Rouhani Blames the West for Rise of Islamic State, Demands Apology
National Review ^ | September 25, 2014 | Andrew Johnson

Posted on 09/25/2014 11:20:03 AM PDT by ryan71

Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, whom the Obama administration has considered enlisting in the fight against the Islamic State, blamed the growing threat of the jihadist group on the West’s involvement in the Middle East.

During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, Rouhani said, “Today’s anti-Westernism is the offspring of yesterday’s colonialism; today’s anti-Westernism is a reaction to yesterday’s racism,” according to a live translation. “Certain intelligence agencies have put blades in the hands of madmen who now spare no one.”

“All those who have played a role in founding and supporting these terrorist groups must acknowledge their errors, which have led to extremism,” he continued. “They need to apologize not only to the past generations, but also to the next generation.”

He also chastised Western media for identifying the Islamic State as being motivated by Islam.

“I am astonished that these murderous groups call themselves ‘Islamic,’” he said. “What is more astonishing is that the Western media in line with them repeats this false claim, which provokes the hatred of all Muslims.”

President Obama and other Western leaders, however, have gone to lengths to argue that the Islamic State is not properly Islamic.

Alahasnackbar is pretty much the universal chant all muslimes seem to be yelling.


You’re right. I wasn’t thinking.

“Alahasnackbar” followed by a “KA-BOOM”

He doesn’t like Bambi’s multiple apologies. Will he accept a call from Bambi now.
They are from the same mold.

Bush’s and America’s fault that ISIS took a page out of the Iranian thugs’s Koran and changed it a little.

If our once Christian nation was still a Christian nation, if we didn’t export our depravity all over the world, if we didn’t punish nations that were striving for obedience to God and His rules, if we didn’t punish the righteous in our nation while embracing the putrid, we wouldn’t be having these terrorism problems. Islam is like the pagans that used to terrorize ancient Israel when they were disobedient.

I’m sure he thinks the rise of Islamic extremeism has nothing to do with the murderous, Islamic theocracy he’s a part of.

“Drown him in pig’s blood, sew him up in a pig skin and throw him to the dogs,”

My methodology is simpler...douse him in bacon grease (hot of course!) then stuff pigs penis and balls down his throat and let him asphyxiate on them!

Him and any ISIS member that’s captured
