Obama Wins Nobel Prize……

…seriously! The Prez was awakened early to the news that the Nobel Committee had selected him as the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Peace. I’m sure Obama’s first thought was the same as everyone else’s: “For What…

[...] Allah’s got the video of Robert Spencer on CNN from the other night. The take-away for people unable to view the video properly: he and several other experts on Islam believe Iran will at least attempt to nuke Jerusalem on August 22nd. Posted by Ian S. in [...]

Lewis and Spencer both write excellent books that should be on the bookshelf of every conservative. Way to go Glenn (ya sick, twisted freak) for having Spencer on your show.

I just saw H n’ C on Fox interview the muslim black panther wacko from the McKinney campaign. He was so way out there that even Alan was argueing with him.

Video Discussion On Iran / August 22nd / Nuclear War…

I keep making references to Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and August 22nd — the Muslim “Night of the Sira’a and Miira’aj” — now only 11 days away. In my post I quoted Robert Spencer’s article over at FrontPageMag, where he wrote:

I don’t see the problem in using it…

After all, Ahmadinejad, The President of Iran has said loudly and repeatedly that such is is his goal.

It is not as if it is something some kid living in his mother’s basement came up with from his fevered mind…. This is a guy that has the financial resources of a major oil producing nation and ten million nutjobs who would gladly give their lives to take ours at his command.

To not take it seriously seems foolish to me, (even though I’m not going to be hiding under my bed OR stocking any extra ammunition over it).

The Iranian Presidant said he would respond on August 22nd.
What form that response will take is unknown at this point.
He is a deeply religious fellow and we know that he feels he has a close relationship with the 12th Imam hiding in a well. For all we know his response could be a simple “No” or he could send a signal to the Jihadi cells around the world to activate before he Lights up Jerusalem.
I don’t think there is any harm in discussing what his plans could be…really… we’ll just have to wait and see.

Agreed, it would be irresponsible to just throw out stuff without reason. It would make us look like a bunch of apocalypse waiting cranks. If nothing happens, good. If something happens, the where & what is what I want to know.

But how does one understand this, if no Intelligence is evident? I hope someone on our side is on top of this.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you and “The Boss” had a good “sit down” and she didn’t decide to have you “whacked”.

"I’m calling for a 40% chance of showers and a 20% chance of nuclear war in Tel Aviv.” LOL@AP.. I am with both of you. Sometimes I think we should be taking this more seriously but then it occurs that we look like the "endtime" crazies by expounding on it (altho I have several times right here). IF, just IF the Persians particularly that MPIC (Midget Persian in Charge) lets loose his nuclear hounds on ANY target, soon after ALL of Iran will be sharing the the hole/cave/well of the 'hidden imam"

She took the position that there’s nothing wrong with esteemed scholars like Lewis and Spencer pointing this stuff out. We shouldn’t hide from Islamic doctrine. It’s obviously very important to Ahmadinejad, and he’s obviously a very important figure.

I took the position that it’s somewhat irresponsible to throw this stuff out there unless we have good reason to think he’s going to act on it. It makes us all sound like cranks if he doesn’t — like those communes where the leader predicts the apocalypse on a certain date and they all go out in the field and wait for it.

Hey, would love more info please on the debate between you and “the boss” (you make Michelle sound like a mob kingpin lol). We don’t need (or at least, I don’t need) the full transcript, but I’d love to see what position each of you took and what arguments you used to back them up.

They can’t win, but they don’t seem to care.

That’s the whole point of this clip – the religious fanaticism trumps the will to live on this earth. by blowing jerusalem to kingdom come and trying to bring forth the second coming of their messiah, they “win.” by dying a martyr, they “win” because they get their 72 virgins. to them, it’s actually a win-win situation for them, in their sick, twisted minds. THAT’S why this is soooo scary.

If only there were some way for him to get his message out in video format that bypassed the mainstream media. Hmmm.

Please, yes. I don’t know who that “Glenn” guy is, but what a clown! I didn’t make myself watch that. Surely HotAir can arrange to interview Robert Spencer, huh? Now that Ace has lost his video virginity (and has surprised us by being much easier on the eyes than he’d led us to believe), can you think of a way Ace could conduct the interview?

I hope to God that the Iranians don’t have a Nuke, cause I really am afraid they’re CRAZY enough to be willing to light it off somewhere.

They can’t win, but they don’t seem to care.

Western nuclear nations only, Darwin? While they’re probably not crazy about the idea of making an ash out of the boys from Tehran, there have to be one or two north and east of the area who are looking at the red button right now and sighing in exasperation.

If Iran and the Islamofascist regimes stick their head out of the nuclear hole, George is going to be entertaining phone calls from the other two BIG players in the game…Possibly with the words “Where is YOURS going to be coming from and where is it going to be hitting?” neatly fit in after the words “We don’t want to have to do this, BUT…”

The day of “The Strangest Bedfellows of All” may be on the way.

Spencer makes a great point in stating that Bin Laden is filthy rich, yet willing to live in caves and hide (likely move frequently as well) in order to adhere to his beloved Islam. For too many in this world now Islam is a death cult, and it trumps everything else. Money? Women? Compassion? Service to your fellow man? Mere distractions to the true goal and prize, and directly in opposition to values taught as the core of Judaism and Christianity.

I’m not saying Lewis and Spencer are hitting the nail on the head, and in fact hope they are quite wrong, but I could easily see the Satanic influence that Islam has over so many of those people causing them to attempt something like this.

Glenn is my talking head of choice these days, since I have to subscribe to the more expensive cable plan if I wanna get Fox.

Glenn is part of my morning commute every day. He’s a smart guy, if not for book-smarts, then definitely common sense. As I saw on this site last night, “Common Sense is inversely proportional to political correctness.”

Robert Spencer always carries himself with such a calm and collected presence. His expertise and logic is air tight.

It’s a great comfort to know that he is on our side.
