I agree the mullahs are the mob masters but a free Iran will also serve the Iranians the best who are sick and tired of these bastards.

Mary M is correct to point out Russia as a key source of trouble. The Islamists have their own reasons (Wahaabi, Muslim brotherhood and Shia) but the KGB has been a central actor in the region and continues to be as many articles I wrote in Midstream magazine between 1992 and 2000 demonstrated. The KGB is all over Iran, Russia is its key military supplier and Russia is all over Syria. As a result of Sadaam’s demise Russia lost that chess piece. Fatah has been a Moscow puppet for decades so looking for Abbas to replace Hamas is a mistake. Primakov, key Middle East liason for Brezhnev, Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Putin, said that revolution would be effectuated through Islam. Both movements are global in their aims despite their differences. The fact that Russia fought Islam in Afghanistan never stopped Sadaam or Assad or Arafat, or the Ayatollahs from working with Moscow. The global game is deep and complex but Israel and the US are on the same side and should be working in concert; yet Saudi influence seems to lead the US at key points to forget this and as in the pressure from Rice to make Israel leave the Philadelphi corridor the results backfire.

But, POTUS stated Islam was a religion of peace. Don’t forget, the CFR thinks everyone is good inside somewhere, all you have to do is talk to them long enough.

I wonder if it is as simple as hate. Hate for Jews. Could it be so simple a reason Islam wants Israel destroyed?

Maybe, some of you nice folks can find another reason why Hamas, Hizboallh, Iran, and all the other Muslims protesting across the West want Israel destroyed, or shall I dare write placed into ovens.

ROPMA!

Two Middle East mothers are sitting in a cafe chatting over a plate of tabouli and a pint of goat’s milk.

The older of the mothers pulls a bag out of her purse and starts flipping through photos. And they start reminiscing.

“This is my oldest son Mohammed. He would be 24 years old now.”
“Yes, I remember him as a baby” says the other mother cheerfully.
“He’s a martyr now though” mum confides.
“Oh, so sad dear” says the other.

“And this is my second son Kalid. He would be 21.”
“Oh, I remember him,” says the other happily, “he had such curly hair when he was born.”
“He’s a martyr too” says mum quietly.
“Oh, gracious me …” Says the other.

“And this is my third son. My baby….my beautiful Ahmed..”
“He would be 18″, she whispers.
“Yes” says the friend enthusiastically, “I remember when he first started school.”
“He’s a martyr also,” says mum, with tears in her eyes.

After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Muslim mother looks wistfully at the photographs and says…

“They blow up so fast, don’t they?”

Pat. J….The link between Hamas and Iran is NOT tenuous contrary to what your liberal media sources have assured you….

You might tell Ariana Huffington to do a bit more research before jumping to such inane conclusions.

I didn’t say Hamas wasn’t evil. I said the link to Iran is much less tenuous than Hezbollah’s.

Pat J….Before you make Hamas sounds like an innocent fraternity read on…

What does Hamas believe and what are its goals?

Hamas combines Palestinian nationalism with Islamic fundamentalism. Its founding charter commits the group to the destruction of Israel, the replacement of the PA with an Islamist state on the West Bank and Gaza, and to raising “the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.” Its leaders have called suicide attacks the “F-16″ of the Palestinian people. Hamas believes “peace talks will do no good,” said the Hamas leader Abd al-Aziz Rantisi in April 2004. “We do not believe we can live with the enemy.”

#12 Yes, as I stated in my previous response, you made a good point, but I asked you to consider that oil in that region being a curse in your opinion, could somehow be considered, in a strange way, one of the driving forces in the Wests desire to promote and support a democracy in the region. I understand the religious reasons for the Wests connection with the Jewish Faith and People, but I was pointing out the possibility that oil was a motivator also (selfish as it may seem).

The Guards’ Quds forces are in charge of training the Hamas fighters,providing arms and technical assistance in making rockets.Their agents are present in Gaza helping Hamas.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed Friday to keep supporting the Palestinian militant group Hamas until the “collapse of Israel.”
