POPSIranian Basij Thugs Taking A Beating 1.06.2010 Iran's revolution entered a new phase with Ashura - the protestors, as I noted here, have become far more militant. The protesters are willing to stand and attack the IRGC and basij thugs attempting to brutally repress them. And here is a bit more anecdotal evidence - a video showing a crowd attacking a group of basij on their motorcycles. What A Difference Two Weeks Has Made Wednesday, January 6, 2010

POPSWelcome to Islam Religion of Peace! They must be just the right size to inflict a lengthy, torturous painful death carried on for hours of fun and joy! Iranian officials deny the stoning. In an interview with Le Figaro on September 10, 1994, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was questioned straightforward: "Are women accused of adultery being stoned in Iran?" Rafsanjani replied: "No, no such thing exists in Iran. This has been fabricated to damage Iran." Well, here is the proof. The picture speaks a thousand words! Welcome to Islamic Republic of Iran! After 1979 (Islamic Reaction), our nation had turned to a Pile O Shiite! It is 30 + years that we have been drowning in Shiite. When will we free Iran? It is totally up to you? Are you Iranian or are you Muslim? You can’t be both! It is an oxymoron to be both! The sooner you decide, the sooner we can determine our future!

POPSSUperSYmmetry=Theory Of Everything? Why should we care if the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) finds the Higgs Boson? How is SUperSYmmetry, Higgs Boson, gravity, dark matter and String Theory connected? Really good, comprehensible article for us non-scientist types to help us understand the what, who, when, where and why of all this stuff. Very worthwhile to take the time to read. I think so, anyway.

POPSMukyokai & Pacifism Small weaknesses in the Mukyokai opposition to Japanese Imperialism do not bear comparison with the outright compromise of the organized churches. As previously noted, the main factor in the Mukyokai independence was its lack of organizational structure. The denominational institutions were preoccupied with administrative and organizational survival, whereas the Mukyokai were free to be responsible for their actions as individuals, and therefore to witness their faith with honesty, integrity, and personal freedom.

POPSThe Neuroscience of Sin! Why do we do it? Reading this article made me think of the proverbial "chicken and the egg." The article suggests that we sin because our brains are evolutionarily designed to do so. This leaves us to conclude that you cannot manage sin as it is hardwired in. I don't agree with that. I think sin is the chicken! The article does a great job of illustrating how various emotions and motives play out in the brain not the other way around. The good news is the very last paragraph. Read it for yourself...enjoy!

POPSPETA's dirty secrets: 7 things you didn't know about PETA
More: regularly target children as young as six years old with anti-meat and anti-milk propaganda, often waiting outside their schools to intercept them as they walk to and from class-without notifying parents.… PETA…fund the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a deceptive animal rights group that promotes itself as an unbiased source of medical and nutritional information… PETA…billboards taunt Christians with the message that hogs "died for their sins."…And its infamous "Holocaust on Your Plate" campaign crassly compares the Jewish victims of Nazi genocide with farm animals. PETA has repeatedly attacked research foundations like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, because they support animal-based research that might uncover cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases…president Ingrid Newkirk has said that "even if animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we would be against it."

POPSThe sound of ACORN falling Appearing before the National Press Club, Lewis condemned as "McCarthyism" the scrutiny her group has drawn since employees in several cities were filmed advising undercover journalists on how to commit housing fraud. They're just bad apples, see, and she's working to "turn this thing around." But what of the ACORN affiliates under investigation in multiple states for voter fraud? What of the Rathkes themselves? Nope, the evidence is piling up that ACORN is rotten all through. No wonder its political allies are running for cover. Lewis said she doubts the group will ever get federal money again. That would sure be a good start.
