    Iran's navy offers to escort Gaza ships

    of course iran throws a can of gas on the fire.


    TEHRAN - Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards are ready to provide a military escort to cargo ships trying to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, a representative of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Sunday.

    "Iran's Revolutionary Guards naval forces are fully prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys to Gaza with all their powers and capabilities," Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's representative inside the Revolutionary Guards, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency.

    Any intervention by the Iranian military would be considered highly provocative by Israel which accuses Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas, the Islamist movement which rules Gaza.
    The Guards, with their own navy, air force and command structure separate from the regular armed forces, are seen as fiercely loyal to the values of the Islamic Republic.

    "If the Supreme Leader issues an order for this then the Revolutionary Guard naval forces will do their best to secure the ships," Shirazi said. "It is Iran's duty to defend the innocent people of Gaza."
    Last Monday Israeli troops killed nine activists on board one ship in a convoy trying to deliver aid to Gaza, sparking international outrage, especially in Muslim countries.

    Another ship was boarded on Saturday and pro-Palestinian activists have promised more as they challenge the blockade imposed four years ago with the stated aim of stopping arms getting to Hamas.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will continue to stop ships reaching the shore and creating "an Iranian port in Gaza," a reference to Iran's support for Hamas.

    The Ayatollah needs to brush up on his history before he (*&^s around and gets dealt with. You couldn't pay me to pick a fight with Israel.

    You really have to wonder what would possess iran to posture such with Israeli boomers in the Gulf. How do they think they're going to get that escort to Turkey? Across Russia?

    Um, OK, but I'm pretty sure God doesn't pick sides. So what then?

    I'd have to agree to disagree. The Bible is full of God taking care of His people. He's also used enemies to help get the attention of His people. But in my belief, God can use 1 person or 1,000's and He'll get the result HE wants.

    Of course this also comes down to whether or not HIS people have followed His word or ignored it...and so on.

    And then I get accused of hijacking threads when I bring up the psychopathy of religious folks in politics threads. Jesus H. Christ.

    speaking of hijacks

    That whole Muhammad cult is pretty strange when you think about it.




    New Fatwa Calls on Men to Drink Women's Breast-Milk

    Exactly three years ago, on May 22, 2007, an Egyptian scholar was disciplined by Al Azhar University, one of Islam’s most prestigious institutions, after he issued a fatwa calling upon women to breastfeed their male colleagues. Dr. Izzat Attiyah said that his fatwa offered a way around mixing of the sexes in the work place since breast-feeding established a maternal relation even if the beneficiary was not the woman’s biological son or daughter.

    Now, a high-ranking Saudi, Sheikh Abdul Mohsin al-Abaican, a consultant at Saudi Arabia’s royal court, has issued a fatwa asserting that
    women could give their milk to men to establish a degree of maternal relations and get around a strict religious ban on mixing between unrelated men and women. [Because] a man who often entered a house and came in contact with the womenfolk there should be made symbolically related to the women by drinking milk from one of the women. Under the fatwa, the act would preclude any sexual relations between the man and the donor woman and her relatives.

    Sheikh al-Abaican thus “modernizes” Dr. Izzat’s position — that the man must breastfeed directly from the teat — by suggesting: “The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman. 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.”

    A woman who once asked Muhammad what to do about the fact that a young boy who had been living with her and her husband had grown into manhood: that a non-relative adult male was freely residing with them, seeing his wife without her veils, was upsetting to the husband.

    So the prophet told her to “breastfeed” the man.

    Shocked, she responded saying that he was a grown man; Muhammad said — according to some traditions, while laughing — “I know.” The woman breastfed the man, and reportedly her husband was no longer upset, as the act of breastfeeding turned him into a kinsman. Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha — the “mother of the believers” — frequently relied on this practice to meet with non-related males (one of the greatest debates of her time revolved around how many “breastfeeds” were enough —one, five, or ten — to make a man a “family-member.”

    80-Year-Old Beaten, Cross Used As Murder Weapon
    80-year-old beaten cross likely used as a murder weapon, say police.

    Churchgoing Lilian Wilson, who was well-known in her community as a kind and giving person, was found by the pastor of her church Central United Methodist in Hamlin, Ark., Sunday afternoon, reports ktla.com.

    The pastor found her body when she didn't arrive for services at another church. It appeared she suffered blunt force trauma to the head, which many speculated was done by someone wielding a crucifix as a weapon.

    And of course you assume your version of the "Bible" is correct. There are how many different religions and various sects? That's a hell of a gamble with not so good odds.

    I'm thoroughly convinced that IF the God of the Bible is not THE one true God, there IS no god. Not so bad odds after all.

    Funny though how a thread titled Iran's navy offers to escort Gaza ships ended up with talk about "is God real and if so which god is real". Gotta luv this place and this bunch of peeps. (no, I'm not being sarcastic at all)

    Well, I expect you to be resolute in your faith, otherwise it really wouldn't be faith. The other side is just as convinced as you though. That and the U.S. has no God, but we digress....
