Khamenei, that greasy Islamophobe, somehow has gotten the crazy, bigoted, Islamophobic idea that the “Arab Spring” does not herald a flowering of democracy, human rights, freedom and pluralism in the Middle East, but represents rather a resurgence of political Islam, which will result in the establishment of Islamic states and a new jihad against Israel.

Islam — A (Jewish-) Christian Sect? (Part 3) A short history-of-dogma examination By Peter Bruns Translated by Anonymous Translation edited by Ibn Warraq Part 1 / Part 2 The investigations of Edouard-Marie Gallez[32] point in the same direction.

Leftists court Muslims to increase their electoral power
The fact remains that left-wing politicians and their financiers in the world often openly or secretly have links with Islamic movements. They are trying to legalize these movements. They try to make the leaders of these organizations into political figures. At the same time, they destroy those who are particularly intransigent. After the leftist philanthropist […]
Fatah leader: 1967 borders would mean end of Israel, but “keep it to yourself”
“Everybody knows that the greater goal cannot be accomplished in one go.” On the contrary, Hamas is impatient. Islamic Jihad is impatient. But in any case, they all have the same goal. “Fatah Central Committee Member Abbas Zaki Calls Netanyahu and Obama ‘Scumbags’ and Says: ‘The Greater Goal Cannot Be Accomplished in One Go,’” from […]
Virginia mosque where Awlaki was once imam: Awlaki “was known for his interfaith outreach, civic engagement and tolerance in the Northern Virginia community”
In other words, he was a “moderate.” What else can they say? They can’t very well avow that while he was in Virginia, he was preaching jihad and the destruction of the kuffar. But this statement causes other problems, raising yet again the uncomfortable fact that “moderates” can all too easily become “radicalized,” even just […]
Iran’s Parliament Speaker: “The US is averse to accepting the potential power of the Islamic world in resolving different regional and international crises”
Actually the U.S. currently seems quite open to accepting that power, provided that al-Qaeda cease operations. In other ways the U.S. has not opposed the “power of the Islamic world” — look at the Sharia Constitutions established under U.S. supervision in Iraq and Afghanistan. “‘US averse to accepting Islam’s power,’” from PressTV, October 2: Iran’s […]

Abdullah made the remarks on the first day of the fifth International Conference […]
U.S. officials have met with Muslim Brotherhood after announcing plans for direct contacts
The Ikhwan’s Freedom and Justice Party could decide instead to call itself the Otter Party, after the character in Animal House. Why? Because at some point, they will be able to turn to the U.S. and say, as Otter did to Flounder: “You —-ed up … you trusted us!” “U.S. met with Egypt Islamists: U.S. […]
Christians who have left Iran receive threatening emails ordering them to “repent”
The group claiming responsibility for the messages is believed to have ties to Iranian security, which is evidently outsourcing the dirty work for the sake of plausible deniability. “Iran Threatens To Kill Evangelical Christians Unless They “Repent”, Christians say,” from BosNewsLife, October 2: TEHRAN, IRAN (BosNewsLife)– Militants with suspected ties to Iranian security forces have […]
