[Rhodes22-list] Politics - Holiday Season

[Brad Haslett]

Here's something you didn't read in the mainstream media.   Quds Day
in Iran, is a holiday started by the Ayatollah Khomeini, the  guy who
was in power when our hostages were taken a quarter of a century ago.
Remember, the crisis that was led by the current Iranian 'leader'.
Here is what he had to say leading up to the 'holiday'. - Brad

President Ahmadinejad gave a series of speeches leading up to and on
Quds Day. At an Iftar address on October 14, he discussed his
"connection with God" and said: "The president of America is like us.
That is, he too is inspired ... but [his] inspiration is of the
satanic kind. Satan gives inspiration to the president of America."

Mr. Ahmadinejad delivered his Quds Day speech under a banner that
read, "Israel must be wiped off the face of the world." He described
the holiday as "a day for confrontation between the Islamic faith with
the global arrogance."

In another speech, he said Israel was "doomed" and promised that the
Israeli "regime will be gone, definitely."

The words "the Zionist regime is a cancerous gland that needs to be
uprooted" were written in a communiqué from the Iranian Foreign
Ministry in honor of the holiday. Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki
held a meeting for other Islamic countries' ambassadors to Iran and
told them that Israel's existence would be shattered and that death
bells were tolling for the Zionists. At the meeting, the Palestinian
Arab ambassador to Tehran, Salah Zawawi, said, "The day for the
liberation of Quds Day is close at hand."
