What happened to the pictures? Exhibit A, Exhibit B
Will they ever come back? Yes and no

Pseudo-Protesters: Unquestioned

It would appear that the Iranian government is stirring up a little bit of Ye Olde Anti-American Sentiments amongst its people again—Here's a "spontaneous" protest outside of the United Nations accusing the United States of "delaying" the process of rebuilding Shi'ite shrines in Iraq. Of course, the Iranian government probably shouldn't be expected to inform its citizens that Iran had a hand in those bombings, but hey, that's okay:—Reuters doesn't think you need to know that, either.

I'll be rounding up pictures of this outrage du jour following the break.

Update: Curses yet again! I haven't seen a string of Dick-Dastardlys like this in a long while!

As J.C. has so helpfully pointed out, my statement above was incorrect. My apologies for the mistake—and thanks for keeping me on my toes, JC! Yes, I do usually fact-check things before I post them, but as you can tell, things occasionally fall through.

Update: Just keep in mind that Iran definitely has a hand in the chaos of Iraq. The extent of Iran's reach may be debatable, but they are definitely there with the intent of harming us. Continue reading »
 

Happy "Death to America" Day

It would seem that Iran is celebrating the anniversary of the seizure of our Embassy today. From the looks of it, they rounded up their best and brightest to commemorate the event—an outpouring of genuinely manufactured outrage, for sure.

Thousands of Iranians chanted "Death to America" and vowed not to yield to U.S. pressure over Iran's nuclear programme at a demonstration on Sunday marking the 28th anniversary of the seizure of the American embassy.

I'll have more pictures following the break. For additional coverage, be sure to check out Kamangir.

Partners In Peace

How serious is Hamas about "making peace" with Israel? This serious:

Charming.

Hmm: Then again, perhaps Islamic Jihad is taking their orders from somewhere else. After all, it's not like their ties to Iran are all that secret or anything.

Update: Well lookee, lookee: To anyone who thinks you can somehow differentiate between Ismael Haniyeh (the "political" wing of Hamas), and the "militant" Islamic Jihad wing—I submit this:

Update again: Such a culture of peace. This kid can't be much older than 10:

Shekaki was shot and killed in a shooting attack in Malta in 1995. The group claims Israel was responsible for his death. (AP Photo/Adel Hana)

Happy Al-Quds West-Hating Fun Day

Is this the next Jihadi Idol?
It's that time of year again, and the celebrations have begun! If you're not familiar with it, "Al Quds Day" is a day set aside by the Ayatollah Khameni and the Islamic Revolutionary government in Iran as a day for Muslims to march against "Western" "oppression". Never they mind the oppression brought upon them by their leaders, of course. The stability of their dictatorships depends on them directing their peons' anger externally, does it not?

Notice that Al Quds Day falls on the last Friday of Ramadan, a day in which all Muslims are encouraged to go to their mosques for prayer. It is in these mosques that the "Islamic public" is so easily whipped into a rage by their radical imams. So, in effect, this is the largest canned protest of the year.

Be sure to check back here all day, I'll be doing my best to keep up with the fun and games!

And here are last year's celebrations, so you know what to expect.

Update: This year's theme, parroted by every single group of brainwashed demonstrators, is "DOWN WITH ISRAEL."

If only International A.N.S.W.E.R. had as loyal a following as Tehran does, huh?

;-)

Iranian "Army Day"... of Peace

I'm sure they're only parading these missiles around to illustrate their peaceful nuclear intent.

Keep reading for more Iranian silliness, plus a bonus appearance by my favourite little maniac. Also, be sure to check out our previous story on Iranian missiles of peace. Continue reading »
 

Al-Quds Day = "Blame Da Joooos" Day

My husband allows me to say only, "Death to America!"
Well, what do you know? Muslims worldwide are using "Al Quds" day as a perfect excuse to organize and blame Israel and the United States for all of their problems.

Who would've guessed it?

Photos to follow shortly. I need coffee like there's no tomorrow! :-)

(Update: Ok, the first batch of photos are in. I am absolutely on the edge of my seat waiting to see what gems we'll get from the Eternally Oppressed Palestinians... You'll find them catalogued here first, as usual!)
