UK more dangerous than a jungle: Iran top cleric

Friday, August 26, 2005

LONDON, August 26 (IranMania) - Britain is a terrible place to live and anti-terrorist laws there make life as an animal in a jungle far safer, a top Iranian cleric said Friday, AFP reported.

"Day by day, corruption, tyranny, felony, insecurity and different dangers are attacking human society. Just look at the fight against terrorism in Britain," Ayatollah Ahmad Janati said in a Friday prayer sermon.

"All gatherings are under the microscope. People should know they are being watched. In cinemas, parks, streets and even in the railway stations, cameras are watching," he said, asking "what kind of security is this when people are constantly monitored?"

British police, he said, can also "arrest anyone without any evidence or pressing charges".

"Is this life for a human being? No animal in a jungle lives with the amount of insecurity that they have there," he alleged, slamming British authorities for also "spreading insecurity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine."

The British government has embarked on a wide-ranging crackdown on Islamic extremists and other groups in the wake of the July 7 suicide bombings, which killed 56 people, and attempted copycat attacks on July 21.

If he isn't fomenting terrorism he doesn't need to worry. I have to wonder why he's griping ...

To make life in the UK sound unattractive and TRY to make life in Iran sound not so bad. ["It's a jungle out there"]

UK more dangerous than a jungle . . .

Maybe it is because people more civilized than Islamofacists live in jungles . . . people like cannibals.

Britain is a terrible place to live

Planes, trains and buses leaving every hour on the hour. Unlike Iran, people are free to leave.

They dream about having security cameras in Iran,
their nightmare is a free people.

Britain is under attack from domestic jihadists.

I wonder what would Mr. Jinati would suggest that they do in self defense?

What a shame--Britain is no longer safe for Islamic terrorists. What's a jihadist to do?

The cleric is trying to foment anti-Brit opinion and incite British Muslims to action, just like CAIR and other American Muslim organizations and clerics do.

Every mosque, madrassa, and Islamic organization should be held under a microscope. If our leaders in this country aren't doing it, then it is up to the citizens.

It's as if he's just coming out and saying "Of course the fifth column exists. Tin foil? Hardly, and we'd appreciate very much if you'de stop watching."

Of course freedom loving Americans are confused, hurt and angry over all of this. We are naturally skeptical of the loss of freedom associated with hidden cameras, rfid tracking and the like. It's indeed unfortunate this sorrow has been visted upon Britain and America.

It's a bit confusing, but Janati is preaching in Iran, not London. The people at IranMania are in London.

I'm not confused. I will simply add that his remarks also intend to incite Iranians.

Funny that this goop identifies his kind as animals.

Now there's something we can agree on.

How much safer if the Muslims all left!

Yes you have to wonder why he's griping. What sort of 'gatherings' need to be secret?

Yet I'll bet that few if any Muslims leave the evil UK. One, because wherever they came from was far worse, and two, because they are there to fulfill the mandate of creating the British caliphate by outnumbering the real Englishmen.

Ummm. I don't seem to recall bombs blowing animals to bits in the jungle. I'd rather live in the jungle than a country that has hourly bombings because of the appeasers/PC-Police.
