Sex and the Pervy Jordanian Paralympians

Three Jordanian Paralympians, members of the power-lifting team, won't be able to take part in this year's games. They will be too busy facing a variety of sexual assault charges back home:

Faisal Hammash, 35, faces two counts of causing a child to engage in sexual activity.

Omar Sami Qaradhi, 31, is charged with three counts of sexual assault and one of voyeurism. At least two of the assaults were against children.

Motaz Al-Junadi, 45, faces one charge of sexual assault. All the offences took place between 16 and 20 August.

If there were a Pedophile Paralympics, they'd be shoe-ins for a gold medal.

Homophobic, Misogynistic Muslim Singer From Lebanon Accepts Invitation to Sing in Ottawa

As long as he's not a white neo-Nazi, it's okey-dokey, right, Babsy?

In 2012, [homophobic Lebanese singer Mohamed] Eskander, he released yet an even bolder song “Dod El 3enf” (Against Violence) which is a slogan used by LGBT to promote awareness against discrimination; to the same extent that Iskander mocks the plight of women rights in Lebanon, he does the same with LGBT rights. The song portrays a fight between a parenting couple because of their son’s sexual orientation and blaming the separation of his parents on the son’s homosexuality.

He goes on further to ridicule the young man with feminine mannerisms and suggests that men lost their masculinity since they stopped enlisting in the army. The song further encourages violence against boys displaying any feminine traits and the video clip features a wide array of gay stereotypes, including sexual intercourse in washrooms and boys wearing women’s heels and playing with dolls.

It is unsurprising then that in Mr. Eskander’s country – where he is of course not censored for any of the above – homosexuality is a considered a crime under article 534 of the penal code, and recently it was reported on BikyaMasr.com that security authorities raided a cinema frequented by gay men after another media celebrity – MTV channel host Joe Maalouf – demanded authorities to act upon it in live television.
This sparked outrage and protests because of the “tests of shame” performed on the detainees to determine their homosexuality, yet two more men were arrested later in the month under suspicion of homosexuality, at the same time that Beirut was being terrorized by an armed gang with the purpose of kidnapping Syrian and pro-Syrian activists and the authorities stood idly watching.

None of this would be of interest outside Lebanon, weren’t it for the fact that Mr. Eskander, who has a standing record of homophobic and sexist slurs, was invited to perform in Canada, at Place Vertu Center on September 1, 2012 and at restaurant Mazaj in Ottawa on September 2, 2012. Lebanese LGBT-advocacy organization HELEM – that has a chapter in Montreal, Canada – has strongly condemned the invitation in the strongest terms.

And if any chicks or lesbians happen to heckle his performance, he's allowed to heckle right back (because he's not, you know, a white guy who's inherently racist by virtue of his skin colour*).

*As our "human rights" dogma sees it.

Ban Does NAM in Tehran

To elaborate: the morally bankrupt UN's morally bankrupt Secretary-General will be attending the morally bankrupt Non-Aligned Movement conference to be held in morally-bankrupt Ayatollahville.

Word of the Day: "Apophasis"

James Taranto puts it in a sentence for you:

Obama similarly employed apophasis when he asserted that "nobody accused Mr. Romney of being a felon."

Fun Guy

Sounding a tad more apoplectic than usual, Hezbo's Nasty Nasrallah promises that hundreds of thousands will die should Israel attack Iran.



Update: Calm down, Nasty.

"We Have Two Rabbis With Us..."

Prominent local Khomeinist Zafar Bangash thinks the fact that some useful Jewish idiots/prostitutes/props are prepared to debase themselves in public proves the righteousness of his cause (which, to recap, is Israel's immediate demise). How wrong he is!

 

Update: "S.Z. 'Cuddles'" Bangash thinks the Menzoid must be a Zhooo.

Bernie Farber Says "The Dark Days of Intolerance" Are NOT Behind Us

He must be really upset about the sight of up to two thousand Ayatollah-loving Zion-loathers, the women decked out in their native garb, gathered at Queen's Park to trash Israel. Also at the way Toronto police bullied the counter-protesters but not the splenetic Khomeinists, right?

Wrong. In fact, in his latest "human rights-y" piece--this one's about bigotry in Quebec--the Man Who Would Be OHRC King (coming soon to a multiplex near you?) doesn't even mention it.

Is It Over Yet?

It's been a year since Saint Jack Layton, soon to be immortalized in a taxpayer-funded Ceeb bio-pic, bought the Socialist farm (so to speak), and you know what that means? Another opportunity to indulge in communal boo-hooing and a gawdawful wallow.

I don't know if I can bear it.



Update: Layton's widow claims that the family doesn't want to reveal which type of cancer ultimately did him in because it would be too upsetting to those suffering from the same kind of cancer. However, we know he had already had prostate cancer. We also know that during his final election campaign he was said to have experienced pain in this bones. Putting two and two together, it sounds as though the cancer had metastasized from its original site, and was now in his skeletal system. (That's what happened to my late father-in-law.) I suspect that the real reason the family is so unforthcoming has nothing, or at least very little, to do with wanting to spare the feelings of others with cancer. No, the real reason, I wager, is that they don't want us to know that Jack was already ill with the cancer that killed him while he was running to become Prime Minister, because it might mess with the hagiography.

Update: "Starring Rick Roberts as Jack and Sook-Yin Lee as Olivia":

I Know the Grisly Headline--"Toronto body parts victim was licensed holistic practitioner"--Is Not, I Repeat, Not Funny

So I offer apologies aplenty for the mordant grin that appeared when I read it (my excuse: it reminded me of the famous header "Headless body in topless bar"), and for saying, in a Groucho inflected voice: ""Holistic," was she? Well, not so much anymore..."

My bad.

Not. Gonna. Happen. No Way. No How
