Islamic Revolution Leader says U.S., Zionists main conspirators of sacrilege

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Sunday expressed abhorrence at desecration of Holy Quran in the U.S. and said that the U.S. government must punish those responsible for the great crime to prove its innocence.

The Islamic Revolution Leader said in a message to the Iranian nation and the entire Islamic Ummah that the Zionist circles within the US administration are the main conspirators of the sacrilege The following is the full text of the statement:

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Surely We have revealed the Reminder, and surely We are its Guardian. [The Holy Quran, 15:9]

Dear Iranian nation, Great Islamic Ummah,

The insane, hateful, and disgusting insult to the Holy Quran in the United States which took place under police protection is a bitter and important event which cannot be considered as only an insane move by a number of worthless mercenaries. This is a calculated move by centers which have pursued the policy of Islamophobia and anti-Islamism for many years. And they have fought against Islam and the Holy Quran by using hundreds of methods and thousands of propaganda and operational tools. This is another link in the disgraceful chain that was formed by the treachery of the apostate Salman Rushdie and was continued by the hundreds of anti-Islam Hollywood movies and the move by the wicked Danish caricaturist. These moves have now led to this hateful theatre. Who and what is behind these evil moves?

this evil process - which was accompanied during the recent years by criminal operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, and Pakistan - leaves no doubt about the fact that the process is planned and controlled by the heads of the domineering powers and Zionist think tanks which wield the greatest influence on the US government, its military and security organizations, the British government and some European governments. They are the same people whom independent and truth-seeking research is increasingly pointing the finger to at being the main culprits of the events of September 11. That event provided the criminal then-US President with a pretext to attack Iraq and Afghanistan and he declared a crusade. The same person announced yesterday - according to reports - that this crusade has now become complete with the entry into it of churches.

The Quran Burner Unaware of It’s Speaking on Mary, Jesus, Noah and other Biblical Figures

Leonard Kniffel’s eyes welled up when he heard his own Catholic faith represented as Kiran Ansari read on Saturday from the Quran about the angel Gabriel’s visit to Mary.

“The angel said, ‘I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son,’” Ansari, the interim executive director of the Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago, read to about 20 people in downtown Chicago.

The gathering, hosted by the American Library Association at its headquarters on East Huron Street, was held in response to what had been a Florida pastor’s plans to burn copies of the Quran on Saturday night before he announced earlier in the day that he had changed his mind.

The reading instead turned into a celebration of books and the connections people can find in them.

for instance, Kniffel, editor of American Libraries magazine, said that as a Catholic, he couldn’t help but choke up when Ansari mentioned Mary, calling his tears “automatic.”

Ahmadinejad urges Muslim nations to unite

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for unity among Muslim countries, highlighting the need for vigilance against Zionist regime's plots.

Ahmadinejad made the remarks in a meeting with Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa on Tuesday on the sidelines of his US visit to attend UN General Assembly's annual session in New York.

Amr Moussa, in his turn, called Iran as one of the powerhouses of the Middle East and said, “Iran is a brotherly country for all the Muslim states and the Arab League is keen on bolstering ties with it.”

Ahmadinejad said despite the fact that Iran agreed to conduct a nuclear fuel swap in a third country, the UN Security Council passed a resolution imposing new sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

UK journalist backs inquiry into 9/11 attacks

Muslim convert and journalist Yvonne Ridley supported an independent inquiry into the events of 9/11, saying that there is a “growing movement of people in America who are dissatisfied with the official narrative.”

Ahlul Bayt News Agency ; I hate conspiracy theories but it has to be said 9/11 turned out to be an opportunity or a blessing in disguise for the Bush Administration as it attempted to pursue its imperialistic ambitions in Afghanistan and Iraq,” Ridley said.

“There should be an independent inquiry to find out exactly who knew what in advance of 9/11 happening,” she said after the issue was raised at the UN General Assembly by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
