US author: I've come to appreciate Iran

02-09-2010 12:59

Women Against War's billboard displayed in Albany, New York (April-June 2008)
What my first trip to Iran in 2007 taught me is this: From the school children to the police officers to the college students to laborers to the Revolutionary Guard, no one in Iran obviously has been taught to hate Americans and no one was preparing the Iranian people to go to war with Americans.

Saturday 28th August brought the EDL to Bradford for the BIG one. Seeing as the word big contains just one syllable we have to assume they understand what that means. After the event (such as it was), they can only call it one big pathetic failure.

“Sacred” Ground Zero

31-08-2010 18:26

If American whites practiced what many of them preach to Muslims, they would ban themselves from building cultural institutions of any kind in much of the United States, since so many places are sites of depraved atrocities and mass killings of people of color by whites.
