'US responsible for anti-Islam crusade'
2010-09-13
[Iran Press] A big-turban Iranian holy man says the desecration of the holy Koran is the symbol of a "crusade" by enemies of Islam, holding the US government responsible for the sacrilegious move.
Thus the Big Turban demonstrates that he is incapable of understanding the Other.
"Although Church leaders say the criminal who in the name of priesthood ordered the Koran burning is a lunatic and worthless person, the question is why the White House allows lunatics to throw their weight around," Tehran's Interim Friday Prayer Leader Ahmad Khatami said Sunday.

"This crime symbolizes a crusade that the enemies of Islam have launched for some time now," ISNA quoted him as saying.

Khatami added that the enemies will lose this war as they cannot stand up to the growing power of Islam.

He went on to say US President Barack B.O. Obama and other US statesmen should be held accountable for the blasphemous decision and the desecration of the Koran by anti-Islam protesters in the US as the crime has been committed 'within their geographical borders' and there no excuse is acceptable in this regard.

Anti-Islam protesters in the US have desecrated the Koran on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

One protester burned pages from the Mohammedan holy book in front of press photographers in New York.

Two evangelical preachers in Tennessee set copies of the Koran on fire and members of the group Operation Rescue tore pages from Islam's holy book.

In another incident, a man ripped out pages from the holy Koran and made vulgar gestures with them. The police did not try to stop any of the incidents.

This comes after a Florida preacher called off plans to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

When the Iranian state media calls Carla Bruni a "prostitute" the whole of Iran should be held accountable therefore.

#8  Plentiful nuclear power to shift us away from oil. Let Islam sink to Africa's level instead of having the global power they now wield.

Nah. We just need to get busy playing some Cowboys & Muslims.

Three men are sittin' on a bench.
One's a Texan wearing a Stetson,
One's a Muslim, wearing a turban,
And the last is an Indian with an Eagle feather woven in his hair.

The Indian is rather glum and says "Once my people were many, but now we are few."
The Muslim puffs up and says "Once my people were few, but now we are many millions."

The Texan adjusts his hat, finishes rolling a smoke, leans back in his chair and drawls,
"That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet."

#6  to the turban... imagine how we must feel when you kill Christians & burn our flags and bibles.

oops... I forgot tolerance is only a one way street for muzzies


Actually in a sense he's right. The US is guilty of standing in the way of muzzie world domination.

#5  I have no doubt that Saudi,Iran and Pakistan see the WOT as a War Against Islam but Bambi keeps saying its a fringe element only who get their teachings from the same Book that all these countries love!

#4  These turbans really do not understand our American way and our Constitutional freedoms. The mullahs feel that the President should have some kind of theocracy and be able to dictate. Dissenters should be thrown in jail or hung. Thanks to our Constitution that doesn't happen here.
