tehran Iranian President Mohammad Khatami described Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement as the “pride of world Muslims” for its resistance to Israel at a meeting with one of its leaders recently freed from jail by the Jewish state, Iran’s official news agency IRNA said on Tuesday.

The reformist president on Monday met Lebanese cleric Sheikh Abdel Karim Obeid, one of a number of Hezbollah prisoners freed in late January in a swap with Israel.

“Freed Lebanese PoWs are symbols of religious resistance,” Khatami was quoted as saying to Obeid, who had been held in Israeli jails for 14 years before his release.

“The Lebanese resistance fighters are the pride of world Muslims, Arab nations and the Iranians,” Khatami said, adding that “no one will forget the fact that it was the Lebanese resistance fighters who kicked out the Zionist occupiers and liberated Lebanon.”

Khatami however played down the links between Iran and Lebanon’s largest Shiite movement, saying that “the bonds of proximity between you and us are our religious and cultural commonalities.”

Just more proof that a regime change in Iran with the whacking of the top 1,000 of these murdering mullahs would be a positive event in world history.

Oh wait, he left out the part about the millions of dollars he steals from his people to keep Hisbollah in the best armaments. He forgot to mention the 30,000 Iranians who were allowed to live in substandard housing because the money that would have made their homes earthquake safe was going to fund terrorism.

And the democrats want us to think this guy is a moderate.

There is no difference between Moderates and Hardliners inside the Islamic Regime of Iran. They are the same! Methods are different!

This says much about the state of Islam.

Death to all terrorists and to their supporters!

Let Freedom Ring!

We are winning ~ the bad guys are losing ~ trolls, terrorists, democrats and the mainstream media are sad ~ very sad!

Obviously Khatami doesn't want to win a popularity contest in the West. We all had great hopes for this apparatent Mohammedan moderate, but he turned out to be yet another enemy of democracy and human rights.

[TexasRepublic]

There is no such thing as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Toothfairy, or a moderate muslim.

Well, since they're messing with nukes now, perhaps there will be an 'accident.'
