Kharrazi urges Europe to support Iran’s religious democracy
WARNING! KEYBOARD ALERT! PUT THE COFFEE DOWN!In a landmark speech in the European Parliament Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Kamal Kharrazi called on Europe to support the Islamic Republic's reform process and its style of religious democracy. "The Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing a style of democracy based on its religious beliefs and cultural traditions with deep respect for internationally recognized principles." a style of democracy based on jailing and killing anyone who disagrees with the mullahs in charge "Our success in this new experience is challenged by some extremist forces in the region who have depicted a violent and horrific picture of Islam," Looked in the mirror, did you? Kharrazi told the Foreign Relations Committee. "Therefore, it is the common responsibility of all peace-loving and democratic countries to support Iran politically and economically to make its experience a success," he said. "Or we send our terror boomers after you" Kharrazi, the first Iranian foreign minister to address the European Parliament, said: "This is a process that needs to be appreciated and supported. The road to reform is not an easy one. We must be patient and realisitic. Any hasty decision would undermine the entire process." "And I'll end up swinging from a lamp post" There's more, but my eyeballs started bleeding reading it. Posted by: Steve 2003-01-22 |
