| Ahmadinejad urges unity, vigilance among Muslims |
| 2010-01-09 |
| Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has taken a swipe at the bullying powers, blaming them for "sowing the seeds of discord among the Islamic states." "Vigilance, unity and cooperation of the Muslim nations will foil the enemies' conspiracies and those who sow the seeds of discord among Muslims and Islamic states are either ignorant or traitor," said president Ahmadinejad in a meeting with Bahrain's Parliament Speaker Khalifa Ahmad al-Zahrani on Thursday. President Ahmadinejad's remarks seem to be a direct reference to the recent aggressions and offensive against the Yemenis civilians in northern Yemen, where he held "the enemies of Islam" accountable for Yemen developments. " Enemies foment discord among Muslims in order to thwart their efforts to make progress." The conflict in northern Yemen began in 2004 between Sana'a and Houthi fighters. It intensified in August 2009 when the Yemeni army launched Operation Scorched Earth in an attempt to crush Shia Houthi fighters in the northern province of Sa'ada. The government claims that the fighters, who are named after their leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi, seek to restore the Shia imamate system, which was overthrown in a 1962 military coup. The Houthis, however, say they are defending their people's civil rights, which the government has undermined under pressure from Saudi-backed Wahhabi extremists. Shias, who form the clear majority in the north, make up approximately half of Yemen's overall population. Referring to the significance of unity among Muslim states, the Iranian chief executive said the arrogant powers erected Israel and waged wars in the region with the aim of dominating the Muslims and the Islamic states. "The unity and solidarity of the Islamic countries would have prevented the massacre of millions of people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine," he opined. The Bahraini parliament speaker, for his part, said that the enemies' efforts to instigate violence in the Islamic countries would go into reverse and "their plots would consolidate Muslims' relations." |

| #6 I know its not PC to talk about killing a LOT of people. Its not "nice". Decent people dont say things like that. And all too often it's advocated by those who will have no skin in the game, or would soil themselves if they did. Not to say that it might not be necessary. Professionals know that. Professionals also know it ain't the solution to every situation. Verdun and the Somme. The result of applying 19th century tactics with 20th century technology, resulting in trench warfare. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And Cologne and Dresden. Note that they didn't happen early in the war. Belsen-Bergen and Mattau and Auschwittz. Those were 'political' not 'combat'. More tea? No thank you. I drink coffee - a bad habit acquired during all too many mid-watches. (nice thing about the dark tho - you don't have to see the bodies and body-parts...) |

| #4 Wars are always over someday. This war will be no different. Somebody is going to win and when they do the war will be over. And somebody is going to lose...and when they do we can drink Beer in Mecca and nobody is gonna say peep. Do you see Mecca ruling the world? I dont. China isnt going to go easy and the United States has fried citys and whole populations before...its my guess we are quite capable of doing it again. If we dont the Chinese will, the Arabs arent going to keep the Black stuff...somebody IS going to get it. The Arabs cant hold onto it and they are all expendable in the end game. There is going to be a War. Somebody is going to win it. This stuff we see at present wont just putter along forever...it will hit the wall about 2016. Allah is going to regret He EVER got up in the morning. Bombs over Tokyo ( did I spell that right?) Maybe its spelled Mecca. I know its not PC to talk about killing a LOT of people. Its not "nice". Decent people dont say things like that. Verdun and the Somme. Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Belsen-Bergen and Mattau and Auschwittz. More tea?

| #3 Hasn't 'Muslim Unity' historically been called for when the one calling for it is in serious trouble? |

| #2 personally, I think Moslems unity and Vigilance et al is right up there with a diabetic's demand for "more do-nuts". But say, just hypotehtically, that ALL the Moslems DID get behind one pointed stick and all lined up unified and vigilant to the tune of total ha ha.? What would happen then.? Well, Fwance would promise them anything and I think most of the EUrorweenies would fold like pasta in the microwave...but they dont have a military anyway so they could try oral sex and see if that worked. If the United States was faced with a united Caliphate we would simply figure its end game time and fry them systematically. A city at a time until we ran out of cities. But, thankfully, the average Moslem is going to just sit there whining in the majority and leave it to the stooges like the latest ball bag bomber to crispy critter his fatherhood in 11F. Osama is dead and Iraq is in the bag. Afghanistan will is getting added value and Barbie and Ken are down at the Mall. Skinny is in the White House. And if you dont have a Victory Garden you are missing a nutritious bet. September of 2016 is my guess. Feast of Trumpets? Then we keep up the killing until 2025. Somebody in a collateral Hashemite in Jordan can have Mecca and a few perks when the war is over. |
