'Enjoy rape' remark puts India's top investigator under fire The director of India's top investigation agency faces fierce criticism over his controversial comment, “if you can't prevent rape, you enjoy it”. Rights campaigners demanded the resignation of the country’s top investigator. "It is sickening that a man, who is in charge of several rape investigations, should use such an analogy. He should be prosecuted for degrading and insulting women," local politician Brinda Karat told The Hindu newspaper. The head of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Ranjit Sinha, made the remark while speaking on legalizing betting in sports. Ranjit Sinha (AFP Photo / Sajjad…

(bismillah) ‘Boys go to Baghdad...’ By Gwynne Dyer It’s impossible to say whether the United States will attack Iran before President George W. Bush leaves office in seventeen months’ time, because nobody in the White House knows yet either. It is easy to predict what would happen if the US did attack Iran, however, and the signs are that the hawks in the White House are winning that argument. The most alarming sign is the news that the Bush administration is about to brand the Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a “terrorist organisation.” This is a highly provocative step, for the IRGC is not a bunch of fanatical freelances. It is a 125,000-strong official ar…

'I just murdered my parents' Dylan Welch October 23, 2008 - 4:23PM The mother of a teenage schoolboy who stabbed his father dead saw him holding a kitchen knife in a window reflection as she prepared his breakfast, a Sydney court heard today. The student's mother was also stabbed with the 25-centimetre knife, but was able to contact police while her son changed his blood-soaked shirt after the morning attack. Police arrived at the family's home just after 7am on May 25. The teenager, who cannot be named, appeared in Parramatta Children's Court today, dressed in prison greens, chubby-cheeked and with his head shaved. He sat quietly as he was committed to trial in the Supre…

''Iraqi fighters: 'We will send them back the bodies of their soldiers''' Printed on Sunday, June 22, 2003 @ 08:00:12 CDT ( ) By Firas Al-Atraqchi YellowTimes.org Columnist (Canada) (YellowTimes.org) – Somewhere in America someone is itching to say, "I told you so." Elsewhere in the world millions of people laugh, scoff, mock, and launch vitriol and hyperbole when discussing America's role in the world. All of a sudden, the so-called victory in Iraq, which was neither a military nor a popular victory, is beginning to look like a public relations disaster. Consider the facts: Iraqis today fare far worse than they did under Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. Yes,…

''Only Muslims can be terrorists?'' Printed on Friday, July 11, 2003 @ 00:00:38 CDT ( ) By Kamran Memon and Parvez Ahmed YellowTimes.org Guest Columnist (United States) (YellowTimes.org) – Robert Jay Goldstein is not a "Jewish terrorist." After all, neither God nor His prophets ever condoned the murder of innocent human beings. If a Jew engages in terrorism, the blame falls on him, not on his religion. That much we can all agree upon. But that is where our paths diverge. In August 2002, Goldstein was arrested near his home in St. Petersburg, Florida. In his possession were forty weapons, thirty explosive devices, a list of fifty mosques and a detailed plan to b…

''The worst kind of lie'' Printed on Wednesday, July 09, 2003 @ 00:05:05 CDT ( ) By John Chuckman YellowTimes.org Columnist (Canada) (YellowTimes.org) – A few years sometimes make a big difference in human affairs. A few years ago, an American president was put through the 18th century ordeal of impeachment, a vast, expensively-staged comic opera of white manes waving and grave baritones intoning, over a dribble on a dress and the lie he told to save himself embarrassment. Today we have a president who has hurled the world into two dirty, pointless wars after what undoubtedly qualifies as the longest sequence of public lies ever uttered in a free society, and ye…

Pro-Israel Rally Attended by Big-Time NY Dems Descends into Calls for 'Wiping Out' Palestinians On January 11, an estimated 10,000 people rallied in front of the Israeli consulate in midtown New York in support of Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip. The rally, which was organized by UJA-Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York in cooperation with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, featured speeches by New York’s most senior lawmakers. While the crowd was riled to righteous anger by speeches about Hamas evildoers, the event was a festive affair that began and ended with singing and joyous dancing. Sen. C…

'10 buildings for every rocket' by Monday 24 July 2006 9:56 AM GMT Southern Beirut has been hit by repeated Israeli air strikes The Israeli air force has been ordered to hit 10 buildings in south Beirut - where Hezbollah has its headquarters - for every rocket the group fires at the Israeli port of Haifa.

Israel says while 100 warplanes are enough for a raid on Iran they cannot conclusively deal with the Islamic Republic's capabilities. Following reports of an early June long-range Mediterranean exercise by Israeli military that appeared to be a practice for real sorties over Iran, unnamed Israeli officials made comments on different scenarios of a possible war on Iran. "We are talking about regular 'large-package' maneuvers involving scores of aircraft, which are clearly aimed at Iran, given the scale and distances involved," said one Israeli official. The unnamed officials said the Israeli air force would be unlikely to deliver more than a one-time blow to an Iranian …

Again? Who is responsible? Saudi funded Takfiris and Baathists? or some unknown British agents? Scores dead in Iraq bomb blasts At least 127 people have been killed and more than 400 others wounded in a series of bomb attacks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, police say.

(salam) (bismillah) The Iranian Society of the Supporters of the Freedom of the Noble al-Quds noted in its special message dated May 15, 2010 [the anniversary of the occupation] that, after many years, the trend of the events and developments on the arena of the international and regional relations made the Muslim Ummah (nations) aware of the fact that one of the greatest obstacles in the way of Palestine's freedom is the rule of the rulers who are dependent on and the puppets of the camp of the international Zionism in the Muslim countries from the Arab Middle East to North Africa. In this regard, the fall of the United States and Israel-dependent monarchy in Iran and…

Afghanistan: Led by donkeys Editorial The Guardian, Friday 10 July 2009 Article history It is harsh to claim that British soldiers are dying needlessly in Afghanistan, particularly on those families whose lives are scarred permanently by their loss. But Nick Clegg was right yesterday to break the cross-party consensus by questioning out loud what is going on there. It is not good enough for the defence secretary, Bob Ainsworth, to strike Churchillian tones by saying the way forward will be hard and dangerous, and then plead for public forbearance. The business of government is to set a goal and provide a strategy for getting there. In Afghanistan we have neither. And the…

Baghdad says Ahmadinejad's visit to Iraq will be 'historic' since it marks the first visit by an Iranian president to the country. "Tehran has not yet announced a date for the visit by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Iraq, but it has welcomed the invitation extended by Iraqi President Jalal Talabani," Iraqi Government Spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh told Voices of Iraq. Al-Dabbagh added that the next round of Iran-US talks on Iraq's security will start as soon as Tehran sets a date. "Baghdad and Washington officials are looking forward to the finalization of a date for a new round of Iran-US-Iraq talks," the Iraqi official concluded. MP/AA/RE

Expert: Al Qaeda is in league with U.S. against Iran In a video released Monday Al Qaeda leaders slammed Teheran accusing Iran of giving way to the US, by allowing it invade Afghanistan and Iraq. Some experts believe the terrorist organization is trying to undermine support for Iran amidst continued speculation about possible military operations against it, by the United States. In a 90 minute video shown on Al Jazeera TV channel, Al Qaeda’s deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahiri doubted the Iranian Government’s anti-American stance and claimed Teheran was in alliance with ‘the Crusade’ against Muslim nations. “This statement is absolutely in tune with the interests of the USA,…

'Al-Qaeda' is a Manufactured Intelligence Front Kawther Salam During the past weeks, two American hostages have been killed and decapitated in Iraq and in Saudi Arabia. The media say that these crimes were comitted by Islamic Terrorists. I have never read any Islamic Rule in the Koran which allows the decapitation of people whether they are Muslems, Christians or Jews, for any reason whatsoever. I have never read an Islamic Rule which states that the killing of hostages is allowed. All what I remember that Islam has to say in this matter is that somebody who kills a “believer” unlawfully is sanctioned the same as if he had killed all the worlds nations. The word “beli…

The suspect was arrested on Monday night along with a suspected local kidnapping ring, Colonel Lloyd Miles of the 25th Infantry Division said at the US military base at Kirkuk's airport. Miles provided no further details about the detainee, but said troops arrested eight Iraqis suspected of involvement in a recent wave of tit-for-tat kidnappings between Kurds and Arabs.

Thu Jan 13, 1:07 PM ET Entertainment - Reuters LONDON (Reuters) - British comedian Sasha Baron Cohen escaped a near-riot at an American rodeo while filming his satirical "Da Ali G Show." According to a report in the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, a man who was introduced as Boraq Sagdiyev from Kazakhstan -- in reality a Cohen character named Borat -- appeared at the rodeo over the weekend after organizers agreed to have him sing the national anthem. After telling the crowd he supported America's war on terrorism, he said, "I hope you kill every man, woman and child in Iraq (news - web sites), down to the lizards ... And may George W. Bush drink the blood of every man, wom…

TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran's ambassador to the United Nations has urged U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan and the U.N. Security Council to stop "Washington's illegal and impudent threats against Iran," the state-run Iranian news agency IRNA reported. Later in the day, the United Nations acknowledged having received the letter. "U.S. officials are impudently threatening Iran with use of force in blatant contravention of international law and the basic principles of United Nations Charter," Mohammad Javad Zarif said in the letter. "U.S. threats against Iran have found new dimension to the extent that U.S. dailies are publishing stories about possibility of aggression on I…

French President Emmanuel Macron has bemoaned the decision by his US counterpart to withdraw troops from Syria. Such a move is unbecoming of any "ally," since they should be "reliable" and "fight shoulder to shoulder," he said. "I very deeply regret the decision made on Syria," Macron said on Sunday, speaking at a news conference during his visit to Chad. Earlier this week, Donald Trump announced his move to withdraw US troops from the country, citing the "defeat" of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS). While the US president had promised to do this previously, the actual decision apparently caught many by surprise. To be allies is to fight shoulder to…

Greetings World -- For too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair at the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called "Occupied Territories" by the Israeli Defense Force. Or as some call it, the largest open air prison in the world Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. The insane attack and subsequent threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same terror and threats the world has seen for generations When the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all Internet and other telecommunications into and out of Gaza they crossed a line …

This article in a serious British newspaper seems to be suggesting that photos of nude children are ok, as long as it is in the name of 'art'. When the police removed photographs of nude children from the Saatchi Gallery in 2001, the photographer turned out to be the children’s own mother, who expressed bewilderment that anyone could find her family snapshots anything but innocent. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml.../nbaltic225.xml Lady it's not you we are worried about, it's the pedaetricians jacking off in front of those photos. Article then cites the following French phrase: Honi soit qui mal y pense. Which means 'evil be to the one who thinks it'. So we sh…

[iNTERVIEW] 'Attack on Iran Strengthens its Regime' by Ali Cimen Published: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 zaman.com Iran, which has been undergoing turbulent relations with the West since Ahmedinecad was chosen as president, has now become the main item of the agendas of the world’s super powers due to its highly suspect nuclear program. Though Iranian officials constantly give assurances that they only hope to benefit from nuclear energy, the US, Israel and others share the fear that Iran might misuse the rods, part of the process of producing nuclear energy, and use them to build nuclear weapons in the future. The famous question of recent days: Will America attack Iran? T…

'Attack' on US embassy in Syria The US embassy in Damascus is reported to have come under attack, with reports of heavy gunfire and loud explosions. Security forces have sealed off the Rawda area, which houses other embassies, security installations and senior officials' residences. There has been no official confirmation of developments in Damascus, which has seen sporadic unrest in recent years. Syria is an authoritarian state where the security forces exert tight control on the population and the media. A security source told the BBC it is believed Syrian forces may have foiled a bomb attack on the US embassy. Ambulances and fire engines were seen rushing to the …

(bismillah) Source: http://www.iranmania.com/News/ArticleView/...rrent%20Affairs LONDON, May 28 (IranMania) - Video-gamers in Iran can now take on the military might of the United States, and rescue a nuclear engineer kidnapped in neighboring Iraq, the semi-official Fars agency said. The game's plotline revolves around Saeed Kusha, a 30-year-old Iranian engineer abducted by American troops in Iraq while on pilgrimage with his wife to the Shiite holy site of Karbala, according to an AFP report. When they discover who he is and what he does for a living, American forces decide to kidnap him. "Commander Bahman" is appointed head of a special task force to track down and free…

(bismillah) An Iranian diplomat says the Bahraini regime's use of foreign forces to quell popular protests is a “dangerous trend” in the Middle East. “Iran believes that what happens in Bahrain is entirely a Bahraini issue and the introduction of foreign forces complicates the situation. The fact that a country has turned to foreign forces to crack down on its own people is a dangerous trend in the region,” said Iran's Ambassador to Oman Hossein Noushabadi, quoted by Mehr News Agency. Noushabadi made the remarks at a press conference in the Omani capital of Muscat on Wednesday. “Based on our query, the [Persian Gulf Cooperation Council's] mutual protection pact is for t…

I'm getting tired of following threads, because I have to go through 'Basra's spams in every thread. You may disagree with my views on certain political matters, but please acknowledge Basra is making it more difficult to read and follow threads. 'Basra' has consistently posted in MULTIPLE threads with the IDENTICAL images and videos and same text (perhaps a few words changed). His posts are long and distracting. However, his ultimate goal is to make every post of his with lots of images and videos so that it grabs the reader's attention from valid and contributing posts from other users. If you disagree with him or post something not in line with his conspiracy views, he…

With all due respect, brother, this is total nonsense. Not everyone agrees on politics. The OP is right: Iran is not the country that represents Shia Islam in the slightest or has the right to claim immunity, and this is an insult to suggest that anyone who is critical of the country is just “repeating propaganda”. This has nothing to do with propaganda. Let’s look at the facts. IRI has made some bold statements throughout the years that are outlandish. They’ve failed to provide good lives to the people of their country, oppress anyone who speaks out against the government, and have taken advantage of people while inflation has skyrocketed. People can’t afford anything anymore. And when people try to protest, they start killing thousands of people and scare them into compliance. Even divorce judges, where you’d expect judges to treat people according to law and fairness, will tell vulnerable women to sleep with them while they are still married to grant them a divorce. Does this sound like Islam to you? -
Islam is not political. Khomeini was not the spokesperson of Islam to claim a statement like that. Islam is a religion.

Now it seems like shiachat itself is blocked on my network. Censorship of shia discussion is very real.
