Great! sign my Freep name too.
I hope it is many many many many many more then just one spot
There is no politician now in office that should be re-elected who allows Ahmajinadad to visit this country, the UN or Ground Zero. Talk about a nation of sheeple!
Another thing or 2 that may perhaps be as much or more offensive (as well as the meaning acknowledged by Arabs worldwide)is if everyone put their left hand (palm out - like a policeman signaling stop) at him and/or hold a shoe with the sole out in his direction. I remembering reading on more than 1 occasion that soles of shoes and left hands are offensive to Arabs - did a search and found this 1 article (I’m sure there are others):
Hands & Feet
You should accept refreshment whenever its offered, but note that you should always use your right hand for drinking and eating, as the left hand is regarded as unclean (as its used for toilet purposes). Similarly, you should avoid showing the soles of your shoes or feet, which implies that you think the other person is dirt, which is obviously highly offensive. You should therefore keep your feet flat on the ground and not cross your legs.
There are a few other do's and don's in this article, here's another:
DonÂt beckon to people with a finger, as this is considered particularly impolite. Arabs might use such a gesture to summon a dog.
During Ramadan, donÂt eat, drink or smoke anywhere where you can be seen by Muslims during the hours of daylight and donÂt engage in any noisy behaviour or embrace or kiss anyone in public.
I've read that, while they won't let anyone except students on campus, there will be people protesting outside Columbia and student protest at Columbia as well.
If I lived in or near NY, I'd be there w you!

Here are some details:

WHERE:
COLUMBIA STUDENTS (w/ Columbia IDs): On campus, outside Lerner Hall
NON-COLUMBIA STUDENTS: The Columbia Gates. 116th and Broadway - we have secured a permit to stage a protest there.

WHY: Remember - the world is watching. This is a monumental opportunity to make our voices heard. Generations will ask us, What did we do to protest? Where were we?

Make your point loud and clear.
Be sure to bring ample American and Israeli flags so that these signs work as part of a clear message!
An advocacy organization that promotes education and understanding that will bring a secure future for Israel and her neighbors.

Because, like, opposing illegal immigration is just as bad as calling for the annihilation of Israel, pursuing nuclear revenge, and funding terrorism against American civilians and soldiers.

Iran warns West against attack
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran told Western powers on Saturday they would regret any attack over Tehran’s nuclear activities and it rolled out a display of missiles and other military hardware to back the warning.
“Our message to the enemies is: Do not do it,” the head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, said, speaking to reporters less than a week after France’s foreign minister publicly raised the prospect of war.
“They will regret it, as they are regretting it in Iraq,” the commander added, speaking on the sidelines of an annual military parade just outside the capital.
U.N. SANCTIONS
Jafari’s words of defiance came a day after major powers, meeting in Washington, said they had “serious and constructive” talks about new U.N. Security Council sanctions aimed at trying to force Iran to halt its sensitive nuclear program.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, addressing the parade, made clear Tehran would not bow to Western pressure.
“Those who think, that by using such decayed tools as psychological warfare and economic sanctions, they can stop the Iranian nation’s progress are making a mistake,” he said.
I’ll sign that one....
Love (not),
theDentist!!!
I hope he doesnt either. I sent him an email that linked this thread. I will be asking him if I can use that for one of my signs. I’m sure he wouldnt mind, it’s too good not to share, lol!!!!
Our country is in so much peril I can’t hardly belive it much less stand it. She is worth so much more than what she has been through. I’m so glad my parents are NOT here to see what all has happened to the USA. I long for what our country was and I long for real men to be back in politics...not these politically correct wishy washy wimps. I used to look at people from other countries crying about what happened there and now I think it is going to happen here too. God save us and our country. Stay safe on Monday. We will be praying for everyone.
“Iran warns West against attack”
And still this madman gets to walk on OUR SOIL?? WTF???
I think the time has come. We as Americans need to shiat or get off the pot
I certainly hope the MSM covers the outrage protests THIS time!
[I would in no way suggest that if someone was to kill nut-men-a-job at Ground Zero it would be hailed as one of the greatest examples of poetic justice ever committed, and that person would be elevated to extreme idol status by the majority of the American people.]
You can bet no jury would convict!
There are more patriots than punks.
Unless somehow, the O.J. jury was in town.
Iâm saddened and OUTRAGED that our civil leaders arenât taking a bigger step in stopping this madness. Seems the common folk are the only one with common sense. OBTW, where are that NY Jews in this? Why arenât the Spielbergs and the other multimillionaires out there pulling strings to stop this SCUM from going to Columbia and ground zero. Their silence speaks volumes. REMEMBER, according to this demon he said the Holocaust never happened and that Israel MUST be destroyed! chirp, chirp...silence...
Ain’t that the truth!!
