Larry KingCNN's king of the talk-show hosts and the icon of one of the major television networks, Larry King, hosted an interview on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 with the devil himself.  Many Iranians felt completely betrayed by Mr. King's line of questioning. They felt that Mr. King was missing key questions. I am not advocating a hostile interview here, but how could Mr. King allow Ahmadinejad to easily dance away. It seemed he was deliberately making Ahmadinejad look and act like a human being.

As the old saying goes, "There's no such thing as a stupid question." However, in the minds of many Iranians as well as many non-Iranians, there is such a thing, and Mr. King lost huge points with his line of questioning. Yet, valid questions remain about media performance and the role of public communication practitioners in shaping perception. The role of media is not to impose self-censorship and avoid critical questions.

It is hard to digest how the liberal media has singlehandedly, in a matter of three short days, managed to make Ahmadinejad look statesmanlike. Mr. Ahmadinejad was given a forum to reiterate his deception, repeatedly. Larry King would not even say that he himself is Jewish and that he supports Israel. He looked very mesmerized by the presence of this evil man who is responsible for the death and misery that exists in Iran. He did not contradict Ahmadinejad, did not show him up. He allowed him to make points to undermine the existence of the friendship between Israel and the United States.

Ahmadinejad’s utterance on Tuesday echoed the past remarks he has made, including calls to annihilate Israel and threats to the U.S. and other countries that support Israel. On September 18, 2008, he said, “the Zionist regime is a regime that will disappear.” But, I have news for him, most Iranians believe that the Islamic Republic is an illegitimate regime and must soon disappear. On February 28, 2007, he said, “Zionists are the true incarnation of Satan.” Ironically, most Iranians believe that Ahmadinejad is the Satan and does not represent the Iranian people any more than his turbaned-colleagues presently ruling Iran do. What needs to be understood is that in fact Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs, above all else, are true Muslims and despise anything “Iranian” and its ancient “pre-Islamic” heritage.

islamist emailWestminster Journal this week was sent this email correspondence from a Hizb ut-Tahrir al Islami (HT) insider. It is an HT internal email to the "internal HT list".  In the email, HT congratulates itself on being able to raise 20,000 Bengalis to rallies in spite of the fact that a game of scrabble on the streets of over-populated Dhakar, Bangladesh would draw in more if all could see the board.

HT talks of a smear going on in Bangladesh against HT in spite of the fact that they were directly linked to violence as an organisation just last week in Bangladesh, as reported in this journal and by news agencies such as Reuters.

Should the comment "the Hizb and its work has indeed entered the political classes as well as the academic and societal atmosphere" worry you - fear not. A source in Bangladesh has confirmed to Westminster Journal that, as in all lands of operation, Hizb ut Tahrir is suffering from major defections from its executive in Bangladesh and that, if anything, is why there have been a series of recent arrests in and around the capital Dhakar.

The text of the email as written is as follows:

"Assalamu alaikum,

As you know the call for the Khilafah has been gathering pace over the last few years.  It is a work that now spans the entire globe and has struck a chord with the masses, as well as the elite and influential people.  Brothers, over several years the work in Bangladesh has been gathering pace.  The strength of the Hizb in Bangladesh is not only measured by the numbers we attract at rallies (sometimes over 20,000), but also in the ability to establish itself in the political medium.  The Hizb and its work has indeed entered the political classes as well as the academic and societal atmosphere.

This success is bringing an intensifying clash between the authorities and the Hizb, and has culminated recently in a smear campaign against the hizb amongst the general media, as well as desperate measures such as arresting, harassing and threatening the sincere shabbab of the Hizb.

Bakri’s daughter a Pole Dancer! PDF Print E-mail

BakriTHE daughter of hate cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed is a POLE DANCER, The Sun can reveal.

Busty Yasmin Fostok, 27, leads a secret life after rebelling against her fanatical Muslim dad - who rants against Western "depravity".

She has performed in London pole dancing bars and gyrated half-naked in cages at club nights.

And she admitted: "I'm willing to go topless if the venue is right."

Yasmin, a party-loving girl who quit the family home in North London four years ago, added: "I don't get on with my dad." Bakri, 50 - in Lebanon after being kicked out of Britain - told The Sun: "I am deeply shocked."

Bakri is a Muslim preacher of hate who wants all women to be covered from head to toe.

His daughter loves partying, happily poses for raunchy topless photos and is described by a lover as "very adventurous in bed".

He hailed the 9/11 terrorists as the "Magnificent 19".

His daughter says: "I don't agree with his views - I just get on with my life and that's it."

The two worlds of bile-spouting Omar Bakri Mohammed and his sexy daughter Yasmin could hardly be more different.

Today The Sun can reveal how busty Yasmin has turned her BACK on her father's fundamentalist teachings to flash her FRONT in men's clubs.

She has toured as a "podium" dancer with a troupe called Ibiza Untouched, whipping up crowds of clubbers into a frenzy.

And she has even worked a fire-eating routine into her act.

Hizb ut tahrirA Bangladesh court refused bail on Sunday to 10 suspected members of the Hizb ut Tahrir group, which had threatened to bomb key installations if they were not released.

Police said the group's members had said in faxed messages that they would launch bomb and grenade attacks unless the detainees were freed without delay. One fax was received at the police commissioner's office in Rajshahi on Saturday evening. Similar messages were sent to several police headquarters on September 4, the police said.

The police detained 10 members of the banned group, including three university teachers, when they tried to hold a news conference at the Rajshahi press club on Thursday. The police said they were held on suspicion of plotting subversive acts against the country. The court refused to grant them bail. Rajshahi, 350 kilometres from the capital Dhaka, is considered a breeding ground of militants who have carried out a campaign of violence across the country. "We have issued a high security alert in Rajshahi and other main cities," a Rajshahi police officer said. Government officials say the militants are seeking to impose Sharia-based Islamic law in Bangladesh, a Muslim majority nation which follows a secular constitution.

Pakistan Marriot Bomb PDF Print E-mail

mariot hotel pakistanBritish Airways has halted all flights to Pakistan following the bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, a spokesman for the airline has confirmed this morning.

"We have temporarily suspended our flight operations in Pakistan following Saturday's suicide attack," Sohail Rehman, a spokesman for British Airways, said.

The last flight from London to Islamabad, the only destination served by the airline in Pakistan, operated yesterday. It departed as rescuers picked their way through the smouldering ruins of the hotel, looking for more bodies after the huge bomb devastated the building in one of country's worst terrorist attacks.

The death toll stood this morning at 53, with 266 wounded, after a bomber blew up a lorry containing 600kg of explosive on Saturday evening. The body of Ivo Zdarek, the Czech Ambassador, was among those pulled from the rubble. Mr Zdarek, 47, moved to Islamabad only in August. Two Americans, said to be US Defence Department employees, were also killed in the blast but their identities were not revealed.

The bombing happened after dusk on Saturday, when hundreds of people were dining in several restaurants inside the hotel. Closed-circuit TV footage showed the driver of the lorry ramming into the security gates but failing to breach a second barrier.

Rehman Malik, an Interior Ministry official, said that the attacker intended to drive into the lobby of the hotel and had apparently tried to convince the guards to lower the second barrier. When they would not, he blew himself up in the lorry's cabin. The guards then tried to put out the fire in the lorry, and it was several minutes before the second, enormous blast devastated the Marriott.

Abdur Rehman, 45, who was on security duty, said: "The bomber fired several shots in the air when we tried to stop him, scaring us all away. Then after a few minutes the truck exploded with a massive blast, setting the building on fire." Mohammed Latif, who was in the hotel car park, said: "The entire area was engulfed in thick smoke and pieces of glass and debris was flying all over. People, many of them stained in blood, came rushing out from a side gate." Akbar Khan, a World Bank employee, was dining with friends at one of the hotel's restaurants when he heard a thud, and then a huge blast. "I saw people scaling 12ft walls at the back of the hotel to save their lives," Mr Khan, whose head and arms were injured, said.

Rescue teams searched the blackened building room by room but were hampered by fires still burning some areas 24 hours after the explosion. "There could be some charred bodies inside," a senior official said.

At least two Britons were among the hundreds wounded in the attack, which had the luxury hotel in the capital's high-security zone in flames for several hours, destroying the five-storey building. Both were discharged from hospital after treatment for minor injuries.

Journal Restructuring

In September 2010 the Westminster Journal concludes the moving of its centre of operations to New York. This is partly due to England's often senseless libel judgements and partly because of a restructuring of the journal under a corporation of new writers. After three years we decided it was time to make some changes. Though we are still called the Westminster Journal and our focus will remain British, New York is the journal's new home. The...

In the Guardian this weekend was a fluffy, myopic piece about Venezuela written by some left-wing student, named Pablo Navarrete, who has done some jobbing for the New Statesman's John Pilger and spent some time in Venezuela a few years ago. The article, entitled "Venezuela deserves a fair hearing" is so flawed it merits almost total clarification.Venezuela- for obvious reasons (to those who know me) - is very close to...

Uganda Wakes Up

Uganda has finally woken up and seen the light. Uganda has indicated it will sensibly bow to international pressure and amend draconian anti-homosexual legislation that includes the death penalty for HIV-positive people convicted of having gay sex. This controversial bill was put forward by a member of the ruling party in Uganda. Uganda's president, Yoweri Museveni, said the bill had become a "foreign policy issue" and needed further consultation before being voted on in parliament. The proposed law, which...

2009 Closes

So 2009 ends with Al Qaeda’s version of the Nutcracker - the Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab stuffing explosives in his underpants and trying, but failing, to take down a transatlantic airliner as it descended into Detroit. Giving Mutallab seat 19A at Schiphol was a mistake that should lead to repaired airline security strategies. Homeland Security agencies worldwide have naturally stepped up their vigilance in case there are any other nut-exploding nutters out there with the same thing in...

HSBC MAKES GRAVE ERROR

Extreme Islamism - like all political movements - requires cash. Those who pay extreme Islamists are at best helping to further bigoted, Flintstone ideas and, at worst, they are directly funding Islamist terrorism. Since Islamists often show two faces to get what they want (in an uneducated misinterpretation, they justify this as taqiyya) a good lesson is to never pay an Islamist, whether you think he or she is an extremist or not. Not a penny. Remember that...

A left wing kabal which buries facts and spins lies for no apparent good reason and to zero effect. Another reminder of why Spinwatch's "journalist" drones can't get a job with a decent paper but can just about manage an "ology" at one of the UK's most awful...

Leftist Tools

Left-wing extremists in the United Kingdom are gaining new recruits by exploiting the ennui resulting from 60 years of prosperity and decadence. This ennui is also driving a resurgence in recruitment and radicalisation activity by "whiter" supremacist groups, pro government extremists and egalitarian movements. Continuing racial and gender disparities in outcomes, mass consumerism during a prolonged period of peace, and other consequences of contrived intra-white status jockeying, intensified by the increasing cognitive stratification of the last 30 years, seems to be...
