Iranian “Reformist” Candidate for President Supports Hamas
Posted by Ryan Mauro on May 29th, 2009
Iranian presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi has said he’d continue Iranian sponsorship of Hamas if he wins. Some “moderate.” Karroubi is generally regarded as currently being in third place in the race, with current President Ahmadinejad in first and the “reformist” Moussavi in second.

Posted by Ryan Mauro on May 27th, 2009
If true, this lets the Assad regime off the hook, as they can point to this independent terrorist group as orchestrating the assassination of the former prime minister of Lebanon, Rafik Hariri, who was a prominent leader against the Syrian occupation.

2 Comments »The Coming Islamic Europe
Posted by Ryan Mauro on May 25th, 2009
I highly suggest everyone watch this important YouTube video about the changing demographics of Europe and the U.S. here.
