UN Watch and American Dad

As usual, UN Watch does a fantastic job speaking truth to power as was intended for that less-than-august body, the UNHRC. However, the HRC has become the power that needs to be exposed for the corrupt despotic body it is and it takes tiny NGO’s like UN Watch to try and show the world its true nature. Below is the newest example of this. However I can’t help but think that pop-culture really could do so much more to de-ligitemetize aberrations like the HRC like American Dad did so well in the clip right below. Enjoy.

And now,something the UNHRC really needs to hear:

PHOTOS FROM THE ISLAMIC CONFERENCE TO SAVE GAZA

Photos from the “Islamic Conference to Save Gaza” held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Israel has nothing to worry about… 

UPDATE: From Israellycool blog. Further investigation of the source blog of these photos reveals they were taken at the 21st International Conference on Islamic Unity, and not the “Islamic Conference to Save Gaza” as was posted at the blog cited in my post below.

I am all for pointing out the Arab and Muslim apathy towards the “palestinian cause” (they don’t truly care for the palestinians, but rather use them as a tool to attack Israel) , but I won’t do it based on dishonesty. Having said that, it’s good to see the Arab approach towards unity demonstrates the same kind of apathy.

NOTE: I have a good source who vouches for the photos, that they are indeed from the confernce in question.

Saudi Clerics Advocate Adult Breast-Feeding

h/t Lili Gobi

From AOL news:

(June 5) — Women in Saudi Arabia should give their breast milk to male colleagues and acquaintances in order to avoid breaking strict Islamic law forbidding mixing between the sexes, two powerful Saudi clerics have said. They are at odds, however, over precisely how the milk should be conveyed.

A fatwa issued recently about adult breast-feeding to establish “maternal relations” and preclude the possibility of sexual contact has resulted in a week’s worth of newspaper headlines in Saudi Arabia. Some have found the debate so bizarre that they’re calling for stricter regulations about how and when fatwas should be issued.

Sheikh Al Obeikan, an adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, set off a firestorm of controversy recently when he said on TV that women who come into regular contact with men who aren’t related to them ought to give them their breast milk so they will be considered relatives.

“The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman,” Al Obeikan said, according to Gulf News. “He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam’s rules about mixing.”

Obeikan said the fatwa applied to men who live in the same house or come into contact with women on a regular basis, except for drivers.

Al Obeikan, who made the statement after being asked on TV about a 2007 fatwa issued by an Egyptian scholar about adult breast-feeding, said that the breast milk ought to be pumped out and given to men in a glass.

But his remarks were followed by an announcement by another high-profile sheik, Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini, who said that men should suckle the breast milk directly from a woman’s breast.

Shortly after the two sheiks weighed in on the matter, a bus driver in the country’s Eastern Region reportedly told one of the female teachers whom he drives regularly that he wanted to suckle milk from her breast. The teacher has threaten to file a lawsuit against him. Continue Reading →

Everybody Draw Mohamed day!

Here is a post I have been looking forward to for a while. Below, a few videos made especially for Everybody Draw Mohamed Day.

The first, from Blazing Cat Fur. This video was actually featured on FOX news I am told!

It even has a great original song for the occasion. Maybe next year we will have a whole slew of catchy tunes like Christmas carols. Only for everybody Draw Mohamed day.

Thunderfoot did this one below with his usual excellent fiery rhetoric. One hopes perhaps partially with his influence, a classical education may come back into vogue and Western youth will get a grip on what is true and not true, and what is worth defending and not.

Normally I don’t go much for poetry, But I really like this!

Lastly, below, one I have been working on for about a week. Many friends of Vlad and Gates of Vienna and Tundra Tabloids etc. have been kind enough to submit some of their work to us for this project. I want to thank them very much, and if any of them wished to be named in the credits and where omitted, it is because when I was uncertain, I chose the course of their safety. However they can let me know and I will post their names and say which drawing here. Also, I didn’t have room to use all of them but man I got some fantastic stuff from people. So I will most certainly make some kind of a sequel fitting the mood of some of the drawings I got. For this one, I went for funny.

Also, Europe News offers this article on much of the pertinent details behind this fine and I hope, soon to be annual event. Next year, I want to see a parade in Montreal with a float of Mohamed in chaps.

Pakistan bans facebook due to ‘Everybody Draw Mohamed’ day

Showing that we, unwashed multitudes, can influence events at the level of geopolitics, or perhaps that is what it always was, Pakistan bans Facebook to prevent people from seeing all the blasphemy. Vlad Tepes will hopefully be publishing our own video tonight at Midnight of our submission for this clearly august event.

Maybe we can get Pakistan to ban the internet altogether. Then perhaps we can get them to ban watching their own radars if we can get Moe images on those. Should make the job a lot easier for India.

From The Washington Post:

Pakistan blocks Facebook in response to ‘Everybody Draw Muhammad Day’ pages [UPDATED]


When is a cartoon not “just” a cartoon? Well, perhaps when an entire nation decides to ban its citizens’ access to Facebook over a page spawned by an illustration. An illustration that, in turn, was created to support an animated cartoon show.

A Pakistani court has ordered authorities to temporarily block the social-networking service over the Facebook-ignited campaign “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day,” according to Agence France Presse.

The campaign encouraging people to caricature Muhammad is scheduled for May 20. The primary Facebook page that arose in recent weeks to promote “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day” now has more than 40,000 “fans.” The page’s status updates, however, have been a frequent stream of vitriol — a hate-laced war of words and images.

According to AFP, a group of Islamic lawyers petitioned a court Wednesday for “a blanket ban” on Facebook in Pakistan. Justice Ejaz Chaudhry of the Lahore High Court ordered the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) to block Facebook until a May 31 hearing, AFP says.

“We have already blocked the URL link and issued instruction to Internet service providers,” said PTA representative Khurram Mehran, according to al-Jazeera. But Facebook users in Pakistan told AFP they could still access the site after the ban was imposed Wednesday. Continue Reading →

Wave of mass psychosis hits the Obama white house

I dunno what to say about this. It’s like the O admin out clever’d itself. It knows exactly who what and why these terrorist attacks are taking place, but has conjured a myth that it can be defeated by stolidly refusing to admit the facts on the ground.

For the record, this has been tried, and it has never, ever, worked.
