"Liberal" Ayatollah Defends Hizbollah Terrorists
TEHERAN Iranian President Mohammad Khatami described Lebanonâs Hezbollah movement as the âpride of world Muslimsâ for its resistance to Israel at a meeting with one of its leaders recently freed from jail by the Jewish state, Iranâs official news agency IRNA said on Tuesday. The reformist president on Monday met Lebanese cleric Sheikh Abdel Karim Obeid, one of a number of Hezbollah prisoners freed in late January in a swap with Israel. âFreed Lebanese PoWs are symbols of religious resistance,â Khatami was quoted as saying to Obeid, who had been held in Israeli jails for 14 years before his release. âThe Lebanese resistance fighters are the pride of world Muslims, Arab nations and the Iranians,â Khatami said, adding that âno one will forget the fact that it was the Lebanese resistance fighters who kicked out the Zionist occupiers and liberated Lebanon.â Khatami isnât a "reformist." Bush lied when he said "Islam is peace." Islamofascists and not "Baathists" are attacking American troops in Iraq. Limited war cannot work in Iraq. It is time to cut out all spin, and refer to all spinners by the term they so clearly deserve: liars. Posted by: Man Bites Dog 2004-04-28 |
