Coincientally, I saw Wall Street 2 just the other day - not as good as the first film, but still watchable. The rich do get richer in the film and in real life. However, I've still yet to read how 'greed' can mitigate the effects of printing trillions of dollars of money (i.e. manufacturing dollars ...

I think it is a bit more than some people talking down the dollar or the US economy! ;) Isn't the issue that the 'fundamental' wealth of the USA is currently a massive deficit with no immediate prospect of a surplus to reduce the deficit (i.e. the amount of debt is increasing, and won't decrease unt...

Raymond Ibrahim - the Islamophobic Cash Cow! LOL http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/qaeda-terrorism-political-religious-t42665-15.html#p343570 Perhaps this time you will defend Ibrahim's reputation? But - are you trying to justify your conspiracy theory view? In a thread about your extre...

Is this why you're so agitated these days?: http://spencerwatch.com/2010/11/01/jihadwatch-afraid-to-debate-loonwatch/ Or perhaps it is because of this recent epic fail: http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/bomb-plot-muslim-tip-off-t43969.html#p352983 Or perhaps it is the talking donkey res...

The British Foreign Secretary promises to put a proposal to change British law so that Israelis accused of war crimes or other crimes against humanity can't be arrested in the UK. Israeli officials don't like it when they are faced with jurisdictions that take criminal acts seriously, but are quite ...

Sorry, which of the threads is causing you the anguish? I still can't see what the extremist threats have to do with libels against Jews and Christians. Ofcom criticised the channel for broadcasting extremists - some of whom rang into live programmes. I totally agree that there are Muslim equivalent...

A bizare story about a NY cab driver who tried to frame Muslims as anti-Semites by dropping leaflets which were meant to cause alarm amongst Jews. Perhaps this is where Pamela Geller etc get their information from. Certainly the conspiracy theorists believe that Mooslims are indeed out to get the Je...

This will be an interesting one to watch develop. Will the crazy Mullahs do a Ghadaffi and cave in and be welcomed back, and let the oil and gas flow West and suddenly become 'our tough guys in the region', or will they hold out like Hugo Chavez? Seems to me though, that as in Iraq before the second...

I love the Juice sign - numpties come in all shapes and sizes! The American education system has a lot to answer for!

Is there any indication that the NY Cabbie mis-spelled any of his false leaflets?

Cheers,

You do realise that this thread lists all your extreme views, eh - don't you? The fact you believe the conspiracy theory Moooslims are libelling Christians and Jews 'in the Muslim world' and use the likes of Raymond Ibrahim as a source (and still won't come out and defend him), is really telling. Yo...

shafique

So, rather than address your belief that it is ok to slaughter kids if you think God told the murderers to do it, you want to try and convince me that you're not a conspiracy nut for stating that Muslims spread libel against Christians and Jews in the Muslim world. I refer you to my previous comment...

^Indiansummer - your post has nothing to do with the Arab peace plan, or am I missing something? A 'moderate' Palestinian official: ... In other words a future Palestine has to be judenrein. Another quote that is unreferenced and is a typical reaction of those who are afraid of the Palestinians' 'Pe...

TJ - I agree completely with your analysis - both about the gamble that is QE2 and indeed what the consequences of a collapse in the dollar. The previous empire to go from strong economic power to debtor nation was the British Empire - WWII bankrupted the UK and it had to be bailed out by the USA (a...

shafique

Note, my point is that we're witnessing the death of the dollar - the patient is being given mouth-to-mouth, adrenaline and being jump started. But for it to become healthy again, it has to be backed up by real assets of value. I've yet to see a credible path that takes the US from a debtor nation w...

Let's say you're right - are you arguing that the Palestinians should therefore continue to live under occupation and be subject to Israel's apartheid rules in perpetuity? The elephant in the room is that despite the scare stories, the survey in the OP still state that it is in Israel's interests to...

^One word springs to mind. Hubris. One phrase: 'pride comes before a fall' - or the more precise Biblical proverb :"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." and one analogy: 'Dubai is not a bubble' (Ok, couldn't resist another one 'Japanese cars - what a joke, D...

shafique

The first sentence in my post was a question: Let's say you're right - are you arguing that the Palestinians should therefore continue to live under occupation and be subject to Israel's apartheid rules in perpetuity? Simple question really - should Israel continue to occupy land that it captured in...

shafique

Well, I agree this does show that there are ignorant people in all countries - Loony Pastors and Bob Spencer in the US are offended by a book they haven't actually read in full (the Quran), and these guys get offended over a dog's name. But hey, I suspect that the story will pan out to be another on...

Indiansummer - try and calm down. You're on course to be banned - again.

I have this vision of Khan also saying 'sausages' :

(I couldn't believe this clip was on youtube - ahh the memories of 'That's Life' ... 'and finally cyrill'...)

Now, that would be worth watching!

If I remember correctly, the coastal town of Jaffa was originally not going to be part of Israel in the plans drawn up by the UN in 1947 and signed by Israel (but rejected by the Palestinians). Jaffa was certainly a thriving town - with not just the orange groves it is famous for. The Palestinian Ar...

No violence, granted - just a few journalists, photo-editors and editors losing their jobs if it happened though.

It is interesting that the cartoon wasn't referenced, other than FD saying it appeared in a Jordanian newspaper. I suspect it is a Memri special - and I suspect that if it accompanied an anti-semitic article, that would have been published and highlighted by the young fanbois. But hey, why let conte...
