| Iranian speaker proposes Muslim bloc to combat terrorism |
| 2016-12-13 |
| [DAWN] Iran has proposed the formation of a bloc of Moslem countries to fight terrorism and boost economic cooperation that would include its regional rival Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani told a security conference on Sunday that the two countries, along with ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... , Egypt, Iraq and Pakistain, should join hands to promote "regional peace based on Islam, defending the Paleostinian people, fighting terrorism and [boosting] economic interests". Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter rivals, and support opposite sides in the civil wars in Syria and Yemen. Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran in January after Iranian demonstrators stormed Saudi diplomatic facilities in protest against the execution of a prominent Saudi Shia holy man. Larijani said Saudi Arabia and other nations should know that Iran "is not their enemy". He said Iran was opposed to "warmongering in Syria and Yemen" and wanted to resolve regional conflicts through "national solidarity governments resorting to democratic methods". "Iran is not after creating an empire and hegemony in the region," he said. "Our viewpoint is aimed at improving unity." |
