#3 So according to the religious leadership of the Islamic Republic it is perfectly right to use nuclear weapons to achieve your purposes. So if Isreal decide to use them it is ok. Mr Bush don't be undecided about this matter. It is Ok . Just use the damn things. Remenber that "shari'a does not forbid the use of nuclear weapons." So go on and gift the religious leadership of the Islamic Republic with a couple of them .

#5 Soon there will be a fatwa that says shari'a demands the use of nuclear weapons.

#6 I'm a bit confused here. If Iran seeks only peaceful uses of nuclear power, why are Iranians searching for justification for using the nuclear weapons that they claim they don't have and are not interested in obtaining?

It's a pickle.

#7 So nuking Mecca is Islamically approved?

How ironic.

#8 Pescador, this goes back to the old rule, "The kaffir's head must be lower than the Muslim's head." Thus, only a Muslim may ride a horse, but the kaffir may ride only a mule... except if the Muslim is riding a mule, the kaffir must get down and walk. Likewise, the Muslims may use nuclear weapons (read that as Shia Muslim, of course!), but the kaffir may not use weaponry as powerful or as advanced, even if they were the ones who bloody well invented the things!

#9 the kaffir may not use weaponry as powerful or as advanced, even if they were the ones who bloody well invented the things!

Boy howdy, are they in for a surprise! It's absolutely incredible to watch Iran claw and fight its way into first place for becoming the world's first fused glass parking lot. They should feel fortunate if we only bomb them with conventional weapons.

#10 ..why are Iranians searching for justification for using the nuclear weapons that they claim they don't have and are not interested in obtaining?

Something to remember: these clerics aren't the smartest people in the world.

#11 Man, the Religion of Pieces is really on a toot, isn't it?

These ratbags need to be spanked. They need to be spanked HARD, and soon. The only way we're going to prevail against this primitive murder cult is to crush it. Faster, please...

#13 Another brain fart-wa just in time for the quasi-secretive nuke weapon program in Iran.

Is this a Islamofacsist version of M.A.D.

My money says Bombs away M.F.er

#14 Oh but what about all the peace loving moderate Muzzies ?

Well, what about them? Where are they? Why aren't they protesting the malign image that Ahmadinejad gives them? When will they renounce his intentions to "wipe Israel off of the map"? When will they make a concerted effort to dry up all the "halawah" funding transactions that support violent jihad? When will they begin turning in imams that preach violent jihad? When will they finally shout out loud even a few paragraphs of protestation to fill the yawning void currently known as their thundering silence? Inquiring minds want to know!

#18 I read his "goal" statements to mean it's OK for muslims to nuke infidels. I's required to nuke jews (better goal) and bestest of all to nuke Israel off the map.

Not very bright. Not a whit.

#19 I give it zero chance something like this will be broadcast of the network evening news. And the population goes another day oblivious to anything but Brad/Angelina/Jen and Cheney/lawyer-target-practice.

#20 We respect the sovereignty of the elected government of Iran, and its right to defend against those who threaten its territoriality. We respect the right of the Islamic Republic to develop, plant and use nuclear weapons - even in pre-emption = against its adversaries. And we commit to making the changes in US domestic and foreign policies, that will eliminate the cause of the Iranian people's "Death to America" chants, for which Americans must accept sole blame. We respect the right of the elected government of Iran to embrace the Koran as the source of its legislation in general, and on the specific question of use of nuclear weaponry for Islamic jihad. Islam is a noble faith, and nothing but good can come out of it. Any contrarian statements by Americans are the product of heretics, who need to be put in concentration camps.

#21
IMO, Dave D, using Ann Coulter as a an example in #7 trivilizes an otherwise insightful list of options that begs deeper analysis.

Posted by RD 2006-02-17 18:16|| 2006-02-17 18:16|| Front Page Top

#22 How so?

The reference to Coulter in Option #7 is there as a somewhat tongue-in-cheek reminder that that's more or less what she had advocated in a remark-- which caused quite an uproar at the time-- to the effect that "we should invade their countries, assassinate their leaders, and forcibly convert them to Christianity".

I'm not sure I understand how that "trivializes" what I wrote; but YMMV.

#23 YMMV,

agreed, your work afterall,

you did a serious differentiated list, maybe personalities distract.

#2. APPEASEMENT: Maybe if we're nicer to the Muslims--ala George Galloway, or maybe if we just let them kill all the Jews in Israel-- they won't hate us so much and then they'll leave us alone.

I quit. ;)

#24 #16 Dave, I cannot agree with that.

I know Muslims who are better citizens that most native-born DemocRats. AND they speak out in their community (and the community at large) against the islamonazis and their crap. (Notice I show them the respect of calling them "Muslim" - with a capital M - instead of my usual "moslem," which is done to show my deliberate disrespect for the islamonutz.)

You try to fuck with my friends, I'll shoot you myself.

The anti-American, anti-freedom ones, on the other hand....
