Hi, I am a former Iranian muslim. I am presently an athiest
and a TRUE Liberal but NOT a false Liberal

Iran with an Islamic terrorist theocratic government can not be trusted to have nuclear Energy. It is the one country in the world that can not be trusted unless there is a regime change.

Here is an exmple why: TEHRAN, Iran -- Some 200 masked young men and women gathered at a Tehran cemetery Thursday to pledge their willingness to carry out suicide bomb attacks against Americans in Iraq and Israelis.

The ceremony was organized by the Headquarters for Commemorating Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a shadowy group that has since June been seeking volunteers for attacks in Iraq and Israel.

A spokesman, Ali Mohammadi, described the group meeting Thursday as the "first suicide commando unit," though another official has claimed members already have carried out attacks in Israel.

"Sooner or later we will bury all blasphemous occupiers of Islamic lands," Mohammadi said.

If only 200 show up out of a population of 60 million, doesn't that also demonstrate they're scraping the bottom of the barrel now?

What do you do when 200 terrorists are ready to die for their cause?

Accommodate them.

I'm sorry but the ideology of Islamofascism is a culture and religion stuck in the darkness of the 12th Century that has not undergone a period of reformation or enlightenment. This is no religion of peace that sanctions the slaughter of innocents.

(Islamonazism and Islamofascism are terms used to describe the use of Nazi and/or fascist terminology, beliefs and propaganda by Islamic religious and political leaders, generally manifesting itself in calls for the destruction of the world and it's "infidels" (non-Muslims) in general.)



Iran,a known terrorist state is very close to having a nuclear weapon. We can worry about "Iranian democracy" later. First comes the safety of America,our allies and our interests. Destroy the mullahs...strike Iran now!

The future of Iran has major strategic policy consequences for the US in this region. A majority of the Iranian people who consider themselves Persian and not Arabic, would overthrow this radical Islamic theocracy if given a chance


The fact remains that Ameica's war against Islamic terror is the whole world's war against Islamo_Fascism and Islamic terrorism.

The fact is that Islam is pure evil dressed up as "peaceful" by some muslims.


Deal with the facts. Muhammad child raped a 9 year old little girl when in her own words was still playing with her dolls.

Then there is Muhammad slaughter of the entire male population of a tribe in Medina. Not to mention his muslims terrorist being told to kill his political enemies including an old man and a women with children. because those bad folks made fun of his pagan moon god cult.

Then there is Muhammad's muslim terrorist killing and stealing from Mecca caravans during the pagan Ramadan. They were told to bring back 20% of the stolen goods to Muhamhead to please allah of course.

And how do you like the koran telling men to beat their wives? It even tells the kind of stick to use.

Then there is the koran's promises of virgins, endless drunkeness (rivers of wine) and homosexual peophilia (young boys as fine as pearls).

Islamic terrorism is based on Islam as revealed through the Qu’ran.There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism, which is a totalitarian construct.
In Islam All infidels are to be converted, enslaved or killed.As long as the Koran exists, Islam will continue to oppress, murder, enslave, threaten, lie and terrorize innocent people.

When I think of what type of people order their followers to commit murder, I only can think of organized crime bosses or corrupt political figures. Ayatollah Khomenni comes to mind. How would an Iranian be treated if he spoke out about Khomenni ? Amnesty International just reported that many political prisoners have been executed in Iran.
His fundamentalist Islamic regime had other dissident Iranians murdered all over the world. These murderous Muslims represent exactly what Muhammad was all about. They follow Muhammad's methodology: kill those who are a threat to your credibility and power over others.

Hizbollah and other Islamic terrorist groups for example knows exactly what they are doing. They know it is cold-blooded murder that they are committing upon Muhammad's request.

With the Islamic terrorists , "enemy personnel" can be anyone from an English Hi humanitarian worker in Iraq, an Indian Kafir(Infidel who doesn't believe in Allah), a Russian,A communist, An Algerian muslim kid, a Dutch filmmaker(van Gough) or Jewish toddler. In short, the enemy is anyone not a Muslim(or sometimes a muslim) who does not believe the world is destined to be ruled by Islam.

The only reason the Americans are taking casualties is because they insist on fighting with one hand tied behind their backs. That is what cost them in Vietnam. When will they learn that war can't be won like that. If they so desired they could totally destroy any city in Iraq. They could do it without losing one soldier by using the weapons they have at their disposal. They could simply turm Faluja into a mass of ruble. But they won't. That is why the resistance continues. These same people cowered under Saddam. Why? Because he wouldn't have played by the rules. He wouldn't have waged war with one hand tied behind his back.

socialist pricks

free britian up the brits the gov has too much control on the tele.......espesialy in the usa assholes

here ,from the netherlands, I also think/know that the usa
liberated us, and concerning the french en germans....asholes!! they probably made a lot of dirty money, selling the iraqis chemicals !!

you people kill me,lol lol your such liars,socialists are simply liars..its the old saying with you scum "TELL A LIE LONG ENOUGH AND SOMEONE WILL BELIEVE IT.
we are not looseing anything the plan is on shedule,hell its ahead of schedule.
as for the arab tv stations telling it in the arab terms ...that is bullshit THEY ARE LIARS..why do i say this ?its simple the people in the region,and even the folks runing the tv stations are afraid of their own goverments.WEW INTEND TO GET RID OF SADAM AND LIBERATE THE IRAQI PEOPLE JUST LIKE WE DID FRANCE,THAT COST THE USA 10,800 LIVES

There is a belief among Americans that we have knowledge of everything. That belief led us to believe that when our army goes into Iraq they are going to be welcomed by the Iraqis with flowers and kisses. Instead the Americans are getting kicked on the asses by the masses. It again proves us that the world is thinking totally different than us. It is us that need to learn and change. I thought we learned that lesson in Vietnam. Right now we made Saddam Hussain irrelevant. Irrelevant of that Iraqis are hitting us with whatever they have. The young Americans really understood the meaning of "Shock and Awe".

chico, that's hilarious! I smell a Hollywood script.

Anus and Ania meet cute on a blog, then in meatspace at an Army Navy store, each there for a different item. Sparks fly, Anus discovers he likes coffeehouses, Ania, paintballing. It's so lovely, so Lelouch. Sure trouble is in the air, but so is Spring.

sigh. so much fuss about the obvious. almost all news reporters are technically illiterate not to mention a near total lack of military knowledge, no wonder they rarely get it right.

Craniac, that was funny!
I can't believe people here would cheer on the bombing of iraqi tv because now iraqi citizens won't be fed propaganda. what a load of BS. we're being fed propaganda everyday on US tv. i'm just as frighetened of our present administration and it's need to control the world as i am of any middle eastern country. wake up US! the New World Order is happening and it's controlled by US ultra conservative anti-environment anti-human rights oil royalty. beware of US labor camps coming to your town soon! phil Dick said it long ago.

When I go to the satellite feed now all I get is images of dismembered newscasters. Their hair, however, is undisturbed.

The Iraqi TV feed is back up on Telstar 5 as of 1000 Eastern 2003-03-26. One satellite board I read said it came up around 0245 this morning.

That E-Bomb piece is interesting: either they are using a EMP-Device that can be fired off a plane, but the term "Bomb" suggests the US are using atomic bombs that are detonated above the atmosphere. Like they did during the last war. The time iraqui tv has gone offline makes that scenario even more likely. *shudder*

What a load of crap. This liberal claptrap is beginning to make some of you artistes limp in the head! The weapon used was a Tomahawk. If you had a clue, you'd check the news coverage - yes, even Al Jazeera, favorite among the anti-USA types so prevalent here - and see the physical DAMAGE to the building, which is NOT from an E-weapon, or UFOs, or astrologers, numerologists, oxygen bar attendees, Nostradamus followers, Feng Shui converts. It's a run of the mill anti-Berkeley-superiority-complex-coffeehouse-faux-intelligentia style 'BOMB'! Just like your Dad used to use! (For those of you who actually know who your dads were, in your test-tube partial-birth-abortion, clone happy alter-existence!)

I have nothing to do with BoingBoing, in fact I tend to criticize the site, but let me confirm that I too independently saw the E-Bomb story on the AP newswire. This is not a rumor, they reported an E-Bomb that was described as an electromagnetic pulse weapon designed to disable Iraq tv. The fact that this story was pulled, and now everyone is shutting up isn't proof of a mistake in reporting, it is proof that the U.S. mainstream media is by and large government controlled. I laugh when people here thank god they don't live in russia where the media is controlled by Putin. People, wake up, the only real news is coming from overseas media and various blogs. We need blogs now more than ever.

It appears that the CBS News story has been altered. Here's how the copy read earlier tonight -- now, all references to e-Bomb have been removed. Link

U.S. Drops 'E-Bomb' On Iraqi TV
March 25, 2003


The U.S. Air Force has hit Iraqi TV with an experimental electronmagetic pulse device called the "E-Bomb" in an attempt to knock it off the air and shut down Saddam Hussein's propaganda machine, CBS News Correspondent David Martin reports.

The highly classified bomb creates a brief pulse of microwaves powerful enough to fry computers, blind radar, silence radios, trigger crippling power outages and disable the electronic ignitions in vehicles and aircraft.

Iraqi satellite TV, which broadcasts 24 hours a day outside Iraq, went off the air around 4:30 a.m. local time (8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday). Iraq's domestic television service was not broadcasting at the time.

Officially, the Pentagon does not acknowledge the weapon's existence. Asked about it at a March 5 news conference at the Pentagon, Gen. Tommy Franks said: “I can't talk to you about that because I don't know anything about it.”

The use of the secret weapon came on a day that saw intense action on the battlefield. The Pentagon said the U.S. Seventh Cavalry killed between 150 and 500 Iraqis after being attacked by rocket-propelled grenades near An Najaf in central Iraq. There are no reported American casualties.

Something strange is going on here. Neither of the stories linked to mention an E-bomb ... have they been changed? Did this rumour propagate and get disproven or are the blogs merely ahead of the news-wires?

"Iraqi TV (and a host of other Middle Eastern countries) is alive and well on Telstar 5."

Maybe, but various news outlets are reporting that the U.S. has destroyed the main broadcasting facility in Baghdad.

When I read "Oops. We just blew it up my first thought was "There goes the SlashBoing effect again".

No. It literally was blown up. Much more serious than the SlashBoing effect.

Wow, I'll have to go back and look! I agree about Abu Dhabi -- they've gotten significantly more professional looking recently, as has Al Manar (too bad they are the worst kind of propaganda station). I was cycling between Al Jazeera, Al Manar, and Abu Dhabi TV, and if you turned on CNN, it looked like nothing had changed!

By far the funniest war coverage has to be CCTV (China Central Televison). They were repeatedly cycling thru what had to be clips from "Wings" from the Discovery Channel!

While I was changing my proxy server Fox News reported that Iraqi TV had been put off the air. Therefore, I received nothing. Regardless, the article taught me a few things about anonymous proxy servers opening up new web surfing possibilities.

Iraqi TV (and a host of other Middle Eastern countries) is alive and well on Telstar 5. They were down for about 2 days, then came back up. It's funny, I had pegged Abu Dhabi TV as the channel with the most interesting video from Baghdad. Imagine my surprise when, after CNN was thrown out of the country, CNN began showing video from Abu Dhabi TV.

The Iraqis still have the Buddy Hackett-looking guy singing ballads about (presumably, my Arabic was never very good) military victory, with a set of pained-looking troops trying to keep up as the backup dancers.

For anyone who is really interested in watching other news sources, MPEG-2 Free-To-Air (FTA) Ku-band satellite channels are the way to go. You can get by in many areas of the U.S. and much of Europe with a 76cm dish (anything under a meter gets FCC pre-emption from restrictions), and a fairly inexpensive receiver, or PCI card for a computer.

Interesting. Iraq TV used to be on Telstar-5 (a satellite with a north-american footprint) until the shooting started, then it was "experiencing technical difficulties" (!). I assumed they had taken out their uplinks.

He's probably wishing he had time to polish his resume so he can get a shot at a job with the new regime. ("LIVE from the Land Between the Rivers, it's B-TV's Occupation News Tonight. A quality media product of Fox Broadcasting and Halliburton.")

No, that's probably the real image Dan. Anchorpersons in Baghdad are just not a happy lot at the moment.

Good tip. It works for the other channels, but right now all I'm getting from Iraqi Satellite is a still shot of a rather unhappy man staring at a piece of paper.
