Then again, Sistani did issue that fatwa against "that hippity hop music" saying "that one girl talkin 'bout her 'milkshake', that is clearly forbidden and deviates from the path of righteousness, bless her heart."

Ah, so Canada couldn't send soldiers to support the U.S. in Iraq, but they have muddledhedin to send. Wonderful. With the experience gained by those not caught, look for them to use their war-making skills in Canada.

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq are cultish & occasionally self-immolating Marxist Islamists long fighting the Iranian regime from within Iraq with Saddam’s approval & probable Ba’athist infiltration. They are extremely violent & are hated even by reformist Iranians. We’re talking potentially Khmer Rouge level of evil here, the kind of thing that wins poles-switched Noam Chomsky’s ardent & constant apostleship.

According to past press reports (I’ve no URLs handy), the Mujahedin-e Khalq provided the US with some info about Iranian nuke research that turned out to be reliable.

Here's a letter I sent to the SMH about the
McGeogh story, hopefully it will restore some
of the leftie bias of that newspaper.

Paul Mc Geogh (17/4) takes delight in detailing
the salaries of murdered Italian Fabrizio
Quattrochi and kidnapped American Thomas Hamill.
How much are you being paid these days, Paul? Do
Fairfax or Channel 9 pay you danger money for
being in Iraq? Maybe you begrudge the high
salaries of contractors in actual danger.

Are the security personnel money chasing
mercenaries? Well we all do the best we can. Maybe
there weren't enough journalism jobs around. Maybe
not enough people can make a crust with tired,
predictable Anti-American views. Quattrochi is a
hero who chose to face death on his feet unbowed
by the terrorists and that's why Al Jazeera won't
broadcast it. It's no surprise that McGeogh, who
consistently comes down on the side of the
murderers and cowards, fails to recognise real
heroism when it's staring him in the face.

Am I the only one who giggles when he hears the phrase "Marxist Islamists"?

How about just "totalitarians", ok?

They’re decidedly Marxist, decidedly Islamist, & decidedly cultish.

Thank you Stuart Cooper!
You sent the letter I've always wanted to send.
McGeough is one of the most malicious grubs we have in our media. If Iraq never happened he'd be in Afghanistan working overtime, desperately trying to undermine Coalition efforts there! He's just one of the characters that brim with glee at the thought of a Coalition failure in Iraq. He would happily sacrifice 20 million Iraqis for the sake of rubbing America's face in it and some very petty point-scoring!

I have to respectfully disagree ;-)
They aren't real Marxists, they're much too rich for that. God help them if there ever was a Marxist uprising in this country! They'd be among the first to have their head on a pike. They just like pretending to be Marxists. It's a big hit on the Upper North Shore dinner party circuit. Most of them can't afford to be Islamists either, let's just say it clashes with their choice of lifestyle. Hypocrites is what they actually are!

I was talking about the Mujahedin-e Khalq.

Was there really a grandmother who burned down a mosque and imprisoned some imams? SHE is more dangerous than Islamofacists?
I think if the US is attacked again we'll see a lot more "extremist" grandmothers.
There comes a time when some say, "We're just not going to take it any more".

Oh Sorry ForNow, I guess I was just looking for an excuse to get that comment off my chest ;-)

That’s different, you’re right, Brian, I myself seldom pass up an opportunity to score a mot.
