What the heck do they mean by 'students'? Is that supposed to mean they're, like, intellectuals or something? Perhaps people the regime wants to get rid of?

Universities in Iran apparently exist mainly to print membership cards, that every Iranian citizen can claim to be 'student' of something.

Posted by: Henrik at January 6, 2009 10:07 AM

Let us not lose sight of the fact that the Iranian regime are presiding over a demographic and economic mess. Their inflation rate is sky high, unemployment also, and they can offer no hope or prospects to the thousands of jobless youngsters all over the country.

Last time this happened, khomeini sent his surplus kiddies into the minefields during the war with Iraq. He gave them little plastic keys to the gates of heaven, and solved all his own problems at a stroke.

I'm not saying the regime does not treasure it's bright young people, just that they like the dead ones best.

A quick look at the U.S. Census Bureau's International Data Base is interesting. The population figures are broken down by age groups rather than by student status, but it's a safe bet that virtually all in the 5-9 and 10-14 groups are students, and that most in the 15-19 group are, and perhaps even a majority in the 20-24 group. So, to keep things simple, I'll assume that all four groups are "students".
Males in the 15-19 and 20-24 groups are the most likely "volunteers", and they total 7.7 million. So less than 1% are willing to be martyrs for Allah. Not very impressive. C'mon, all you Iranian youts, it's time to step up and make a hit (and take a hit) for Allah, Mohammed, and the Hidden Imam. You can do better than a measly 1%!
It's even more pitiful if one expands the group of likely candidates to include females and the 10-14 age group. These total 23.8 million, so only about 0.3% are willing to die for Allah. No religion at all, these kids!
It's also worth noting that for the ages 5-24 inclusive there are about 1.1 million more males than females. The indicates to me that the Iranians have aborting their female offspring in vastly disproportionate numbers. It also indicates that there are a lot of young fellows coming up that will have to do without. This will be a big problem for the regime in the not-so-distant future, and one way to reduce the problem is to send some of these randy young bucks off to commit suicide.

we should not allow the Shiite cheerleaders to expand the intolerable supremacist ideal.

we should not be tolerating the dua qnoot addition to the salah here in the U.S. either. it serves to justify intolerable actions, once it's in the synaptic makeup of adherants ... serves to limit the imagination, eventually stunts growth and potential.

More than 70,000 students from universities throughout Iran..

I'm sure Ernst will not have anything to say about the sort of "academics" Iran turns out now. Like his award had nothing to do with Islam. (roll eyes)
Isn't it interesting that it is University students who are volunteering in such numbers?

Could it be that this is akin to the Woodstock days in America (with a twist) - "peace, love, brotherhood and martydom" - an outcome of aimless (as ebonystone alluded to), affluent, and spoiled kids? I wonder how many young men who are working will volunteer as they are needed by their families.

Is it a sign of how fundamentally Islamic the universities are, or that more fundamental Muslims attend universities? (My bet is on the first, I mean, how can they focus on poets like Rumi for 4+ years and come out jihadists?)

How fortunate, or Providential, that the the awards and the students' open letter coincided. Funny how that happens.

-by ebonystone

That's not something to take comfort in. We have to stop looking at relative numbers and look at the absolutes. 70,000 is still a large number. If just one percent of the 70,000 follow through that's seven hundred people. Assuming a world population of 1.3 billion Muslims, just one percent of that is 13 million. If just one percent of THAT group follows through, you have 130,000 people willing to kill anyone and everyone. Look what nineteen people did to the US in 2001.

Is 70,000 plus just the first tranche? How many more are willing to sign up? That is the great unanswered question. If over 700,000 Iranians were willing to give their lives in their war with Iraq, its a safe bet that 700,000 are willing to give their lives again. I doubt for one minute that the Iranians are less extremist, nor their will to die, has changed one bit over the last 20 years. I reckon they're just as fanatical and ready to die now as what they were during the Iran-Iraq War.

It's not clear if this was an accident by the Israeli military or whether Hamas was using the "UN School" to hide. Most likely - it's the latter.

At any rate, children are *truly the most innocent* of victims. But their suffering is the direct result of the Hamas terrorist organization rooted in islam.

Yes, there is a reward for those who defend with justice against agression and injustice, but what about this whole "suicide bomber" thing?

What does the Quran say about that?

Surat Al Baqra 2: 205

205 O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!

Surat Al Nisa 4:29

29 O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been to you Most Merciful!

They call them "martyrdom operations," of course, and to call them that is entirely Qur'anically correct in light of the verse that guarantees Paradise to those who "kill and are killed" for Allah (9:111).

I think it is invaluable to quote ad infinitum (as was done in this posting) the specific references to the Quran, Hadith, and Sira that form the backdrop and the basis for what Muslims are doing today. It will hopefully eventually have the desired and needed effect.

Bumper Stickers
Other than my registration decal, I have only one sticker on my car - my parking sticker for work. Liberals love their bumper stickers, I suppose they think they can influence the world by slapping slogans on their cars. It makes for interesting reading at stop lights though.
Even though I'm not a bumper sticker aficionado, I would probably put some small symbol of support for Israel or this site on my car except for the fact that it would invite vandalism. And the vandalism would probably be more likely to come from a left wing infidel than a Muslim. There are better ways to oppose jihad than a sticker campaign, why make oneself a lightening rod for violence needlessly?

On the other hand, surreptitiously putting bumper stickers on other peeps cars can be fun. Just don't get caught. If someone really ticks me off, they may get a nice subtle NAMBLA sticker that they may not notice for days. Hah!

Now they're saying 30...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7814054.stm
-- from a poster above

But please note the meretriciousness of the BBC. Israel did not "attack" a "UN school." The building in question may have been described as a "UN school" but UNRWA is really an entirely Arab-staffed collaborator with the "Palestinians" with a handful of non-Arabs at the top to provide camouflage, such as that moral idiot John Ging.

Furthermore, that BBC title tricks you into thinking the Israelis just went and attacked "a school," a "UN school." No they didn't. That school building was full of young strapping males, and we will soon find out more about them. And in any case, a mortar from a tank, shot from far away, landed at the school. Is that the same thing as a deliberate attack? It may have been, or it may not have been. Given that Israel has been making superhuman efforts --those mass leaflettings, those computer-generated telephone calls warning even Hamas members to get away from apartments that are loaded with war materiel -- to minimize civilian casualties, and always has, while those who wish to destroy it, various groups of Muslim Arabs, whether it be the PLO in Lebanon in 1982(with those anti-aircraft guns placed on top of schools and hospitals), or Hezbollah hiding among civilians in southern Lebanon in 2006, or Hamas in these last ten days, it is very doubtful that Israel would have delibeately targetted the place unless it knew something solid about what, and who, was inside. No matter how much propapaganda, emanating from Hamas or its handmaiden, UNRWA, and then broadcast far and wide by the BBC and The Guardian (other handmaidens, further along the isnad-chain), long experience with both Israelis and Arabs teaches anyone to trust the former and mistrust, totally, the latter.

I've long had a "DefeatJihad/JihadWatch.org sticker on my vehicle. In fact, it's time to remove that old one and slap on a new one. I'm going to do that this week when my "Christians for Israel" stickers I ordered online last week arrive.

You can find those at cafepress, christians for israel

I've never had anything happen to my vehicle, but I also don't reside in a highly-populated metropolis containing all sorts of diverse groups. Like, I don't live in Dearbornistan, you know.

However, we do have a big picture window looking out to the street. I have thought how if a Mohammedan saw my stickers and followed me, he wouldn't hesitate to throw a brick through it. Oh, I have no doubt that would happen, because the Q mandates violence against Kuffars and even rewards them for it with the 72 virgin Paradise. So, you're right, you do have to be careful.

Bumper Stickers

I live in Los Angeles. We have at least two of everyone, and at least one of them is already pissed off. So no bumper stickers for me. I spread the word by talking to people. Not close-minded people; that leads to an argument rather than a discussion. But uninformed people, they make great candidates for engaging in discussion. I have turned lots of friends and colleagues on to this site. The first step is to get the point made that jihad and Islamification are real threats. A second step is to point out how to recognize less obvious forms of jihad. Another important step is to dispel the notion that being Islamo-aware equates to racism.

I've been visiting this site for perhaps 6 months or more and I'm on my third book of Robert's. I have enough knowledge in my head for pretty detailed discussions with folks that know near nothing about Islam and jihad. I have a way to go before I'm ready for a heated debate with someone with an opposing viewpoint.

In general I sense an increasing level of awareness to the threat.

contrary to what you seem to imply, i do not entrust my being to Allah. The so-called Merciful, isn't.

i am concerned that the locals in the US mosques are getting hyped for blasting by a little addition to their prayer rigor. the adherants will off themselves and others in a rather absent minded fashion.

back in the JW archives of 31 Dec you'll find two examples of the hype. read 'em an' weep.

"Iran boasts: 70,000 students have signed up to kill themselves in mass-murder operations"

A feat accomplished by Iran's state-of-the-art Islamic academic curriculum...

Don't they have just a regular old military? Can't people sign up to just fight for Islamonazism, or do they have to kill themselves? Civilized nations have GI Bills so that people can fight and then live to get a real education.

Ebonystone, this is the Muslim world. People graduate from "college" at 18 at the oldest. The majority of Iranian students are women, btw (according to that horrid study in moral equivalence, Christiane Amanpour's 'God's Warriors'), 60%. These are kids, not people in their 20s. People in their 20s are supposed to have long since been married and have a few kids already, not that that's how it goes these days because of Islamic poverty and the institution of marriage-as-prostitution/sex slavery. Most of them are too young to drive.

The way it works in the Muslim world is that kids graduate from secondary school around the age at which kids in the free world are entering secondary school (why not, when all there is to know is language, math and the Koran?), and then college lasts for three years. Muslims don't believe in usury but they believe in socialism, so the state usually pays one's tuition and they really have to be done in 3 years. Hardly anyone could afford to actually pay for college. No. Parents in the Muslim world just try to have as many kids as they can rather than trying to provide the kids they have with good teeth and a college education. I blame not just Islam, but socialism for this. When people get stuff for free they will always try to abuse the system. We're seeing the fruits of this in the demographic boom in all these nations. These societies must be isolated and forced to implode because of their own irresponsibility, lest they spread this to our world and parasitize us.

Then they start teaching. This is why I know Egyptians who speak maybe 80 words of English and can't conjugate 'do' and 'be' in simple constructions, but who claim to have taught English at the college level. I believe them, as it explains volumes. High-school-age kids who think the earth is flat teach at the college level in the Muslim world. This, among other obvious reasons, is why no scholarship of any value has come from the Muslim world.

Iran may be a little better. I hold them in higher esteem I do than the rest of the Muslim world and like to think that they're going through a (more) regressive phase under this unpopular leadership.

Also, Ebonystone, the difference between men and women, demographically, can't be due to abortion. First, I seriously doubt that they even have genetic testing in Iran. Nosejobs are about as advanced as they get. Second, where do you think they're getting abortions? If anything, women are dying getting illegal abortions, not selectively aborting girls. It could also be female genital mutilation (1/3 of girls who undergo it die and Iran has a lot of Kurds) or childhood pregnancy which accounts for that. Oh, and honor killing.

Think of how many of these people could have blown themselves up in Iraq, killing two birds with one stone, if only we weren't such bleeding-heart, nancy bitches. May they all predetonate.

Hundreds of Iranians boys at a time, many as young as ten to twelve, come in waves. Some carry rifles and some are unarmed. Their mission is to detonate mines and draw fire in preparation for full-scale attacks Iraqi lines. The boys carry plastic keys to heaven. They have been assured by their leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, that if they are killed on the battlefield they will go directly to paradise. "The purest joy in Islam," Khomeini has explained, "is to kill and be killed for Allah."

Ugumbo
Thank you for responding in the positive!

Black converts in the West think the new Arab dress and language is hip dont know one thing about true Islam and slavery. Slavery is Islamic and they hate whites who freed them. Africa is still in Islamic bondage.

Muslims are converting black convicts to blow up America and the PC patrol think that Islam is a religion. Islam is nothing but Arab imperialism, proof is that all change names to Arab names, try to read Arabic, and most cant even speak English well, dress like 7th century Arabs, while the Arabs are being educated the black are being conned. Islam is not a black man's religion, but a moon god with statues located in the museums of London. Sabeans were the Arabs who made the Kaaba, Ramadam, Hajj, Eid and all rites used by Muslims.

Psalms 83 shows that Ishmaelites and other Arabs were the ones who wanted the Jews dead and put into the sea way back then, same as Hamas today. They never quit. Muhammad made the Muslims promise to allow no other religion in Arabia except Islam. that is the REAL reason they want Israel out of Arabia.
Again, thanks for defending the black woman!

jd, fetus sex test kits are available over-the-counter for home use; this isn't genetic testing. Where are they getting abortions? Well from the same places women got them for generations before they became unrestricted in the Western countries. One doesn't need a special clinic to get an abortion, there have always been mid-wives, and wise-women, and women willing to try home-made procedures in private. True, these often created health problems, and some women died from them. This was one of the arguments used by the feminists arguing for legalized abortion: that fewer women would die from complications. Of course the feminists greatly inflated the numbers.
Also, the population pyramids don't bear out your theory; even in the 0-4 and 5-9 age brackets, there is a 10-15% larger number of males than females. Girls this young aren't dying from botched illegal abortions. Their numbers are lower because they've been selectively aborted.
As for FGM, the Kurds make up only 7% of the Iranian population.

jd, in Iran the population "boom" is about to bust. The natural rate of increase is falling, and will fall further in the coming decades. It's presently at 0.8%/yr. The 2008 population is ca. 66 million; it's expected to grow to only 81 million by 2050. By way of contrast, the current population of Afghanistan is 34 million; by 2050 it will be greater than Iran.
