First the traitors. Then the enemy.

Channel 4 wins some sick race to the bottom as they ask Persian lunatic, war criminal and enemy of Crown, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to deliver an alternative Christmas message on UK TV.

In the U.S., the fault line between acceptable “alternative world views” and perspectives so vile as to be unfit for public consumption is a preacher who’s done good work for AIDS victims but is tepidly opposed to gay marriage. In Britain, it’s this turd — and as it turns out, he’s on the right side of the line. This is the same cretin who humiliated British sailors on worldwide television; who provoked an international standoff over a nuclear program that will end up starting an arms race in the Middle East; and who’s been sending weapons into Iraq for years to do to British soldiers there what was done in Afghanistan to last year’s “alternative message” presenter. It’s because of all that, not in spite of it, that he’s being handed this platform — on Christmas Day, as a de facto rebuttal to the Queen, to invite his audience in a thinly veiled way to convert. Imagine the contempt you’d have to have for your country to give him the opportunity.

Thinly veiled is "racist" code, btw. Just imagine the cramping fits of our leftist establishment at that sort of talk, their glossing over Ahmadinejad's calls for another Holocaust - and the Apocalypse - and wonder no more at the state we are in.

I do not hate Ahmadinejad any more than I hate a dog that has to be put down; I pity him. I certainly do not hate Iranians; the Iranians I have met have been Armenians, Jews and lesbians fleeing the theocracy, ultimately hoping to seek refuge in Los Angeles for the most part.

But I do hate Channel 4. Without hyperbole. Hatred.

Difficult not to get my hopes up for the subcontinent: India's nuclear command authority met over the weekend. Stratfor points to signs of a coming war; India's deadline for Pakistan is December 26. Can the Americans handle a two-front Suez? Could be a good day to throw a rock at the Chinese consulate for good measure. Also, Sankrant Sanu offers an excellent, all purpose observation on apologias for "terrorism" and more generally on the spirit of our times.

The first kind of apologia is denial. This generally takes the form of elaborate conspiracy theories—such as the most popular theory doing the rounds of the Muslim world after the 9/11 attacks, "the Jews did it." For what? "To blame the Muslims" of course. It appears that the entire world is engaged in the construction of elaborate hoax plots to kill themselves simply to blame Muslims.
...
The explicit instructions they carried to "kill indiscriminately, particularly white foreign tourists, and spare Muslims" that led them to spare the Turkish Muslim couple at the Taj and massacre the 13-year old American girl is of no consequence.

RTWT. Her name was Naomi Scherr, btw. A civilization that still produced men would avenge her murder.
