Ahmadinejad promises Muslims will 'rejoice' soon

2006-07-19

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday promised a "rejoicing" for Muslims in the Middle East "soon," the Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Speaking to university officials in the town of Mashhad, Ahmadinejad said the "volcano of rage" at the "arrogant powers" was "on the verge of eruption." Referring to escalating violence in Lebanon and northern Israel, he was quoted as saying, "The Zionists themselves have realized that they have launched a risky move and are aware that the flame of the fury of the regional states will set them ablaze."

#25 Oh, and btw, the rest of us would stand beside him with "I'm with stupid" t-shirts on, lol!

#24 One of the guys in my coffee club came up with a solution (satirical at best) of setting himself up outside the Dome of the Rock (or wherever the 12th Imam is supposed to come down) during their Friday prayers. Then, they come out of the mosskkk and see my buddy standing there, with a "I'm the 12th Mahdi/Imam" t-shirt on and direct them to convert to Judaism and/or Christianity. Are we too far off the mark? It'd take all of Ahmandinejad's steam off too of thinking of himself as the "12th Mahdi/Imam".

#23 To build on what ex-lib posted so eruditely, it's my understanding that in that part of the world only the male on the receiving end is engaging in a homosexual act -- the aggressor is just doing what men do (to boys, to girls, to babies, to sheep, to camels...)

#22 And when I'm talking about sexual predation, I'm talking about the aggressor seeing or considering the victim to be a SEXUAL object, whose body exists for their own sexual gratification--this view is what would dictate the inappropriateness of certain physical expressions, which yes, are "homosexual" in the technical sense, but not in the sense most people in the West would understand.

#21 mhw: Well, from what I've seen--the more healthy families are very affectionate (normal hugs, kisses, verbal affirmation). And the grown men also are more demonstrably affectionate with each other as compared to Americans and Europeans, while not leaning toward homosexuality, or sexual predation. So, technically, the cultural norm of expressed affection falls within the bounds.

That said, sexual predation on young Moslem boys by relatives, strangers, or clerics, ( as seperate from adult-to-adult homosexuality, per se) is what creates a lot of the rage, as does the favoritism of older sons and the often detached father-son relationships within many families. A lethal combination to say the least.

Some of the Mullahs consider non-heterosexuality a viable "undertaking" (pun intended) and consider themselves to have the right to do whatever they want with whoever they can in terms of the younger boys they have access to. It's not unlike the abuse noted among some Roman Catholic "priests," youth leaders, etc., but exceptionally prevalent in the Arab countries. Sad.

anon: That's a great link. I've read it before, and it's a good one to copy and file.

IMO, it gets to the point where the reasons behind what's going on don't really matter. Like criminals, the Islamofacists pretty much just need to be stopped.

#20 ex-lib, very interesting take, thanks! It jibs very well with that Frontpagemag article I (?) posted here (or I discovered here, can't remember, lol) :
The Psychoanalytic Roots of Islamic Terrorism

Based on your experience, do the muslims you know consider certain pedophilic acts (e.g., caressing, hugging) to be not homosexual (and thus halal) but other acts (e.g., anal sex) to be homosexual (and thus harem).

Posted by: mhw 2006-07-19 12:07

#18 Yup. It's extremely prevalent in the Islamic world (upwards of 60%). Not only that, but oftimes Mullahs consider pedophilic access a professional perk. Sick stuff. Explains the seemingly irrational rage. Young men are trying (and failing) to reclaim their identity, or standing with those who have lost it. Unfortunately, they have to identify with the aggressor when they enter into the world of jihad.

As an aside, I went to see United 93 with someone who was totally unaware of the prolific sexual abuse of Islamic boys and after they saw the movie they said how interesting it was that the Arab actors had played sexual abuse victims so well.

So you see, it really ain't about the politics. Just some FYI. In the pragmatic sense though, we have to win decisively because any and all aggression against Islamics is an experiential reintroduction of the original victimization(s), and so fans the flames of outrage. Building bridges of affirmation among the non-fighting population is also an important primary stategy because change can happen from within. It just takes time.

#17 Um, so you're saying that old Uncle Ahmed had his hands down young Mahmoud's trousers? Thats not a pretty image.

#16 Ahmadinejad said the "volcano of rage" at the "arrogant powers" was "on the verge of eruption." Referring to escalating violence in Lebanon and northern Israel, he was quoted as saying, "The Zionists themselves have realized that they have launched a risky move and are aware that the flame of the fury of the regional states will set them ablaze."

Sigh . . . for those who can read it, this is illustrates the "pay back" mentality that Islamic phsical/sexual abuse victims fall into. It's sad on the face of it (in an abstract way), but he's still got to be stopped, because he cannot/will not stop himself. And yeah, he really DOES believe his own bullshit. (He also likes the money and the prestige his position/views provide. Follow the money . . . )

#14 Ya gotta admit that his speeches over the last 6 months have made up for the piss poor stuff coming from Kimmie. Clearly, the Iranians imported more than just missile stuff from NorK, they stole the whole Sea of Fire gig.

#7 Another veiled threat. If long-range missiles are launched at Tel Aviv from mobile platforms from north Lebanon, Israeil leaders will assume that these launches - with immediate pullbacks into Syria - will present a permanent threat against Tel Aviv. The only counter would involve area destruction, that would include Syrian territory. As that would ensure escalation, Israel would have to attack the missile suppliers at the source, and along the path.

Hiroshima, Nagasaki,...

#4 Nice one Sherry, I reckon this guy is going to be a smudge quite soon. America owes him one big time, 444 times big time in fact.

I had to blink a few times when reading his quotes, as I kept thinking: this is from a Head of State?!

#3 "fury of the regional states will set them ablaze.""

What regional states? Do you mean Egypt, Jordan, Baharain, Quatar, UAE, Saudia Arabia, Turkey, or Iraq? Actually, the regional states disagree with your actions.

#2 This man is going down in history. His words, like those of Hitler's, will be a published part of the short history of this current time. He seemingly, wants to be the guiding light to steer the folks of his faith.

I so wanted to believe that he is just crazed, but, I'm beginning to think, like Hitler, he truly believes, deep down in his heart, the words that he speaks.

He's been saying these words, since the first day of those 444 days lots of us remember, deep down in our hearts. I remember those 444 flags that waved in the winds, till they came home.

Yes, he will have a short snippet in our history books, as he is leading in a path to a brutal fight. And I think, he is beginning to wake America up, and the mood doesn't seem to be the same, pleasant, what can we do to help you, that our sleeping mode presents around the world. Oh, we did some sleepwalking, rescuing tsunami folks, hurricane and typhoon folks around the world, earthquake folks, and our military stayed awake and freed 50 millions folks.

But this guy has led a sheltered life. He's never met a Texas cowboy and his posse who stand behind him, drinking that stiff, strong coffee, blinking the sleep from their eyes. Those standing guard on the perimeter, on watch, are stepping into the campfire, giving a sitrep report.

Any of the tradespots on line taking bets on this? We may have a major historical event occurring before us, and this guy's name will be associated with it. A brief comment, but associated. Too bad, that doesn't earn him an eternal bliss.
