| Iran leader urges students to jihad and "martyrdom" |
| 2005-01-12 |
| Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday stressed that "enemies of the Islamic Republic are trying to humiliate and diminish the value of martyrdom and the culture of jihad in the eyes of the youth, particularly students." In a message to the 8th Congress on Martyred Students held in the southeastern provincial capital of Kerman, the Iranian leader urged students to continue to promote the culture of jihad and "martyrdom" (To die for something you believe in) among themselves as "a source of national strength and foundation of pure worship." Ayatollah Khamenei, in his message, cited by IRNA, called on the youth to honor the memory of their martyrs and to put their trust on the Almighty God. |

| #8 I just think of the big yellow "M", for "Martyrdom", under which it says "millions and millions slain". |

| #6 Too bad the USAF Space Command didn't have those GPS-guided tungsten rod platforms in orbit already. Khamenei's caravan traveling around the Iran countryside would be a perfect target for a literal bolt out of the blue. |

| #2 Sounds like a real winning campaign. Longterm which do you think will "win hearts and minds": Iran: Culture of death US: Culture of life Iran-You might want to ponder whether WHAT you are dying for (a form of Islam that is not going to survive and is building up contempt for any form of Islam) is the best way to prove religious commitment. |
