UK policy invited attacks - Iran

Ayatollah Kashani attacked the West's war on terror Iran has condemned the bomb attacks in London as inhumane, and offered its condolences to the victims. But one of the country's top clerics, Ayatollah Mohammed Emami-Kashani, said they were the direct result of the UK's support for US and Israeli policies.

The ayatollah called al-Qaeda an "illegitimate child" of the West.

The Friday prayer leader said it was divine justice that a group which had nothing to do with Islam had now conspired against its backers.

The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says Iran's view is that US funding for extremist Sunni Muslim groups opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s set the stage for the emergence of the Taleban and al-Qaeda. ...

I'm glad the BBC and Iran cleared this all up. No need to find the bombers, now.

[xrp]

I'm going to start making remarks like this when earthquakes occur in Iran. I wonder if the MSM will give me coverage?

[Nachum]

Ah, and what will it be when we catch the bombers and send them to Gitmo? Divine mistake?

My 9 year old daughter has better logic skills then these genetic retrogrades.

Iran needs to be dealt with sooner than later.

[Mr. Jazzy]

So, if a BLU-82 "accidentally" is dropped in the middle of his harem while he's diddling one of his sheep, then it was a Divine Justice.


Sounds good to me.

We're going to find out, sooner or later,

If Abdul will pray, to a glowing crater.

In Iran, illiterate, totally ignorant mass murderers = Allah.

makes sense, in a macabre sort of way...

[Mister Baredog]

The ayatollah called al-Qaeda an "illegitimate child" of the West.

He sounds just like a DUmbocRAT, always accusing others of what is actually their doings.

Audacious moron alert.

When "religious" mullahs start talking about how the west had it coming, they should be painted with a bullseye and taken out with a big bomb that causes a lot of collateral damage. First, the "west had it coming" talk gives cover and comfort to the terrorists, and second, societies that allow such people to live among them deserve and collateral damage the dropped bomb causes.

Why are we fighting the terror war with one hand behind our back? I guess it will take a suitcase a-bomb taking out Chicago. God, I hope it never happens but the enemies of the west are scheming and would if they could.

I'm hoping the useless, stupid Mullahs in Iraq will meet "divine justice" for their cruelty and depredations in their country.

Ayotollah Kashani: the voice of the enemy. Pure propaganda, and should be treated as such.
