Watch out, there's a filthy scarecrow lashing out at the beasts like a wild bacteria. No, no, it's a wild bacteria scaring the filthy beasts like a crow. No, that's not right either, it's a filthy beast scaring the crows like a wild bacteria. No . . . ah, I've got it, it's a wild bacteria crowing over the scared, filthy beasts.

The employment of "filthy bacteria" by Iran's Ahmadine jad can be compared not only to the imagery, with murderous consequences, of the Nazis, but to the standard Arab metaphor for Israel. It is a "cancer." Now one does not merely shrink the size of a cancer, but allow it to remain. One excises it, removes it, altogether --sometimes by first shrinking it, and then removing what fails to disappear entirely, sometimes by simply cutting the whole thing out.

By their metaphors shall ye know them. And that "cancer" metaphor for Israel (like Ahmadeinjad's Der-Stuermer- like "filthy bacteria") is telling. An Infidel nation-state interrupts the smooth flow of the Dar al-Islam. If Arab Muslims actually had the slightest bit of real "tolerance" in the Western sense, they would first come to understand that in the vast areas of the Middle East and North Africa, others besides themselves -- both non-Muslims such as the Jews now in-gathered into their historic homeland which they managed to rebuild with no natural resources and, until the last few decades, almost no aid save what co-religionists sent, but also Christians (the Copts who are the descendants of the original inhabitants of Egypt who managed to reject islamization), the Maronites in the Lebanon, the Chaldo-Assyrians, and smaller groups), and non-Arab Muslims (the Kurds, the Berbers). They have a chance to redeem themselves from the charge that Islam treats non-Muslims only as inferiors, allowed to avoid the other alternatives (death or conversion) only by submitting to the status of dhimmi, by accepting the Infidel nation-state of Israel, and not with treacherous intent, not trying merely to win its trust so as to inveigle it, and its Western supporters, to get it to be diminished even further in size, with no control over invasion routes, or aquifers, and then to renew the pressure until daily life in Israel becomes so intolerable, so perilous, that there will be an out-migration and a weakening within, and the Arabs can go in for the kill. And the same could be said for full-throated Arab Muslim acceptance of the Maronites and their claims in Lebanon, and in Egypt, this could lead to an end to the intolerable treatment of the Copts (many of whom, while in Egypt, find themselves forced to internalize, and promote, the Arab Muslim view of the world, but once safely outside, they permit themselves the mental freedom to see things differently). In Iraq, the Christians who remain deserve an autonomous enclave in the north, possibly guaranteed by a larger Kurdish state, itself dependent on the United States for diplomatic and possibly military support.

And until the Arabs recognize, by ceasing to threaten the Kurds and the Berbers, by ceasing to treat non-Arab Muslims as inferiors to be deprived of autonomy, and subject to Arab linguistic and cultural imperialsim, they will also remain open to the charge -- a truthful one -- that Islam is, and always has been, a vehicle of Arab imperialism. For everything about Islam encourages arabization. One must read the Qur'an in Arabic, and tens of millions of madrasa students all over the world are having their young brains used up in memorizing verses in classical Arabic of which they can hardly understand ten words. Muslims face Arabia five times a day. They take Arabic names, effacing their own ethnic and national identities. What does Pakistan have, what do those descendants of Hindus have, except Islam? And in having only Islam, they wish to become little Arabs, and so pseudo-Arab identities are assumed, with every third Pakistani being a "Sayeed," indicating descent -- a false and comical descent, both touching and depressing -- from the family or tribe of Muhammad. If Islam consists of Qur'an and Sunnah, then the Sunnah, derived essentially from what is written down in the accepted (and most authoritative) Hadith, and the Sira (the biography of Muhammad), is merely the record of the ways of behavior, the customs and manners, of seventh-century Arabs. No wonder that Islam is naturally the vehicle for Arab supremacism.

And if the Arabs wish to deny that it is any longer that way, they will have to prove it not by words but by deeds. And the deed that counts is for them to recognize, and not to oppose, Berber autonomy (or more) in North Africa, and Kurdish independence in Iraq. And an end to the insistence that, within Islam, it is Arab commentators, Arab institutions, Arab desires, that will take precedence, that must be followed by non-Arab Muslims everywhere. It is that Arabia-first attitude that Ataturk recognized when he commmissioned a Turkish Qur'an and a Turkish tafsir, and when he ended the use of the Arabic script in which Ottoman Turkish had been written. The Persians and the Turks, the most successful of the non-Arab Muslims to resist arabization, or at least the educated Persians and Turks, are quick to assure visitors that "we are not Arabs" and even "we can't stand the Arabs." The los-de-abajo Ahmadinejad and other supporters and epigones of Khomeini in Iran, to the extent that for them there exists Islam and only Islam, become less interested in, less sympathetic to, the history, pre-Islamic and non-Islamic, of Iranian identity. And the same is true of Erdogan and those who are attempting, slyly, step by step, to undo -- and they are trying to undo -- all of what Kemal Ataturk wrought, when he systematically tied Islam, as a political and social force, up in knots.

Islam as a vehicle of Arab supremacism.

It is true. It needs to be said, again and again, all over the Muslim-ruled lands, with the details spelled out. It can be done.

But not if all the Infidels can think of doing is "winning in Iraq" through "the surge" and suchlike.

Who will start to use his brains, to divide and demoralize and weaken the Camp of Islam? Is there anyone in power, or anyone likely to come to power as an advisor, who will be capable of this?

Or are "we the ones we have been waiting for?" And if so, how do "we" obtain the ear of those who are likely to be the next ones strolling down those same, slippery, strewn-with-banana-peels, corridors of power?

Re: Thug-In-Chief: Israel is "filthy bacteria"

Thanks to the "Outdoor cats" more and more folks get it as to why he "thinks" that way:

"The next segment of Sura 2, verses 75-105, continues the Qur’an’s criticism of the Jews. When you read statements by Hamas leaders or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about Israel, remember that they view Israel and Jews through a Qur’anic prism. They have learned, if they have studied the Qur’an at all, that the Jews are the most perverse and guilty – as well as the craftiest and most persistent – enemies of Allah, Muhammad and the Muslims"-Robert Spencer.

They say in Iran that the reason Ahmadinejads hair is partened in such a way, is simply to keep the male and female lice on separate sides of his skull.

I Wonder - On which side of the said noggin, does he keep his brain - and does it face Mecca on every given oppertunity?.

"He didn't explain how exactly Israel was oppressing Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc."
By its existence.

Referring to the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, the Iranian leader said that Israel "uses terror as a threat every day, and afterwards is happy and joyful."...

Like Muslims worldwide did not cheer about 9/11?

Israel "uses terror as a threat every day, and afterwards is happy and joyful."...

by ahmadinejad

That was a slip of the tongue. He really meant ISLAM "uses terror as a threat..."

You're welcome, Mahmoud.

Ahmadinejan was "elected" to the exhalted offices of president, as the pawn of the religious right.

His words mask anothers.

His actions reveal the true puppetmaster.

And his name....

Ayotollah Khamenei...

The religious leader of Iran at this present time.

I counted at least 5 comments made by Imawackjob where he projected his own staff infection onto someone else. Anyone else pick up on that? I thought he was talking about Iran, not Israel.

Where did they find Ahmad - from the funny farm?

As others have said. Every metaphor and slander that this sock-puppet says defines, illuminates and shows the soul if islam. We could not think of clearer and more descriptive words to use in trying to explain islam to someone from another planet.

So, as that corny saying goes, 'Remember that with one finger you point and accuse but the other three are pointing back at you.'

Mat 7:15-20
Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep, but are really wolves that will tear you apart. You can detect them by the way they act, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit. You don't pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles. A healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced.

حصير 7:15-20
حذار زاءفه الانبياء الذين جاؤوا متنكرين مءذيه الاغنام ، ولكن الحقيقة هي ان الذئاب سوف المسيل للدموع الى جانب لكم. يمكنك كشفها بواسطة الطريق هي تعمل ، تماما كما يمكنك تحديد شجرة بها من الفاكهة. كنت لا تنتقي من شوكة شجيرات العنب ، أو التين من الاشواك. صحيه جيدة تنتج شجرة الفاكهة ، وغير صحيه سيئة وتنتج شجرة فاكهه. شجرة طيبة لا يمكن ان تنتج الفواكه سيئة ، وسيئة ، لا يمكن ان تنتج شجرة فاكهه طيبة. ذلك ان كل شجرة لا تنتج المفروم هو ثمرة طيبة لأسفل ويلقي بهم في النار. نعم ، في الطريق الى شجرة او تحديد الشخص الذي هو نوع من الفاكهة التي ينتج.
