Iranian thugs

They're trying to tell the Netherlands what movies to watch.


A senior Iranian lawmaker warned the Netherlands on Monday not to allow the screening of what it called an anti-Islamic film produced by a Dutch politician, claiming it "reflects insulting views about the Holy Koran."


Alaeddin Boroujerdi, head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, promised widespread protests and a review of Iran's relationship with the Netherlands if Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders' work is shown.


"If Holland will allow the broadcast of this movie, the Iranian parliament will request to reconsider our relationship with it," Boroujerdi said, according to IRNA, the official Iranian news agency. "In Iran, insulting Islam is a very sensitive matter and if the movie is broadcasted it will arouse a wave of popular hate that will be directed towards any government that insults Islam."


So, the shorter, less diplomatic version is "SUBMIT TO ISLAM OR FACE OUR WRATH, INFIDELS!" Uh, no. At this point, the world would be better off telling any Islamic Facist to kiss our asses and go piss up a rope.

I live on my feet, not my knees. I wonder if the Netherlands can say the same. I guess we're about to find out.
