The slogan "Death to America" is not aimed at the American people, but rather American policies, Iran's supreme leader said in comments reported on his official website Tuesday.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei discussed the slogan while meeting with Iranian students ahead of the anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran on Nov. 4, 1979. Militant students stormed the compound and took 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. ...

Well, everything is okey-dokey then. No worries. Because when the Prime Minister of Japan doesn't like an American policy, he says “Death to America”. And when President of France doesn't like an American policy, he says “Death to America”.

Yep, just routine diplomatic language there.

Ya see, there is the difference.

When I say ‘Death to Muslems”, what I really mean is that I want all Muslems on the planet to actually die a physical death. I am sure their governmental policies will follow.

They think that Americans are stupid enough to believe this. Unfortunately, liberals are stupid enough.

Lying to non-Muslims is encouraged by their koran.

So, if we respond “Death to Iran,” he would understand we mean death to Iranian policies — which are set by the Ayatollahs.

Yet, they get so bent out of shape over cartoons and such.

I guess they just have a different sense of humor — that they expect us to understand and accept.

‘The slogan “Death to America” is not aimed at the American people, but rather American policies...’

That’s what HE says.

As if he speaks for all moslems.

Uh huh. And when they chant “Death to Israel” it’s also because they don’t like their policy....of breathing regularly.

Islam means what it says. The useful idiots in the west just refuse to believe it.

The slogan "Death to America"

Is really a nice thing because Muslims love death.

It's like they are saying have a nice day America.
