Malaysian Muslim Youth Movement to U.S.: Respect Iranian Sovereignty
2005-07-07
Words of...'wisdom' from Malaysia's future leaders.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 (Bernama) -- The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (Abim) has urged the United States government to respect the sovereignty of the democratically elected government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Abim secretary-general Azizuddin Ahmad... said Mahmoud [Ahmadinejad] had been selected by means of a transparent democratic process which reflected the wishes of the Iranians and even the US government recognised the presidental election. He said that by right, the US government should support the regime change that occurred in 1979 and let the president-elect exercise the mandate of the people that he would lead.

Azizuddin said Mahmoud's involvement in the 1979 Iranian revolution was minor compared with the omission of command by Ariel Sharon, as the Israeli Minister of Defence during the 1980 massacre of Palestinian refugees in Sabra and Shatila.

#13  ..compared with the omission of command by Ariel Sharon,..

Not surprisingly, it's all relative to the actions of the Jews.

#12  Mine too Spot. I am soooo tired of watching the muderous ideology and thugs get a pass by our "civilized" governments and press. They are out to kill us! They want to rule us and forcably convert us! Don't you meatheads get it? Just because the mooks in towels smile at you, doesn't mean they like you, want to be your friend, or desire peace! They are trying to get our guard down! GRRRRRR!!

#11  I'm pissed off today. Just think what could have been avoided if that limp-dick SOB Dhimmi Carter had the balls to smack the mullahs hard in '79. Arrgh! My blood pressure....

#10  Did the mullahs respect US sovereignty in 1979 when they took diplomats hostage? Why should we give a sh*t about them now?

Spot on, Spot! OK, how about this...We agree to respect their national sovereignty like they did ours. Technically, that was an act of war, so we'll reciprocate in kind. How 'bout that you goons?

#8  The president of iran is purely a ceremonial title, the guardian council has final say in every matter. In fact, I think the grand ayatollah himself has final say. That boils it down from a parliment of a few hundred, down to one guy. One extremely radical guy. Maybe that's why we want to see changes in iran, because the people of iran deserve the same kind of freedom we enjoy. Not just because George Bush is a murdering madman, and we want to destroy islam.

#7  Dead right, Spot. The sham of all this is contained in what you said.

On one front they use our sense of propriety and civility and our institutions and customs and laws against us.

On the other front, they shitcan the lot of it, sawing off heads, bombing innocents the world over, and whatever other barbarous acts they can dream up.

No more cover. No more apologist tripe. If they want civility then they can lead the fight against the barbarism. But, just as they steadfastly refuse to take back their religion / ideology from the active jihadis, we must view their obvious inaction as implicit approval - and inevitable complicity.

Nice to deal with people who remember the proper forms.
