US must be removed from Islamic world: Khamenei
AFP ^ | 02/20/11

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday called on Muslims to "remove" the US from the Islamic world.

"The main problem in the Muslim world is the presence of the United States. It is the biggest problem. We need to address that," he told a gathering of Shiite and Sunni scholars in Tehran for an international conference on Islam.

"It is necessary to remove the US from the Islamic world," the all-powerful cleric and Islamic republic's commander-in-chief said, adding that the country's arch-foe was currently weak.

Khamenei urged Muslims worldwide to preserve the "people's movement in Egypt," saying it was the duty of both the people and dignitaries of Arab nations and the entire Islamic community.

He reiterated that the Arab revolts were "Islamic" and must be consolidated.

"The enemies try to say that the popular movements in Egypt, Tunisia and other nations are un-Islamic, but certainly these popular movements are Islamic and must be consolidated," he said.

Khamenei also urged that "the conspiracy of enemies to create differences between Sunnis and Shiites" be confronted.

On February 4, in his Friday prayer sermon, Khamenei called for an Islamic regime to be installed in Egypt, a week before that country's strongman Hosni Mubarak was ousted.

I’ll trade. We’ll leave Islam if Islam will leave the West. Otherwise, no deal.

Radical Islam needs to be removed from the Islamic world, such as it is.

Wow. Near universal first reaction to the headline: Deport all their sandy asses (since we can’t tell the “good” ones from the bad because of taqiyya) and close the border to them forever. Nuke ‘em if they squeal.

“He reiterated that the Arab revolts were “Islamic” and must be consolidated.”

Gee, that doesn't sound like democracy to me.

We created this mess in a variety of ways, not the least of which being that we fostered our own dependence on Middle East oil. Here we are, a mere 20 years from the end of the cold war, and we have another ‘evil empire’ to deal with. It will be harder this time, given that we've lost our sense of national identity and replaced it with a politically correct desire to commit national suicide.

I have a hard time seeing how we stabilize this mess without more conflict or at least with a devaluation of the MEs petroleum assets.

We really should leave.

And we should take everything we brought in with us, strip the “piddle east” bare of anything based on western engineering or technology. And what we can’t physically take back, nuke.

Let them drink oil and eat sand while the sun bakes the religious fanaticism deep into their bleaching bones.
