Iran: US Did Not Kill Bin Laden, We Have Proof

He questioned Washington's claim that bin Laden was killed by American troops in a hiding compound in Pakistan on May 1. “If the US military and intelligence apparatus have really arrested or killed bin Laden, why don't they show him (his dead body) why have they thrown his corpse into the sea?” Moslehi asked.

Press TV:  Iran's intelligence minister says the country has reliable information that former head of the al-Qaeda terrorist group Osama bin Laden died of disease some time ago. “We have accurate information that bin Laden died of illness some time ago,” Heidar Moslehi told reporters on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting on Sunday. via challahhuakbar.blogspot.com ...“I demanded my virgins, like any good martyr, but what they brought me ...is entirely unacceptable.” ...ALLAH DAMN IT!

Bin Laden's will: No Israel and very little Jews

Bin Ladin never cared about the borders..

Michael Yon has Osama Bin Laden's last will and testament. Those - mostly of the International Left - who have been trying to show that what really made Bin Laden angry was Israel's treatment of the 'Palestinians' will be disappointed to discover that we don't seem to interest Bin Laden much.

There is no mention of Israel, and only the following four mentions of Jews:

The Jews and Christians have tempted us with the pleasures of life and its cheap delights and they invaded us with their monitory values before invading us with their armies.
...
The [Koranic] verse has been reversed and we saw the cowardly Crusaders [Christians] and the lowly Jews become steadfast in their fighting with us and the soldiers of our Ummah raise the white flag and surrender to their enemies.

Patriotism is...
the Last Refuge of a Liberal

And the excuse of a Sheik and his companions was necessary to appease the Jews and Christians and their general opinion and they forgot Allah’s verse, “The Jews and the Christians will not be pleased with you until you follow their faith”.
...
My final advice is to all the Mujahideen where ever they maybe: reconstitute yourselves and do not forget until fight the Jews and the Christians and attend to purifying your ranks of the agents, lazy and scholars of evil who collaborate against the Jihad and hold the Ummah back.
Note that each time Jews are mentioned, they are mentioned with the Christians. So much for Bin Laden being interested in Israel or the 'Palestinians.' Heh.

Bin Laden killing 'second biggest' national tragedy

Why is it even a debate over whether we should continue provide them with billions of dollars in aid? They are our enemies.

Islamabad, 6 May (AKI) - By Syed Saleem Shahzad - Pakistani opposition leader Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan reacted to the killing of Osama bin Laden by American special forces by declaring the act a national tragedy and demanding the resignation of many of Pakistan's top leaders.

“This is the biggest tragedy in the history of Pakistan after the fall of East Pakistan in 1971 (now Bangladesh)," he said. "heads should roll. Those who breached the sovereignty of the country by the US intrusion in the country, including the president, prime minister, minister of defence and minister of interior should immediately resign,” he told reporters in front of national parliament in Islamabad on Friday.

Much of Pakistan's mood can be described as deeply shocked by the 2 May raid on bin Laden's compound by an American Navy SEAL team in the upscale town of Abbotabad. The operation was reputedly carried out without the knowledge of Pakistani authorities because of the suspicion by Washington that they could tip off the Al-Qaeda leader.

Mass demonstrations in Pakistan were called for Friday to protest the killing of bin Laden, while the country's biggest Islamist political party, Jamaat-e-Islami, called for protests s against what it said was a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty by the US raid.

Noam Chomsky Attacks Israel's 'Expansion Over Security' at UCLA Lecture on 'Palestine in Crisis'

Chomsky concluded the question and answer session by arguing that Osama Bin Laden was assassinated,
"murdered," so that the U.S. could avoid putting Bin Laden on trial,
because "they have no evidence against him.
"That final jab at the U.S. went over extremely well with the crowd of anti-Americans
 and Arafat-styled student-cum-terrorists.

...this clip captures more of Chomsky's comments on U.S. policy than his remarks on Israeli expansionism. Here he argues that from Washington's perspective democracy and freedom in the Middle East are antithetical to American interests. The U.S. and Israel allegedly fear the Arab Spring because the revolutions threaten American hegemony in the region. Chomsky spouts a lot of disinformation, which is his trademark. He says at 40 seconds that "about 90 percent of Egyptians view the United States as the main enemy" and that "about 80 percent in the region wanted to be sure Iran had nuclear weapons":

Chomsky changes his mind on WMDS in Iraq?

Actually, public opinion in Egypt is much more complicated than that, and while there's obviously variation across individual polls and over time, there's no support for Chomky's claim of "80 percent" across the region supporting Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons. In fact, according to a Pew Global Attitudes survey in April 2010, "a majority of respondents in Turkey, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon as well as Israel said the spread of nuclear weapons was a major threat" (the number was 41 percent in Egypt).

Pushing 'Islamophobia' at UCLA?

UCLA Palestine Awareness Week.

...Muslim Student Association Pledge of Allegiance:
Jihad is my spirit, I will die to establish Islam

But these are only quick examples of the kind of propaganda one hears at a Noam Chomsky lecture. Indeed, what's even more fascinating than hearing Chomsky's America-bashing is observing the rock star status he's afforded by the huge crowd of collegiate wannabe bohemians, diehard pro-terror communists, and the campus Islamist jihadis who thronged the event. I'll post pictures later. Chomsky was swarmed by extremist acolytes upon entering the lecture hall. Upon speaking, it was as if his attacks on "American imperialism" and "corporate dominance" were like throwing bags of candy to children. I arrived at UCLA at 5:00pm, and the event was scheduled from 6:00 to 8:00pm.

Without citing a single piece of evidence—
At the conclusion of the event, Chomsky responded to questions and went off on his familiar rant about how those who proclaim themselves pro-Israel are actually working feverishly for its moral degeneration and ultimate destruction. Chomsky then returned of the comparison of Israel to apartheid South Africa, and while he admitted key differences, he argued that in one key similarity the time will come when Israel's crisis of legitimation becomes overwhelming, and forces upon it a reckoning for the survival of the Jewish state.

I hope Chomsky starts listening before he dies

MADONNA 'S Muslim Lover BOY was Too Strict for Her

Queen of Pop Madonna has split
 from her toyboy lover Brahim Zaibat,
a strict Muslim, over religious differences.

Zaibat, 24, a hip-hop dancer, had been seeing Madonna, 52, who is devoted to Kabbalah, for nine months.

Whatever happened to Jesus?

“Brahim’s family had told him they did not want him going to Kabbalah meetings and wanted him to stick to his Muslim beliefs, which caused some rows,” the Daily Mail quoted a source close to Zaibat as saying.

“Things started to turn sour and they were hardly seeing each other,” the source said.
A friend of the hip-hop dancer revealed that Zaibat is happy with the decision.

“Who’s Madonna? Brahim has been home and he’s a single guy,” the friend said.
“He is no longer an item with Madonna. He’s very happy. There’s nothing more to say,” the friend added. via 9-11domorethenneverforget-stopislam.blogspot.com
