Fake porn used as propaganda

WorldNetDaily is now reporting the maker of the fake pornographic photos depicting US Soldiers gang raping Iraqi women is unhappy about the work being misused:

The 27-year old porn filmmaker behind the fake rape photos that sparked an international controversy spoke out today on the flap from her office in Budapest, Hungary.

The bogus 'gang-rape' photos that were published around the world in newspapers and websites and presented as evidence of U.S. crimes in Iraq or as alleged evidence, were still shots taken from porn movies produced by Andrea Marchand. The movies and still shots appear on the Hungarian website "Sex in War."

In many cases, the perpetrator of the hoax and its variations has remained unidentified.

The Budapest-based filmmaker has been making graphic movies for the past two years. Marchand produces films for "Buy Film Ready," a production house that has outlets in Paris, Budapest and Lausanne, Switzerland.

"I heard about this and saw those articles in some newspapers and on the Internet and I really don't understand how people can use pictures that they don't have any rights to and without asking me," said Marchand. "I heard also that a lot of Arabic newspapers published my pictures also and reported that they are true pics."

The photos were published, and in some cases enlarged, in several prominent Arab newspapers, with no blurring of nudity or shielding of the alleged rape victims' identities. Following WND's expose of the fake photos, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo demanded retractions from the newspapers.

Marchand was especially surprised that the Boston Globe repeated the allegations of rape associated with the photos, as WND first reported, and published images of four of her most graphic photos. The Globe also made no attempt to shield the identity of the purported rape victims or blur the nudity, although in the second edition of the May 12 production run, the images, contained in one larger photo, were reduced in size.

I have already posted a screen shot of the IraqBabes web site comparing the Drudge file containing the Boston Globe coverage. Unfortunately the mainstream media is not exposing this to the masses, but WorldNetDaily has another report on others who are:

Fake "rape" photos that originated on porn sites and were distributed throughout the world as evidence of coalition atrocities undergirded a recent call to jihad by a London-based militant group that supported the beheading of American hostage Nick Berg.

In an "urgent" statement released on May 4, the same day WND debunked the photos, the British-based radical Islamist group Al-Muhajiron rang the alarm over the depictions of gang-rape.

"The more vivid and explicit photos however weren't even shown," Al-Muhajiron announced. "Muslim women being forced to perform fellatio on U.S. soldiers, forced to drink urine, and U.S. soldiers pleasuring themselves over the faces of Muslim sisters as they cringe in desperation and disbelief and utter disgust, their face veils and clothes having been ripped off."

The group announced that following an urgent meeting, a group of scholars from the Sharia Court of the UK, along with Al-Muhajiron, were calling for all Muslims in the region to unite against the British, American and other foreign invaders.

"Muslims remain silent and the regimes in Muslim countries continue to shake the murderous hands of these abettors or rape, torture and pillage," the statement read.

"It is too late to stop the atrocities which have already taken place, but it is not too late to drive these nasty infidels out of Muslim land once and for all. … Let us support those trying to liberate Muslim land wherever it is being occupied.

The report ended with an illuminating statement of the terrorists’ mindset:

"The ritual and systematic torture, abuse and humiliation of innocent Muslims was bound to have serious and severe repercussions, including attacks against the non-Muslim occupiers."

The group also listed as cause for grievance the widespread support of Western regimes for the "pirate state" of Israel. In addition, discrimination against Muslims, including the holding of "innocent" Muslims in jails in Cuba, Italy, Spain and Germany, was cited as something that makes tourists and overseas civilians vulnerable to retaliatory attacks in return for the release of Muslims being held or changes in "these regimes' foreign policies."

The group urges all non-Muslims to leave Muslim countries.

Al-Muhajiroun reminds its followers of the "central and clear cut concepts" of the obligation to fight jihad, martyrdom operations and the rejection of all non-Islamic legislative bodies and laws, such as the "U.N., IMF, NATO, etc. ..."

The group also says that "Islam will one day dominate the world."

The mainstream media has not covered this. Perhaps that would take away the Democrats idea that the UN can handle this problem. Yes…we need a united world to face these threats, but anti-American rhetoric is not accomplishing this end. Shame on the liberal Democrats and the liberal media. Shame on liberal Hollywood and Michael Moore.
