#1 The Nazi parallels are starting to pile up. Who will be the US equivalent of Neville Chamberlain caterwauling "Peace In our Time"? Harry Reid? Teddy? Just wondering.

#2 Well, I'm no specialist of the Dhimmi Status(tm), but from what I've read, this is straight from the scriptures and the Sunna(tm), which requier dhimmis to wear special clothes so they can be identified by the faithful; the christian medieval pratice of having jews sport distinctive clothes or yellow rubbon was copied from the muslims. Also, if I recall, there were other clothing limitations for dhimmis, such as the jews in northern Africa (what's now Algeria) not being allowed to wear shoes outside of their ghettoes.

The taliban did the same, for buddhists and hinduist, as there are only an handful of jews in Afghanistan, and IIRC, that one one of the few occasions the West took a stance, because it played on its buttons (WWII, nazis,...).

#5 Going to be hard to deny the coming Holocaust.
Hoping this is the wakeup call to some.

#6 It's going to be hard to deny it, but deny it they will. Count on it.

#8 When this jerk claims the holocaust did not happpen just might be meaning the holocaust of WWII is nothing to the holocaust he is planning for the Jews and the west. He is building his nuclear arsinal, has stated his intent to destroy us, and we sit wondering. His first strike is gonna hurt.

#9 I don't think laser tagging Ahmahandjob will be enough. He speaks for the ruling clique.

#10 Never mind that! Who will be Paris Hilton's new Beau? What is Tom Cruise going to eat next? Is Jennifer Lopez Pregnant?

*These* are the important issues... Not what happens to a bunch of Jews and Christians. Besides these are muslims so it must be ok....

/Channelling the MSM.... or is it the German people of the 40's??? Hard to tell....

#12 Take out Qom with an industrial accident in their nuke industry... a flash accident.. They happen. Like that big dump in the late 50's in the USSR.

#13 I'm sure Russia and China could explain this for them in a satisfactory manner. They'll sell them the fabric to do it, that'll make it O.K. with them.

#14 We need to, very publically and very thoroughly blow Ahmadinejad's head off in front of a large assembly. This sh!thead must be taken to task for his vile blathering in a way that sends a direct message to all who would emulate him. That message would be, "Emulate him, and we'll blow you to straight to hell too!"

#15 There are Jews in Iran?!?!???

#16 prior to 1979 there were about 100,000 Jews in Iran. In the years following the revolution, about 75,000 left, mainly for Israel and the US (esp Los Angeles) There are still 25,000 Jews, largely older people who dont want to leave their homes and businesses. AFAIK they have largely been left in peace (unlike, say, the Bahais).

"His first strike is gonna hurt."

Yep! But not nearly as bad as our response. We have a Fleet Ballistic Missle force and they do not.

Once Iran sets off one of their firecrackers, if/when they get them, then we have carte blanche to set off a few of our own.

I envision that one day there will be robotic oil pumping stations and terminals in the ME, and not much else. Well...besides the radiation that is, and the pretty glowing things at night.

Must not overlook the pretty glowing things.

#18 Never again! We must not let this history repeat itself at any cost.

#19 Islam has for many years had a hard time forming a unified opinion on the holocaust.

About half say it never happened.
About half say Hitler should be commended.
About half say Hitler didn't go far enough.

It adds to over 100% because most people have more than one opinion.
