Iranian hardline newspapers said there were signs of an Israeli-US plot behind comments by Pope Benedict XVI that linked Islam to violence and sparked a wave of anger among Muslims all over the world.
Because the Iranians are effing crazy.
The daily Jomhuri Islami said Israel and the United States could have dictated the remarks to distract attention from the resistance of Hizbullah to Israel’s offensive on Lebanon. “The reality is that if we do not consider Pope Benedict XVI to be ignorant of Islam, then his remarks against Islam are a dictat that the Zionists and the Americans have written (for him) and have submitted to him.”
Of course, their current history of Jew-hatred doesn’t hurt. Ahmadinejad is the modern-day Haman, after all.
“The American and the Zionist aim is to undermine the glorious triumph of Islam’s children of Lebanese Hezbollah, which annulled the undefeatable legend of the Israeli army and foiled the Satanic and colonialist American plot,” it said, according to AFP.
So it’s not just an evil plot, it’s not just a colonialist plot, it’s also a Satanic plot. But, you see, there is no Satan in Judaism, at least, not in the way you think of Satan as that fallen angel dude who goes around causing problems for Christians. They can’t even keep their Evil Religious Plots straight.
Another daily Kayhan said there were signs of Israeli inteference aimed at creating conflict between Islam and Christianity. “There are many signs that show that Pope Benedict XVI’s remarks regarding the great prophet of Islam are a link in a connected chain of a Zionist-American project,” it said.
These guys would fit perfectly in with those morons who protested the 9/11 memorials with those stupid conspiracy shirts. Cue Twilight Zone theme.
Sadly, there are many around the world who will believe this crap, not all of them Iranians or Muslims.
This is really bizarre. To the extent that it is ridiculous.
Unbelievable that someone can even say this out loud.
You’re new here, aren’t you?
Watch the number of Muslim nations that blame Jews for the Pope’s remarks grow.
Score!! OK, I totally had “distraction from the glorious triumph of Islam’s children of Lebanese Hezbollah”? Pay up everybody.
I suppose they read all this in the new revised edition of the Protocols that they get written in crayola. Or maybe they got it from Pat Buchanan and Kos and David Duke?
This frightens me because it shows that a university education often only leads to fools who can read.
