TEHRAN, Jan. 28 (MNA) -- Tehran Friday Prayer Leader has said that the United States’ dream of creating a new Middle East under its domination did not come true and a new Middle East, based on Islamic principles, is taking shape. The remarks by Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami were made in reference to the unrest which has gripped certain Arab countries including Tunisia and Egypt.
Tunisian President Zine El Abidine’s government fell on January 14 after weeks of bloody protests over unemployment and high food prices.
The spirit of Tunisia also engulfed Egypt, one of the United States’ closest Middles East allies, where police fought with thousands of Egyptians who defied a government ban on Wednesday to protest against President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year rule.
Ayatollah Khatami told worshippers at the Tehran University campus, “Today, an Islamic Middle East is taking shape and this is a new Middle East which is based on Islam, religion, and religious democracy.”
He added that former U.S. secretary of state Condoleezza Rice had assumed a new Middle East would be created in favor of the U.S. and the Zionist regime.
Rice first introduced the term “New Middle East” to the world during the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006.
“It is time for a new Middle East. It is time to say to those that don’t want a different kind of Middle East that we will prevail. They will not,” she said.
Rice also described the aggression and the plight of the Lebanese people as the “birth pangs of a new Middle East,” saying Israel should ignore calls for a ceasefire.
“Whatever we do, we have to be certain that we’re pushing forward to the new Middle East, not going back to the old Middle East,” Rice stated.
Developments in Arab world echo Islamic Revolution
Ayatollah Khatami also said that the recent developments in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and other Arab states echo the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
Khatami added that the ousted Ben Ali “copied what happened during the ruling of (Iran’s) shah” and faced a similar fate.
Isn´t this exactly what the U.S. Muslim President Obama wanted?
Kill them all...
Our Islamic Marxist in Chief continues to sit upon his hands while Egypt, the Sudan, Yemen, Jordan and Tunisia fall apart to fundamentalists within a week
.
yes
btw- it’s Shah not Shaw
Hey, not so quick. That is our fearless leader and spokesman for the American people!
Thats THE MOST powerful muslim in the WORLD and he is sitting in our white house (soon to be renamed, house of war or some other kendonesian/arabic phrase)
Aint that something to be proud of?
Many muslims residing in the US will soon have the option of moving to the new Islamic theocratic utopia in the Middle East. We can hope, can't we?
What? Stop the presses...put this astonishing headline above the fold, right next to those revelationary stories about "water being wet" and "fire being hot."
new middle east....same as the old middle east....
Unfortunately, I think he is correct. Very bad news for the West, particullarly Europe (including Russia). And of course horrible news for Israel. Be sure to send Jimmy Charter a thank you note.
Yes. And more, he wants it here as well.
Didn’t you hear?
Were are totally going to Win The Future!
BO gots this all under control!!!
Lebanon, Tunisia and Egypt....
The dominoes are falling....
Could Ezekial 38-39 be realized?
“the United States’ dream of creating a new Middle East under its domination”
That’s a fictitious characterization by a lying tyrant. All we did was build a Democracy in a sea of tyranny. And the Iraqi people were grateful to us for it. We don’t need your middle East, Dinner Jug! We have all the oil we need right here under the Democrats’ feet!
Don’t get so worked up.
Think about this.
There are a huge number of men and women in this country who have devoted their entire careers and thus lives to defending and supporting this country.
If things get to the point where bad crap is REALLY coming down, then look to the Marines.
They guard many key points, including the Embassies and THE WHITE HOUSE.
If they are just standing around letting a huge wave of crap overrun this country then I don’t think praying will do anything but waste time.
If it looks like they are standing tall, JOIN THE MARINES!
Praying is "wasting time"? Excuse me, but just WHO do you think has the Marines' six?
Before you answer that, let me remind you of these lines from third stanza of the Marine Corps Hymn:
If the Army and the Navy Ever look on Heaven’s scenes; They will find the streets are guarded By United States Marines.
Sounds like at least tacit acknowledgment of a protection agreement; "You see us safe home, and we'll serve You when we get there, too."
