Khamenei Says America and Israel, Not Muslims, Behind Beheadings and Kidnappings in Iraq
Associated Press ^ | July 13, 2004

Iran's supreme leader on Tuesday accused U.S. and Israeli agents, not Muslims, of responsibility for the wave of beheadings and kidnappings in Iraq, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also described terrorism as a "loathsome, horrible" and said fighting it was "of great importance."

In comments made during a meeting with visiting Singaporean Prime Minister of Singapore Goh Chok Tong, Khamenei said: "We seriously suspect the agents of the Americans and Israelis in conducting such horrendous terrorist acts and cannot believe the people who kidnap Philippines nationals, for instance, or behead U.S. nationals are Muslims."

The state-run agency, which carried Khamenei's comments, did not elaborate on his remarks.

Iraqi-based insurgents snatched Filipino truck driver Angelo dela Cruz last Wednesday in one of the latest kidnappings by militants involved in the continuing violence in Iraq.

Insurgents had said they would kill dela Cruz, 46, by Monday evening if the Philippines did not agree to pull its 51-member peacekeeping force by July 20. The government on Monday restated that its troop commitment ended Aug. 20. Tuesday there was no word of what had happened to dela Cruz.

Numerous Islamic militant groups have claimed responsibility for similar operations in the country, including the beheadings of an American and a South Korean.

This guy is just asking for it... almost begging, in fact. I'm wondering why we don't just oblige him and drop a smart bomb on his house accidently...

I totally agree with the Ayatollah. Isreal is obviously beheading foreign nationals and blowing up Western trade centers in the hopes of shifting the focus from their sinister fence building plans. Whoops! Forgot my tinfoil hat.

Of course! Why didn't I see it all before? It's the fault of The Great Satan and the Joooos!

Islam is a boiling, festerous, cancer and should be scourged from the earth immediately.

Similarly, it was Muslims who put astronauts on the Moon, cured polio, and invented microprocessors, lightbulbs, and the internal combustion engine.

Or was that Kim Jong Il?

If Islam was a rational religion instead of some moonbat wacky death cult, this theory would be the only one that makes sense. The Islamakazis are the ones who suffer when a prisoner is beheaded, so who benefits?

Unfortunately for this theory, Islam is actually a moonbat wacky death cult, so the Islamakazis are doing these things even though they are hurting their own cause.

Yes, they'll do anything to make poor Arabs look bad. Seriously, this is taken as an article of faith by much of the Islamic press. They're almost as bad as Democrats.

Parallax...member since 7/13/04...interesting.

You know what? You're absolutely right. Israel has learned from their 1954 escapade, conducted by a single military intelligence unit, and has since embarked on a 50 year long defamation campaign against defenseless Muslim countries, pulling off its greatest coup when the Mossad used mind control to brainwash Mohammad Atta and 18 others into the September 11th attacks. Ariel Sharon wakes up each morning and hunts Palestinian children on an ATV in his backyard before ordering arbitrary missile strikes on pacifist Palestinians, who cower in fear behind the Great Wall of Israel. Israel also has a 50% ownership stake in the U.S. White House, along with Saudi Arabia and several minority owners.

Go back to DU, troll.

The cult of islam teaches muslim believers to be stupid and believe what the Ayatollah says, not what the eyes see.
