So-called comedy site pushes Islamophobia and invasion of Iran

Iran Defender | 02.10.2010 20:14 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

The war drums continue beating as the American "humour" site, The Onion, publishes a "story" replete with Islamophobic stereotypes about Iran in preperation for the invasion of said country.

This Zionist propaganda is very clever: It doesn't say that Iran should be bombed, but sneakily implies it by stating flat-out that Iran, a Muslims country, is backward and mysogenistic. This Islamophobic libel merely adds to the chorus of right wing Zionist lies screaming for war.

Judge for yourself:

See how it implies that women are regularly stoned to death in Iran, when in fact this hardly ever happens. See how it maligns the Iranian security forces loyalty by supposing that a militiaman might deveote anything less than 100% to their duty or might at any point flinch from carrying out the law.

How would these imperialists like it if Iranians printed a cartoon saying that all Americans were serial killers and gang members? Protests against this vicious slur against the Iranian people and the Muslim nation by demanding this site is shut down!
