Bloggers SassyWire and Blazing Cat Fur expose neo-Nazi ideology of Iranian-linked Muslim group

Sassy Wire first noticed that a Shia Muslim group that acts as a mouthpiece for the Khomeneist regime, was posting videos by former Ku Klux Klan Grand Poobah David Duke.

The head of the fanatical Shite group has been courted by the likes of NDP Leader Jack Layton, as well as Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair and Ontario Provincial Liberal Cabinet Ministers.

It's interesting stuff and you can read about it through the following links:

Blazing Cat Fur's first post on it and the follow-up.

The National Post picked it up.

Mark Steyn's take on it has some interesting points, particularly about the Canadian Jewish Congress' sleepwaking mode for dealing with everything.

Hamas, under orders from Iran, attempts to provoke new war with Israel

The Iranian Mullah-controlled, autocratic government is feeling the heat from the wave of democratic uprisings across the Middle East. Iranian government forces have gunned down protesters in the streets of Tehran, suppressing revolt for the moment, but as the death-knolls of the Gaddafi dictatorship in Libya are proving, even a violent, ruthless government can not contain the democratic aspirations of an entire country's citizens.

Supreme Ayatollah Khamenei and Mahmood Ahmadinejad, the actual and figurative Iranian leaders, sensing that Iran's dictatorship may be the next domino to fall in democratic revolt are looking for a way of distracting their population from domestic affairs, and hope to stoke a new war between Israel and its neighbours.

Hamas, Iran's client and proxy in Gaza, under orders from Iran has launched Grad missiles at the Israeli town of Be'er Sheva. Iran hopes to provoke a conflict that will escalate into a pretext for the dictatorship to continue to exercise its stranglehold on freedom in that country.

Iran has been arming its other Mediterranean proxy, Hezbollah, with tens of thousands of missiles in preparation for an attack on Israel from the north.

Iran had planned on using its proxies to provoke a conflict with Israel to serve as a distraction from the Iranian nuclear arms program, but in fear of the pro-democracy movement sweeping the region, they have had to advance their strategy sooner than expected to protect their totalitarian rule.

From Egypt's Al-Ahram Weekly: "Egypt is not Iran"

Far from bringing comfort to the Iranian leadership, Egypt's revolution is inspiring Iran's democratic opposition, writes Rasha Saad

Popular and political forces in Egypt vehemently criticised statements made by Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei last week that described the Egyptian uprising as "Islamic" and linked it to the 1979 Iranian Revolution.   

During his Friday prayer sermon, Khamenei was quoted as saying that "the riots in Tunisia and Egypt are a sign of the Islamic awakening in the world following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran."   

"After years of struggle, the Iranian people see that their voice is heard with strength in other regions in the Islamic world," Khamenei added.  

Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul- Gheit said Khamenei should be attentive to calls for freedom in Iran rather than "distracting the Iranian people's attention by hiding behind what is happening in Egypt."   

The Egyptian foreign minister said that "Iran's critical moment has not yet come, but we will for watch that moment with great anticipation and interest."  

Khamenei's statements caused uproar from Egyptian demonstrators in Tahrir Square, who protested against what they saw as Iranian interference in Egyptian affairs.  

"Egypt will never be another Iran. We will never be ruled by a theological dictatorship as is the case in Iran," one of the protesters told a cheering crowd.
