Iran's new president declares worldwide 'Islamic revolution'
World Tribune ^ | Thursday, June 30, 2005 | SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM

Iran's president-elect has proclaimed an Islamic revolution of global proportions.

Mahmood Ahmadinejad said his election coincided with what he termed a new Islamic revolution.

"The wave of the Islamic revolution will soon reach the entire world," Ahmadinejad said. "In one night, the martyrs strode down a path of 100 years." Ahmadinejad, who did not elaborate, was speaking to the families of those killed in a 1981 attack at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party, Middle East Newsline reported.

The Teheran mayor has served as a senior commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, responsible for the nation's missile and nuclear weapons programs, and has been identified as a suspect in the killing of Kurdish dissidents in Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The 49-year-old Ahmadinejad, who participated in the takeover of the U.S. embassy in Teheran, in 1979, was regarded as the most anti-Western of the presidential candidates. On June 24, he defeated Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former president who headed the Expediency Council, the regime's watchdog over what had been a reformist-dominated parliament. "Thanks to the blood of the martyrs, a new Islamic revolution has arisen and the Islamic revolution of 1384 [the current Iranian year] will, if God wills, cut off the roots of injustice in the world," Ahmadinejad was quoted by the official Iranian news agency as saying. "The era of oppression, hegemonic regimes, tyranny and injustice has reached its end."

The speech marked the first time since the late 1980s that an Iranian president vowed to export Islamic insurgency throughout the world. Allies of Ahmadinejad said the president-elect, who takes office in August, would seek to revive the principles of the Islamic revolution in 1978. They said Ahmadinejad would also seek to impose Islamic behavior in public, including strict enforcement of a dress code.

"Islamic and revolutionary culture have been neglected in the past years," Iranian parliamentarian Mohammad Taqi Rahbar said.

Iran has been cited as the leading financier of groups that appear on the U.S. State Department list of terrorist organizations. Iran's leading clients have been the Hizbullah in Lebanon and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, both sponsored by Teheran, as well as Hamas and the Syrian-aligned Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.

Iran is still, and has been since 1979, the most dangerous country in the world!!!!

The "reformist" president Khatami was nothing more than a smiley-face, hiding the HORRIBLE MONSTER beneath!!! Now, with the election of this bird, the monster bares its teeth at us and the rest of the world, right out in the open! At least now we know what we are up against.

I believe that the new president was also one of the "revolutionary students" who captured our hostages back in 1979, and held them until early 1981. Bush's investigation should show that clearly, very soon.

Iran has a puppet in Europe, islamist-dominated "Bosnia", which is at the same time also a protege of Saudi Arabia. The higher echelons of our governmental and media elites still crawl with "Bosnian" apologists. It's high time to reverse our policies, favor the Serbs, and stomp on the monster that crouches in the heart of Europe!!!!

I predict an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities within the year

I hope so, but I'm beginning to believe that that's not going to happen, since I believe that the Israeli's, if they were going to strike, would have done so by now.

Yet another reason never to watch MSM. Brian Williams yesterday : "...several U.S. presidents were at minimum revolutionaries, and probably were considered terrorists of their time by the Crown in England."

What an ass.

"...evidence mounts, that a significant portion of "islam" is still itching for war."

This proclamation perfectly supports the piece posted last nite by CHARLITE:

Koran predicts "Blazing Hell Fire" for its own demise - (eloquent ex-Muslim; Islam must be crushed!)

Mohammed organized a people made bitter by the environment; by institutionalizing this bitterness into the theology of Islam.



He encouraged people to worship him, his hair (Hazratbal mosque at Kashmir in India, his spitum, the water gargled by him, his urine, ad nausem) Thus Islam was his own personality cult, and his was a murderous personality. Warriors with a desire to win pleasure on earth if they live and in heaven if they die, made them paranoid warriors, disregarded danger and were numb to pain and this brought victory, no alcohol also helped immensely to get a tactical advantage like never before.

"So let us presume that Afghanistan and Iraq to date are just the opening battles, of Osama's WWIII....."

That they are; the first military battles. This war has only just begun. Too Bad most Americans don't have a clue as to this little fact.....and if the MSM has their way they never will....

"Hill will pulverize him.

And Hill will in turn be pulverized by someone else. The candidate debates will reveal how lousy she is at thinking on her feet."

Rudy Guiliana is going to run and win, my political opinion. Hope he does too. Not too many people are as pissed as 9/11 as he is.

when several of us raised the point (I'll leave it to others to decide germaneness) that several U.S. presidents were at minimum revolutionaries, and probably were considered terrorists of their time by the Crown in England.

Notice the moral relativism from Brian Williams.

I saw your post and agree about how we beat the Germans and Japs in WWII. Nam was a different war then this one is. The enemy is not contained to a 400 square mile radius, they are global and mobile. One of the real issues we do not impose our military strength on Iran is that we rely on their oil imports, they are either the 5th or 6th biggest importer of oil.

I like Bush's strategy on pushing biofuels. Hell, the technology has been around almost 100 years, it's been greed that has kept us on Middle East but now I think we are slowly waking up to the fact of how truly dangerous and stupid this policy was. When we stop relying on the arabs for oil then we can be as harsh in war as we should be. Until then, our hands are going to remain somewhat tied.

Yes.. MOAB sounds good. The vacuum should make a definite "sucking sound" on the fool's head.

It usually does look that way when God decides to test an individual,group or society.
