
Could be. Dunno. But it fits the pattern set especially since Osama called for global jihad in his 1998 fatwa.
Using the above logic, how about the Jews returning to Yathrib and Sheba, like in biblical times? Why Munich and Salzburg, and not Yathrib & Sheba? After all, that holocaust presumably didn't happen either.
You are so right on, Pride.
Except for this: The original Jewish holocaust, started at Allah's command with the assasination of Abu Afak in Yathrib (Medina) in 724AD, is set forth by Moslems themselves right there in black and white in the Islamic scriptures.
We all know here at JW/DW that Islam --- both as a political ideology and as a fake religion --- is predicated on antisemitism along with several other foundational concepts.
But it is our humble duty to not forget that, on the Marxist side, Tim Russert and Hillary Clinton have seen fit to not take a peek inside the Islamic scriptures to be able to see the history of the orginal Jewish Holocaust written right there in black and white.
On the right, the same goes for Bill O'Reilly and Michael Savage.
Et al. Fictive Reality thing going on all over the place.
Beagle, you're right of course about Persia becoming the republic of Iran in '35, however on the so-called cyrus cylinder at the British museum the inscription (which the new king read out to his inaugural congregation at the temple of the proto-Allah Marduk) are the words "Now that I put the crown of kingdom of Iran, Babylon, and the nations of the four directions on the head with the help of Mazda" and also "I implore to Mazda to make me succeed in fulfilling my obligations to the nations of Iran, Babylon, and the ones of the four directions." - 540 BC. Kind of unsurprising that Marduk/Allah/Baal/Lucifer was the officiating deity at the ceremony. Also, as "Iran" means "Land of the Aryans", and such a race does not actually exist, Iran's "right to exist" as a country should also be open to question. I don't know the Farsi for "Land of the people of questionable parentage" but watch this space...
Animus points out that the Jews originate from Judea. Judea was the Greek and Latin name for the country [in Greek> Ioudaia; in Latin> IVDAEA], apparently taken from the Aramaic word Yehudaya, meaning "the Jews." This is the theory, with which I agree, of Felix Abel of the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem. The Jews generally preferred to call the country Land of Israel [also see Christian NT Book of Matthew, chap 2:20-21]. The term Judea is used in the NT is two distinct ways, which causes some confusion. It is usually used there to refer to the southern part of the country, roughly speaking, the former kingdom of Judah, which I prefer to call Judah. However, in some places in Acts and Luke, Judea is used in the broad Greco-Latin sense to refer to the whole country, which was made into the Provincia Iudaea after the Jewish kings were deposed and up to the end of the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt. After Hadrian's forces suppressed the revolt [135 CE], he renamed Judea "Syria Palaestina." Palaestina originally was a Western name for the country, used by sailors and merchants coming from the West, and taken from the Philistines who lived along the southern coast. The name is found in Herodotos, but was little used after Alexander's conquest. Likewise, Syria was a Western name taken from the city of Tyre [=Tur=Sur= Tsor in Hebrew]. Syria referred to the area around Tyre and then its application spread to all of what is called the Levant. After the defeat of Bar Kokhba's Jewish revolt, Jews were apparently forbidden to live in and around Jerusalem [renamed Aelia Capitolina]. At the time of the Arab conquest, Jews were still probably half of the population in the country.
