| Ayatollah: US, UK, Israel Citizens Should Be Made to Feel Unsafe |
| 2004-06-05 |
| From IranMania Top Iranian hardline cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Janati on Friday accused the United States, Britain and Israel of "warring against God" and said their nationals should be made to feel unsafe wherever they are. "If the Muslims do not know security, the Americans, British and the Israelis should not know security, for they are "moharebs" (warring against God)," Janati said at Friday prayers in Tehran, broadcast by state media. "It is the duty of all Muslims and ardent non-Muslims to stand against the Americans, the British and the Israelis and to endanger their interests worldwide." His comments sparked chants of "Death to the United States", "Death to England" and "Death to Israel" from the thousands who gathered for Friday prayers at Tehran University campus. .... He urged Iraqis to unite behind Ayatollah Ali Sistani, the top Shiite cleric in Najaf, a holy Shiite city where Sadr’s men are battling US troops. The Americans "are here to fight Iraqi people, Kurds, Arabs, Shiites and Sunnis, in addition to Islam, so do not fight one another, and come under the umbrella of Ayatollah Sistani, for the clerics are your path to salvation," he said. .... |

| #7 The best they could manage in eight years of fighting was a draw with Iraq, a country less than half the size of Iraq. Semantics cleanup on aisle six! |

| #6 The other thought that might occur to them is that since Khomeini and friends purged the Iranian military in the 80's, it has been on a par with France. The best they could manage in eight years of fighting was a draw with Iraq, a country less than half the size of Iraq. |

| #5 Actually, I think that he meant to say that ayatollahs and mullahs are beginning to feel unsafe, and for more than a few very good reasons. |

| #4 I hope that Administration officials are taking note of all this for future reference and making plans accordingly. This incitement can't keep going on unchallenged. |

| #3 Ayatollah: US, UK, Israel Citizens Should Be Made to Feel Unsafe Perhaps it's time to make Ayatollah Ahmad Janati and all the other Iranian mullahs feel America needs to seriously consider a decapitating strike upon a full session of the Guardian Council. Few other short term solutions present themselves to us right now and such outright declarations of hostile intent by the Iranian government should not go "unrewarded." After all, Iran's continuing pursuit of nuclear |

| #2 Agreed, Garrison. Lat week it was a raving lunatic speech that can only be read as a declaration of war against us, and now it's threats against Western citizens. I'd like to resurrect the phrase "We begin bombing in five minutes". |

| #1 How many FIGHTIN' WORDS and INCITIN' PHRASES have to spew out the orifices of Iranians like they poured out of Usama's mutton hole before the carnage of Bloody Tuesday, before President Bush orders the US MILITARY to preemptively grease the freaks? Is preemption OUT, and taking a major hit before we attack back in vogue? |
