skhara Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4672037.stm The Iranian media has been alleging that the London bombings were planned by the West to justify attacking Islam in the name of combating terrorism. This is the first time newspaper editorials have commented on the London bombing because of a long weekend. Iranian officials began by expressing their shock and sympathy for what happened in London. But with time to reflect, many of Iran's newspapers have taken on an unusually hardline stance. Kayhan paper says Britain and the US had to create an atmosphere of terror and insecurity in London so that the G8 leaders would endorse their belligerent policies like the occupation of Iraq. The paper's editorial called President Bush "stupid" and said he and Tony Blair would make a very successful comedy duo. While the Jumhuri Islami newspaper says the bombs were planned to give the west a reason to attack Islam under the fictitious cover of combating terrorism. It said creating problems for Muslims in Europe was also part of the plan. The more moderate Iran News says Osama Bin Laden has support because many Muslims feel their religion, culture and civilisation have been dishonoured and humiliated by western policies in the Middle East.

Iran should look at itself before it accuses the west of corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skhara Posted July 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 There are many definitions of "the west". I somehow do not think they took the occidental definition. If that's the case, I don't think its so ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for you to consider it is absurd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 The only things more "stupid" than Bush are the Kayhan and the Jumhuri Islami. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
