Ahmadinejad: Islam religion of justice
2007-05-03
The Iranian President says Islam is the religion of justice and kindness with the Prophet Mohammad (PTUI PBUH) standing as a firm symbol of resistance.

"E pur se muove!"
Addressing the attendees at the first Iranian conference on the Culture of Resistance, Ahmadinejad said disobedience of God would result in deprivation of divine blessings. "It is quite regrettable that nowadays Islam's enemies are going every way to reflect it as the religion of violence. However, they should note that the sun never permanently stays behind clouds," he said.

He expressed concern over the current chaotic situation in the world which jeopardizes human dignity, adding that "continuous threat, discrimination, and poverty are on the rise, which is obvious in the 39 percent increase of civilian war casualties during the last year."

Ahmadinejad condemned the governments which have no care for the life and dignity of humans. "To satisfy their lust for power, they destroy every one no matter what their religion," he noted.

Later in his speech he referred to Israel as a regime which has made millions of civilians homeless and is continually threatening other nations and is " blatantly backed by the west in spite of all these crimes." He slammed the US as a terrorist government which claims the Iraq war to be an attack on terrorism. This is a new concept of terrorism, he said, which has been developed by western powers and its consequences will pass through next generations. "Some fake governments which are backed by western nations are establishing terrorist organizations facing no opposition. Islam is nowadays the victim of an organized terror," Ahmadinejad concluded.

Umm, Yep.
Unfortunately, all Moslems are apostate. Draw what conclusions you will.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle a pot?

#2  Look on the bright side: We agree on the fundamentals! Jeopardizing human life and dignity is bad, threat discrimination and poverty are bad, civilian casualties are bad, terrorism is bad, state-sponsored terrorism is bad, passing down terrorism to your children is bad, and fake governments are bad.

In fact, since we agree on so many things, I don't see why everyone doesn't just pack up and go home!

#1  I'd love for Ahmadinejad to step out into the parking lot and try to say that.
