Thousands of Iranians joined protests today condemning the US, Israel and the anti-Islamic film clip (ISNA)
Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lashed out at US and Zionists for the anti-Islam movie that offended the sensibilities of Muslims around the world. Khamenei called for mass protest and justice for those who offend Islam.
Fars News reported:
Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Thursday blamed the US and the Zionists for the sacrilege of Muslims’ Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in a movie made by an American-Israeli man, and called on Washington to punish those behind the blasphemous act.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the Iranian supreme leader said the US and Zionists’ hands can be seen behind the move, and said if Washington statesmen claim to be not involved in this sacrilege of Islam and Islamic values, they should punish those who have designed and orchestrated the move.
“The filthy hand of the enemies of Islam once again revealed its deep-rooted malice by insulting the Grand Prophet [Mohammad] (PBUH) and with an insane and deplorable measure showed the fury of the evil Zionists at the daily-increasing radiance of Islam and Holy Qur’an in the present world.
“Behind this evil move lie the antagonistic policies of the Zionists and the US and other heads of the global arrogance, who in their vain delusions want to knock down the Islamic sanctities from their lofty position in the eyes of the young generations in the world of Islam and to extinguish their religious sentiments. Had they not backed the previous links in this evil chain, namely Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist, and the US pastors who burned the Holy Qur’an and had they not made orders for [production of] tens of anti-Islam movies to companies affiliated to the Zionist capitalists, things would not have lead to this great and unforgivable sin today,” said the statement.
“The number one suspects in this crime are Zionism and the US. If the American politicians are honest that they had no role, then they must punish those who committed this heinous crime and their financial backers, who have wrenched the hearts of Muslim nations, in proportion to this great crime,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“Muslim brothers and sisters must know that this desperate move by the enemies in the wake of the Islamic Awakening is a sign of the grandeur and importance of this uprising and heralds its increasing growth,” it added.

It’s the islam, stupid!
Ella commented:
It is about time we started some protests of our own.
Lady Mondegreen commented:
Is anyone surprised? Did we expect anything else from Iran?
SpideyTerry commented:
I demand justice, too. So I look forward to the day when Khamenei gets a Mossad bullet lodged between his eyes.
BarbaraS commented:
So what else is new? He or amadinnerjacket say this sort of stuff every time something happens. Well, I’ll amend that statement… they say it when nothing happens also. It’s like they’re beatiing their chests telling the world they really matter after all.
We need to evacuate all our embassies in the ME except Israel asap before other Americans get killed. It would really chap obama to be left only with Israel, wouldn’t it? He learned his lessons well as a child. The muslims start out early teaching their children to hate Jews and regard them as animals not humans.

The movie was likely made by Muslim Brotherhood members of the Obama Administration working off a government grant….the movie is a low budget TRIBUTE to Mohammed that is so amateurish it comes off as mockery…..Note how the trailer shows the Democrat party donkey as the ” first muslim animal ” named Yeboah….> http://youtu.be/ntgzoE7rU9A
Innocence of Muslims is just a cheezy repeat of an earlier low budget 1970s film ” The Messege ” about Bilal the first man to call muslims to prayer…. http://youtu.be/xaPecVZAnAk

And when will the muslims stop kidnapping Christian girls, making movies out of The Protocols of Zion, stop proclaiming “Death to the Jews” and protest just as loudly about Piss Christ.
Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion include the right to criticize other religions and to speak one’s mind. EVEN if the muslims are “offended.”
BarbaraS commented:
And since all those European countries have allowed muslims to immigrate by the millions, maybe our people are not safe there either. It might come down to Mark Steyn’s book “American Alone”.

Been thinking that myself, especially after it came to light that the so-called “Israeli-American” producer is NOT Israeli and is in fact just a pseudonym for a supposed “Coptic Christian.”
That film is FAR too amateurish and FAR too deliberately offensive to have been done by either an Israeli or a Copt, who would likely have roots in Egypt or environs and be all too familiar with the reaction this would generate.
Chris commented:
The extreme Islamists make their own movie daily on national TV with their violence. This has nothing to do with some movie.
MT Geoff commented:
It is a bit thick for Muslim leaders to condemn Innocence of the Muslims when they are so busy committing “blasphemy” and “insult” against all other religions and people of no religion and, for that matter, people who are the wrong brand of Muslim.
As others noted, the leadership of Iran has been spouting “Death to America” since our first mistake of the Islamist era, cooperating in the fall of the Shah of Iran. It’s a rote expression like “Have a nice day”. They are getting too close to being able to act on it, though. I doubt they would lob a missile with a nuclear weapon at us but I am concerned they could work out a ground deployment and detonation. And I think the current leadership of Iran will do so if they can.
stonedome commented:
ah, yes, wishful thinking about the ability of Muslims to be tolerant of other religions. tired of the propaganda yet? a Mosque in any town is possible terrorist launching point, since terrorists are indistinguishable from normal mosque members…how are things in dearbornistan by the way? i’m sure there is a story that the news media is ignoring

No protest before Benghazi attack, wounded Libyan guard says
[A Libyan security guard who said he was at the U.S. consulate here
when it was attacked Tuesday night has provided new evidence that
the assault on the compound that left four Americans dead, including
the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was a planned attack by armed Islamists
and not the outgrowth of a protest over an online video that mocks
Islam and its founder, the Prophet Muhammad.]
it backs up the Obama knew as well as his & Zawahiri’s Arab forum
tweets, not to mention the Muslim Brotherhood members Obama
has positioned inside our government..
oh yeah.. there goes the flimsy faux film protest, yet that is ALL our news
reporters are talking about.. and i know you know, and are tired of hearing
it BUT WE ARE SO SCREWED, WHERE ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES??

Robert Suthers commented:
Bless the memories of all those that knew those who lost their lives in Libya. May their families have peace in knowing that they are the loving embrace of our Lord Jesus Christ. My God reigns supreme above all others. There is no other God but mine. He will smite those who defile him. He will put those false prophets into the burning pit of hell for all eternity. God is my King and I will defend him to the end of my days.
