Iran calls on Islamic nations to come together

2006-11-26

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on Islamic countries to come together and establish independent political, economic, and cultural organisations.

Ahmadinejad said that Islamic countries "through cooperation should provide new and better ways of governance."

The failures of capitalistic and materialistic western world necessitates it, he added.

He was speaking at a meeting with visiting Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar here on Thursday.

Pointing to the plentiful resources and tremendous potential of Islamic nations, president said the advancement of any Islamic country is a step forward for the entire Islamic world.

Iran and Malaysia are two of the most advanced Islamic countries, he said adding that Iran would strengthen its ties with Malaysia.

The Malaysian foreign minister said Iran provided a great role-model for other Islamic nations to emulate.

#2 Starting to make their pitch for taking over the ummah ? This must make the House of Saud nervous. Wonder if Cheney brought up this tender issue? Notice that the Sauds are buying huge amounts of military equipment the last five years, not that they can handle it, but I think they see a showdown with the Mullahs coming round the bend.

#1 Pointing to the plentiful resources and tremendous potential of Islamic nations, president said the advancement of any Islamic country is a step forward for the entire Islamic world.

And exactly how has the presence of those "plentiful resources" (oil) contributed to the creation of universities, hospitals, aerospace programs or extensive manufacturing infrastructure? From all indications, the huge revenues derived from those "plentiful resources" have gone to blowing people and things up around the globe. It's time to return the favor.

Iran and Malaysia are two of the most advanced Islamic countries, he said adding that Iran would strengthen its ties with Malaysia.

"[A]dvanced Islamic countries", now there's an oxymoron for the ages. From all indications, the final advancement that awaits most of these despotic hell-holes is the extremely hasty arrival of nuclear weapons ... from foreign arsenals.

The Malaysian foreign minister said Iran provided a great role-model for other Islamic nations to emulate.

How comforting. Iran's Ahmadinejad calls for unity and establishment of uniquely Arab cultural institutions whilst simultaneously working with all his might to exacerbate the Iraqi conflict until it becomes outright civil war. For this alone he needs to die.
