Debbie Schlussel: Congratulations, Mayor Delshad & Iranian Jews Who Wanted ENGLISH Ballots
Recently, I told you about Jimmy Delshad, the Iranian-Jewish-American who was the frontrunner to become Mayor of Beverly Hills. Well, on March 6th, Delshad got the votes, and he'll be Bevery Hills' next mayor.
Delshad will also be the highest ranking Iranian-American in the U.S., which as I wrote, is a great finger in the eye to anti-Semitic Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Also, of note, I told you that because of an absurd federal law, Beverly Hills was sending out ballots in Farsi, which garnered hundreds of complaints from the many Iranian-born Jews who live and vote in Beverly Hills and who are proud Americans that pride themselves in speaking and reading English. More from today's USA Today:
City Clerk Byron Pope ordered ballots in last week's election printed in English, Spanish and Farsi. City Hall received hundreds of complaints concerning the ballots, including many from Iranians, outgoing Mayor Steve Webb says. "They were upset and embarrassed. They're very proud of being Americans, proud of their command of the English language."
To reiterate, this is the difference between Jews and others who come here from Muslim countries and Muslims who come here. The Infidels adapt to America. The Muslims who come here want America to transform itself into Islamerica.
Go to Dearbornistan, and unless you read Arabic, there are so many sections where you'll be in another country.
