The Dhimmi In The White House

Obama’s moral equivalence is reaching new depths.  You may recall that the US had invited Iranian diplomats to attend July 4th celebrations at American embassies. Many people assumed that these invites – absurd to start with – would be rescinded given Iran’s violent measures against protesters  at present.

But no – the Dhimmi in the White House clearly wouldn’t dream of a public show of solidarity with the Iranian people! Instead:

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States said Monday its invitations were still standing for Iranian diplomats to attend July 4 celebrations at US embassies despite the crackdown on opposition supporters.

President Barack Obama’s administration said earlier this month it would invite Iran to US embassy barbecues for the national holiday for the first time since the two nations severed relations following the 1979 Islamic revolution.

“There’s no thought to rescinding the invitations to Iranian diplomats,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly told reporters.

“We have made a strategic decision to engage on a number of fronts with Iran,” Kelly said. “We tried many years of isolation, and we’re pursuing a different path now.”

 

And what a path it is!

Inviting Iranian diplomats to July 4th parties would be like the Allies inviting the Nazis to Thanksgiving lunch.  Does Obama really think that a few fireworks and hotdogs are going to overcome Islamic hatred for all things democratic and Western…?

If so, he’s not just a dhimmi.

He’s a fool.

 

Iranian masses: ‘Death To The UK, America, And Israel!’

 

The Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran’s supreme fruitcake – sorry,  leader – today voiced support for Ahmadinejad.  His statement comes after a week of violent protests and accusations of election rigging.

Speaking at Tehran University today, the Ayatollah also lambasted the British government, calling it:   ‘the most treacherous in the world.’

 And responding to international concerns over the legitimacy of the vote, he added: ‘Some of our enemies in different parts of the world intended to depict this absolute victory, this definitive victory, as a doubtful victory.’

It seems that Khamenei’s attack on Britain was triggered by Gordon Brown and David Miliband, and their statements on Iran earlier in the week.  Iran’s Ambassador to Britain Rasoul Movahedian has now been summoned to the Foreign Office where officials are expected to lodge a formal complaint about the Ayatollah’s remarks.

But today, thousands of Iranians attended the speech by the Ayatollah. The masses chanted ‘Death to the UK, American and Israel’.

Undeterred, Gordon Brown today criticised Iran further, condemning the violence and media blackout which occurred in the wake of the rioting over the election results. Mr Brown stated:   “The eyes of the world are  on Iran. It is for Iran now to show the world that the elections are fair.”

Iran’s president, Mad Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, attended the Ayatollah’s speech today, as did  his rival Mirhossein Mousavi.

Mousavi supporters have arranged  another rally for tomorrow.   But if they proceed in defiance of Khamenei’s  warning, they risk a severe response from security forces.

Hopefully, Iran will be far too busy with its own problems to continue threatening to destroy Israel…
