Iran's new president declares worldwide 'Islamic revolution'

Iran's president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportions.

Mahmood Ahmadinejad said his election coincided with what he termed a new Islamic revolution.

"The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world," Ahmadinejad said. "In one night, the martyrs strode down a path of 100 years." Ahmadinejad, who did not elaborate, was speaking to the families of those killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, Middle East Newsline reported.

The Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, responsible for the nation's missile and nuclear weapons programs, and has been identified as a suspect in the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979, was regarded as the most anti-Western of the presidential candidates. On June 24, he defeated Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who headed the Expediency Council, the regime's watchdog over what had been a reformist-dominated parliament. "Thanks to the blood of the martyrs, a new Islamic revolution has arisen and the Islamic revolution of 1384 [the current Iranian year] will, if God wills, cut off the roots of injustice in the world," Ahmadinejad was quoted by the official Iranian news agency as saying. "The era of oppression, hegemonic regimes, tyranny and injustice has reached its end."

The speech marked the first time since the late 1980s that an Iranian president vowed to export Islamic insurgency throughout the world. Allies of Ahmadinejad said the president-elect, who takes office in August, would seek to revive the principles of the Islamic revolution in 1978. They said Ahmadinejad would also seek to impose Islamic behavior in public, including strict enforcement of a dress code.

"Islamic and revolutionary culture have been neglected in the past years," Iranian parliamentarian Mohammad Taqi Rahbar said.

Iran has been cited as the leading financier of groups that appear on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations. Iran's leading clients have been the Hizbullah in Lebanon and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both sponsored by Teheran, as well as Hamas and the Syrian-aligned Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.

In just a few days we have heard Bush quote bin Laden, about WWIII, and now the new top guy in Iran is talking tough.

More evidence mounts, that a significant portion of "islam" is still itching for war.

So let us presume that Afghanistan and Iraq to date are just the opening battles, of Osama's WWIII.

The last battle of WWII, Okinawa, lasted 83 days. In that battle the US deployed more forces, and suffered many more deaths than we have thus far in WWIII. Look at these tables:

But we prevailed in WWII, and we will prevail in WWIII.

Thanks this is the first major article that I have seen which says that Ahmadinejad was involved in the takeover of our embassy.

"The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979."

From GLOBALSECURITY....

A younger Ahmadinejad from a photo from Global security is in the photo above.

Ahmadinejad is the dude on the right with the dark turtle neck, not the guy in the red circle.

That is exactly right.

Iran's mullahs could not have been clearer in selecting this terrorist to be the international face of their country: it intends to build bombs and use them.

Nuke them until the glow can be seen from Mecca, and so they will serve as a lesson to Islamists.

Come next door to Iraq and say hi to your new neighbors, Ahmadinejad......if you dare.

We have to stop PC behavior. We're at war, and war is a dangerous business, not a therapy group.

Pulverize Iran, then send a message to whom it may concern there, "You guys DID say you wanted to fight, DIDN'T you". Goodnite monica.

The call for a worldwide Islamic revolution by the President-elect of Iran has many in Washington DC concerned, The Liberals in the State Department are busy putting together an incentive package for Iran that would discourage Iran from developing WMD's. The RINO's in the State Dept are calling for a Dialog with the legitimately elected President of Iran....snicker..

In a statement released by the POTUS, he has his own way of changing the current deal in Iran..... It's called "COVERT OPERATIONS"

This guy may be a setup to discredit democracy in the middle east. The mullahs can take him out of the picture with a bunch of blather about how people can't be trusted to vote for the best man.

Then they go back to the IAEA and say that they are entirely in compliance now that the "moderates" are back in control.

If this does not validate our presence in Irag, I can't imagine what will.

Further, this pronouncement lends additional credence to Sam Huntington's thesis contained in "Clash of Civilizations".

And, a reminder: Leicester, England early this year acquired a MAJORITY Muslim population! Awwway we go, folks!! I hope you know how to spell: P r o t r a c t e d.

"Iran's president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportions. "

Geez. Give a guy a little power and what does he do with it? He's not even sworn in and already he wants to conquer the world. Sheesh, and sheesh again.

Must be some kind of strange chemical in political genes that activates when some people get a couple of votes.

Thanks.

I wonder if he died while committing an act of Islamofascist terrorism?
