“Oh, no, not him too, please!”
Yup, him too!
Why is the Orthodox Church getting tangled up in politics? And what happened to praying for our enemies, or better yet, for the whole world, regardless of politics? I think that when Orthodox prelates begin to play politics they are no different than the mullahs who stoke fires every Friday in their mosques and use religion as a political platform.
As a former member and the co-founder of the reovlutionary Islamic Republic Party, an active participant in the anti-Shah, anti-America revoutionary movement in Iran (appointed member of the Revolutionary Council by Ayatolah Khomeini), and Iran's minister of foreign affairs and a prime minister, Mr. Mousavi was behind most anti-American (and anti-Israeli) policies since the Shah was deposed until 1989 and again when he served as the adviser to the "reformist" president Khatami in 1997.
When did he win our favor and became our friend? What's even more pathetic are all these sore loser Iranian ex-pats in the US (more like their grandchildren who don't even remember the revolution) who still wave the old Shah's flag, and who are now somehow "spiritually" united with Mousavi who "helped" them become ex-pats! What a crock!
