Looks good - thanks from me too BB. I'm a fan of Djalili's stand up (and also of David Baddeil's humour). I am also 'purchasing' a copy - looking foward to watching. BTW Shappi Khorsandi is another excellent UK comic with Iranian roots. I also recommend the film 'Four Lions' (also available for 'buy...

I'm waiting for eh to announce his research has uncovered the 'fact' that Irving is really a Muslim!

The Khomeni allegations are really shocking too.. I'll leave that to Shia/Iranians to defend or correct.

Cheers,

Perhaps your President should have ordered hotdogs and burgers instead?

But you're right - the important question is "what would Mossadegh have ordered?" (We all know that the Shah would have had more class and not ordered take out, or gone without a tie!)

Interesting that eh has quoted the Jerusalem Post scaremongering about Islamic extremism - but hasn't addressed the fact that in the EU only 0.4% of terrorist acts were carried out by Muslims. (Or the stats that show that there were more terrorist attacks by Jewish terrorists than Muslims if we go b...

I guess censoring schoolbooks is just the tip of the iceberg. It's enough to make one think the Israelis were ashamed of the truth? The UN report says that Israel's piracy on the Med was illegal (no surprises there), but Israel continues to argue it doesn't need to abide by laws the rest of us have ...

You failed Geography in school didn't you eh? And you weren't too hot when it came to stats either, were you? So, absolutely no answer to the stats that only 0.4% of terrorist acts in Europe carried out by Muslims and that in the US the figure is 6% (with Jewish Terrorists blowing up civilians accou...

^MCL, you've got to remember that the regime the revolution overthrew was pretty brutal and corrupt in the eyes of those who weren't in the chosen circles. One of the worst accusations against the revolutionaries is that they used the torture chambers and techniques that the Shah's secret police (th...

Wow, just wow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AbPNHYBbBk&feature=player_embedded One choice snippet from Pamela Geller from this: Rehab: She also suggested that Obama is an anti-Semite, pimp and Jihadist… Geller: Oh yeah, uh, I believe that is true .

The Myth of the Generous offer: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1113 Israel hasn't made any concessions: http://www.duncanmcfarlane.org/Israel-Palestine/Oslocharade/ Amnon Lipkin-Shahak , one of the Israeli negotiators has since said that "Taba was bullshit. Taba was an elections exercise......

^A word of caution then: don't 'debate' with loons!

Cheers,

Repeating the myth won't change reality FD. But it is moot anyway - the Palestinians today are the ones still making concessions according to international law and the settlers/colonists still want to steal more land. Fortunately, what you think happened in the past doesn't really matter when it com...

shafique

I know what you mean.

But like a stopped a clock is right twice a day, Fox News does occasionally let the truth shine through (although in this case it was DESPITE the efforts of the anchor!)

UN resolution 242 is quite short - and I couldn't see where it said that the Palestinians need to reciprocate - the first point just states that Israel should withdraw from territory it conquered, and the preamble clearly states it is illegal to acquire territory by war. http://www.un.org/documents/...

shafique

Wise words.

Cheers,
Shafique

shafique

Why do you use 'based on' when you actually mean 'falls short of'? I refer you to the myth that Taba etc were 'generous' offers and ask you to show why these offers to create bantustans is in anyway related to UN resolution 242 which says it is illegal to acquire land by force and calls for Israeli ...

I thought the French and Indians were already working on this concept... with Tata having actually designed an 'air car' http://auto.howstuffworks.com/fuel-efficiency/vehicles/air-car.htm http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/tata-air-car-02.jpg http://www.themotorreport.com.au...

shafique

Hey, when it comes to things mechanical, I'm all thumbs! The second link says the Tata car can run for 200km on the air in it's tanks. It would take 4hrs to fill up using a household compressor or 3 mins in a high-pressure 'filling station'. But hey, I'm just quoting what the article says: Here's so...

shafique

LOL. Geller must be sooo annoyed she got punked by a guy who thought blue sunglasses were cool! And on Fox News too! Saying she believes Obama to be a pimp and a Jihadist - woah, no wonder you have to resort to old photos of Rehab. ;) (I'm glad you're resorting to humour instead of insults when you ...

(I predict we'll soon read the bottom of the loon barrel being scraped and another batch of 'crazee muslim' theories being posted to try and divert attention away!) Looks like I was proved right. ;) On a related note: http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/360291/september-28-2010/t...

You're welcome pp - let's see whether eh ever get's round to addressing this issue.

Just a quick recommendation for fans of classic TV.. the new series Hawaii Five-0 is well worth a watch - 3rd episode due out next week. (I'm not usually a fan of re-makes, but this is good - I thought) Here's the original opening credits to bring back some memories: http://goo.gl/gT5S (Oh, and if y...

Shocking and inexcusable.

It will be interesting to see whether American law forbidding payments will be enforced if this is proven to be authentic. Hopefully they (the US) won't look the other way this time.

Hey, I remember the singing ringing tree - that was weird. I don't remember being scared - but do remember being fascinated by it. There was a bear in it - IIRC?? Agree with Battlestar Galactica - although it got a bit weird at the end (jumped the shark, imo). Are you old enough to remember 'the fla...

Bloody outrageous - there's no Islamic ruling saying that selling food during Ramadhan is forbidden. I did a quick Google search and couldn't (immediately) find a news source for this story (a few blogs certainly are carrying it, saying they got three lashes). In August they flogged 5 people, for cr...
