Jane Novak's blog about Yemen

Iranian Mullah

Filed under: Yemen — by Jane Novak at 4:58 am on Thursday, May 19, 2005

I never thought I would agree with an Iranian Mullah but I have to agree with this:

Montazeri, one of Iran’s highest ranking theologians, believes “the new wave of attacks against the Shiite minority in Yemen is a consequence of the increased presence of Wahabis in the leadership of the country.” ——— The (Yemeni) Shiite rebels are not linked to al-Qaeda however, as they are reported to detest al-Qaeda more than they hate the Yemeni state.

It sounds more legit coming from Sistani: ‘brutal massacres’ by the (Yemeni) Government and a ‘sort of genocide of the Shia’a’.

That’s okay, we’ll forgive you. If you start agreeing with Michael Moore, well….

Personally I’m shocked with myself but their statement is correct. But Stefie is right, the Ayatollahs denouncing Saleh is the pot calling the kettle black. And no
Eric, I’m not going over to the dark side.
