I'm not one to be a cry baby, but something such as this...well, it just bothers the crap out of me. I am a firm believer that our site is a pretty good one. Good resources. Up to date information. Great participation from our staff. News and commentaries. Then out of the blue we get a guy that thinks he can decide which site is just ok, and which are "highly developed."
I was on Infidels United the other day and this member was lsiting web sites to go too. I threw ours in just to be funny and he comes back with this:
" Great work for those who have the time to scroll through it all. Can it be redone to be placed in categories? It's not bad but I'm going to try to limit my list to the higher developed sites, or at least I think I am. All I know is that I appreciate your great effort & what you're doing to alert and educate about Islam. "
I guess he didn't see the menu which "categorized" different Islamic Subject matter. He must have liked it because he said......"not bad". Ooooh.....not bad. But I guess we are not of the "higher developed" sites. Oh darn.
I responded with:
" The ITF gets a pretty decent hit count.
we have a nice size following. Tons of information and resources for people who are serious in fighting the threat of radical Islam. Unlike other sites, ours is not run by the size of our egos.
I don't appreciate the comment .."higher developed sites."
We at the ITF are very proud of what we produce. "
I think he means well, and I'm sure it was his first time visiting the ITF, so he is not familiar with our "rich content". How is that for a description? "Rich Content" If he was a regular visitor, I'm sure he would have a different opinion, but maybe I should see his site just to be sure. Problem is, I don't know the path.
Listen....what I'm trying to get at is if your going to produce a list of the Anti-Radical Islamic sites. Don't pick and choose. We are all in this together. Some sites are better maintained and others aren't. Some are done by one person, others have teams. Some sites are well known and MANY others are not.
I discover new sites everyday.
But...EVERY site is important! There are no little sites that do nothing. If some have no comments on their threads, we should help them. Get the word out!! Publicize all the web sites. Granted Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch and Bare Naked Islam and some others like to think of themselves as GODS and Goddesses of the bandwith, but they have also let the sites grow as big as their swelled heads. They truly want to educate the masses.....but they are looking out for their own hit counts as well, believe me.
The Infidel Task Force is in partnership with some GREAT sites well known to everyone. Sites like...Blazing Cat Fur and Tundra Tabloids and 1389. I can't list them all here so take a look at our blog list. Those sites came through and teamed with us when we were young and just starting. And they are with us still. Those sites and others, send us a lot of readers. And we are grateful to them.
All I'm asking is that one does not categorize sites or presume they are small and unworthy of mention. There is a deadly threat out there willing to kill and conquer us. We are all in this together, and the sooner we all realize that, the better.

Just for laughs I typed in "Lets not upset the muslims" in the Google search field. These links are what I came up with. Take a look at the varied subjects that seem to get the muslims riled...toy pigs, dogs, signs. But also notice that we censor ourselves. And thus we fall right into their hands.
I had breakfast the other morning with my cousin, who happens to be a teacher in the local school. I was astounded to learn that American traditional holidays are being re-vamped or removed out of the school system. The Board of Education is taking steps so as not to offend any one religion. It doesn't matter that no one has ever complained, they want to step right up and prevent it from ever happening.
The more I listened the more I understood that it wasn't just political correctness but also the removal of anything known as or displayed as Christianity from the holiday scene. Oh yes...you could have a menorah, but not the nativity.
This reminded me of the principal in a Massachusetts grammer school that singled handedly eliminated Columbus Day (because of the atrocities that Columbus may have done to the native population), cancelled Halloween (because of the relation to witchcraft and sorcery) and she may or may not cancel Thanksgiving Day decorations. (She hadn't decided yet) This is ONE person. Not a board or committee. One person to make these decisions. She has the power to control what those children think, learn and do in that school. And you as a parent do nothing. Time to stop that shit.
....but back to not offending the muslims.....
I am willing to wager that when the muslims reach a majority in any given town, city or state, you will see the leaders bending over backwards to let them do whatever they wish. After all we don't want any violence, now do we? We don't want them offended. Heavens no!! It would ruin our image as a country and citizenry of compassionate people.
Here's another.....in most schools around the country...the atrocity of 9/11 is not even being taught. GASP!! if you have school age children, just ask them how is the Radical Islamic attack of 911 presented. You may be very surprised at what you hear.
So maybe our gutless, gullible, political corrected liberal, progressive, spineless leaders are taking us down the road where we will no longer have any American traditions, thus lighting the way for the multi-cultural ideologies invading this country.
No maybes about it. Our children will suffer for what these fools are doing.

Pakistan - I spit on you!!
Yeah I'm mad...... Pakistan: I spit on you!! I can only hope that something God awful happens to that country and its uneducated ignorant people. The leaders are idiots and the clerics run the country. How can people like these condone violence against non-muslims? But they do!! I can honestly say, reading articles like this make me wish someone would line those Islamic clerics up against a wall and blow their brain matter out. What little they have. I demand to know how much money is sent to Pakistan, because I would demand that money stop. Let the Taliban come down and take over. So what!! If that is what they want....give it to them. Give them the submission that Allah demands. Let them have their 7th century ways, I don't care.
"Islam is Pakistan’s sole identity and there is no room for secularism and its believers in this country, deputy Secretary General, Jama’at-e-Islami Hafiz Sajid Anwar said here while addressing the Friday congregation at Mansoora mosque.
He said a Muslim could not tolerate blasphemy of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and even the Interior Minister Rehman Malik had told media that if someone committed blasphemy in his presence, he would shoot him to death."
"If someone committed blasphemy in his presence he would shoot them to death." That's how they think. Allah before life. Death before dishonor to Allah. Allah before your children. Honor before family. Muslims are bad enough...male muslims are total idiots. Pakistani male muslims should be locked up.
"Hafiz Sajid Anwar exhorted the rulers to learn a lesson from Salmaan Taseer’s murder as none of the official Khatibs and Imams was ready to lead his funeral prayer. He said there was consensus of the Ummah that blasphemy of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was punishable by death."
There!! Now you can see it. Blasphemy of the "holy prophet" is punishable by death. Well then hows this: "Allah is Satan. Mohammed was a rapist and pedophile. Allah is deaf, dumb and blind and he's probably a village idiot. ...and....and...oh yeah...Islam is of the devil."
Please send that to your buddies in Paki-terror-stan and give them my regards. Now I have one more quote;
"Addressing the Friday congregation at Syed Maudoodi Institute mosque Hafiz Muhammad Idrees said Salmaan Taseer’s murder should be an eye opener for the other rulers who were clamouring against the Blasphemy Law. Referring to Rehman Malik’s statement that he would shoot down a blasphemer, he asked what crime Mumtaz Qadri had committed. He said the protection of the minorities in the country also lay in obedience to the law of the country. He said that Islam guaranteed protection of the minorities. (Yeah RIGHT!! Thats why Christian Copts are being killed everyday. Islam protects no one except the muslim man. Everyone else suffers. Don't lie to us cleric.)He advised the anti-Islam elements in the country to stop attacks on Islam and study it thoroughly. He said that the western powers could cow down the Muslim rulers but not the Muslim masses."
Look idiot...the current western powers may bow down before muslims rulers...but if you let the western masses loose we will show you just how much we are capable of. DON'T .. and I really mean...DON'T try our patience. We can change the clueless and castrated politician we have now. So that the next ones will have some courage to go up against Islamic idiots such as yourself. So don't screw around with the American people.
Stop all financial aide to Pakistan...NOW!
.......there! I feel better now. You? - BBJ

Interview with Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman
Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman is a writer and historian who formerly taught World History and Islamic Civilization at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, where she was also Executive Director of the San Francisco United Nations Association and was a frequent speaker for the World Affairs Council and the Commonwealth Club.
She has been a 26-year observer of the Islamic Revolution in Iran and has been charting the growth of fanatical radicalized Islam around the world. Both as a columnist for local newspapers and in scholarly papers given at academic conferences and published in the Comparative Civilizations Review, she has warned of the danger to democratic societies from a rising tide of fundamentalist/political religions.
The September 11, 2001 attack on America has increased the demand for her columns and as a lecturer. A book completed just before the attack, God's Law or Man's Law: The Fundamentalist Challenge to Secular Rule, has been published, and is going into its second edition.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman has lived in Iran twice: the first time when married to an Iranian student who was doing his graduate research in his home country. She was witness to Iran's accelerated attempt at modernizing during the reign of the last Pahlavi shah.
Her second residence there was fifteen years later, during the period leading up to the Islamic Revolution. She was the cross-cultural expert on a project that involved a number of US defense firms, US intelligence agencies, and the Iranian Air Force. Her perspective on radicalized Islam is a combination of domestic experience, professional experience, and her background as a historian.
May we present...
Dr. Laina Farhat-Holzman
ITF:
Welcome Dr Farhat-Holzman to the Infidel Task Force and thank you for taking the time to chat with us. You come with major credentials and I’m sure the readers will enjoy this column
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I am delighted to have found you—and been found by you!
ITF:
When someone hears about a woman living in Iran, the images that immediately spring to mind are of Sally Field in the movie: “Not Without My Daughter”. Tell us please how you were introduced to Iran.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I met my Iranian husband at UCLA, and in graduate school, he received a Ford Foundation Grant to study Persian Court Music (an ancient and lovely tradition that was rapidly disappearing). We spent two years in Iran, living with his family and giving birth to our first child.
His family, being old aristocracy, was nothing like the terrible family of the young woman in “Not Without My Daughter.” My experience was during the post World War II period when the young Shah finally roused himself to engage in modernization projects (something his father had done as the first modernizer after centuries of decay). My then husband’s family were patriotic, eager to see Iran get out from under the thrall of Islam, and they welcomed me—their educated and curious American daughter-in-law. Adding to my luck: I had an amazing and unique mother-in-law who was vibrant, beautiful, and wise, and we took to each other and were friends until her premature death right after the Islamic Revolution.
My experience was very different from that of the Sally Field character who went to Iran at the wrong time and into the worst kind of family—pious merchant class people.
And years after my marriage ended, I was sent to Iran on a project that involved cross-cultural training—and this was during a period that the revolution was brewing. I did try to notify my Congressman at the time and the State Department Iran Chair, but I was not believed. I was being politically incorrect, it seems.
ITF:
When you first set eyes on the landscape and the people, what went through your mind? Was it excitement, amazement or possibly fear?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
The landscape around Tehran looked much like that of Utah—a reality that many Iranian students recognized as they were sent to school in Utah to study agriculture. Our arrival was something of a family event—and we were much welcomed and (being pregnant) fussed over. As I learned Farsi, and as we traveled around the country, I became much more comfortable. I fell in love with Esfahan, the old Capital, a city that I found as beautiful as Florence, Italy. And Shiraz, a 7,000 foot city full of orange blossoms and wildflowers in the countryside around it, was the home of some of Iran’s most famous poets—much loved by everyone. The Caspian Sea region (finally free of malaria by the government eradication program) was as beautiful as Hawaii—forested mountains and green rice and tea fields. I never traveled anywhere that I had to wear a veil. Modern women did not do that then.
ITF:
The Infidel Task Force is a major supporter of women’s rights around the world. We see everyday how women are treated in the Islamic countries and it can be repulsive and degrading. I think you can see where I am going with this, and I would like you to give us an overview on how the Iranian women lived at that time compared to how they are treated today.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I was in Iran at the height of modernization, and I did not know any women who wore a chador (head-to-toe cloak); I only saw them on villagers and the urban poor. At one time, only prostitutes wore them (a story pushed by the government). This situation has been reversed.
Today, young women increasingly defy the government, pushing their headscarves further back on their heads and wearing tight and more revealing clothing. They never know from day to day when the religious morality thugs will beat them for this, but they do it anyway.
ITF:
How did the Pahlavi government engage in the educational aspect of the Iranian women and was there any attempt to modernize Islam as compared to Iran today?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
The Pahlavi Dynasty (Reza Shah and his son) were determined to emancipate women to European standards. The upper classes were the first to do so—but increasingly this movement was picked up by the burgeoning middle class of professionals and the more prosperous merchants. Bright girls were sent abroad to school (I personally knew one village girl who later became an engineer—but there were many others.)
The young women who were caught up in what they thought was a wonderful socialist revolution found out quickly what the Ayatollah and his cabal planned for them. The marriage age was once more lowered, complete veiling mandated (violators punished), and such customs as cutting off hands and stoning adulteresses were revived in rural areas.
Mandatory brainwashing and hours of religious training replaced normal school subjects—much resented by many students, but difficult to defy.
ITF:
If you were to teach us one important factor of Iranian culture past and present, what would that factor be? Are you still in contact with individuals there and do you have any desire to return to Iran?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I would say that Iran (Persia) is far older than Islam, and that it has a continuing identity that even the Ayatollah was not able to wipe out—although he tried. This is a country with arts, literature, and government practices that were the model for much of the ancient world. They were rivals of the Greeks and Romans—and later Byzantines---and the educated still know this. The great national epic: The Shahname (Book of Kings) was written in the 10th century while Persia was under Muslim occupation. The language was deliberately Persian, eliminating as much as possible any Arabic words, and the story tracks Iran’s identity from mythical beginnings until the Arab invasion. This marvelous work is still read by story tellers all over Iran—and is on Radio Tehran daily for people to do their exercises to its drumbeats and poetry.
And no, I have no desire to go back until the Islamic government is gone. When that happens, I have promised to lead a tour to the real Iran.
ITF:
The Infidel Task Force has a contributor living in Iran. He tells us that currently, sentiment towards the western world or specifically Americans, is running about 50% against. I believe many of our readers would like to know how did the Iranian people feel about Americans during your time there as opposed to what is happening in Iran today.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I have heard that the US is the most popular country in the world to Iranians today. What their government hates, they love. I don’t know who your consultant is—but I really doubt that assessment.
After World War II, Iranians loved the US, primarily because we had never done anything to them, not the case with the Russians and the British, both of whom were hated. That changed after the abortive coup of Mossadegh was put down. America replaced the British as the hated country—despite anyone with money sending their children to school here. Now we are loved again.
ITF:
Dr Farhat-Holzman, you say that your perspective on radicalized Islam is a combination of domestic experience, professional experience and your background as a historian. Can you clarify that statement? Did you ever experience the radical aspect of Islam?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Except for the occasional midnight phone call and letters to the editor complaining about my newspaper columns, I have never been personally threatened. One time in San Francisco, I was lecturing about “The War Inside of Islam” at the Commonwealth club—and a group of Islamists attended (including women in full hijab) and they tried to disrupt the talk. The audience threw them out.
ITF:
As a professor of Islamic Civilization, how was the subject received by your Muslim students as compared to your American students? I assume you did have Muslim students. Was there ever a case of vocalized militancy?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I had no Muslim students, but I did have plenty of students from Malaysia and Indonesia, Chinese Christians, and a few Hindus, who had no problem with what I was teaching. And in those days, I was much kinder to Islam than I am today. However, in one of my classes, I had the students read The Satanic Verses by Salmon Rushdie. A Muslim student not in my class buttonholed me in the hall to ask why I would teach such a hateful book that was so unkind to Islam. I told him to come back after he read the book, not before he had even opened it. He backed off.
ITF:
A growing number of people in the United States feel that America is under siege by radical Islamic leaders attempting to dismantle the US Constitution and replace it with Shariah Law. This is actually documented in some of your papers. Do you feel it is a real possibility? Or are we Americans truly protected by the Constitution?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I think there are Islamists who would like to see this, but it is not going to happen. We are not only protected by the Constitution, but by the increasingly ugly behavior of Islamists who think they can do this by force. They not only have pushback from us, but from the majority of secular Muslims (such as Iranian immigrants) who will have none of it.
ITF:
Lastly Dr. if you were to say which country is in the most danger of becoming totally controlled by radicalized Islamists, which one would that be?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Pakistan. I really fear for them. And I am not terribly happy with what is happening to Egypt either.
ITF:
What was the cultural difference between your husband’s Iranian family and yours and did it put a strain on your marriage?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
No. The cultural differences were not an issue between us. My marriage failed because my husband was a romanatic who loved falling in love, but not staying in love. He was always looking for the perfect women—a process that gave him four marriages, none of which succeeded. This characteristic is not unique to Iranians, alas.
ITF:
When you made the decision to move to Iran, what kind of mental preparation and self convincing did you have to go through to do it? Or was it something performed on whim?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I never moved to Iran. It was always understood that we were visiting Iran as graduate students on a project—and we left after the project was completed. When I went back years later, it was also for a project. I never considered living there.
ITF:
With respect on raising children in an Islamic society, were your children raised in a totally Islamic fashion or a more Western slant? At what point are male and female children separated in an Islamic country?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
None of this applied. My children were reared here. Both my son and daughter had a short period of staying with their father (I thought they should have that experience) but they returned to resume their schooling here. Since the family I married into was merely nominally Muslim, none of the horrors of Islamic child rearing applied. Islam never played a role.
ITF:
Thank you very much for coming Dr Farhat-Holman. I’m sure our readers will want you to come back for another chat. Would you do that for us?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Of course! And thank you.

When someone hears about a woman living in Iran, the images that immediately spring to mind are of Sally Field in the movie: “Not Without My Daughter”. Tell us please how you were introduced to Iran.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I met my Iranian husband at UCLA, and in graduate school, he received a Ford Foundation Grant to study Persian Court Music (an ancient and lovely tradition that was rapidly disappearing). We spent two years in Iran, living with his family and giving birth to our first child.
His family, being old aristocracy, was nothing like the terrible family of the young woman in “Not Without My Daughter.” My experience was during the post World War II period when the young Shah finally roused himself to engage in modernization projects (something his father had done as the first modernizer after centuries of decay). My then husband’s family were patriotic, eager to see Iran get out from under the thrall of Islam, and they welcomed me—their educated and curious American daughter-in-law. Adding to my luck: I had an amazing and unique mother-in-law who was vibrant, beautiful, and wise, and we took to each other and were friends until her premature death right after the Islamic Revolution.
My experience was very different from that of the Sally Field character who went to Iran at the wrong time and into the worst kind of family—pious merchant class people.
And years after my marriage ended, I was sent to Iran on a project that involved cross-cultural training—and this was during a period that the revolution was brewing. I did try to notify my Congressman at the time and the State Department Iran Chair, but I was not believed. I was being politically incorrect, it seems.
ITF:
When you first set eyes on the landscape and the people, what went through your mind? Was it excitement, amazement or possibly fear?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
The landscape around Tehran looked much like that of Utah—a reality that many Iranian students recognized as they were sent to school in Utah to study agriculture. Our arrival was something of a family event—and we were much welcomed and (being pregnant) fussed over. As I learned Farsi, and as we traveled around the country, I became much more comfortable. I fell in love with Esfahan, the old Capital, a city that I found as beautiful as Florence, Italy. And Shiraz, a 7,000 foot city full of orange blossoms and wildflowers in the countryside around it, was the home of some of Iran’s most famous poets—much loved by everyone. The Caspian Sea region (finally free of malaria by the government eradication program) was as beautiful as Hawaii—forested mountains and green rice and tea fields. I never traveled anywhere that I had to wear a veil. Modern women did not do that then.
ITF:
The Infidel Task Force is a major supporter of women’s rights around the world. We see everyday how women are treated in the Islamic countries and it can be repulsive and degrading. I think you can see where I am going with this, and I would like you to give us an overview on how the Iranian women lived at that time compared to how they are treated today.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I was in Iran at the height of modernization, and I did not know any women who wore a chador (head-to-toe cloak); I only saw them on villagers and the urban poor. At one time, only prostitutes wore them (a story pushed by the government). This situation has been reversed.
Today, young women increasingly defy the government, pushing their headscarves further back on their heads and wearing tight and more revealing clothing. They never know from day to day when the religious morality thugs will beat them for this, but they do it anyway.
ITF:
How did the Pahlavi government engage in the educational aspect of the Iranian women and was there any attempt to modernize Islam as compared to Iran today?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
The Pahlavi Dynasty (Reza Shah and his son) were determined to emancipate women to European standards. The upper classes were the first to do so—but increasingly this movement was picked up by the burgeoning middle class of professionals and the more prosperous merchants. Bright girls were sent abroad to school (I personally knew one village girl who later became an engineer—but there were many others.)
The young women who were caught up in what they thought was a wonderful socialist revolution found out quickly what the Ayatollah and his cabal planned for them. The marriage age was once more lowered, complete veiling mandated (violators punished), and such customs as cutting off hands and stoning adulteresses were revived in rural areas.
Mandatory brainwashing and hours of religious training replaced normal school subjects—much resented by many students, but difficult to defy.
ITF:
If you were to teach us one important factor of Iranian culture past and present, what would that factor be? Are you still in contact with individuals there and do you have any desire to return to Iran?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I would say that Iran (Persia) is far older than Islam, and that it has a continuing identity that even the Ayatollah was not able to wipe out—although he tried. This is a country with arts, literature, and government practices that were the model for much of the ancient world. They were rivals of the Greeks and Romans—and later Byzantines---and the educated still know this. The great national epic: The Shahname (Book of Kings) was written in the 10th century while Persia was under Muslim occupation. The language was deliberately Persian, eliminating as much as possible any Arabic words, and the story tracks Iran’s identity from mythical beginnings until the Arab invasion. This marvelous work is still read by story tellers all over Iran—and is on Radio Tehran daily for people to do their exercises to its drumbeats and poetry.
And no, I have no desire to go back until the Islamic government is gone. When that happens, I have promised to lead a tour to the real Iran.
ITF:
The Infidel Task Force has a contributor living in Iran. He tells us that currently, sentiment towards the western world or specifically Americans, is running about 50% against. I believe many of our readers would like to know how did the Iranian people feel about Americans during your time there as opposed to what is happening in Iran today.
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I have heard that the US is the most popular country in the world to Iranians today. What their government hates, they love. I don’t know who your consultant is—but I really doubt that assessment.
After World War II, Iranians loved the US, primarily because we had never done anything to them, not the case with the Russians and the British, both of whom were hated. That changed after the abortive coup of Mossadegh was put down. America replaced the British as the hated country—despite anyone with money sending their children to school here. Now we are loved again.
ITF:
Dr Farhat-Holzman, you say that your perspective on radicalized Islam is a combination of domestic experience, professional experience and your background as a historian. Can you clarify that statement? Did you ever experience the radical aspect of Islam?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Except for the occasional midnight phone call and letters to the editor complaining about my newspaper columns, I have never been personally threatened. One time in San Francisco, I was lecturing about “The War Inside of Islam” at the Commonwealth club—and a group of Islamists attended (including women in full hijab) and they tried to disrupt the talk. The audience threw them out.
ITF:
As a professor of Islamic Civilization, how was the subject received by your Muslim students as compared to your American students? I assume you did have Muslim students. Was there ever a case of vocalized militancy?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I had no Muslim students, but I did have plenty of students from Malaysia and Indonesia, Chinese Christians, and a few Hindus, who had no problem with what I was teaching. And in those days, I was much kinder to Islam than I am today. However, in one of my classes, I had the students read The Satanic Verses by Salmon Rushdie. A Muslim student not in my class buttonholed me in the hall to ask why I would teach such a hateful book that was so unkind to Islam. I told him to come back after he read the book, not before he had even opened it. He backed off.
ITF:
A growing number of people in the United States feel that America is under siege by radical Islamic leaders attempting to dismantle the US Constitution and replace it with Shariah Law. This is actually documented in some of your papers. Do you feel it is a real possibility? Or are we Americans truly protected by the Constitution?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I think there are Islamists who would like to see this, but it is not going to happen. We are not only protected by the Constitution, but by the increasingly ugly behavior of Islamists who think they can do this by force. They not only have pushback from us, but from the majority of secular Muslims (such as Iranian immigrants) who will have none of it.
ITF:
Lastly Dr. if you were to say which country is in the most danger of becoming totally controlled by radicalized Islamists, which one would that be?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Pakistan. I really fear for them. And I am not terribly happy with what is happening to Egypt either.
ITF:
What was the cultural difference between your husband’s Iranian family and yours and did it put a strain on your marriage?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
No. The cultural differences were not an issue between us. My marriage failed because my husband was a romanatic who loved falling in love, but not staying in love. He was always looking for the perfect women—a process that gave him four marriages, none of which succeeded. This characteristic is not unique to Iranians, alas.
ITF:
When you made the decision to move to Iran, what kind of mental preparation and self convincing did you have to go through to do it? Or was it something performed on whim?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
I never moved to Iran. It was always understood that we were visiting Iran as graduate students on a project—and we left after the project was completed. When I went back years later, it was also for a project. I never considered living there.
ITF:
With respect on raising children in an Islamic society, were your children raised in a totally Islamic fashion or a more Western slant? At what point are male and female children separated in an Islamic country?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
None of this applied. My children were reared here. Both my son and daughter had a short period of staying with their father (I thought they should have that experience) but they returned to resume their schooling here. Since the family I married into was merely nominally Muslim, none of the horrors of Islamic child rearing applied. Islam never played a role.
ITF:
Thank you very much for coming Dr Farhat-Holman. I’m sure our readers will want you to come back for another chat. Would you do that for us?
Dr. Farhat-Holzman:
Of course! And thank you.

It’s the Clerics, Stupid!!!!
Everyone who knows me by now, knows I do not hate muslims. None of us here truly hate muslims. What we despise are the Islamic clerics.
Now there are vile, ignorant and crazy spokespeople for all ranks of life. Government, religion, Hollywood and of course…
the news media (Keith Olbermann comes to mind. Now there's a real idiot!)
But for now, lets concentrate on what we do best. ISLAM!! Now THEY have the front runners when it comes to crazies…the Clerics. Oh yes, the Clerics. Here is a bunch of total idiotic, lust crazed, saliva drooling, maniacal whack jobs.
Why don’t we look at a few of the recent media releases pertaining to the wacky world of Islamic clerics…..
Cleric Admits Role in Bombing Cricket Stadium...
BANGALORE: 8/25/10 - PDP leader and 2008 Bangalore blasts accused Abdul Nasser Madani has admitted role in the Bangalore stadium blasts which necessitated the shifting of two IPL matches to Mumbai, official sources said on Tuesday.
Interrogation of Madani, an accused in the 2008 serial bomb blasts here, has revealed his role in the twin explosions near the cricket stadium here ahead of an IPL match on April 17 this year, Home Minister V S Acharya said on Tuesday.
An Islamic “holy man” has a role in murder…
Clerics Call Pakistani Floods 'Allah's Wrath' for Secularism...
The monsoon rains that hit Swat a month ago, before sending a devastating tide south, have washed away homes, livelihoods, much of its high-grade rice crop and - in some quarters - hopes of extinguishing residual support for Islamic extremism among a population who lived under the yoke of the Taliban for more than two years.
But the message from the country's most conservative imams - that the floods were God's punishment for the secularisation of the state - is taking hold in this long-suffering region.
Maybe Allah is punishing those violent Pakistanis…
NEXT….
Egyptian Cleric: Allah will Destroy West, Muslims to Conquer World
Egyptian cleric Salem Abu Al-Futuh: The nation of Islam will return – despite our current crisis and despite the arrogance of the West. The West is bound to be destroyed. Just like Allah destroyed the Byzantine and Persian empires, He will destroy the West at the hands of the Muslims. This is an unequivocal promise. These countries will convert to Islam. Islam will reach these countries.
By Allah, we will conquer Italy. By Allah, we will conquer Italy and move into [the rest] of Europe. Islam will enter that entire region. Even America, you ask? Yes, even America. North or south America? Both North and South America. We will enter all these countries, and people there will be joining Islam in droves.
...and the muslims go running out into the streets screaming....DEATH TO AMERICA!!!
AUSTRALIAN MUSLIM HATE PREACHER CALLS FOR DUTCH MP GEERT WILDERS TO BE BEHEADED........
Friday, September 03, 2010 - Dutch Muslim radicals are calling for Wilders to be beheaded. The call comes from the Australian hate preacher Feiz Muhammad (40), by intelligence agencies worldwide as one of the main jihadist ideologues, a great inspiration for Western, young Muslim radicals.
Feiz Muhammad within intelligence circles is in the same breath as notorious spiritual jihad leaders and the US-Yemeni Muslim preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, a major recruiter for Al Qaeda, which is seen as the inspiration behind the failed attack with an aircraft over Detroit. According to Ronald Sandee, former employee of the MIVD and director of a U.S. anti-terrorist "assassination of the call for Wilders to be taken very seriously".
And here we have a holy man calling for murder.
So there you have a small example of how the clerics turn out to be a major problem for the moderate muslim.
So what do all of these whack jobs have in common? Islam. What does that tell us? Islam has very big problems. Muslims are looked upon as violent and capable of killing us with absolutely no remorse. With a thirst for the blood of the non-believer, muslims march out with their knives, guns and machetes…following the orders of their beloved clerics. Africa is saturated with infidel blood thanks to muslim clerics calling for the death of Christians
These are just a few recent examples of whats driving the average muslim . Leave the muslim alone and he’ll live along side of you peacefully. He would have no problem assimilating into our country.
Bottom line is…we know what the problem is. We know whats stirring the pot. Question is…what do we do about it?

The Chamberlain Effect
You can keep staring at that Black Widow spider sitting up in the corner of your ceiling. You can say it is sleeping. You can say it is benign. You can say anything you want to keep your mind at ease, but you know as well as that spider, that when you are sleeping it is coming down to bite you.
Islam, is like that spider. Silent, slow, unassuming....but very, very deadly, and while we sleep, it is coming down to bite us. Muslim extremists show us everyday, that they indeed are out to dominate the world. Murders, bombings, tortures, genocide, happening everyday all over the world. It seems wherever Islam goes, there is going to be violence.
Americans, basically are forgiving people. We look for the good in everyone and everything. We want to think that everyone should love each other and we can all just get along.
Islam showed America just how it feels towards her people. On October 12, 2000, the USS Cole was victim of a suicide attack while it was harbored and refueling in the Yemeni port of Aden. Seventeen American sailors were killed, and thirty-nine were injured.
Liberals asked..."Oh what did we do wrong to bring this upon us?"
The Islamic Sudanese are starving the Christians in Darfur, and the United Nations sleeps.
Hamas, Hezbollah, Jamaat ul-Fuqra, all listed as terror groups, have bases within the borders of the United States. Not one word is spoken by any law enforcement agency.
Of course everyone remembers 9/11. When 19 radical muslim extremists hi-jacked four planes. Two were flown into the World Trade Center in NYC. One crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth came down in a field in Pennsylvania. And of course we all believe that muslim terrorists were behind that heinous act of war...right?
Wrong!
More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.
Some polls say as many as 80% of Americans believe the US government had something to do with 9/11.
Really? Unbelievable. If I remember...Osama bin Laden admitted to orchestrating the entire event. Did anyone else see that? No? It was a video.
Today in America, we have Islam making inroads within our public schools. Liberal colleges feel that Islam is getting a bad rap and pretty much lets the muslim student associations run anything they want. Although they freely publicize the anti-Semitic attitude that muslims in general vocalize, and many are merely an outlet for Islamic radicalization. But...we choose to ignore this and basically look the other way.
Try this exercise....make a sign that says: Islam must be banned. Now go stand in your cities downtown center. I give you about 5 or 6 minutes before people come up to you and call you a racist, Islamaphobe, hater, war monger, among other names. Meanwhile, the muslims will either be sitting in the background smiling while the everyday citizen does the work, or they go crying to CAIR that you were not following political correctness.
America is sound asleep.
Thomas Sowell said it best:
"When the majority of the people become like sheep and will tolerate intolerance rather than make a fuss, then there is no limit to how far any group will go."
When we ignore what is happening around us, when we refuse to admit that terror is on our doorstep, when we close our eyes to the fact that a violent ideology is marching into our cities to subvert our culture, dominate our society and remove the most populous religion with their own.....I call it The Chamberlain Effect.
Arthur Neville Chamberlain (18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940) was a British politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. Chamberlain is best known for his appeasement foreign policy, and in particular for his signing of the Munich Agreement in 1938, conceding the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany. When Adolf Hitler continued his aggression, Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, and Chamberlain led Britain through the first eight months of World War II.
The same can be said for the American leadership. The current government does not dare correlate Islam with any act of muslim violence in this country. Not the Fort Hood shooter, not the Christmas underwear bomber. The war on terror is no longer related to radical Islam. It doesn't matter that Islamic extremists ARE out to kill us. The latest rule from the White House....Do not mention terrorist and Islam in the same conversation. I find this appalling.
The same can be said for basically all Americans. Lets go back to the little protest sign that I had you make. If you were to do that protest, you will be hounded out of town. Why? Because people will not want to believe what you have written. They want to believe that Islam is the victim, and we all know how muslims love to play the victim. Oh yes.....they are the victims. The poor, poor muslims. The same muslims that will kill their own daughters if they become too westernized. The same poor, poor muslims that behead their wives if they ask for a divorce. The same muslim students that will chant and attack the stage of any speaker that dares to speak out against the violence Islam brings. The very same muslims that kill over cartoons, that demand the death of teachers over teddy bears. The very same muslims that scream Death To The Jews, riot in the streets, create Muslim Only zones in cities, and threaten the lives of billions of people on this planet.....while we sleep.
Unfortunately, you will pay for it in the future.
That spider is coming down, and if we don't wake up.........
