Who's More Evil? Islamic State or Islamic Republic?

Who poses the bigger threat?  Islamic State or the Islamic Republic of Iran? It's actually a false dilemma. Both the Sunni and Shia side are equally hostile to Western values and to Liberty at large. But some are working hard to get the West into the Sunni camp. 

Islamic State vs. Iran: Which Threat Is Bigger?

UPDATE: Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the point that if Iran is armed with a nuclear bomb, it would pose the "gravest threat to us all".  He added that defeating the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and leaving the Islamic Republic on the side is akin to “winning the battle and losing the war.” (Source) Both sides, battling it out in Iraq and Syria for Shia or Sunni hegemony in the Middle East, are in fact equally evil and hostile to Liberty.

From the Mouth of Babes: "Islamic State is Right"

Those who deny that Islam has anything to do with Islamic State are clutching at straws. If you labor under the fact-free notion that "Islam is a religion of peace", or "that no religion condones terrorism", or "Islam has been hijacked by a few radicals", the following may come as a bit of a shock. 

ISIS Hostage speaks out and stuns everyone in the room.

Students of Islam have been saying this all along. Islamic State is vintage Islam and is by definition harking back to its roots and the example of Mohammed. Now we hear it from an unbiased boy and everyone is shocked, shocked! But not to fret: the excuses are already piled up high. This boy has been 'brainwashed'. And here we have another piece of prime bullshit! IS is chopping off heads for... (sit down for this one)... propaganda purposes!  (Source) None are so blind as those that will not see. Postmodernist Naomi Klein is going where we might expect her: she's denying the beheading of hostages is happening at all! Muslims wouldn't do that! They're forgeries. LOL The whole thing is food for psychopathologists.

Pat Condell: Laughing at the New Inquisition

"Anything but the truth" could be a 'progressive' motto. In this video, "The truth is incorrect" Pat Condell tries to explain the difference between a 'progressive' and a genuine liberal.

Sep 23, 2014 The stench of hypocrisy from the 'progressive' high moral ground. 

UPDATE: To normal people the logic of  the Left is beyond comprehension. Pat brings it up in his video. Every culture is equal; except the West, which is uniquely evil. That explains the inexplicable:

Funny they feel that way about Iraq when here in USA they are determined to destroy their political opponents. @Kassandra_Troy

@pkfanderson It's because their actual enemy is the West and Western values. With anyone else they can talk and come to some accomodation.

Open Letter by Prominent Muslims to the Caliph Debunked

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Fiqh Council of North America wrote an open letter signed by over a 100 prominent Muslims, addressed to the Islamic State’s Caliph Ibrahim, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, explaining how the PhD holder in Islamic Studies is misunderstanding Islam. Today, Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch debunks the document.

Michael Coren and Robert Spencer discuss the claims that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam.

Hamas-linked CAIR and the Fiqh Council and all the signers of this Open Letter really do oppose the Islamic State. But they don’t oppose it because it is transgressing against the commands of what they believe to be a Religion of Peace. They oppose it because they want to establish a caliphate under the auspices of or led by the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Islamic State constitutes competition. This is clear from their sly endorsements in this document of jihad, the Sharia, and the concept of the caliphate. It begins with an “Executive Summary” which is then filled out in greater detail. I will intersperse commentary below, first in general terms on the Executive Summary, and then taking up the arguments on each point in detail.

Retired Generals: Obama's War Plan Like Vietnam

ISIS has joint its conquered territories in Syria and Iraq together (maps) in a new Caliphate simply named the Islamic State, or IS. IS is demanding that all Sunnis pledge allegiance to the Caliph, al Baghdadi. After the genocides on Christians and Yazidi Kurds, and three hostages were publicly beheaded, the world is ready to strike back at Mordor.

UPDATE: There's better news from Syrian Kurdistan. Obama's top brass have shredded his war plan against the Islamic State; Obama is about to tell the UN he wants a global travel ban for Jihadists, assuring radicals will turn against their home countries; Islamic State has got Lebanon and Egypt in the crosshairs. And cries about dying babies has already started. Let's hope people are able to withstand sentimental anti war propaganda that hands a moral victory to the enemy - the Islamic State - as if that was possible in a rational world!

Postmortem on Operation Protective Edge in Gaza

Three Israeli teens were abducted and killed by Palestinians. After some 95 rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel, the Government of Bibi Netanyahu launched Operation Protective Edge. Peace negotiations have started, but it's impossible for the Palestinians to ever stop hostilities: the destruction of Israel  is their psychological reason of being. 



Aug 11, 2014 At United West, Geert Wilders, unlike many spineless politicians, stands proudly with Israel and boldly against Hamas and Islamic jihad worldwide. 

UPDATE: While the world's media has been blaming Israel for the death of Gazan civilians during Operation Protective Edge, this correspondent decided to speak with Gazans themselves to hear what they had to say. They spoke of Hamas atrocities and war crimes implicating Hamas in the civilian deaths of its own people. Although Gazans, fearful of Hamas's revenge against them, were afraid to speak to the media, friends in the West Bank offered introductions to relatives in Gaza. One, a renowned Gazan academic, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that as soon as someone talked to a Western journalist, he was immediately questioned by Hamas and accused of "communicating with the Mossad". "Hamas makes sure that the average Gazan will not talk to Western journalists -- or actually any journalists at all," he said (...) (Source)

Jihad Isn't Crime; It's a Special Kind of World War

The neglected problems with the Islamic State are starting to overwhelm the system. We haven't begun to tackle the issue, since we are trying to evade awareness. We have  a problem on our hands that transcends the state, borders, and the law. In other words, this isn't crime, we're in a special kind of world war, a Jihad.

British medical student calling herself Mujahidah Bint Usama, 21, posted this image online of her holding a severed head while two children look on. Only the censored picture has been made available by MailOnline.

Postmodern man does not have the ability to think outside the parameters of the prevailing paradigm. We think in concepts as countries, passports and legislation. But those concepts are of another order that isn't useful to us here. Cultures and ideas transcend borders. If we understand how fast a virus like ebola is able to spread (source), we may be able to comprehend what happens to ideas that flash across continents with the speed of the Internet.

Interview With a Former IS Jihadist

The House has affirmed Obama's long - covertly - implemented plan to arm the 'moderate' (define!) Syrian rebels. The following is an interview with a man who thought he'd joined the FSA, but instead found himself a member of the Islamic State.

Obama's plan to arm 'moderate' Syrian rebels regarded by CIA as effort doomed to failure, http://t.co/4Pq0tHOek6

"The CIA also believes that its previous assignment to accomplish [arming rebels] was basically a fool’s errand"  

Islamic State (IS) member "Sherko Omer" would now be a dead jihadist hadn’t he surrendered to the pro-Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in northeast Syria earlier this year. Journalist Rozh Ahmad met him to learn more about the experience. In this interview "Omer" explains how he left his hometown in Iraqi Kurdistan to join the Syrian opposition and eventually became an IS member, what he witnessed and the reasons for which he risked his life to exit the extremist Islamic organisation. "Sherko Omer" is a pseudonym. His real identity has been kept secret for security reasons. The views expressed are his own.

Muslim Show: Alone or the Group? (Cartoon)

Individualism is a threat to Islam. The community of the faithful has a name: the Ummah. Islam would not be able to keep it together without social pressure. The tribe prevents individuals from wandering off the village grounds under threat of death and worse. This cartoon tells the story.

Islam's anti individualism at a glance. This is one of the reasons Islam is entirely antithetical to Liberty and Western liberal democracy which is oriented on the sovereignty of the individual. H/t @BasimaFaysal
