La pareja recibió los latigazos en su casa.

Había cometido el crimen de ir a una casa en la que se celebraba un servicio cristiano.[Wow, ¡qué crimen! ].

Una pareja de cristianos recibieron latigazos en Irán por participar en una “Iglesia de las catacumbas”, según un grupo cristiano iraní ha publicado en su página web esta misma semana.

La pareja, a la que no se identifica, fue arrestada el 21 de septiembre de 2005, según el reportaje, y un “tribunal revolucionario” revisó su caso en julio del 2007.

Incluso aunque la pareja decidió casarse hace siete años, las leyes del país sobre el matrimonio -que prohíben la unión de ex-musulmanes y miembros de otras religiones minoritarias- les impidieron la obtención del certificado de matrimonio.

El reportaje dice que la mujer nació en una familia cristiana asiria-iraní y el hombre era musulmán antes de convertirse al cristianismo para casarse.

El tribunal sentenció que tanto la mujer como el hombre eran Mortad, la descripción que corresponde a los que cometen apostasía por dejar el Islam.

Después de unos días, en septiembre de 2007, dos mujeres y 4 hombres, todos agentes, llegaron a la casa de la pareja y, después de enseñarles una carta oficial del tribunal, ejecutaron los latigazos allí mismo en su casa.

Según las últimas noticias están sufriendo una presión mental importante.

From Gallia Watch:

“Just before the arrests the police told me that I had to leave my home.” The wanderings begin. First the organization Ni Putes Ni Soumises gave her a studio apartment in Hauts-de-Seine. “Then, they told me to go to a small village near Grenoble.” She stayed there until September 2006. “Then I returned to my father’s house in Fontenay, in the project of les Larris. We had to leave very early in the morning. For weeks I didn’t go out. Someone tried to break into our home at night.” She then went to her mother-in-law’s, near Paris, then to a young workers hostel until January, when she was recognized by a former resident of les Larris. Another move. Today she lives somewhere in the Parisian suburbs, in a state of anxiety and bitterness. “I can’t stay here. We had let our guard down, but since the attack on my mother, I’m living again in fear. I have no news from anybody. I wrote to Sarkozy. The prefect of Val-de-Marne told me to apply for housing at city hall. This story has received much media attention, and then, they forgot about us, dropped us completely. We were promised an apartment, police and court protection, and I was even told I could change my name.”

According to Le Figaro, the gang rapes took place betweeen the end of 1999 and 2005. The raped girls have been accused of “having psyquiatric problems”, of “being easy women”, or even of “not having an stable life”. One of the girls has already psyquiatric problems but because of the gang rape.

As a result of the accusations, between 40 and 50 boys were detained. But most of the people considered that they were innocent and that they did not have had never any problem with women. The mistakes the raped girls made when describing them caused the freeing of some of them.

But the “youths” are now beginning to threaten them without any kind of restraint:

Last week her mother filed a complaint at the Fontenay police station after being attacked in the lobby of her building with a sharp object. “Now I know where you sleep, you and your w… daughter. Before the trial we’re going to f… both of you. And that’s just a sample of what you can expect,” the unknown assailant said to her.

1. Darfur update. “Another tactic used throughout this war that erupted in 2003, when rebels began attacking Sudanese military targets in Darfur, is rape - rape as a weapon of war. In Bredging refugee camp, I was able to meet a group of 30 women for an hour - and within that hour, five women described their own rapes, always gang rape. Rape to destroy not only the women, but their families and communities. One of the women was 35, the mother of eight children. When her husband learned that she had been raped repeatedly by Janjaweed fighters, he divorced her on the spot and she has been alone since. Another of the women - age 17 - was rejected by her fiance after her rape“.
2. Campaign of rapes in the West Bank against Jewish women. In the West Bank there is a campaign of rapes against Jewish women, according to the police who has detained already 6 suspects. The rapes are a vengeance to the “deeds of the IDF in Palestinian territories“. The women -more teenagers- were raped at bus stops or in designated hitchhiking points.

Interpretation: “The Western goods, and the land on which we stand, belong to Allah and the best between the men - his believers. The Western women, too and essentially belong to us -they are our future loot”.

We are your loot? Go to hell, you bastards! …

2. But not only women suffer this: From My Flanders Fields: Muslims gang rape and beat a school boy and film it and attempt to blackmail him. A paediatrician at Derby Children’s Hospital who examined him described it as “the most serious case of multiple physical and sexual assault” she had ever seen. His attacker, Mohammed Naseem, now 21, of Byron Street, Derby, was put on the sex offenders’ register for life. Naseem pleaded guilty to two charges of rape and two of sexual assault by penetration.Dawn Pritchard, prosecuting, said the boy was first ordered to carry out a sex act on himself and was filmed as he did this. He was told he would have to pay £5,000 or his mother would be killed. He was forced to carry out sex acts on the others, who then abused him.
3. I am a woman hear me roar or the Disgusting Underbelly of the Beast @VH: “THE nation’s most senior Muslim cleric (Al Hilali) has blamed immodestly dressed women who don’t wear Islamic headdress for being preyed on by men and likened them to abandoned “meat” that attracts voracious animals”. Of course, Al Hilali, you wouldn’t attrack a voracious animal, even if you pose nude. Uaghhhhhh!

In Oriental Timor, the UN (link in Spanish, below) said that rape was used as a weapon by Indonesian army (Muslim) against the Timorese women (Oriental Timor is overwhelmingly Christian-Catholic): “The rapes, the sexual slaveness and the sexual violence were tools used as a part of the campaign which had as objective to terrorize, give sensation of lack of power and hope to the independence supporters”.

Y Sarkozy ejem… pues bueno, silbando el puente del Río Quai :

“Justo después de los arrestos la policía me informó de que tenía que dejar mi casa”. Comenzó el vagabundeo. primero la organización “Ni putas ni sumisas” le dio un apartamento en Hauts-de-Seine. “Después, me dijeron que debía irme a una ciudad pequeña cerca de Grenoble”. Estuvo allí hasta Septiembre 2006. “Entonces, volví a la casa de mi padre en Fontenay, en el proyecto de los Larris. Tuvimos que irnos muy pronto por la mañana. Durante semanas no salí. Alguien intentó entrar en nuestra casa por la noche.” Después fue a la casa de su suegra, cera de París, después a un hostal de trabajadores jóvenes hasta enero, cuando fue reconocida por un residente antiguo de Les Harris. Otro cambio. Hoy vive en algún sitio de los suburbios de París, en un estado de ansiedad y amargura. “No puedo seguir aquí. Habíamos bajado la guardia, pero cuando mi madre fue atacada de nuevo, volví a sentir miedo. No tengo noticias de nadie. Escribí a Sarkozy. El prefecto de Val-de-Marne me dijo que pidiera una casa al ayuntamiento. Esta historia tuvo mucha repercusión en los medios pero después, se olvidaron de nosotros, nos abandonaron completamente. Nos prometieron un apartamento, policía y protección judicial y me dijeron que incluso podía cambiarme el nombre.”

Según Le Figaro, las violaciones en grupo tuvieron lugar entre el final de 1999 y 2005. Las chicas violadas han sido acusadas de “problemas psiquiátricos”, de “ser fáciles” o de “no tener una vida estable”. Una de las chicas es cierto que tiene problemas psicológicos pero como consecuencia de las violaciones.

Como resultado de las acusaciones entre 40 y 50 chicos fueron detenidos. Pero la mayoría de la gente consideró que eran inocentes y que no habían tenido nunca ningún problema con las mujeres. Los errores que las chicas cometieron al describir todo ello, dieron lugar a que a algunos los soltaran.

Pero, si antes se limitaron a espiar a las chicas, ahora, los “jóvenes” están pasando a las amenazas:

La pasada semana su madre denunció ante la comisaría de policía de Fontenay que había sido atacada en el portal de su edificio con un objeto afilado. “Ahora sé dónde dormís, tú y tu p*ta hija. Antes del juicio os vamos a j*der a ambas. Y eso es sólo un ejemplo de lo que podeis esperar,” le dijo el asaltante desconocido.

Many Lebanese say another civil war — like the 15-year one that started in 1975 — is imminent and that the most dangerous flash points are within the divided Christian community.Christian youth are signing up for militant factions in the greatest numbers since the end of the civil war, spray painting nationalist symbols on walls and tattooing them on their skin, and proclaiming their willingness to fight in a new civil war — in particular, against fellow Christians.“When the war begins, I’ll be the first one in it,” said Fadil Abbas, 30, flexing his biceps in Shadow Tattoo as an artist etched a cross onto his shoulder. “I want everyone to know I am a Christian and I am ready to fight.”The struggle is over who gets to be the next president, a post reserved for a Christian under Lebanon’s Constitution, and which must be filled by the end of November.
But the larger question — one that is prompting rival Christian factions to threaten war — is whether Lebanese Christians must accept their minority status and get along with the Muslim majority (the choice of the popular Gen. Michel Aoun) or whether Christians should insist on special privileges (¡! oh, yeah and all the people who are Lebanese in exile, precisely because of the civil war, and the invasion of Hizbollah, those account for nothing right??) no matter what their share of the population (the position of veteran civil war factions like the Phalange and the Lebanese Forces).The government dedicated an extraordinary cabinet session in September to reports that Christian factions had opened militia training camps in the mountains. The police have arrested two groups of Christians allegedly linked to General Aoun’s party — the most recent on Thursday — and accused them of illegal weapons training. One group said that they were on a picnic and the other that they were “playing.” General Aoun said his followers keep only “personal weapons,” like most Lebanese.

Christian Split in Lebanon Raises Specter of Civil War - New York Times
As you can see, the NYT is just confirming once again its partiality against Christians and for Muslims. How on earth it can write an entire article about the re-arming of Christian groups which would act in case of an hypothetical civil war, when they have Hizbollah that it’s armed now?

Hezbollah possesses the Katyusha-122 rocket, which has a range of 29 kilometres (18 miles) and carries a 15 kilo (33 pound) warhead. Hezbollah also possesses about 100 long-range missiles. They include the Iranian-made Fajr-3 and Fajr-5, the latter with a range of 75 kilometres, enabling it to strike the Israeli port of Haifa, and the Zelzal-1 with an estimated 150-kilometre range, which can reach Tel Aviv. Fajr-3 missiles have a range of 40 kilometres, and a 45 kilo warhead, and Fajr-5 missiles, which extend to 72 kilometres, also hold 45 kilo warheads.^[122]

According to various reports, Hezbollah is armed with some anti-tank guided missiles. Namely the Russian-made AT-3 Sagger, AT-4 Spigot, AT-5 Spandrel, AT-13 Saxhorn-2 ‘Metis-M’, ??-14 Spriggan ‘Kornet’; Iranian-made Ra’ad (version of AT-3 Sagger), Towsan (version of AT-5 Spandrel), Toophan (version of BGM-71 TOW); and European-made MILAN missiles. These weapons have been used against IDF soldiers, causing much of the deaths during the 2006 Lebanon War.^[123]

For air defence, Hezbollah possesses some anti-aircraft weapons, including the ZU-23 artillery and man-portable shoulder-fired SA-7 and SA-18 surface-to-air missile (SAM).^[124] One of the most effective weapons deployed by Hezbollah has been the C-802 anti-ship missile, a variant of the Chinese Silkworm missile.^[125]

During the 2006 Lebanon War, Hezbollah fired 3,970 rockets into Northern Israel in the course of a month, killing 43 Israeli civilians.^[126] Hezbollah officials have stated that the group has recovered fully from the previous war; during the Divine Victory rally, held shortly after the cease-fire, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah declared that the group has “more than 20,000 rockets available”.^[127] He also spoke in retrospect of the war, saying “Tel Aviv or elsewhere, we were certain that we could reach any corner or spot in occupied Palestine and now we are certain that we can reach them.”^[128] Nasrallah has also implied that Hezbollah’s rocket force became stronger in the months following the 2006 Lebanon War than it had been during the war itself.^[129]

More here: who are the suppliers?

According to the United States, Iran has provided weapons to Hezbollah as well as provided training and funding. In addition, Syria has permitted Iran to use Damascus as a transshipment point to supply Hezbollah.^[21] There are also reports that Syria itself has supplied Hezbollah with BM-27 220mm rockets.^[13]

In another report, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has helped build Hezbollah’s underground storerooms in the Bekaa Valley to hold huge amounts of missiles and ammunition. Hezbollah’s missile force includes some 200 technicians and experts trained in Iran.^[22] The Zelzal-2 rockets require expertise to aim and launch effectively, and Hezbollah may require direct support from Iranian Revolutionary Guards to operate the rockets.^[12]

Russia has denied sending anti-tank weapons to Hizbollah.

Israel’s Haaretz daily quoted intelligence sources Sunday as saying that Israel’s ground troops casualties mostly resulted from special anti-tank units of Hizbollah using modern Russian-made RPG-29 that had been sold by Moscow to the Syrians and then transferred to the organization.

“Such insinuations are a source of bewilderment in Moscow, to say the least,” Mikhail Kamynin said. “If there are any questions raised, they can be addressed through normal diplomatic channels. So far we have had no such inquiries, and no proof has been presented.”

Hizbollah ship attack shows Iran weapons link. July 14th, 2006.

Hizbollah’s spectacular rocket attack on an Israeli warship is proof of what Hizbollah has claimed for several years — it has an array of weapons that could trouble the Middle East’s mightiest army.
And with it proof is emerging of what many widely suspected: Iran had stepped up its arms shipments to the Shi’ite Muslim group both in terms of quality and quantity.
An Israeli military source said on Saturday that an Iranian-made C802 radar-guided land-to-sea missile with a range of 60 miles (95 km) hit and badly damaged the ship. Two missiles were fired, the other sank an Egyptian merchant ship, the source said.
“This is sophisticated weaponry. This is advanced weaponry being supplied by one terrorist state (Iran) to another,” the source said.

Oh, yeah, but the really interesting are… the Christians….

The moment can’t be worse as:

The firing of a long-range Katyusha rocket into Israel from Gaza on Sunday has ratcheted up concerns here for the increased threat of missiles against the Jewish state.
The weapon of choice of Palestinian militants in Gaza has been the Kassam rocket, which has relatively poor aim and short range, but has nonetheless caused damage and killed 14 Israelis and injured hundreds more, according to an Israeli government tally.
The Katyusha rocket is the type of weapon that was used by Hizbullah in Lebanon to hit Israeli cities during last year’s war. Unguided but better constructed, it has twice the range – about 12 miles – and the potential to carry about twice the payload, missile experts here say.
The Katyusha was fired at the southern town of Netivot, about seven miles east of Gaza. It landed in an open space, doing minimal damage. The Popular Resistance Committee, a Palestinian militant group in Gaza that includes Hamas, claimed responsibility for the Katyusha attack.

So, what does this mean? Who is giving Hizbollah these missiles?

But EU is worried about the “humanitarian crisis” in Gaza, and blames Israel for it:

One British MEP, Chris Davies, said it should be Israel and not EU taxpayers who should foot the bill to solve the Palestinian humanitarian crisis.
“What does it have to do with the EU? Gaza is an Israeli prison camp. It is the Israelis who should be responsible. They are the ones that keep them in misery,” said Davis.

Hmm, yeah, and what about terrorism, Mr Davies? Do I have to remember you have kept for 38 years the British Army in Northern Ireland to prevent terrorist acts? Something wise to do, I must add. So you can do it, but others cannot defend themselves? If it’s British is OK, but if it’s an Israeli idea, then it’s bad? Or what?

NYT was very worried yesterday about the Israeli justification to bomb Syria a month ago. Today it says “Syria tells journalists Israeli raid did not occur“. But:

Israel has been unusually quiet about the attack on Sept. 6 and has effectively imposed a news blackout about it. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli opposition leader, on Sept. 19 became the first public figure in Israel to acknowledge that an attack had even taken place. Some Israeli officials have said, though not publicly, that the raid hit a nuclear-related facility that North Korea was helping to equip, but they have not specified where.

EL NYT en su línea. Tenemos a los terroristas de Hizbolá, armados hasta los dientes con misiles anti-tanque, tierra-aire y tierra-mar (que dañaron gravemente un barco israelí en 2005)… y escribe un artículo entero diciendo que, como hay espectros de una nueva guerra civil en marcha, los cristianos están empezando a sumarse a facciones armadas para enfrentarse a ellos. Si la misión de la ONU hubiera cumplido con lo que prometió (desarmar a Hizbolá) no habría necesidad de guerra civil. Pero como la ONU no quiere reconocer que, eliminado/reducido Hizbolá, se habrían acabado muchos de los problemas de la región (quedarían Hamas y Al-Fatah), no se le dio a la misión ese objetivo como prioritario.
Al final, si se desata la guerra, tendrán la culpa los cristianos por no obedecer a Hizbolá.
El Katiusha: un arma rudimentaria y aterradora. (guerra del 2006)

Un problema clave es el arsenal en manos de Hezbollah. Al comienzo de la guerra, se estimaba que tenía por lo menos 12.000 cohetes de corto alcance -capaces de llegar a unos 20 kilómetros de distancia- que le fueron provistos por Siria e Irán. Si la cifra es cierta, todavía le quedan por lo menos 9000.
Pero lo que cuenta no es sólo su número, sino sus características. […] Estos cohetes pueden ser disparados rápidamente sin grandes preparativos. Basta con que un militante se esconda dentro de una casa, coloque un trípode y dispare. A veces, hasta por control remoto. “Puede disparar por un sistema de tiro retardado o por telecomando -dice el general Dayan-, mientras que las coordenadas para el blanco pueden ser transmitidas por teléfono o por mensaje de texto.”
No se requiere casi nada especial antes del disparo, a diferencia de lo que ocurre con los cohetes de mayor alcance -como los que llegan a Haifa-, que necesitan de otros elementos para ser lanzados.
Un tema clave en esta guerra es que Israel está lidiando con una organización que ataca desde concentraciones civiles, que ha construido búnkeres bajo viviendas de la población y que dispara desde escuelas, junto a posiciones de la ONU y aldeas habitadas.
Israel se impone limitaciones en sus ataques contra blancos de Hezbollah. A pesar de las duras críticas de las que ha sido objeto desde diferentes sectores de la comunidad internacional, si hubiera utilizado todo su poderío aéreo en territorio libanés, el número de bajas civiles se contaría por miles y la destrucción sería de dimensiones mucho mayores.

First, it was the giant Bhuddas, then it was another Bhudda. And now it is Cyrus the Great.

For 2,500 years, the tomb of Cyrus the Great has stood on the plain at Pasargadae, in southern Iran, a simple but dignified monument to a king revered as the founder of the mighty Persian empire. But some fear the dam and reservoir pose a threat to the ancient structure.

They say the project may increase humidity in the arid area near the city of Shiraz, which they believe could damage the limestone mausoleum.

That may seem far-fetched — officials dismiss it — but the feud highlights deep cultural fault lines in attitudes toward the Islamic Republic’s wealth of pre-Islamic relics.

“This is an illegal project which will harm our historical heritage,” said Mohammad Ali Dadkhah , a lawyer campaigning against the Sivand Dam.

He accuses the authorities of not paying enough attention to sites dating from before the Arab Muslim invasion of what is now Iran in the seventh century: “They don’t care about pre-Islamic history.”

We have to remember that when Egypt built the Aswan dam, it asked for international help to protect the various temples that were situated in the surroundings, among others Abu Simbel. Spain helped Egypt back then, and that’s why Madrid has today the Temple of Debod.

When is UNESCO going to protest?

There is even a page calling for international defense of the archaeological sites of the Pasargade. h/t Stefania, who has also blogged about the protests people have made in Iran about this artistic crime. In her webpage I have found this documentary, which shows the truth about the Great Cyrus, the same king which freed the Jews from Babilonia and let them return to the Promised Land:

Cyrus (580-529 BC) was the first Achaemenid Emperor. He founded Persia by uniting the two original Iranian Tribes- the Medes and the Persians. Although he was known to be a great conqueror, who at one point controlled one of the greatest Empires ever seen, he is best remembered for his unprecedented tolerance and magnanimous attitude towards those he defeated. Upon his victory over the Medes, he founded a government for his new kingdom, incorporating both Median and Persian nobles as civilian officials. The conquest of Asia Minor completed, he led his armies to the eastern frontiers. Hyrcania and Parthia were already part of the Median Kingdom. Further east, he conquered Drangiana, Arachosia, Margiana and Bactria. After crossing the Oxus, he reached the Jaxartes, where he built fortified towns with the object of defending the farthest frontier of his kingdom against nomadic tribes of Central Asia.
The victories to the east led him again to the west and sounded the hour for attack on Babylon and Egypt. When he conquered Babylon, he did so to cheers from the Jewish Community, who welcomed him as a liberator- he allowed the Jews to return to the promised Land. He showed great forbearance and respect towards the religious beliefs and cultural traditions of other races. These qualities earned him the respect and homage of all the people over whom he ruled

Desde hace 2.500 años la tumba de Ciro el Grande se conserva en el valle de Pasargarde, al sur de Irán. Pero se va a construir una presa y el proyecto puede incrementar la humedad en el monumento hecho de piedra caliza. Mohammad Ali Dadkhah, un abogado que está actuando contra la construcción de la Presa de Sivand, ha calificado al proyecto como de “ilegal que dañará nuestra herencia cultural“. Además, ha acusado a las autoridades de no prestar mucha atención a los monumentos y lugares históricos que datan de antes de la invasión árabe-musulmana: “No les importa la historia pre-islámica“.

Hay que recordar que cuando Egipto hizo la presa de Assuan, pidió ayuda internacional para proteger los múltiples templos que se encontraban en sus alrededores, entre otros, los de Abu Simbel. España prestó ayuda a Egipto y por eso Madrid tiene hoy el Templo de Debod -derecha-.

Por supuesto, la UNESCO está más callada que una muerta.

A pesar de ello, los iraníes llevan protestando esta destrucción de su patrimonio cultural desde hace tiempo sin que por supuesto haya ningún tipo de reacción en los medios occidentales, tan interesados sin embargo cuando hay un monumento musulmán en ruinas. Hay incluso una página que denuncia la destrucción de este patrimonio cultural, único en el mundo y que recuerda al gran Imperio persa, antes de que Alejandro Magno lo conquistara.

Ciro el Grande fue el primer emperador aqueménida. Unificó a los medos y a los persas. Fue un gran conquistador y controló el imperio más grande de su tiempo, pero, a la vez, se le recuerda por su magnanimidad con los vencidos y por su respeto hacia los que tenían otras creencias. Fue el que dejó a los judíos, presos en Babilonia desde Nabucodonosor, volver a la Tierra Prometida.

Yesterday one of the four defendants in a terror case in Odense, Denmark’s third largest city, revealed in court that in the summer of 2006 a fellow conspirator had suggested building a remote-controlled car bomb and driving it into my private home in order to kill me.

The reason: the publication of 12 cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed in my newspaper Jyllands-Posten.”It was a bit of a joke, and we laughed a little, though I know that it wasn’t a laughing matter,” the defendant said.

Joke or no joke, the defendant acknowledged that in fact two men from the cell had a bit earlier detonated a bomb in a soccer field using a cell phone as the remote control. The purpose of this activity was to excercise their ”craft.” [yeah, I’m laughing heartedly about this… ].

The defendant is a 34-year-old Danish-born man who converted to Islam. He has provided the police with a lot of compromising information about the other three members of the cell. The convert told the police that AK, a 22 year old man born in Iraq, travelled to his home country in 2005 to become a suicide terrorist. The young man insists that he went to shoot a documentary.

Atención que el asunto de las caricaturas de Mahoma todavía sigue dando noticias.
Flemming Rose, el editor del Afterposten que autorizó la publicación de las famosas viñetas de Mahoma, ha descubierto que querían matarle dentro de su casa, volándosela con un coche bomba controlado a distancia.
Así lo ha declarado uno de los acusados en un procedimiento, diciendo que “bueno, era una broma, nos reímos un rato”. Hmm, qué sentido del humor tan maravilloso… sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que habían probado estallar una bomba en un campo de fútbol usando un teléfono móvil como control remoto (no veais qué gracia me hace ).
El acusado es un joven danés de 34 años, converso al Islam, que ha colaborado con la policía, diciéndoles entre otras cosas, que otro acusado, un hombre de 22 años nacido en Irak, se fue allí a ser terrorista suicida en 2005. El joven insiste que fue a grabar un documental.Related news: Barclays va a sacar un fondo para musulmanes de acuerd con la Sharia.

En un discurso pronunciado en la Universidad de Teherán con motivo de la celebración en Irán del “Día de Al-Quds” (Jerusalén, en árabe) para protestar contra la presencia israelí en la ciudad santa, el presidente Mahmud Ahmadineyad cuestionó la legitimidad del Estado de Israel y criticó a los países occidentales por querer ocultar “la verdad sobre los crímenes de este país”.
En referencia al Holocausto judío, que desde hace años ha venido cuestionando, Ahmadineyad se pregunta: “¿Por que no permitís descifrar la ‘caja negra’ de la Segunda Guerra Mundial?”. Enseguida, dijo que “vamos a ver qué es lo que pasó, si se mató a alguien quién lo hizo y quién tenía la culpa. Vamos a ver el papel de otras naciones en este asunto”.
El presidente iraní añadió que “los propios europeos no aguantan la presencia de los sionistas en sus países y quieren imponerlos a otros pueblos”. Propuso sarcásticamente que los estados occidentales concedan a los israelíes otro lugar donde construir un estado y señaló como candidatos a “los amplios territorios de Alaska o Canadá para que los israelíes levanten su país”. Miles de habitantes de las principales ciudades iraníes han salido a las calles en manifestaciones para conmemorar el “Día de Al-Quds”. Los manifestantes en Teherán corearon eslóganes como “muerte a EEUU” y “muerte a Israel” y quemaron banderas de estos dos países durante la protesta.

Al mismo tiempo las fuerzas británicas detuvieron dos camiones procedentes de Irán en Afganistán, en los que se transportaban 50 bombas para poner en los lados de las carreteras (roadside) y temporizadores. El mando aliado en Afganistán considera que Irán sigue mandando armas a los talibanes.
Por último, Irán ha terminado un nuevo acuerdo de mil millones de dólares con Siria.

En cuanto a las noticias sobre los DDHH en Irán, una mujer acusada de adulterio y madre de tres hijos (de la que ya hablé aquí) va a ser lapidada. Kamangir está pidiendo que los bloggers ayuden. Así que, los que podais, postead algo sobre ella, para correr la voz. Cuanta más gente lo sepa, como siempre, mejor.

He added that “Iran is no longer willing to discuss its undeniable right to nuclear energy” - and he described the nuclear programme as a great victory for Iran.
At the same time, Iran is again accused of supplying weapons to the Talibans, this time it is roadside bombs.

US Army General Dan McNeill, the commander of Nato forces in Afghanistan, said that the discovery of more than 50 roadside bombs and timers in lorries crossing the border from Iran last month proves that Iran’s Quds Revolutionary Guards are actively supporting the Taliban.

The allegation will add to fears that the escalating war of words between Iran and the West could end in armed conflict between the two.

British special forces, believed to be from the Special Boat Service, played a prominent role in tracking and intercepting two lorries that crossed from Iran into Afghanistan’s Farah Province on Sept 5.

At the same time, Iran has signed a billion dollar gas deal with Syria.

Regarding HR abuses, a woman, mother of three, is going to be stoned, accused of having sex with someone in a video. The man has get over it with 100 lashes. Kamangir is asking for help.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Women condemn Turkey constitution

Women’s groups in Turkey have condemned a new draft constitution, saying it sets the country back years in terms of gender equality.A new constitution is being prepared to replace the current one, introduced after the military coup of 1980.

The document describes women as a vulnerable group needing protection.

The proposed constitution has already sparked fierce debate with a clause to allow women to attend university wearing the Islamic headscarf.

Speaking on Tuesday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan assured critics the new draft constitution will reflect the values and needs of all groups of society.

Oh, no, but then, Sarko continues demanding a strong partnership in the EU, whatever he said in the electoral campaign:

A close association implies an alliance, with attendant loyalties and military implications.

Hmm, yeah, that’s wonderful…

So after his visit to USA and his photos holding hands in a lovable way to Bolivian Evo and his embrace with Venezuelan Chávez , Aggggggmi returns as a hero to Iran. From Gateway Pundit:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad returned home a hero after his very successful lecture at Columbia University and after thrashing the United States and the West at the United Nations.
Hero Mahmoud returns to Tehran…

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad returns home a hero after his brave stand at Columbia University.

The leaders of the Iranian Parliament (Majlis) met the brave orator at the airport.

(ISNA)

Read it all… (no, I am not going to do a very easy joke with the distance of Aggggmi’s hands, although it could be easily done, after his “lovable” pose with Evo ).

That’s not all. From Kamagir.net:

The president said, while recognizing people’s concerns, that the nation should attend mosques to thank Allah for this glorious victory.

So now, in his imagination, being called a “petty and cruel dictator” is a glorious victory. This man has a problem with perception… and with other things (don’t get angry with me, Cruzcampo but do not deny me that this man is not very well… psychologically I mean…).

Meanwhile, he has said that “America brought 9/11 to themselves“. Making friends, eh? But that’s not all:

The Iranian parliament meanwhile has declared the US armed forces and CIA as “terrorist organizations” in a childish tit-for-tat over our branding of the terrorist Quds forces as terrorists.

Bwahahahaha!!! Well, I’m sure that some of Hollywood star would agree (remember George Clooney and Syriana -en español aquí-?) but that certainly doesn’t mean it is really a terrorist organization…

Caroline Glick writes about Iran’s overlooked message

[T]here is a reason that the West ignores the dangers facing it. The Western media ignored Ahmadinejad’s message, just as it has insistently ignored the messages of bin Laden and Fatah throughout the years, because Westerners have a hard time believing that anyone would want to abide by the Islamic world view which denies mankind’s desire for freedom.

And meanwhile:

A court in the Iran’s second largest city, Mashad, has sentenced to death by stoning a mother-of-three for having an extra-marital affair, an Iranian newspaper reported Friday.

The daily Quds said the married woman’s lover had confessed to having had sex with her and that the court sentenced him to 100 lashes.

There are currently eight women in Iranian prisons waiting to be executed by stoning, a practice usually reserved for those found guilty of adultery according to the Islamic republic’s laws.

Well, there are no homosexuals in Iran, the women’s rights are respected… How many more lies? Is he going to say that he has a beautiful haircut too?

And certainly there is also equality: the woman is going to be STONED to death, while he has been sentenced to 100 lashes. We have seen a lot of images from stoning but very few from lashes’ sentences. This one is from the sentence of 80 lashes because of abusing alcohol and having extramarital sexual relations:

Saeed Ghanbari receives 80 lashes for abusing alcohol and having sex outside marriage.

From Plateau:

The real shots in Iran are called by the ‘inner circle’ ruling Mullahs, and, ultimately, by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Ahmadinejad is a puppet and the front-man. Iran is not a Democracy. It is a Theocracy with semblance of Democracy. Even if 20% of the population voted for Ahmadinejad, the supreme leader Ali Khamenei, categorically, determines and approves of those who can or cannot run as candidates for presidency. Ahmadinejad was elevated and chosen, by Khamenei, for the presidency in Iran.

Nevertheless, Ahmadinejad is a deceiver - the same applies to Rafsanjani, Khatami and a whole host of other IR officials, who continue to liaise with the West. The difference: some - such as Rafsanjani and Khatami - are much more “diplomatic” than Ahmadinejad.

Or much more hypocrites….

_________________________

Hmm, así que después de su tour por América -incluyendo sus fotos haciendo manitas con Evo -, Agggmi ha vuelto a Irán, y ha sido tratado como un héroe. El “presidente” iraní incluso dijo a la nación que, en vez de irle a recibir al aeropuerto, “debían ir a las mezquitas a dar gracias a Alá por su maravillosa victoria“.

O sea, que, según Agggggmi, que a uno le llamen “mezquino y cruel dictador” es una maravillosa victoria. A mí me da que, como todos las personas crueles y frías con el dolor ajeno, este señor tiene un problema psicológico grave…

Asimismo, el hombre que quería visitar la Zona Cero de Manhattan, ha dicho que “América se buscó el que pasara el 11/S“. Francamente no sé qué quería celebrar en la zona. ¿O sí? (Piensa mal y aún te quedarás corto). Y al mismo tiempo, el Parlamento iraní ha declarado que las Fuerzas Armadas de EEUU y la CIA son “organizaciones terroristas“, en “represalia” por la calificación de las fuerzas “Quds” como terroristas por EEUU.

Claro que en esto habría artistas de Jolivú que les darían la razón.

Por supuesto, como ya dijo que no había homosexuales en Irán -y lo que pasa es que, o los han matado o están en puestos muy altos del Gobierno, como leí el otro día que puso un gracioso-, ahora va a convencernos bien de que a las mujeres no se las persigue en Irán y se respeta sus derechos: una mujer casada y madre de tres hijos va a ser lapidada por tener una relación extra-matrimonial. Pero claro, es que al hombre, mitad de la relación extra-matrimonial lo han sentenciado a 100 latigazos. Considerando que con 80 te pueden matar, vemos que los derechos de las mujeres están tan respetados como los de los hombres…. O sea, NADA.

La foto que vemos arriba es del Daily Mail de este verano. El hombre, al que tienen breada la espalda a latigazos, es Saeed Ghambari, acusado de “abusar del alcohol y de mantener relaciones sexuales fuera del matrimonio” (ya veo algunos de “my acquaintance” cambiando su idea del Islam en general y de Irán en particular de inmediato…. ). Me interesan especialmente los dos verdugos. ¿A que asemejan esos verdugos de la Edad Media, crueles hasta el tuétano, a los que les gustaba torturar a todos los pobres infelices que caían en sus manos? Parece que están diciendo “te desollaré vivo aunque sea lo último que haga“.

La noticia dice que “le sujetaron los brazos y las piernas para que no pudiera irse“. No me extraña que quisiera. Me duele la espalda a mí sólo de ver la foto…

Pero como dice Plateau, Aggggggmi es lo mismo que Jatamí (el del “Diálogo de las Civilizaciones” Ehhh, no, con ciertas personas los abrazos no: “Narices perderás y aún dientes si te dejas besar de ciertas gentes“) o Rafsanjani, pero lo que pasa es que estos son más diplomáticos. O más hipócritas aún.

Detienen en Argelia al fundador del Grupo Salafista para la Predicación y el Combate | elmundo.es

El fundador de la banda terrorista argelina Grupo Salafista para la Predicación y el Combate (GSPC), Hasan Habtab, ha sido detenido por la policía, según informa el diario árabe ‘Al Hayat’.El diario, el más prestigioso del mundo árabe, cita a “fuentes informadas” en su nota fechada en Londres, que aseguraron que Hatab, uno de los terroristas más buscados de Argelia, fue arrestado en el barrio de Husein de Argel el pasado día 22, cuando se encontraba celebrando la ruptura del ayuno en Ramadán.

La fuente indicó que Hatab se encontraba en compañía de algunos ex compañeros del GSPC que han abandonado las armas.

El GSPC aglutinó a los terroristas en activo procedentes del Ejército Islámico de Salvación y del Grupo Islámico Armado, convirtiéndose en el grupo terrorista más temido por el Estado argelino.

Recientemente anunció su fusión con Al Qaeda y la formación de una rama magrebí de esta última organización llamada Al Qaeda en el Magreb Islámico, que opera en el norte de África y algunos países subsharianos.

Esto son buenas noticias, incluso después de señalar la imbecilidad de los diplomáticos USA en sus negociaciones con Argelia.

Opposition group: Iran building new clandestine nuclear facility | Jerusalem Post

An Iranian resistance group claimed Thursday that Iran is constructing a secret, new underground military nuclear facility near its Natanz uranium enrichment plant.The claim, made by the National Council of Resistance of Iran at a Paris news conference, could not be independently verified. The group said it has passed its information, which it said came from sources inside Iran, to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna, Austria, but has so far not received a response.

The opposition group claimed that the site is 5 kilometers (3 miles) south of the Natanz plant, located under a mountain called Siah Kooh, which it said would help protect it from any air strike. It said the site includes two tunnels with entrances 6 meters (20 feet) in diameter and that a third tunnel links the alleged facility to Natanz.

También han añadido que han comunicado la denuncia a la AIEA pero que no han recibido contestación…
