Iraqi paper claims Iranians fighting there
2006-05-11
Hard to say how true the claims are - Iraqi media are no different than anyone else's and spin news as they see fit. Interesting story though, even if only part truth.
BAGHDAD, May 10 (UPI) -- An Iraqi daily is claiming that a "staggeringly high" proportion of foreign jihadis arrested in Iraq are Iranian. Iran Focus reported on May 9 that al-Taji, a newspaper with close connections to the Kurdistan Democratic Party Massoud Barzani, noted that 1,577 of the 1,972 jihadis arrested since last May were Iranians. Al-Taji, quoting a commander of the Iraqi border guard speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the other foreign militants arrested included nine Nigerians, four Indians, 364 Afghanis, two Pakistanis and one Russian citizen from Dagestan in the northern Caucasus.
The Afghan count seems a bit high and I don't see any Saudis on the list
The Bush administration has consistently maintained that Iran is covertly sending fighters into neighboring Iraq, a charge that Iran has repeatedly denied. Iran Focus is linked to opponents of the Tehran regime.

In an effort to restore diplomatic relations frayed in the aftermath of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, Iran has appointed an ambassador to Iraq for the first time since the conflict. The Islamic Republic News Agency reported that Hasan Kazemi Qomi presented his credentials to Iraqi president Jalal Talabani in the capital Baghdad on Tuesday.

#12  Why does your god keep sending earthquakes to destroy Iran and Pakistan, George Bush to conquer Afghanistan and Iraq, Israel to destroy the armies of the Arabs? Why do the Lions of Islam go to Iraq, only to evaporate from the face of the earth in their tens of thousands? I don't think your god likes you very much, Mr. Get Down. And if you try to take Western women as you take your sisters and your daughters, you will find they are very good with kitchen knives and fingernails. And then you won't want any women anymore, nor even that beautiful she-goat belonging to your uncle.

We have weapons beyond your capability to dream of, and men and women strong enough to wield them to destroy you so that your god won't even be able to find the dust of which you were made. Push us hard enough, and even the dust your babies play in will be turned to glass; there will be no Qur'ans left to read, nor eyes to read them with, and none throughout the world will remain who starts his letters with, "In the name of God and his prophet Mohammed." If that is your wish, that you and your children and your seed to the last generation are destroyed, and none are left to worship your god even when he calls at the End of Days, then keep pushing.

#8  In the Name of God

How DARE YOU talk to me like that! You swine eater and "boo boo in underwear" creature. Don't you know your level in humanity? You a polytheist-a "to be dhimmi". I am a Muslim, a Monotheist. I am better than you. It angers me that a "to be dhimmi" can talk with such freedom. It angers me that he can express his opinions freely and talk to me like this. It angers me that he can be free. But very soon we will put you in your place. Remember who we are. We were your masters only a few hundreds years ago. And we are coming back to take our rightful place. You will live under the caliphate. You will submit, God willing, very soon, you lowly polytheist!

#3  In the Name of God

Today's diary (All rights reserved. This article may be reprinted for educational use only. "Get down, dhimmi!" is a registered trade mark of the Muslim nation):

I must admit I am brimming with joy at the deaths of the American and British soldiers yesterday. Popcorn time! Add some (Non-Danish) butter please. Thanks. May these disbelievers enjoy their torture in the grave. I am so exited to live in these times. The Muslims are very soon going to conquer the whole world and impose the Sharia law, God willing. You know we Muslims were about to over run all of Europe. We reached Germany from the West and France from the south. We lost one battle in France after which, unfortunately, our Sultan decided to stay content with his conquest of Spain. He should have re-attacked the French. Perhaps all of Europe would have then been either Muslim or dhimmi by now. The Muslim victories today, though small, are giving me renewed hope. The Sharia will be the law of the world, God willing. Here is my plan for the future: Britain will be called the United Caliphate of Britain; America, the United States of Islam. If you don't accept Islam, you must live as a dhimmi. If you refuse to live as a dhimmi, you will be executed. The following jobs will be open for dhimmis in the United Caliphate of Britain and the United States of Islam: Window washers (skyscrapers only). Shoe shiners (you must be able to stay in a low position for a long time). Sweeper (public toilets). Hospital waste collector. Vet. Zookeeper. Sewage treatment worker. Bell boy. Bomb disposal squad (Must work under heavily armed Muslim supervision). Worker in mental hospital. Beggar. (Your zonal area for begging will be allocated to you.) Nuclear Waste disposer (Must work under heavily armed Muslim supervision). For your men:Toilet cleaner for the toilets belonging to Muslim male servants. For your women: Toilet cleaner for the toilets of Muslim maids. All jobs require a Bachelor's degree (minimum). Arabic (spoken and written) is a pre-requisite for all jobs. Farsi and Urdu speakers will have an edge. Other job opportunities may be posted later. In the mean time, unemployed dhimmis will be given fair handouts by the caliphate.
You might ask why you must be a second class citizen in an Islamic state or why you don't have the same rights as Muslims. This is because you are (excuse me) inferior; spiritually, morally and physically. How is that you might ask? Read on...

Spiritually.
You believe that a man is God i.e. Jesus Christ (God's peace and blessings be upon him.) This is, well, intellectually not much "higher" than saying that a cow is god (Hindus). I mean both man and cow are mammals. That doesn't make you much brighter than a cow worshipper. (Sorry to say). We Muslims believe that God is neither a man nor a cow. He is Unique; One of a kind. You cannot imagine or visualize Him. He is outside the Universe which He created and controls. The Universe is to Him is like a tiny mustard seed in your hand. Wow! What a creed we've got! -a creed that can and will conquer the entire world, God willing!

Morally
You have no shame (or very, very little). Just take a look at your leaders' behaviours. When Bush meets Blair, they shake the hands of each others' wife. They even kiss the others' wife. And they switch wives as they walk in public. Don't they have any shame, any jealousy? If any other man even stares at my wife, I'll floor him with one punch. When you take showers in gyms or locker room areas you don't mind other men looking at your naked body. Don't you have any shyness? Or are you just like animals?

Physically.
You are not clean. When you clean your behinds after defecation, you don't use water. You use tissue paper. Yuck. So you have feces clinging to your underwear. Yuck. You may use your left hand to eat, the same hand you clean your feces with. Yuck! You don't shave your armpits and pubes. You use deodarant to make them smell good; smelly, unclean and hairy armpits covered up with perfume. Yuck. When you finish urinating you don't douse your penis with water and you urinate standing up! Yuck; urine splatter on your pants. You keep dogs for pets. Yuck. Dogs don't have body pores, so they don't sweat. Therefore all their bodily excretions come out on their tongues. And they lick you. Yuck. You eat swine (ham and pork.) A swine will eat anything-dung, feces, garbage...it will drink urine! Yuck. And you eat that animal! They say, "you are what you eat"-swine! (yuck and excuse me!) All the above acts are forbidden to us Muslims by God. We must eat with our right hands only. We must clean our private parts with our left hands only. We must shave our armpits and pubes every 40 days (mimimun) . We must use water for cleaning our private parts. We can't keep dogs for pets. We can't eat swine. All these have been forbidden to us by God. So we are clean and you are impure and dirty. Therefore if you don't become Muslim but choose to retain your impure and inferior religion or way of life other than Islam, you must then acknowledge your inferiority. And you do this by becoming a dhimmi! You must pay a tax to us Muslims for being inferior-called a dhimmi tax. You shall also have to obey special dhimmi laws-all of this because you yourself CHOSE to be inferior. If you reject being even a dhimmi then, according to islamic law, you must be publicly executed. I mean what can we do with someone who wishes to be lower than even a lowly dhimmi except send him to his grave to be tortuerd by God's angels? Now what are the laws for those who CHOOSE to remain dhimmis in an Islamic state? Some of them are as follows:

1. Dhimmis may only wear black, red, yellow, pink, orange and purple colored clothing. Jews must wear very bright colors (high on the u.v. spectrum)-red, orange etc.
2. Dhimmis cannot walk on the better part of the sidewalk. They must give way to Muslims when walking. The better parts of roads are reserved for Muslims.
3. Dhimmis cannot build their houses higher than Muslims.
5. Dhimmi automobiles will be colored yellow. Dhimmis must buy old, slower cars
4. Dhimmis cannot preach their religion. This is so that Muslims are not provided any temptation to apostate. Only Muslims can preach their religion.
5. No cross or Jewish star is to be displayed on places of dhimmi worship.
6. Dhimmis cannot walk to their places of worship as a congregation. They must walk individually.
7. Dhimmis cannot drink alcohol, worship or listen to music in public. They may only do so privately in their dhimmi homes.They will be lashed if they break this law.
8. Dhimmis must invite in any Muslim who passes by their homes.
9. Dhimmis must walk with their heads bowed in public in a subdued manner. If they walk with pride they will get beaten up by Muslim security.
10. Dhimmis cannot participate in the Muslim armed forces.
11. Dhimmis cannot hold jobs in any areas of caliphate administration and security.
12. Dhimmis must pay a yearly tax for their CHOICE of CHOOSING to be a dhimmi.
13. A Muslim man may marry a dhimmi woman but a dhimmi man may not marry a Muslim woman. All children must be Muslim.
14. All Dhimmis will be treated with fairness and justice by the Muslim Caliphate. Dhimmi protection is guaranteed by the Muslims.

Any dhimmi who chooses to become Muslim will have all the rights Muslims have. He becomes one of the Muslims, like us. He becomes superior to the lowly dhimmis-this is the justice and equality of Islam.

#2  The Afghan count makes perfect sense, as does the Iranian count. There were hundreds of them that joined the Ansarî and fought PUK in the couple of years before OIF.

Drugs and jihadis travel the same route out of Afghanistan into Iran.

#1  I don't know about Jihadi's, but I have been reading about Iranian Republican Guard/Special Forces in Irag the week we captured Bagdad. 6 months ago, the Mesopotamian blog reported there were over 1,000 Iranian Republican Guards in Iraqi prisons.
My sense, from reading Iraqi blogs, is that several thousand Iranian personnel are in Iraq helping the insurgency, and that doesn't count the "independents" who joining the insurgency on their own.
