“Shoot The Zombies!”

“Shoot The Zombies!”

He is not a Muslim,

He is not black, he is not Hispanic, but white! An honor student “Inspiring to be a scientist” so he writes on his resume posted on Monster.com. His doctoral thesis is: "How We All Behave”

The 24 years old James Holms kills 12 people and injures 58 in a theater 2 days before the one year anniversary of Norway’s massacre.

 “Why did they have to arrest him, police should’ve shot him right there?” I hear the comment by another young American boy. 

Young Americans have been joining the army in large numbers for the past 10 years.

They are fighting real wars. Those who are not serving, play it on their video games.

They’ve heard the message loud and clear:

“Shoot The Zombies!”  

To James Holms, the movie goers watching Batman were the Zombies.

Take 2

by iraj khan on

Shoot the Zombies!

He was not a muslim, not a black man or a member of a Hispanic gang but a white male who served in the U.S. army. He had mistaken the Sikh worshipers as Muslims, that's why he shot them. 

As far as he was concerned Muslims were the "Zombies" and had to be destroyed.

An Army veteran who neighbors say played in a far-right punk band was the lone shooter in the rampage at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin that killed six people and wounded four.

The attack occurred 16 days after a gunman killed 12 people and wounded scores in a Colorado movie theater.

According to the FBI, authorities have received tips that Page might have links to the white supremacist movement.

Imagine what would happen to Iranian Americans here if there would be a war with Iran.

Still vague

by Shirzadegan on

I read the blog again and again. Reviewed all comments. Different people are saying different things. One is pointing out to the differences between Christianity and Islamic faith.

"Such horrific acts when it is done by a [Christian] American is hardly ever characterized as terrorism.  However had it been a Muslim, American or not, we can all imagine the characterization. Case in point " Bavafa

Another person is referring to the skin colors and race superiority....." he would not be alive, if he was black!!" Mamoor

The above statement is clearly racism and refers to racial profiling. Yes, blacks are prone to get killed more than white counter part. Do you know why?

  Most likely the writer never lived in black neighborehood and he/she is not familiar with black culture.

Why Christianity don't get bashed, but Islam get bashed? because this guy didn't kill according to principal of Bible, but our virgin sisters in Evin prison get raped the night before their executions according to Koran or Islamic principals. That is very simple.

    Another example is 9/11 incident. They were killing over 2000 innocent people in the planes and at the same time the terrorists were chanting "Allah o Akbar". They were killing according Islamic sharia law or rather the "culture of martyrdom".

Now, do you see the differences?

    Camel tiger party also kills many Indians on Trains or other public areas by installing bombs. But the Buddism never got bashed. Do you know Why?  because Camel Tiger party didn't do it according to the principal of Buddism. The members of that terrorist organization just happened to be Buddists.

At the end, the media is not coming out of the blue in western countries. It discusses whatever happens on daily basis in the world.

"i would not b suprise if this kid was on some drugs . most of the recent mass shooting were done by a person who was on medication"

You have valid points here that needs to be looked at. I will follow up with your points, thanks for your feedback.


nojanthegreat

thanks for the blog iraj

by nojanthegreat on

thanks for the blog iraj khan there have been a steady rise in this sort of mass killing in recent us history . diffrent mall shootings and school related shootings are part of this epidemy . some blame the easy access to fire arms and especially AR full auto in latest shooting , but as a gun owner myself think the problems are in other places as well . tv games are making grusom images eaier to withnessed. but i think one of the major think that people and press over look is the effects of physco drugs on young america . now a days majority of kids are on phyco drugs , from early age . one of the side effects are indeed paranoia and suicide tendencies . i would not b suprise if this kid was on some drugs . most of the recent mass shooting were done by a person who was on medication . what you guys think ?

Shirzadegan,

Please read the blog and comments once more.

But what puzzles me most is why a young Christian educated white  American man creates such a tragedy by his actions.

A. Did he go crazy? If yes, why?

B. Is there a relationship between on going wars by U.S. that has effected the young people in United States?

C. Do you Remember the movie called 300? Do you remember How Persians were portrayed as creatures and Zombies,

D. Do you remember how they were killed?

That's what I mean by 'Zombification' of one's opponents.

What is the purpose of this blog?

by Shirzadegan on

"He is not a Muslim,

He is not black, he is not Hispanic, but white!" Iraj Khan

Is this blog promoting the idea that "white americans" are bad people or muslim, black and Hispanic are better people? Is this racial superiority or inferiority blog?  what is the purpose of this blog? I am sorry, but it is a little vague.


مآمور

why?

by مآمور on

Sorry

by Dr. Mohandes on

But it will become about israel and Jews when you yourself bring the topic up.

As Afsaneh puts best

by iraj khan on

Sorry but this blog is not about Israel and Jews.


Dr. Mohandes

Iraj khan

by Dr. Mohandes on

How is it Completely different when day in and day out we read provocative and ming-boggling things as Zionist Israeil this and occupying regime of Israeil that, in iran?

 You don't see this as JEWS being villified and demonized in their OWN country of Israel??? You really don't?? Do u ever hear or see even one single line being mentioned in iri media about making the distinction between the people of israel and its gov? WHat does that tell you when they say : hey. YOU ARE BANNED FROM TRAVELLING TO THE COUNTRY OF ISRAEL? 

Why are you so hell-bent on denyting the obvious??!! it is Exactly the same thing you happen to be complaining about, Not a tinge of difference.

 I am sorry but how does this 

I have not read one line or heard one comment from the media to relate this tragic incident to the on going wars fought by U.S. soldiers. Four or five U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan today, no one is talking about them! 

Relate to our discussion here? and i do agree with Bavafa . a terrorist act is a terrorist act no matter what and regardless of how the media wants to look at it!

Why do you insist on going through unrelated hoops just to make a point that is absolutely invalid to begin with? What is with the hypocricy?

 


iraj khan

Dr.Mohandes,

by iraj khan on

All governments, in the final analysis,

represent the ones who put them in the office and vilify their opponents, Iranian government is not any different.

But 'Zombification' of a whole population by the media here is a completely different thing. Muslims living and practicing their religion in their own countries are demonized here, even on this website.

I have not read one line or heard one comment from the media to relate this tragic incident to the on going wars fought by U.S. soldiers. Four or five U.S. soldiers were killed in Afghanistan today, no one is talking about them! 

PS: Also, read Bavafa's comment below.


Bavafa

Ironically or perhaps NOT so…..

by Bavafa on

Such horrific acts when it is done by a [Christian] American is hardly ever characterized as terrorism.  However had it been a Muslim, American or not, we can all imagine the characterization. Case in point:

The Fort hood shooting which was a horrific rampage against MILITARY personal was characterized as “act of terror”  

  //www.politico.com/news/stories/1109/29411.html 

Regardless of how politics/media plays with these cases, my heart goes to the family of the victim.  May life brings them patient and help to cope with this very sad event.

 

'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory

How Ironic

by Dr. Mohandes on

Thank you Mr. Iraj khan for stating the truth, indeed.

I guess, Without ev en having the intention, you subtly made the point and brought to surface the precise strategy employed by The IRI.

Constant demonizing and Zombifying and denigrating its oponents.

Non-stop intimidation and manipulation of state owned and semi-independent media outlest.

Thank you sir, Perectly put. Bravo. Just bravo.

Constant Wars..

by iraj khan on

News and pictures of destruction and mutilation, wall to wall, on all media.

'Enemy' is portrayed as Zombie.

Define the 'Enemy'?

The constant Wars and 'Zombification' of the 'Enemy', that's what the American youth is exposed and preached to.

James Holms was looking for some Zombies to shoot and he found them in that movie theater watching Batman.

Oon yaroo: it's not about 'Colorado is better or Rasht'. I already explained the points. 

Bahmani: your points well taken.


iraj khan

Mamoor,

by iraj khan on

You got my point.

It's always about: "Why did they have to arrest the shooter, police should’ve shot him right there"

The young 19 years old American boy said that to me.

Many Americans, not all may I stress, have been conditioned to think: "Shoot them if you don't like'm".

Mamoor, thanks for your comment.

Wait Until Monday

by bahmani on

That will be the 3 days the "Press" has been busy selling ads like crazy at premium prices. Once they are full, or one of them decides to break from the ranks, we will get the WHY.

Until then they will ONLY gives the WHAT and HOW.

The cops probably knew WHY 30 mins after the caught him. But that does not give the Press time to sell ads, so they stall us for 3 days as we watch and wait and wonder and speculate and WATCH Premium Priced Ads.

So, around Monday we will start to get the WHY.

At the end of it, what everyone really needs to get from this, is above all GUN CONTROL is the issue.

To "save and preserve the republic" no "patriot" should be able to buy an automatic AR15 with a 100 round clip and 6000 rounds of ammo from a website.

That, and a Phd in Neuro Science does not make you a genius.

Good point Iraj

by مآمور on

 Why did they have to arrest him, police should’ve shot him right there

here in Canada, there is joke about US law enforcement and I quote ' they shoot first, then ask questions" the fact that police got him alive is a little bit out of line with the 'American standard procedure'

he would not be alive, if he was black!!

Thanks Iraj jon

Demo,

by iraj khan on

Zombification of Muslims by Israel Lobby and their allies goes as follow:

'Muslims are Islamist', 'Islamists are rapist and terrorist'. 

We all saw what they wrote about the terror act in Bulgaria. They immediately wrote:

"It was done by Muslims, by Iran", meanwhile the Bulgarian authorities and the U.S. government are saying 'we dont know who is beind it'.

We live in a world where the media and centers of power are manipulated by the 'War Party' prescribing the following: 

"Demonize your opponent, call them 'Zombies', and of course Zombies must be destroyed for the sake of the rest of humanity. Don't you think so?"

Demo, thanks for your comment.

IranLoves..

by iraj khan on

Andres Behring Breivik, the Norwegian man behind the July 22 attacks that claimed 77 lives was not studying to get his phd.

He killed those children because their parents belonged to a different political party that he hated.

It's the 'Zombification' of 'OTHERS' whom we don't like that may lead to extreme acts of violence against them. Read your own comment on this very thread about me when you write:

"How many folks did you chomagh in the head before you got your high school degree!?"

Your comment is suggesting that I am a 'chomaghdar', hence a 'Zombie' to be 'Put down', 'Destroyed', 'Starved', etc.

ISRAELLOVESBS!

by Demo on

No need to have a Ph.D. to figure out that the actual perpetuators were indeed 19 'Islamists Rapists' terrorists who had been flown in by their batman's vehicle from Syria! Soon the 'sane world' will bomb that country to get even by killing 19 millions Muslims there! And a few years later the batOsama will be killed by US marines landing without permission in a remote village of our own country Iran! 

PS: Thanks for your good blog, Iraj Khan.

Iraj Khan, Doctoral students are under a lot of pressure!

by IRANLOVESISRAEL on

Doing a Ph.D. thesis when your adviser gives a different song and dance everyday can be very frustrating. I have seen and heard of many Ph.D. students going crazy and violent. The legend has it that a Math Ph.D. student at Berkeley shot his adviser after 19 years of his thesis getting rejected by him. Back in 1990, I saw a Math Ph.D. student at GWU hammering a bunch of people in the head sending them to the hospital because he became nervous before his qualifying exam. Many years ago, a Physics Ph.D. student shot two of his classmates in some Iowa school!? The examples of violence of Ph.D. students going coo-coo is abundant. How many folks did you chomagh in the head before you got your high school degree!?

Shlomo received his Ph.D. without any violence.
