| Iran: Mossad Behind London Booms |
| 2005-07-09 |
| One of the country's top clerics, Ayatollah Mohammed Emami-Kashani, said they were the direct result of the UK's support for US and Israeli policies. The ayatollah called al-Qaeda an "illegitimate child" of the West. The Friday prayer leader said it was divine justice that a group which had nothing to do with Islam had now conspired against its backers. The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says Iran's view is that US funding for extremist Sunni Muslim groups opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s set the stage for the emergence of the Taleban and al-Qaeda. A commentary on Iranian state radio, meanwhile, blamed the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, for the attacks. This savagery is not Islam - it is coming from inside of you and it is now punching you. Poltergeist?? It said Mossad was the only group capable of carrying out such operations in London and had often tried to attract attention to its opponents during G8 meetings in the past. |

| #13 HHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmm, so iff I understand the general Islamists' argument correctly they want America and the West to get out of Islamic/Muslim areas so that they the Islamists can get on with conquering the world, includ but not limited to America and the West, and establishing a Global Islamic State/Islamic OWG, and they are going to accomplish this mighty feat by creating a global ARMY OF ISLAM composed of many old geezer Generals and Imams but no young men = warriors as the latter are all being sent on suicide missions!? ALL HE HUM BIG [OLD]CHIEFS, FEW TO NO INDIANS, AND DA WIMIN - read, BEARERS OF FUTURE WARRIORS OF ISLAM AND ALLAH AND MOHAMMED - STILL GET REPRESSED ANDOR SLAUGHTERED AT A WHIM. THATS A MANUAL FOR PRAGMATIC CONQUEST AND MODERNITY IFF THERE EVER WAS ONE - WHERE CAN WEST POINT OR THE ROYAL MIL ACADEMY OF WONGA-PONGA, ETC. GET A COPY! |

| #7 This is totally predictable considering the Shiite/Sunni schism within Islam, Iran's fixation with Israel, and the Islamic propensity toward self-contradiction ("al-Qaeda did it"...no, wait... "the Mossad did it"). "This savagery is not Islam" Right, neither are your centrifuges. Qom -- third holiest crater in Islam. |

| #6 The answer isn't going to come from the muzzies themselves. I think the answer will eventually be supplied by several Annapolis grads who are currently junior officers on Ohios. |

| #5 Tom Friedman is right. change will have to come from muslims themselves. and as long as so-called "moderate" muslims allow this tripe to spew, they will remain ignorant and marginalized. |
