I Clerics say protests against Mubarak government were inspired by 1979 revolution in Iran
Israel News
Iranian leaders expressed satisfaction with the anti-government protests in Egypt, with one leader saying he believes the protesters were inspired by the revolution in his country in 1979.
Fifth Day Protesters return to Cairo's streets / Associated Press Anti-government protesters hit streets throughout Egypt for fifth consecutive day, attack police forces with rocks and firebombs just hours after Mubarak promises Cabinet will resign. So far 74 people have been killed, reports say Full Story “Today, as a result of the gifts of the Islamic revolution in Iran, freedom-loving Islamic peoples such as the peoples of Tunisia, Egypt and nearby Arab countries are standing up to their oppressive governments,” the New York Times quoted Ayatollah Mohammad-Taghi Mesbah-Yazdi as saying.
He congratulated the Egyptian people, saying their actions were "based on the principles" of the Islamic revolution.
Western officials fear Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be replaced by a hardline cleric similar to the ayatollahs in Iran, like the Muslim Brotherhood opposition party, which also gave rise to Hamas.
Mohammad-Javad Larijani, secretary general of the Iranian High Council for Human Rights and a conservative leader, also voiced a positive opinion. "In my opinion, the Islamic Republic of Iran should see these events without exception in a positive light," he said.
Larijani also expressed hope that the "anti-Islamic" Tunisian government led by the ousted Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali will be replaced by a "people's government".
He was encouraged by the events in Egypt. "There, Muslims are more active in political agitation and, God willing, they will establish the regime that they want," he said.
In 1979, after years of internal turmoil, the Western-backed Shah regime was toppled in Iran and an Islamic regime established instead.
If it happens, within 5 years the radical Sunnis and Shiites will be at each others throats.
But they’ll both be after Israel’s throat too.
That's right. They'll all be itching to take out Israel. Pray for Israel because if they attack her, it will be the end of us all.

I think that if they ever run out of other people to kill, they would turn on themselves. I see them all as mentally unbalanced by generations of inbreeding and full of hate.
Our Muslim-in Chief is hoping so.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

They hope for one in the US, though they're closer in Egypt
