Speaker: "Today, the impure world Zionism, in the modern Age of Ignorance, has emerged with the same [polytheistic] ideology, but with new methods. It wants to take over the fields of economy, of culture, and politics, as well as the military, throughout the world."
[...]
"We, the pilgrims who have come to the house of God, condemn the plots and the measures taken by the international Zionism - the deceitful Satan who spreads heresy, polytheism, and idolatry, enslaving human beings with a new method. It abuses the divine religion of Moses. It takes satanic measures, and arouses the world's hatred towards this divine religion and its true followers. We denounce these criminal acts. We call upon the world of Islam and the free peoples to take significant measures to thwart the satanic policy of this camp."
Crowd: "Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar."
Speaker: "We, the pilgrims who have come to the house of God, strongly condemn the aggressive measures of 'the global arrogance,' led by the idol and center of evil, the criminal America. We condemn it for its aggression, warmongering, its murder, plundering, torture, espionage, its abductions, and its secret jails. We strongly condemn it.
"We emphasize that the occupation forces must leave the lands of Islam. We express our hatred and our disgust at the mother of all corruption of this century, the Great Satan, and at its illegitimate offspring, the plundering Israel."
Crowd: "Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar."

Speaker: "My believing brothers, I will now read to you the text of the call of the leader of the Islamic revolution, Imam Khamenei, to the pilgrims who have come to the house of God:"
[...]
"...Today, the fleets of arrogance are, once again, using new methods of deceit, in order to perpetuate and strengthen their control over the Islamic world. Their slogans of spreading democracy and human rights is one of these methods of deceit. The Great Satan, who embodies evil and violence against humanity, raises the banner of defending of human rights, and summons the peoples of the Middle East to democracy.
"The democracy that America wants to implement in these countries, however, means that general elections - which pretend to be popular, but are in fact American elections - will give rise, by means of conspiracies, bribery, and deceptive propaganda, to obedient American collaborators.
"These collaborators will accomplish America's goals of arrogance, and first and foremost stopping the spread of Islam, and removing Islamic values from the scene."
[...]
"The fact that the slogan of democracy is being raised by the greedy people who for many years have supported the dictatorial regimes in Asia, Africa, and the American continent is completely unacceptable. Likewise, when the call to fight violence and terrorism by those who support Zionist terrorism, and who carry out the bloodiest kind of violent acts in Iraq and Afghanistan this is a mockery."
[...]
"The American and British governments, which permit the torture of suspects, and the spilling of their blood in the streets, and the tapping of citizens' phone calls without a court order, do not have the right to claim they are defending civil rights.
"The governments that have blackened the face of modern history with their production and use of nuclear and chemical weapons to not have the right to impose their patronage on the issue of preventing the spread of weapons of mass... on the issue of preventing the spread of nuclear technology."
They arent any different now then they always have been.
They now have power, unlimited funds, and willing friends in Russia and China all too happy to supply the cause with advanced weapons and technological expertise -and it's on call...
They've simply bribed or intimidated our leaders into selling us out...
imo
If you're suggesting that Islamists aren't jealous of America because American TV shows are full of idiocy and decadence, all I can say is, "would that were true."
You will notice that the modern era of Islamic terrorism (beginning around the time of the Munich Olympics) coincided with the average Muslim having access to television sets and, for the first time, realizing that they were living in Godforsaken hell holes compared to the West, and specifically, the United States. Coincidence? Maybe. But it is definitely NOT coincidence that, in times of war or peace, poverty or prosperity, good news or bad, Islamists seek the downfall of the United States. That is a sign of deep, abiding envy, not hatred.
But what good does it do? How long before a culture moves in and makes what they came here for look like a little piece of where they came from?
Ha ha! That's it exactly. I've heard Islamics say that their ambition is to turn the entire world into one pan-Islamic state. But what would they DO with it?? Would they threaten people like Bill Gates and Donald Trump that, unless they continue to be incredibly successful and provide employment for thousands, they will be hanged? Would they put to death any actress who appears in a sex scene? Would all the Der Weinerschizels be burnt down? (ooh that last one hurt).
"Would all the Der Weinerschizels be burnt down? (ooh that last one hurt)."
Haha, like the Soup Nazi, "no more kraut dogs for YOU!"
Yeah, you're right, and I knew that being from CA you'd know firsthand, as I do being from TX, how our immigrants can make whole neighborhoods look like little Mexico, little Middle East, or little Asia.
I kind like little Italy, though. ;p
"May the parking lots in Iran be turned to glass"
"May Iran be turned into a glass parking lot"
Where are the daisy cutters when we need them?
