| Ahmadinejad's anti-Semitic remarks part of a deliberate strategy |
| 2006-01-04 |
| Iranâs hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad renewed his call for the âremovalâ of Israel from the Middle East on Tuesday and said his string of attacks on the Jewish state and denial of the Holocaust were part of a âdeliberate strategyâ aimed at winning the hearts and minds of young Muslims. âSome in Iran and abroad thought that we were making these speeches without a specific plan and policy, but we have been pursuing a deliberate strategy in this regardsâ, the Iranian president told a group of Islamist student activists, according to the Persian-language website Khedmat, which was launched by Ahmadinejadâs campaign team during the presidential elections last year and continues to be run by his aides. âThe wave [that these speeches created] has a lot of supporters among young people in the Muslim world and it will continue to move forwardâ, Ahmadinejad said. Ahmadinejad told a joint meeting of his cabinet and Majlis deputies on Tuesday, âThose who defend today the crimes of the Zionists must be held accountable and sentenced. Of course, they claim that they are very strong, but this is one of their big liesâ. âThe revival of Islam is whipping the frail body of the Global Hegemonâ, Ahmadinejad said in a reference to the United States. âThis Global Hegemon will soon be toppledâ. Ahmadinejad, who has been a top commander in Iranâs elite Revolutionary Guards, told the Majlis deputies that is was âunbearableâ to witness âinternational butchersâ make accusations against the Islamic Republic. He rejected the authority of a United Nations mandate that declared the state of Israel to be legitimate. âYou who claim that there was a Holocaust are today repeating such a thing in Palestineâ, Ahmadinejad said, adding that Tehran did not fear retribution for its stance. Ahmadinejad had recently called the Holocaust a âmythâ and said that Israel must be âwiped off the mapâ. âWe do not fear their screams. The more they shout, the more they show their own weaknessesâ, Ahmadinejad said in reference to the international condemnation his comments received. His remarks were twice condemned by the United Nations Security Council. |

| #11 so meanwhile, if al-jizz really wants to be seen as a bona fide, objective news agency, why don't they do a special on the Holocaust. maybe they could show some footage of the admissions of guilt by THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY SAID THEY DID TRY TO EXTERMINATE THE JEWS! Incredible. The Jews who were there said they did it. Germans said "Yup, we did it." the evidence says they did it. And vast portions of the world choose not to believe it. These are the same people who say Jews are merely using claims of anti-semitism for an advantage. |

| #10 While it is difficult to sit still in the midst of such intolerable male bovine fecal matter, Ahmadinejad is doing this world a truly great favor. All those within Islam who desire genocide, world domination and pursuit of terrorism will rally around Iran's wingnut-in-chief or his Wahhabi counterparts. This strong polarization will give the outside world a critical glimpse of the naked evil that so much of Islam represents. After all, Wahhabist Salafism is virulently anti-Western as it stands. Now we also have a radical Shiite faction clearly demonstrating how Saudi Arabia is not the sole confines for such depraved thinking. However sickening it is to anticipate, after a sufficiently abhorent Islamist atrocity (probably nuclear), the remaining world will conveniently use the boundaries drawn by Ahmadinejad and the Salafist jihadis to simply exterminate that entire region of troublemakers. It will be remarkable if the retaliation is solely contained to Iran and Saudi Arabia. And this remains one of my own central points. The majority of Islam continues to tacitly comply with the policies of radical jihadists, thereby assuring that when the extermination begins, there may be little effort given towards distinguishing at all between Muslims of any stripe. Keep shouting for genocide, Ahmadinejad, and sure enough, you may get your wish. Just be very careful what it is you wish for. Advocates of genocide will be the first who are thrust into the ovens this time around. |

| #9 âWe do not fear their screams. The more they shout, the more they show their own weaknessesâ, Ahmadinejad said in reference to the international condemnation his comments received. He's totally right, you know. Which is why I for one am in favor of substituting shouts with many, may explosions. |

| #8 I really like the idea of using a rally low yeild nuke on one of their nuclear sites and then acting like it was a nuclear accident they caused. |

| #7 Ah'm-mad-inejad would have zero traction if anti-semitism had not already been pre-programmed into the Muslim psyche. Al-jizz and all the Arab media (Regarded by all muslims in the way the EU wants to be regarded among the westerners, as the res-plus-ultra of Islamic citizenship) have been pre-stoking the fire for decades, but eventually stopped short of calling for direct action after having had their asses handed to them by the IDF several times. This mook is merely running through the already fertilized field and harvesting the crop already growing there. |

| #6 May God dump it all on their own heads. The only thing I agree with Ahmadinejad is on the UN. Keep blaming the UN for Israel's creation...maybe he'll inflame the Islamists and they will eliminate the need for massive reform altogether. The UN has been a stumbling block in dealing with terrorism but have just been identified as a target by his "deliberate strategy". |

| #5 No popcorn for this one. This is getting ugly so fast that I've lost my appetite. |

| #4 "they either submit or they die" Gee, mac, sounds a bit jihadi-like. Personally, I don't want them to submit -- I want them to just stop supporting terrorism and building nukes. Comply or die. I have zero interest in governing them. |

| #2 These people need to have nuclear hellfire burn their nuclear sites down to naked molten bedrock. Then tell them they have 48 hours to overthrow their government and surrender or the rest of the country will end up the same way. No more negotiating or parleying; they either submit or they die, simple as that. |
