The political correctness scoreboard the score was Iran 1, USA 0 because the Team USA dancers were required to wear long pants in what was called a “nod to Muslim law.”
Nothing to cheer about: Team USA cheerleaders cover up for Team Iran
Team USA kicked Iran’s ass in the basketball world championships. The final score was the United States 88, Iran 51.
But on the political correctness scoreboard the score was Iran 1, USA 0 because the Team USA dancers were required to wear long pants in what was called a “nod to Muslim law.”
The Associated Press uncovered the cover-up:
[In] a nod to the Iranian supporters in Istanbul — which included minister of sports Ali Saeedlou earlier in the tournament — dancers were ordered to cover up for their performances during the game. Islam prohibits women from exposing their skin in public, and Iranian officials had turned their backs when the dancers performed in earlier games.
The dancers wore long pants Wednesday.
This, of course, is in sharp contrast to the way the Obama administration normally drops its pants for the Iranians.
If, as liberals would have you believe, conservatives are rabidly anti-Muslim, they would certainly be against having mosques in their own neighborhoods. But a tidbit buried in a new Newsweek poll shows just the opposite.

CBS4 in Miami reveals the interesting Islamic insights:
Site of the newest mosque in Washington, DC?
A new Newsweek poll of registered voters highlights the divide between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents over the issue of Islam and President Barack Obama.
According to the poll, 51 percent of Republicans think it’s definitely or probably true that President Obama ”sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world.”
In addition, 59 percent of Republicans and 28 percent of political independents think “Obama favors the interests of Muslim Americans over other groups of Americans.”
The poll results come as conservative circles have exploded in furor over a proposed Muslim community center that would be built a few blocks away from the former home of the World Trade Center. However, the poll found that 72 percent said it would be okay if a Muslim group wanted to build a mosque in their community.
In response, a liberal spokesman said, “Yeah, but…yeah, but…yeah, but….”
Why must late night comedians do the job that supposedly legitimate reporters won’t do? Jimmy Kimmel’s ace staff found an old video clip that answers the questions about Obama’s religious beliefs once and for all.

Add liberal New York Times columnist (pardon our redundancy) Thomas Friedman to the list of those who think President Obama is Muslim. At least that’s our takeaway from his latest column.
Add liberal New York Times columnist (pardon our redundancy) Thomas Friedman to the list of those who think President Obama is Muslim. At least that’s our takeaway from his latest column.
The New York Times Thomas Friedman in the middle of having a deep thought
Speaking of South Africa’s whites, Mandela adds, “We have to surprise them with restraint and generosity.”
I love that line: “We have to surprise them.” I was watching the movie on an airplane and scribbled that line down on my napkin because it summarizes what is missing today in so many places: leaders who surprise us by rising above their histories, their constituencies, their pollsters, their circumstances–and just do the right things for their countries.
According to Friedman’s theory, Islam needs “a very special leader” who can lead “a political surge by Arabs and Muslims to heal intracommunal divides.” So far, so good. But this is where Friedman’s theory goes off the tracks. Seriously off the tracks.
It would be great if President Obama surprised everyone and gave another speech in Cairo–or Baghdad–saying that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BrDsH0ECHASay what? Is Friedman suggesting that he thinks Obama can become Islam’s “very special leader”? Doesn’t that say, by definition, that Obama is Muslim? And isn’t that the kind of thing Friedman would normally accuse conservatives of saying?
Let’s just consider ourselves lucky that the airline didn’t show this cartoon before the movie or Friedman may have proposed that Mickey Mouse become Islam’s special leader.
We used to be vehemently opposed to the Ground Zero mosque. Then Charlie Rangel used his unparalleled powers of persuasion to change our minds.
Charlie Rangel, the independent voice of reason
We used to be vehemently opposed to the Ground Zero mosque. Then Charlie Rangel used his unparalleled powers of persuasion to change our minds.
Embattled Congressman Charlie Rangel came out in support of the Ground Zero mosque yesterday, saying people “should be cooperative.”
Rangel said the issue is not political.
“It’s so painful that Republicans and Democrats are using religion as a political tool,” Rangel said. “The Constitution is clear,” the pol said at a charity event in Harlem.
Translation: “Maybe if I act like some kind of independent voice of reason, everyone will forget that I’m the most corrupt Congressman in the last 30 years.”
Everyone at those upper East side cocktail parties thinks a mosque at Ground Zero is just a dandy idea, so that must mean everyone supports it.
Covers like this demonstrate just how out of touch the Eastern media elite is with the rest of America.
Everyone at those upper East side cocktail parties thinks a mosque at Ground Zero is just a dandy idea, so that must mean everyone supports it.
What’s that? Polls show that more than 60% of all Americans are against it? Piffle. Those are just the little people beyond the Hudson. And their opinions don’t count.
It hasn’t been a good week for Ground Zero mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his wife. She stuck her foot in her mouth on Sunday’s This Week, and some tapes have just been discovered that are going to make him regret some things he said back in 2005.

Such as, “We tend to forget, in the West, that it has blood on its hands of innocent non-Muslims. You may remember that the US lead sanction against Iraq lead to the death of over half a million Iraqi children.”
Then he tossed in a random n-word just to polish up his message of tolerance.
Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Ground Zero mosque’s imam, has a wife. Her name is Daisy Khan and she’s just as friggin’ whacked out as he is.
Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Ground Zero mosque’s imam, has a wife. Her name is Daisy Khan and she’s just as friggin’ whacked out as he is.
FOX Nation reports Daisy’s delusions:
(ABC’s “This Week” host Christiane) Amanpour asked Khan if America was Islamophobic.
“This is like a metastasized anti-Semitism, that’s what we feel right now,” Khan said. “It’s not even Islamophobia, it’s beyond Islamophobia; it’s hate of Muslims. And we are deeply concerned.”
Translation: “Hey, pal, we’re not Jews. You can’t treat us like we treat them.”
Johnny Rotten: “Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won’t understand how anyone can have a problem with how they’re treated.”
Johnny Rotten, one of the greatest stage names ever
John Lydon, lead singer of the seminal British punk rock band The Sex Pistols while using the stage name Johnny Rotten, isn’t happy with critics of his upcoming show in Tel Aviv:
“I really resent the presumption that I’m going there to play to right-wing Nazi Jews. If Elvis-f-ing-Costello wants to pull out of a gig in Israel because he’s suddenly got this compassion for Palestinians, then good on him. But I have absolutely one rule, right? Until I see an Arab country, a Muslim country, with a democracy, I won’t understand how anyone can have a problem with how they’re treated.”
As Tim Blair said, “Hot-for-Palestine British leftists are furious, of course. Lydon began his career by offending fussy old monarchists, and now he’s found an even more hidebound and traditionalist bunch to upset.”
The first Muslim Arab Miss USA, Rima Fakih, but she’s against the Ground Zero mosque. Yet she has somehow convinced herself that those two positions aren’t contradictory.
Miss USA Rima Fakih. The number one reason to ban the burka.
The first Muslim Arab Miss USA, Rima Fakih, is conflicted. Very conflicted.
She loves President Obama, but she’s against the Ground Zero mosque. Yet she has somehow convinced herself that those two positions aren’t contradictory.
The bikini-clad hottie took time out of her busy Miss Universe pageant schedule to wax philosophically:
“I totally agree with President Obama with the statement on the constitutional rights of freedom of religion,” said Fakih. But the 24-year-old says while she supports freedom of religion in America, the people behind the mosque should consider the feelings of the families who lost loved ones on 9/11. ”It shouldn’t be so close to the World Trade Center. We should be more concerned with the tragedy than religion,” said Fakih.
Ladies and gentlemen, Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih. No fat, no fatwa.
New York Times writer Jeff Zeleney guested on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown” to discuss the issue and he exposed the president as a part time holy roller, with more of his Sunday mornings spent tending to putting than praying.
A new Pew Research poll shows that an increasing number of Americans (one in five) now believe Barack Obama is a Muslim. (NOTE: A Time poll also released Thursday says 24% of voters believe the President is a Muslim.)
New York Times writer Jeff Zeleney guested on MSNBC’s “The Daily Rundown” to discuss the issue and he exposed the president as a part time holy roller, with more of his Sunday mornings spent tending to putting than praying.
No surprise to the American public there, but it was astounding to hear what the White House’s solution to the poll will be. Zeleney advised host Chuck Todd that Obama will now switch to campaign mode (at the 4:09 mark of the video).
“What does the president do almost every Sunday?” Zeleney asked. “He plays golf. I think now you’ll be seeing Obama go to church more, white churches, black churches, you name it churches, to show he is Christian.”
So Obama will limit his golf outings to attend Sunday services, not to pray and worship, but to make political hay. The president’s handicap isn’t nineteen, it’s his pandering.
Co-host Savannah Guthrie attempted to end the segment by reminding viewers that the poll was taken before the President’s remarks on the Ground Zero mosque, implying that the numbers might even be worse now. But cohost and White House water boy Todd couldn’t let the segment close on a negative note so he interrupted to tell viewers “The President gets a daily Bible verse sent to his Blackberry. Every. Single. Day.”
But tell us, Chuck, does he also get passages from the Koran? And which does he delete, which does he read?
It really is amazing that Nancy Pelosi represents a “safe” Democrat seat, because the woman is positively Orwellian. She thinks anyone who opposes the Ground Zero mosque should be investigated.

“There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque being funded,” she said. “How is this being ginned up that here we are talking about Treasure Island, something we’ve been working on for decades, something of great interest to our community as we go forward to an election about the future of our country and two of the first three questions are about a zoning issue in New York City.”
Poor Nancy. After throwing trillions of tax dollars in a misguided attempt to save the economy, she seems to a bit confused by the concept of opposition that’s funded privately.
Even a liberal stalwart like ABC’s Cokie Roberts isn’t buying Obama’s conflicting spin on his Ground Zero mosque comments. She’s not buying any of it.
Even a liberal stalwart like ABC’s Cokie Roberts isn’t buying Obama’s conflicting spin on his Ground Zero mosque comments. She’s not buying any of it.
On This Week, she said she believes President Obama “very clearly” endorsed the Ground Zero Mosque in his remarks at last week’s White House Ramadan Dinner. Then she called his clarification of those remarks “silly.”
“He’s already taken all the flak for having said it,” Roberts said. “It’s silly.”
That’s where Cokie is wrong. He hasn’t even begun to see the flak yet. And neither has his party.
President Obama threw a big pre-Ramadan dinner at the White House on Friday night for an A-List of Muslim diplomats and supporters of terrorism.
Just because Islam has always been part of Barack Hussein Obama doesn't mean it's always been part of America
President Obama threw a big pre-Ramadan dinner at the White House on Friday night for an A-List of Muslim diplomats and supporters of terrorism. Among his wacky comments was this one:
“And here in the United States, Ramadan is a reminder that Islam has always been part of America and that American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.”
Say what?
It may seem like an outrageous, ignorant statement until you remember that in Obama’s mind, America wasn’t really founded until 19 months ago.
You know there’s a problem when Joe Biden starts to sound like the intelligent one in this administration.
Indonesia’s top Islamic body declared Tuesday that Muslims can drink civet coffee—the world’s most expensive coffee, which is extracted from the dung of civet cats.
This is a civet or as it's known in Indonesia, the coffee maker.
Don’t call it a frappé, call it a crappé. Breitbart reports the tale of the lousy Indonesian latté:
Indonesia’s top Islamic body declared Tuesday that Muslims can drink civet coffee—the world’s most expensive coffee, which is extracted from the dung of civet cats.
A preacher recently suggested the beverage might not be “halal”—or religiously approved—because its unusual provenance makes it unclean. But after a long discussion Tuesday, the influential Indonesian Ulema Council said that the coffee, known locally as Kopi Luwak, could be consumed as long as the beans were washed.
This photo has absolutely nothing to do with this story, but WTF?
Kopi Luwak, which takes it name from the Indonesian word for civets, is made from hard beans that have been eaten by the nocturnal critters and then fermented in their stomachs before being pooped out and roasted. Civet cats are mongoose-like animals.
It’s highly prized for its smooth flavor and bitterless aftertaste, sometimes fetching well over $200 a pound ($440 per kilogram) online.
“Kopi Luwak can be declared ‘halal’ after passing through a washing process,” said Maruf Amien, acting head of the council. “Producing, selling and drinking it is allowed.”
“I’d like a tall, half-skinny, half-1%, extra hot split quad shot latte with light whip. And my friend would like a a cup of cat crap coffee.”
Blind passengers are being ordered off buses or refused taxi rides because Muslim drivers or passengers object to their ‘unclean’ guide dogs.
Democrats should remember the words of Yogi Berra, "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
This story may come from Great Britain, but don’t kid yourself. It will happen here soon enough.
The Daily Mail UK has this story of liberal constituencies in conflict:
Blind passengers are being ordered off buses or refused taxi rides because Muslim drivers or passengers object to their ‘unclean’ guide dogs … George Herridge, 73, a retired hospital maintenance manager, told the Daily Mail he was ‘stunned’ to be twice asked by bus drivers to leave their vehicles because of his guide dog Andy, a black Labrador.
Mr Herridge, who lives with wife Janet, 69, in Tilehurst, Reading, said that on the first occasion two years ago, he got off at the request of a Muslim driver because some Muslim children on board were ‘screaming’ because of the dog.
He found himself in a similar scenario in May last year, when a Muslim woman and her children became ‘hysterical’.
Which constituency will the liberals side with when this happens in the United States? Those with physical disabilities or those with mental disabilities?
Under normal circumstances, we’d say liberals would always support the side that’s against religion. But since we’re talking about Islam here, all bets are off.
Saudi women plan to turn a controversial fatwa (religious ruling) to their advantage and launch a campaign to achieve their long-standing demand to drive in this conservative kingdom. If the demand is not met, the women threatened to follow through the fatwa which allows them to breastfeed their drivers and turn them into their sons.
"Cab driver" is now the most sought-after job in Saudi Arabia
Saudi women have come up with a unique way to protest laws that prohibit them from driving.
QatarLiving.com keeps you abreast of the news:
Saudi women plan to turn a controversial fatwa (religious ruling) to their advantage and launch a campaign to achieve their long-standing demand to drive in this conservative kingdom. If the demand is not met, the women threatened to follow through the fatwa which allows them to breastfeed their drivers and turn them into their sons.
The campaign will be launched under the slogan: “We either be allowed to drive or breastfeed foreigners,” a journalist told Gulf News. Amal Zahid said that their decision follows a fatwa issued by a renowned scholar which said that Saudi women can breastfeed their foreign drivers for them to become their sons.
The renowned scholar said Saudi women can breastfeed their foreign drivers for them to be become their sons and brothers to their daughters. Under this relationship, foreign drivers can mix freely with all members of the family without breaking the Islamic rule which does not allow mixing of genders. Breast milk kinship is considered to be as good as a blood relationship in Islam. “A woman can breastfeed a mature man so that he becomes her son. In this way, he can mix with her and her daughters without violating the teachings of Islam,” the scholar said.
This news just in: New York City cab drivers have besieged city hall, demanding that a similar fatwa be issued in the Big Apple.
The demand for virgins is considerably higher in Afghanistan than it is in, say, Al Gore’s hotel room. And as long as idiot jihadists keep blowing themselves up with their own bombs, that situation should remain unchanged.
Another 15 jihadists have requisitioned their allotment of virgins
The demand for virgins is considerably higher in Afghanistan than it is in, say, Al Gore’s hotel room. And as long as idiot jihadists keep blowing themselves up with their own bombs, that situation should remain unchanged.
MonstersAndCritics.com has the details on the jihadists’ latest virgin requisition:
15 Islamists, including foreign fighters, have blown themselves up when the bombs they were building detonated prematurely inside an Afghan Mosque.
Eight Arab, five Pakistani and two Afghan militants were killed when bombs they were making exploded prematurely inside a mosque in eastern Afghanistan, the Interior Ministry said Sunday.
The insurgents were assembling bombs in Desi Mosque of Yousifkhela district in the south-eastern province of Paktika on Friday, the ministry said.
Pakika borders the Pakistani town of Wana, where Taliban militants are said to have training bases. Afghan officials have repeatedly blamed Islamabad for not doing enough to clamp down on cross-border infiltration by insurgents.
Got that? They blew themselves up while making bombs in a mosque. But if our troops were to storm that mosque, we would undoubtedly hear the dreary refrain that it was one of the holiest sites in all of Islam.
And holy it would appear to be, at least for those who worship wanton death and destruction.
We would consider it an honor to be monitored and blocked by Pakistan’s Islamic extremists. It would be, perhaps, the highest honor that can be bestowed in the blogosphere.
Will this be enough to get IHateTheMedia.com blocked in Pakistan?
IHateTheMedia.com is not an anti-Islamic site. Not even close. Sure, we occasionally run stories on Islamic extremists and lunacy they engage in around the world, but that’s just reporting reality.
That being said, we would consider it an honor to be monitored and blocked by Pakistan’s Islamic extremists. It would be, perhaps, the highest honor that can be bestowed in the blogosphere.
The Associated Press reports on Pakistan’s preemptory perfidy:
Pakistan will monitor seven major websites, including Google and Yahoo, to block anti-Islamic links and content, an official said Friday. Seventeen lesser-known sites are being blocked outright for alleged blasphemous material.
The moves follow Pakistan’s temporary ban imposed on Facebook in May that drew both praise and condemnation in a country that has long struggled to figure out how strict a version of Islam it should follow.
Both the Facebook ban and the move announced Friday were in response to court orders. The sites to be monitored include those of Yahoo Inc., Google Inc. and its YouTube service, Amazon.com Inc. and MSN, Hotmail and Bing from Microsoft Corp., said Pakistan Telecommunication Authority spokesman Khurram Mehran.
“If any particular link with offensive content appears on these websites, the (link) shall be blocked immediately without disturbing the main website,” Mehran said.
Have we mentioned that Muhammad was a child molester?
An 8-year old child was caught stealing bread in an Iranian market. He is about to be punished “in the name of Islam” by having his arm crushed under a car.
UPDATE: We were duped and we apologize for the screw-up. Turns out these guys are common street hustlers, 21st century fakirs. But as TDK, the reader who alerted us to the fraud said, “There is plenty of direct evidence of (Muslim) stonings of women, hanging of opponents from cranes, locking girls in a burning school because they weren’t dressed ‘appropriately’, to need supplementing by grey evidence like this.” OK, that sentence may have been a bit convoluted, but TDK’s point is clear and valid.
The background story: An 8-year old child was caught stealing bread in an Iranian market. He is about to be punished “in the name of Islam” by having his arm crushed under a car.
These people are still living in the Dark Ages. For those liberal lunatics who want to pigeonhole us racists, let’s make it clear that we’re not condemning all Muslims. But we are condemning the ones who condone actions like this and the ones don’t speak out against it, just as we condemn those Muslims who condone terrorism and the ones who don’t speak out against it.
When you see photos like this, you must realize that turning a blind eye to the dark side of Islam is no longer an option.
The German government just spent thousands of dollars on research to determine if devout Muslims were more prone to violence than non-devout Muslims when they have learned the same thing by spending 25¢ on the morning newspaper and reading the headlines.
Devout, young Muslims practicing the Religion of Peace.
The German government must have lots of extra cash lying around. They just spent thousands of dollars on research to determine if devout Muslims were more prone to violence than non-devout Muslims when they have learned the same thing by spending 25¢ on the morning newspaper and reading the headlines.
MonstersAndCritics.com has the obvious results of the poll:
The more devout a young Muslim male in Germany is, the more likely he is to resort to violence, according to a federally financed study seen Saturday by the German Press Agency dpa.
The study, based on interviews with 45,000 boys and girls aged 14 to 16, also concluded that male supremacist views and a preference for violent videos and computer games link closely with mosque attendance among the young. It compared Christians and Muslims.
Pardon us while we pause to catch our breath, because we never saw this coming. (PAUSE) OK, let’s go to the big conclusion now.
In a conclusion, the authors said the finding might be explained by hypotheses of Rauf Ceylan, an ethnic Turkish scholar in Germany who studies religion.
They said Ceylan had discovered that a majority of mosque clergy in Germany encouraged their congregations to practice a conservative form of Islam and to preserve their ethnic roots.
Devout Muslims are more violence prone than non-devout Muslims and Christians?
This worldwide obesity chart shows the four countries with the fattest women are Qatar, Saudi Arabia, West Bank/Gaza and Lebanon. Suddenly, we understand why Muslim men demand that their women wear the burkha.

Tavis Smiley is a moron. But he’ll be quick to tell you that he’s a Christian moron. Albeit, a Christian moron who believes his Christian brothers and sisters commit mass murder on a daily basis.
Tavis Smiley is a moron. But he’ll be quick to tell you that he’s a Christian moron. Albeit, a Christian moron who believes his Christian brothers and sisters commit mass murder on a daily basis.
Here he is in a discussion with Ayann Hirsi-Ali:
Ayann Hirsi-Ali: Somehow this guy got in his mind that killing other people would be a great thing to do and he would be rewarded for it in the hereafter… Smiley: But Christians do that every single day, in this country. Ali: Do they blow people up… Smiley: Yes, Christians, every day…people walk into post offices…people walk into post offices, they walk into schools, that’s what Columbine was. I mean, I could do this all day long. There are so many more examples of Christians — and I happen to be a Christian, that’s back to this notion of your idealizing Christianity in my mind, to my read — there are so many more examples, Ayaan, of Christians who do that than you could ever give me examples of Muslims who have done that inside this country in which you live and work.
Tavis is right, of course.
The papers are just full of stories about those rabid Christian extremists who gun down their loving Muslim brothers. When they’re not cutting their heads off, that is.
