"...an utterly corrupt new religion called environmentalism..."
If the history of this planet's climate over millions of years is any guide, we are about to enter a new ice age.
CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper indicated in a 1993 interview with the Minneapolis Star Tribune that he wants to see the United States become a Muslim country.
Iran's Crazy Colour-Coded Catastrophe
By Sally Bishai (05/21/06)
First the Holocaust, then Egypt's National ID Cards, and now.. a calamity of colourful (and cataclysmic) proportions.
You haven’t the foggiest notion what I’m talking about, have you.
Well, consider this: To begin with, Hitler made Jews wear a Star of David, to easier identify them for his devious, “experimental” and genocidal purposes.
Then—and I have no idea just when it started—the Egyptian government put “Christian” and “Muslim” on National ID Cards, making it that much easier for systematic and legalised discrimination against Christians to take place in Egypt (check out a satirical take on “The Way Things Are in Egypt” if you don’t believe me, at http://sallybishai.blogspot.com/2006/05/what-are-copts-doing-in-egypt.html ).
Moving on, however, and focusing our attention something that’s happened in 2006, a year that positions Blackberrys and iPods and laptops as “the basic minimum” of technology, we now turn our attention to something that happened very recently.
It was only this week, actually, that the laughable (but not at all funny) and not-so-new notion of religious identifiers in a less-than-tolerant atmosphere was brought up again, this time in Iran, where their Parliament passed a new law that would “force the country's Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear color-coded ID badges...[including] a yellow strip of cloth to their [Jews’] clothing,” as well as the fact that “Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would wear blue ones,” while all people “got to” don what the law dubbed “standard Islamic garments,” which I guess means “a black tent with a panel of additional fabric that covers the face.”

I had more to say about this fracas, but I’ve actually grown very depressed at the state of the world in the past 24 hours, and shall, thus, refrain from saying anything until this indigo funk lifts from my being..

Her previous titles include "Mid-East Meets West: On Being and Becoming a Modern Arab American," and "Date like An Egyptian: The Egyptian's Guide to Finding a Mate...Or Date."
Sally is the host of "Sally Bishai's 30 Minutes With," a webshow that largely focuses on Coptic, civil, and human rights issues, as well as topics dealing with the Middle East.

Sally's blog, "The AntiSocialite," holds information about current projects, as well as impassioned articles about politics, current headlines, the trouble with society, and many other things that will probably end up getting her killed. (Check it out at http://sallybishai.blogspot.com )
Sally's Bachelor's of Science was in psychology, but her Master's and the Ph.D. she's currently working on are in speech and intercultural communication. She teaches various classes at the university level, and finds time to lecture (off-campus) about her books, her culture, and other controversial topics.
Sally has worked in radio (international and "domestic"), fashion photography, and film, most recently working as a documentary filmmaker (as mentioned above). Her current project deals with the persecution of Egypt's Copts, which, if you'll remember, she happens to be.

"Mexico, Canada partnership underway with no authorization from Congress"
The United States Is Being Overthrown By Our Politicians - "A silent but all-reaching coup is taking place within the
United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden Muslim terrorists, nor will it ever be covered by the mainstream media.
The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection."
"The FDA has conveniently used the excuse of looking out for consumer safety to increase their perverse regulatory power,
undermine free speech, disrupt commerce, and generally get in the way of helping people improve their health. The "half-truth" of
the safety issue is used as a ploy to reduce the rights of Americans, one freedom at a time. Once again, the FDA is seeking more
police power to intimidate supplement companies. This is one step in an overall FDA master plan to eliminate therapeutic nutritional
supplements from the free market. Those who lose are the American public." The FDA - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
