Iranians hurl petrol bombs at Austrian embassy

The protesters, chanting "God is Greatest" and "Europe, Europe, shame on you", smashed all the diplomatic mission's windows with stones and then tried to hurl petrol bombs inside.

Austria currently holds the presidency of the European Union. Protesters also waved placards and shouted slogans against the EU's stance on Iran's nuclear programme.

The bombs exploded in flames against metal grilles guarding the windows.

Further demonstrations were planned for later on Monday outside the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Tehran.

"OK, Ahmed, we've burned down the Norwegian, Danish, Swiss, Belgian, French, German, and British embassies...anybody left?"
"Ummm....Iceland! We haven't gotten mad at Iceland yet!"

(Together) "Death to Iceland!"

What is the count so far on the embassies burned and gutted? Did I hear correctly that somewhere they murdered a Catholic priest in one of their rampages? I have been out of the loop a bit since Saturday.

If you've read the linked article you saw that this groups doctrine is to hasten the coming of the mahdi through the spread of chaos in order to bring about a true islamic republic

Which is my read also. But I keep asking myself, why nothing here?

Somewhat cynically.....

I'm wondering if they don't work for the cia or mossad as agents provacateur.

By getting them to riot like this over a cartoon they've done more to hurt the worlds view of TROP then words can express....

Of course they are. And they are trying to make sure they have nuclear weapons when it happens. There is no secret in any of it, it is proclaimed policy, from Laden, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.

"I don't recall that any Austrian newspapers even printed the cartoon."

They don't care. All whites look alike to them. We are all degenerate infidels who must be beheaded, or firebombed, whatever the current "in" punishment for westerners happens to be at the moment.

"Yet those who follow Jesus and Moses teaching are infidels? That would make the Muslims traitors to their own faith. If they believe Jesus and Moses are prophets of the same God as Mohammed, then the conclusion would be that those who follow the teachings of Jesus and Moses are just as entitled to practice their faith, and just as entitled to the glory of Heaven."

Nope. They get around that argument by believing that Mohammad was the last prophet and that any piece of inane jibberish that he gurgled out during his entire dufus life supersedes everything that came before.

Ah, further proof the Iranian regime ginned up these protests to deflect from their own nuclear ambitions.

Like bin laden, they want this to become a wide-open war of religions.

Jimmy Carter had the Shah of Iran, our ALLY, overthrown and supported the AYATOLLAH coming in!! Carter was the most inept, dictator-loving president ever.
