Iran:We Want an Apology!!


Recently Iran had demanded that President Obama apologized for past "crimes" committed against Iran by the USA. Now Iranian leaders want an apology from Hollywood over the movie "300". Don't they know that Hollywood supports terrorists?


Iran to Hollywood: Two thumbs down
Never mind that nuclear spat; can U.S.-Iran relations overcome the Mickey Rourke divide? Javad Shamaqdari, the art and cinema adviser to Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, on Sunday demanded an apology from a visiting U.S. film-industry group for what he called insulting treatment of Iran in the movies "300" and "The Wrestler." Iranians (and some reviewers) did not appreciate the depiction in "300" of their ancestors who fought against the Greeks in the battle of Thermopylae as evil, decadent, and effeminate. In "The Wrestler," Mickey Rourke plays a broken-down grappler battling a nemesis called The Ayatollah, who tries to choke him with an Iranian flag. Neither movie was exhibited in Iran.

Netherlands:Theatre Brings in Islamic Gender Segregation


More and more we see businesses in the USA and Europe catering to Islam. Of course each time a business caters to the requests of Muslims, it only encourages Muslims to move on to their next request. Even though a lot of Islam advancing in the West is happening through the free market, it does not mean that it is what is best for our country and our families future generations. I am not against the free market, I am against Muslim immigration. As more Muslims come here we will see more of them using the free market to change the West to suit Islam.


Muslim Men, Women Segregated in Rotterdam Theatre

ROTTERDAM, 28/02/09 - On Friday night, a Muslim stand-up comedian was scheduled to give a show in a Rotterdam theatre with segregated seating for the men and women in his audience.

Moroccan-born writer and TV producer Salaheddine Benchikhi was to make his debut as a stand-up comedian at Theater Zuidplein in Rotterdam. At his request, the theatre said it would offer female audience members the option of sitting apart from the men, as Algemeen Dagblad reported several hours before the show on Friday.

According to the newspaper, 50 of the 590 seats had been reserved for women who object to sitting beside a man due to their Islamic faith. As an extra 'service', the orthodox ladies may sit in the first rows of the balcony.

"Whether the option will actually be utilised remains to be seen", Joyce van Dongen of Theater Zuidplein stated. "Fifty is an estimate made by Salaheddine's management. Since the show is an opening night, we have no previous shows to serve as an example". If called for, a larger number of separate seats would be arranged, according to Van Dongen.
