Iran
US threat still prominent: Ayatollah Kashani
2003-04-18
IRNA -- Interim Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani said here today in his second sermon that the US threat is not over yet, and is on the other hand, still quite prominent. The senior Alim, who was speaking for hundreds of thousands of Tehrani worshipers at Tehran University campus, at the same quoted "those who have written books on philosophy of history" as reiterating, "those civilizations that resort to occupying foreign countries are on the verge of collapse."
Who the hell wrote that? It's patently nonsensical!
Ayatollah Kashani added, "Any civilization that resorts to its military power to secure its interests — such as the US civilization today — paves its path towards annihilation, and eventually a big power would rise against it."
Not any time soon, chum...
