Quid pro quo



The simplified definition of "quid pro quo" is "something for something",
to define it even more , it would be best to set an example, the best example that strikes into mind is what happened in the last couple of years regarding the Mohammad caricature incident and the subsequent ridiculing of the Holocaust. In case we should have forgotten the reason the Holocaust suddenly became an issue between Iran and the west, then I would like to remind you of the Mohammad caricature in the western media, in which the western governments coordinately and vehemently defended this ridiculing of a prophet admired and revered by hundreds of millions, in caricatures depicting terrorists and Ali-Baba lookalikes , as freedom of expression and bedeviling the orient for its intolerance.

As expected, Iranians did not make much of a fuss except for a few noisy demonstrations but, the Iranian government, made as expected the most effective move, just as the "Salman Rushdi" novel of "Satanic Verses" came out and the usual apathy of Iranians, the political leadership came up with a fatwa that changed the rules of engagement, this time around, the Iranian government used the freedom of expression charge by the west and declared a caricature competition about the Holocaust. This declaration was enough to show the west, the limits of their so propagated freedom of expression and taught us all a lesson to respect the others as we expect them to respect us and our beliefs.

This lesson was adherently accepted by the west, but with a grudge towards Iran, and consequently a campaign of defamation towards Iranians started, in which the Iranians are considered Holocaust deniers. As a matter of fact, the Holocaust is an issue the Iranians don't give a toss about, because they don't even know what it is all about, and by no means any business of Iran to start with, but this defamation was enough to compromise the Iranian reputation in the eyes of the uninformed western taxpayers and voters, not realizing it all to be a diversion of attention towards the real problems in the western societies, like the economy that is falling apart or the wars in the middle east which is slowly becoming a nuisance . I would not be surprised if again this defamatory campaign against Iran, turns and starts to haunt the west and its politicians. (Discrediting every opposition with accusations of antisemitism, has happened before...).

For the real Holocaust deniers, whoever they are, I would want to add, when the perpetrator (Germany) acknowledges and insists they have done it and are guilty of the Holocaust and give 6 million as the number of murdered souls...... and the victims (Jews), insist that to be correct , then stop this unnecessary allegations and claims. The world has more important problems to solve.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T...

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ...

Vaccinating Egypt !

Image
This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ...
