Tehran, Iran, May 26 – More than 100 radical Islamists affiliated to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) gathered on Thursday in Tehran’s most famous cemetery vowing to blow themselves up in suicide attacks to kill Americans, Britons, and Israelis.
The “martyrdom-seeking volunteers”, most of whom had covered their faces with a chafieh, issued a warning to Washington that they would blow up United States interests around the world if Iran’s nuclear installations came under attack.
Mohammad-Ali Samadi, spokesman for the Headquarters to Commemorate the Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, a government-orchestrated campaign to recruit suicide bombers, repeated a claim made earlier in the week that more than 55,000 “volunteers for martyrdom-seeking operations” had been registered so far by the organisation, which also calls itself “Estesh’hadioun”, or martyrdom-seekers.
A huge banner was displayed at the event, depicting the coffins of American and British troops in Iraq. In February, the group launched a new recruitment drive for suicide bombers in Tehran to fight against “Global Blasphemy”. The group was set up by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards in 2004. Those who join have three choices: To carry out suicide attacks against “the infidels occupying Iraq”, against Israel, or against Salman Rushdie.

Man, only three choices?
The danish cartoonists must have lucked out.
Tet68, spokesman for the Headquarters to Commemorate the
Extermination of the Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement, today welcomed the Martyrs of the Global Islamic
Movement and expressed a warm desire to see them burn in hell.
Sheesh! These guys are always running their mouths, telling us how big and bad they are.
So why aren't they blowing up shopping malls, baseball stadiums, schools, saturday morning Walmarts, etc.?
Because even their loose cannon leader in Tehran knows that if this were to happen, the American people would force our government to fight the War on Terror like a really, really pissed off William Tecumseh Sherman instead of the dumba** Caspar Milquetoast, mother-may-I, nation-building way its been done up to now.
All they are is talk, and that is all they will ever be.
