Iran leader urges deeper Muslim monetary links to fight US ‘hegemony’
So many delicious, salty tears!
[IsraelTimes] At Islamic conference in Malaysia, Rouhani suggests creation of special banking and financial mechanism among Moslem nations.
But only their clients trust Iran, and none of them have money.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
on Thursday urged Moslem nations to deepen financial and trade cooperation to fight what he described as US economic hegemony, using an Islamic conference in Malaysia as a platform to decry American sanctions against his country.
Ya know... if you gave up your nuclear bomb program, President Trump’s America would ease up. And it’ll be President Trump’s America until 2025.
Rouhani repeated his assertion that the US has used economic sanctions as the "main tools of domineering hegemony and bullying" of other nations.
Whereas Iran uses fake revolutionaries and real jihadis, funded by drug trafficking, to domineer and bully.
Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has been gripped by violent protests since last month amid anger over a sharp hike in gasoline prices following US sanctions after Washington withdrew last year from Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal with world powers. There has been a wave of arrests in Iran and rights group Amnesia Amnesty International has said at least 304 people were killed in the anti-government protests.

Rouhani said the US sought to cripple Iran with the "heaviest sanctions" but the country’s economy is on the mend and moving away from reliance on oil.
Betcha it’s not nearly as lucrative, though. Thank goodness Iran has the cocaine trade to fill in the gaps, managed by Hezbollah and the IRGC, kinda like North Korea’s white juche.
"The Moslem world should be designing measures to save themselves from the domination of the United States dollar and the American financial regime," he said at the opening ceremony of the three-day conference that included leaders from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and host Malaysia.

Rouhani suggested the creation of a special banking and financial mechanism among Moslem nations, using local currencies for trade and giving each other trade privileges to deepen linkages.
Like that will ever happen in a low trust, winner take all, honour/shame culture.
He said rising extremism as well as challenges such as weak governance, poverty and corruption are endangering illusory sovereignty and paving the way for Western interference in Syria, Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, Afghanistan and other Moslem nations. But if Moslem countries harness their collective strength, they could confront such problems, he said.
True. If only they could. Even mostly non-Arab Iran can’t manage it under the Mad Mullahs — it isn’t realistic to expect more from Arab countries.
Rouhani proposed the Kuala Lumpur conference establish a joint fund to finance technological cooperation among Moslem nations, set up a a joint research center in artificial intelligence and cyberspace, and create a Moslem market in digital economy and cryptocurrency.
Dream big, I guess...
Notably absent from the conference is Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
, which snubbed the meeting because it was not held under the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Saudi Arabia and Iran are bitter rivals. Pakistain also withdrew from the conference in a move to assuage its ally, Saudi Arabia.
...which of course annoyed Pakistan's other ally, Iran. Oh well.
Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...
launched a veiled criticism against the OIC, telling the conference that the platform that brings the Moslem world together was besieged by a "lack of implementation."
Unexpectedly.
"We still haven’t made any progress regarding the Paleostinian cause, we still can’t stop the exploitation of our resources, we still can’t say ’stop’ to the fragmentation of the Moslem world over sectarianism, that’s why," said Erdogan.
So, so true. Well summarized.
Moslems account for 94 percent of worldwide conflict with one out of three arms sold globally finding its way to the Middle East, he said. "The Moslems are using their resources for armament and for conflict and while doing so they are enriching the Western arm dealers," he added.
...and impoverishing themselves. It’s a lifestyle choice when you’re as untrustworthy as your neighbours.
Rouhani leaves Friday for a two-day visit to Japan.
Ooooooh — look at him being all diplomatic and stuff.
The Jerusalem Post adds:
Divisions in the Muslim world were self-evident as only about 20 countries sent leaders, or delegations to the Kuala Lumpur summit, though all 57 members of the OIC had been invited.

In welcoming remarks, Mahathir said the Kuala Lumpur Summit was meant to understand why Islam, the Muslims and their countries were "in a state of crisis, helpless and unworthy of this great religion."

Mahathir said the summit, which will end on Saturday, should address the world's perceptions of Islam, the rise of Islamophobia, the decline of the Islamic civilisation and reforms in governance needed by Muslim nations.

#1 "in a state of crisis, helpless and unworthy of this great religion."

I bet their solution is the same as in the West with the Left's politics, more centralization and concentration of power!
