| 'One Day the U.S. Too Will Be History' |
| 2004-06-06 |
| Iranian Leader Ali Khamenei said that the U.S. is contemptuous of Islam and the sensitivities of the Muslims "because the Americans are convinced that they will easily win the war in Iraq. But they will not see that day. As the Imam [Khomeini] said, 'One day the U.S. too will be history.' In light of what happened in Iraq, we can see now that he is right, because such events move the U.S. down the slope, and they will taste the bitterness of sure defeat." Khamenei condemned the "desecration being carried out by the Americans in the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala in Iraq," and said, "the Muslims will not continue to remain silent in the face of such aggression." Iranian President Muhammad Khatami said, "We condemn all forms of violence, but we must understand that the roots of all terrorist activity lie in the violence of the superpowers
It is regrettable that they accuse the [Islamic] religion, civilization, and culture of violence and narrow-mindedness. Nevertheless, I do not deny that there are radicals among the Muslims, or other people in other societies, who act only by violent means. But it must be understood that the spirit of Islam does not preach violence." |

#2 the U.S. is contemptuous of Islam and the sensitivities of the MuslimsYou bet your sweet bippy we are, Ali. Very contemptuous of your so-called "religion" which you use as an excuse to oppress and murder people. As for your "sensitivities," GROW A THICKER SKIN. You clowns are more sensitive and whiney than a 3-year-old girl. The difference is that most 3-year-olds eventually grow up. Which you clowns never have, especially the men with their constant whining and seething. they accuse the [Islamic] religion, civilization, and culture of violence and narrow-mindednessTruth hurts, doesn't it? the spirit of Islam does not preach violenceHahahahahaha! Coming from an Iranian "leader," that's beyond laughable. Bzzzzzt. Your oral diarhhea doesn't pass the giggle test, Al. Stuff a sock in it. |

| #1 Yes, the U.S. will be part of history - and the present, and the future. I don't think the same thing will be said for the current version of Iran. |
