Via Jason O’Grady, I see that MEMRI is up to their usual business of inflaming anti-Arab feelings (for some background see these posts, here, here, here, and here.) Now, I have no reason to think that MEMRI is making up this posting, that’s not their MO, they cherry-pick inflammatory texts to translate. It is unfortunate that there is no further information as where the text they are translating came from, but I am willing to take it at face value. The material if factually inaccurate (the cube has already been built, the store has been open for several months, there is no alcohol served on premises, etc.). I must confess though, that I live close by and go on pilgrimage there at least once a month and play with the toys. I know of no one who is offended by this thing (except for the fact that the elevator only seems to work 50% of the time). But of course, as you can see by some of the comments on Jason’s blog, MEMRI has achieved their goal of de-humanizing Muslims as thoughtless brutes.

McCain Loves Dead Americans
Let’s be clear, if you vote for McCain you may as well put up a bumper sticker that says “The only good American is a dead American.” His policies are guaranteed to result in more and more death, not only for Americans, but for people all around the world. I’m furious that he’s even considered a real candidate for the presidency. I offer as evidence of his blood-thirsty ignorance the following: McCain has repeatedly claimed that Iran is training Al-Qaeda. We heard this canard back in the run up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Let us be clear: AQ…
Prompting a Tele
It seems that Barack Obama is using a teleprompter. Apparently this is bad because it means he is stooping to GOP levels of having everything scripted for him. You see before, he spoke from conviction and didn’t need to have anything pre-written. At least, I think that’s why it’s bad. I can’t imagine why it would newsworthy otherwise. But Sarah Palin, she swears she doesn’t need a working teleprompter because she know everything. Oh wait, sorry. Republican talking, just invert the story and you’ll get the truth. It’s just like Calvin and Hobbes. Election 2008, McCain, sara

Yeah, I don’t know of anyone who is offended either but “teaching hatred” is what MEMRI does best.
Not offended by Apple Store
Muslim Website Says Muslims Aren’t Offended By Apple Store – altmuslim.com It seems people are trying to manufacture a “Muslim outrage” over the new Apple Store building in New York, which is of a cube shape and was covered in…
So Mr. Smartypants, if the Apple Store is not anti-Muslim why does it have a Genius Bar? We know the Muslims are adverse to rational thought, thus they must hate geniuses. Furthermore, we know that Muslims dont drink (not during Ramadan, publically), therefore the bar is there just to provoke. We all know that music is haram, and Apple makes its cash from music and music players. And finally, I have it on good authority that the “i” in iPod, iMac, and iBook, refer to “Israel”. I will get my pornography on a different, more Muslim-friendly platform. I am no longer the MacDaddy or the DaddyMac.
