| [Iran Press TV] Senior Iranian holy man Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Khatami warns of enemy plots to disturb the country's calm by spreading rumors about discord in the country. "The foreign-based and isolated enemies of the nation, in their interviews constantly seek to suggest there is a rift in the country," Ayatollah Khatami told crowds of worshipers in Tehran on Friday, IRNA reported. The holy man cautioned against an enemy plot to show the atmosphere in Iran as tensional, calling on Iranian officials "not to play in their court" and "not to fill their puzzle squares." Ayatollah Khatami ruled out a "dual government" in Iran, and emphasized that the only rule in the country is that of the constitution which above all contains Islamic Jurisprudence. The capital's interim Friday Prayers leader noted that the Medes and the Persians has learned to assess the righteousness of parties and politicians based on the enemy's response. "I tell the foreigners that whatever figure or movement you support will be recognized as deviatory by the people [of Iran], and this will be to that [figure or movement's] disadvantage," he added. Addressing the developments in the region, the holy man blamed the United States for the unrelenting violence in Arab countries where people are demanding the end of the rule of their dictators. He accused NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the style of the American pants... forces of engaging in "a war of attrition" in Libya in a bid to win control of the oil-rich country in the long run. Ayatollah Khatami pointed to the US intervention in Yemen, and blamed the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council for siding with "dictators and executioners" and functioning as "the arm of the US" in the region. He lashed out at the "deadly silence" from the international community. "You the United Nations ...an organization whose definition of human rightsis interesting, to say the least... , are you not an organization of nations? ... Why are you as silent as death? You the Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... , are these not Arabs? Why aren't you supporting them? You the Organization of Islamic Conference, why have you been hit by this plague of indifference? Why aren't Mohammedan scholars crying out [in protest]?" he questioned. Ayatollah Khatami warned the ruling royal families in Soddy Arabia and Bahrain to stop their violent crackdowns on popular demonstrations and anti-regime protesters. "I warn Al Khalifa and Al Saud that every crime you commit takes you a step closer to elimination," he said "People in the future will remember the Al Khalifa [regime] as war criminals and the Al Saud regime as traitors standing by Israel in the 22- and 33-day wars," he added, referring to the wars Israel waged respectively on Leb in 2006 and the Gazoo Strip in Dcember2008-January 2009. |

| #2 Theholy man cautioned against an enemy plot to show the atmosphere in Iran as tensional, calling on Iranian officials "not to play in their court" and "not to fill their puzzle squares." he also said: Don't get caught in a half-court defense or give up the fast-breaks and turnovers. Don't ice the puck. Play smallball with their heavy hitters, and finally 'give us 110% and play it one game at a time'", quoting Ayatollah Crash Davis |

| #1 "The foreign-based and isolated enemies of the nation"...seem to worry our esteemed friend. And he admits to some discussion about a "dual-government" as if that potentiality might exist. Well, he brought the subject up, I was just standing here watching him fiddling with his turban. I wonder what he could possibly be talking about, dont you? And he speaks of "Islamic Jurisprudence" which, I think has something to do with if you shake it more than three times you might be playing with it. Which is an old Moslem custom and requires a law to govern any excessives (as it were). I particularly like the use of the word "deviatory". Its in the text somewhere near the Iranian Constitution and the personality traits of the Medes and the Persians. It usually occurs in reference to foreigners like the evil (ONE) the United States, (TWO) NATO, and (THREE) any Moslem country which has a problem with Dictators. The Holy Man also accused NATO and the violent United Statesforces of engaging in "a war of attrition" in Libya in a bid to win control of the oil-rich country in the long run. Personally, I have no problem with that myself, but we should be sensitive to the Iranian Moslem point of view which seems to think we might be doing what is in our own best interests in Libya.....to drag it all out as long as possible and wait for the next news brief on Syria strangling on its own breakfast. Neither Assad nor Khadaffy sure are going to get their developing abortions back in the closet anytime soon.I personally dont think they either one of them has a prayer. Meanwhile the whole world munches donuts and watches the Telly with their feet up while our Holy Man lashes out at the "deadly silence" from the international community. It is apparent that the majority of humanity could care less what happens to Iran, especially when they are doing it largely to themselves. Its kind of interesting watching Moslems shove can openers up their nose. And as a Closer, this Holy Man brings up how fast Israel is in waging a war and how the Moslems always seem to lose in Oopsy time. As to what people of "the Future" will remember...that depends on WHO writes the History books. BUT if you see the street signs in Hebrew you know Islam has had some big problems somewhere on THAT highway. |
