Will you look at that. No burkhas. No hijabs. Miniskirts. And no bearded thugs with automatic weapons driving around in pickup trucks. It looks like this is an American city. I've seen similar photos of Tehran from prior to 1979. Also Beirut. Did you know that Beirut used to be called "The Paris of the Mideast"? Yes, it did. But then, something must've happened in that part of the world. Something terrible. Something absolutely devastating and soul-crushing. We may never know what it is, though. It's a complete mystery.

There is a video of Nasser making fun of Islamists wanting to put Muslim women into burkas.
Egypt has a secular leadership again, no thanks to Barry, but I couldn't imagine a modern Arabic leader getting away with snarking like that on Islam any more...

Buddha taught a doctrine of living at peace with all around you.
And Muhammed spent his time exterminating opposing tribes, having sex with nine year olds, and was a slaver - personally buying and selling other human beings.

Yup....Nailed it. Jimmy Carter could have nipped this in the bud by supporting the Shah and whacking the Assholaayyatolla but he was concerned about "human rights" and other crapola.
1979.......He left Somoza to twist in the wind and motivated the USSR to invade Afghanistan in addition to his major fuck up with the Persians.

Posted by: The goat at June 08, 2017 08:51 PM (BO/km)
Was it the dominant strain of Islam that changed?
I think it was something like that. The Kingdom of Afghanistan ran from 1919 to 1973 and it was indeed Islamic-based...but it was more, worldly I guess. The government actively sought outside relationships with and influence from the outside world, including creating relationships with the US and the USSR. Part of these reforms included seeing what we see in that photo up there.
It was in 1973 while the Afghan King was out of the country that his cousin staged a coup and took over. That cousin implemented even more reforms but distanced the country from the Soviets. A few years later a communist-friendly political faction staged a coup, executed said cousin and his family, and in my opinion set the country on the downward slide resulting in what we see today. Certainly highly conservative Islamic factions helped that along I think.
The US didn't do much but help the mujahideen with materiel, but nothing much more than that.
So I blame communism along with Islamofascism.

At the same time, Iraq was descending into a police state under al-Bakr and then succeeded by Saddam Hussein, the Ba'ath (Fascist) Party. Read "Republic of Fear" by Kanan Makye sometime. So much of this was self - inflicted, and also inspired by Soviet influence.

The city of Berkeley has been in an uproar over a bizarre incident two days ago:
A rich liberal hired a foreign-born nanny to take care of the liberal's two-year-old kid. The nanny, not being familiar with Berkeley, did not realize that the friendly-sounding "People's Park" was actually an open-air psycho-ward brimming with drug dealers, homeless bums, violent criminals, people on the lam from the cops, perverts, and generally the dregs of humanity -- and has been ever since the hippies declared the empty lot "The PEOPLE'S Park!!!" in 1969.
Anyway, fast forward to Tuesday, where this naive nanny took the toddler out "to the playground" -- and chose People's Park as the playground.
Well, a moment's inattention, and -- predictably -- a completely psychotic drug-addled "woman" hanging out at the park went over and pushed something into the baby's mouth. The nanny screamed, the cops were summoned, and the schizo chick, when asked what she had put in the baby's mouth, said it was a "Tootsie Roll." Luckily, the kid hadn't swallowed it, because it was recovered and found to be -- a packet of methamphetamine, which if the child had swallowed and if the wrapping had unraveled, was easily enough to be an immediately fatal dose. Like, dead within 30 seconds.
The psycho chick was arrested for Attempted Murder, taken to jail, but after psychiatric evaluation was determined to be delusional and probably tripping on drugs herself and basically just a complete nutcase. The DA, probably assessing that any decent lawyer could easily demonstrate that the perpetrator's psychosis prevented any awareness of the significance of what she had done, and was not intending to kill the baby, lowered the charges to Giving an Illicit Substance to a Child and also Child Endangerment.
Well, in the comments section of the newspaper articles about this, predictably, the lefties of Berkeley starting trotting out the "Oh, the poor criminal had such a traumatic life, 'she was a good girl,' we should show empathy and love for the would-be killer, she grew up in the depths of Oakland with a prostitute for a mom, 'she was a survivor,' etc. etc. etc.
Furthermore, people were linking to an essay written by the perpetrator for some lefty Web site, detailing her sad life.
Then the blowback from sane people saying "We don't give a shit about her sob story -- she tried to kill a baby," etc.
Now is has just come out that the perp has a LONG history of violence, especially against cops. She has stabbed, bitten, broken bones, etc. multiple times -- and yet never got more than a slap on the wrist as punishment. She even ended one cop's career, the injuries were so bad.
On top of this, she is a raving maniac, as evidenced by her mugshot and documented behaviors.
And yet she is not not locked anywhere, and instead wanders the streets of Berkeley, imposing her dementia on society at large, and in general being to poster-freak for what liberal jail- and nuthouse-policies wreak -- by unleashing these maniacs on the general populace.
Anyway, link here to the latest of several articles on the topic:

I had a friend that grew up there. He got out of the country as a teenager and moved in with his uncle in LA. He missed getting drafted in to the Iran-Iraq war.
He's told me things about Iraq and living there that I can't really repeat because people would not believe it.
And he loves America. This country saved his life.

The antinuclear left are always telling us how radiation exposure has "no safe level whatsoever" and invoking the "linear no threshold" concept in which even tiny amounts of radiation do permanent biological damage.
Well, Jimmuh, as a youngster in the Navy, was ordered to participate in the cleanup of the exploded SL-1 reactor. The entire building was a severe radiological mess.
A large group were queued up and told each in turn to enter the building and perform a task (or a part of a task), while on a stopwatch, and then exit immediately as their time expired, even if they hadn't completed the task.
And they were not to return. The dose they would be getting just in that short visit would be considerable. Just the sort of thing the antinuke left tells us will kill ya stone dead, or at minimum severely shorten your years on Earth.
Yet for some reason Carter keeps on living. Hmmmmm.

That asshole Carter has SO much to answer for. He cut the knees out from under the Shah because he was hard-nosed, apparently not realizing that the wogs NEED a hard-nosed leader, and by undercutting the Shah he'd just guaranteed that Iran would go from a hard-nosed pro-American leader to a hard-nosed anti-American leader.

The rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran spurred all kinds of craziness in what had previously been pretty stable oil sheikdoms and kingdoms. The Russian invasion of Afghanistan inspired more "mujihadeen", and spurred the creation of al Qaeda by Usama bin Ladin. al Qaeda means "the base", and he was raising money for the muj in Afghanistan.
But things were already starting to come unhinged, especially with regards to oil. As the '70's progressed, the US was importing more and more oil, and the world prices were steadily rising, and OPEC was formed, to create a cartel.

The Saudis really started minting money after they de facto expropriated Aramco from the Westerners who had worked hard and invested hugely to set it up.
(An IPO of Saudi Aramco is now being floated, and various Western investment banks are invited to participate. So they're proposing to sell back what they stole. How gracious.)
But it was, as suggested upthread, the internal eruptions within the Kingdom in the later 1970s which led the Saudis to start quietly funding Islamic movements abroad. To divert the energies of their homebrewed radicals to assaulting the kuffar elsewhere, instead of questioning and challenging the House of Saud.

I see your point! I think they're related.
When Satrapi was a little girl, she was taught that the Shah was great, and he was Western. She balked at the cognitive dissonance required to live under Islam's deity, which resulted in her fleeing, and seeking oblivion through drugs, because of the loneliness resulting from her flight.
Evil which exists in any culture, has to do with man's attempt to form a 'perfect' world without Jesus Christ. this is what i believe. she fled evil and found evil on the end of her trip.

Yeah, those arab men are fucking obsessive about porn. Back when I was stationed in Egypt in '90, when we packed up to rotate the unit back home, everyone dumped the porn mags they'd bought in Israel. The Egyptian workers on base would dive into the trash cans to snatch up everything they could get their hands on. I saw them getting into FISTFIGHTS over porn mags.
Thing is, these guys were all secret police (the applicant pool was stacked to ensure that they could keep an eye on us Americans). Meaning, privileged. They could most likely get any porn they wanted, yet they'd fucking LOSE IT when it was plopped into a trash can.

I got into an argument with someone for pointing out the main character is unlikeable in many ways. She was pissy to people from other cultures, used her marriage as a cover to do what she wanted, and got the morality police to punish a man just for looking at her. I thought the point was to show that she was kind of self-centered, but evidently that's not allowed for victims of oppression(tm).

But I think the extremist sects have squeezed out all of the people with Western/classically liberal attitudes, or at least forced them into hiding. That's what the left doesn't get when they act like radical Islam isn't a big deal because its "only" a small portion of them. What good are the majority if they won't work to oppose the radicals? At a certain point, silence becomes tacit acceptance. Inaction is tantamount to aid and comfort.

I've read claims that sex segregated education, girls over here, boys over here, is actually better, for both sexes. But then (of course), that is disputed.

A friend told me that once he and his family were on vacation at the beach enjoying the sun and surf, and a couple of guys dressed in suits came strolling through the sand, and noticed they seemed to be heading for his beach blanket area. They stopped in front of his blanket and said "Are you Mr D.?" He said "Yes, I am." They said "We're investigating Mr K for a security clearance!", showed their credentials, and said "Can you spare a minute for us to discuss this with you?"

I have been back to looking at revolutions lately. I am curious. Considering the US today please modify this sentence and replace, if you would, "commies" and "Muzzies". For the sake of argument, "tyrant" can stay.
I have long examined the role of dissidents in revolutions and am beginning to question their weight and/or or perhaps the definition of that term. No matter. The sentence, should you choose to play of course.
It's story of how the commies helped the Muzzies overthrow the "tyrant"
-- and then were SHOCKED when their religious brethren turned their
wrath on their former allies, the communists, and lined them up against
the wall next.

"1965 - with the passage of medicaid, states are incentivized to move patients out of state mental hospitals and into nursing homes and general hospitals because the program excludes coverage for people in "institutions for mental diseases."
That's LBJ restricting medicaid to the people who needed it the f*cking most so they could wander around in nursing homes and local hospitals, btw.

Its cyclic.... civilization advances? then it retreats... advances... then retreats....
We had a couple of hundred really good years... where Western Civ made things better....
We are now in the retreat phase....
Question becomes, will we allow it to totally degrade....

Including the stuff about the late Duke Miley. I take notes, for if I

Or as I called it: a stream of equivocation.
It's usually posted by people who claim the "good" people who did "evil" are actually evil.
And it's also oblivious to the fact that Mao and Pol Pot thought they were saving people from the degradation of capitalism, so "good" in the Marxist viewpoint.
And this is the further perpetuation of the confusion between "religion" and "zealotry". So that we can have endless discussions where we go between "secular religions" describing the Jacobins and the Marxists and "what makes religious people so nuts is believing in superstition".
I've seen enough of this conversation to know that secularists may trot out "secular religions" on the subject of Marx, but almost never are consistent in their definition of religion and secular.

intellectualism. But they destroyed the legacy of Kemeny, and allowed
the quintessential SJW to become president.
There is a quiet backlash manifesting as decreased donations.
I pray that it is enough.

Rush helped me understand such mysteries. It is quite simple, the MSM and democrats everywhere are leftists first and last. Their archenemy is us. Our enemies are their friends. Only when enough of us recognize these truths will we defeat them.

In an age where a woman is considered to have been raped if she changes her mind after a consensual encounter, it would be reasonable to assume that a woman who screams for her rapist to stop as she fights back would be just as much of a rape victim. However, in Germany, if the victim is a German woman, and the rapist is one of the countless imported immigrants, it isn't rape, but rather cultural enrichment.

"1965 - with the passage of medicaid, states are incentivized to move patients out of state mental hospitals and into nursing homes and general hospitals because the program excludes coverage for people in "institutions for mental diseases."
That's LBJ restricting medicaid to the people who needed it the f*cking most so they could wander around in nursing homes and local hospitals, btw.

So, really, it's questionable whether Barack Obama was actually a worse president, because we're still waiting for shoes to drop from ME radical Islam and the Nuclear Norks.
Can Barack Obama actually exceed Carter's legacy--I would hate to find out!

Saudi Arabia and other countries in the area had significant oil
wealth, but had it reached the ridiculous excess we now think of? In
other words, when did they get rich enough to start exporting craziness?
After 1973, when oil prices spiked. Before that, SA's oil revenue was about $100M/year, enough to provide the King with a fancy lifestyle, but not Big Money. By 1980, SA was awash in money.

Was it the dominant strain of Islam that changed?
***
Sayyid Qutb. Every westerner should know his name.
Influential, but not critical. Hassan al-Banna was first. Also, Saudi funding of Islam made Wahhabism far more influential, and "Arabized" Islam in other countries.

Anyone explain better Am I misunderstanding but basically this would be
Like if a super militant evangelical sect started expanding in the 70s
and now eclipsed all other Christian sects?
It would be like if say Carlos Slim died and left his $60B to a particular Catholic religious order with extreme views; so much money that they could now establish seminaries to train huge numbers of priests steeped in their doctrines, pay priests' salaries and church expenses all over the world, provide parochial school teachers and textbooks...
The whole Church would be drawn in their direction.

Him wearing a button shirt with a little gut and a receding hairline. Her in a Hillary pantsuit and a just above the shoulder hair cut that women her age tend to adopt. Nothing special right, secular Muslims, the kind you hear about and wish you heard more from, but then they come to the daughters. The daughters were covered head to toe. People who wish that Islam would go thru a reformation don't understand what a reformation is or that Islam has just had one and that's the problem.

Yay, anti-imperialism. See how much better it was that we didn't take the oil, but instead bought it. Isn't the world better off because we were the good guys? Reminds me of some quote about evil coming from good and good from evil, and the fact you could never know whether an event were good or evil until you saw it in the context of history.
