Video: "There isn't any kind of resistance in Iraq - these are terrorist acts under the guise of patriotism"

You will not be hearing about this on your local news broadcast. Don't expect to read about it in your local paper either. Why? Because it is proof that democracy is spreading in Iraq. It is proof that Iraq has a bright future ahead of them.

"Iraqi Politician Iyad Jamal Al-Din: The Arabs Want Tyrannical Regimes, in Line with Their Backward Culture"

You can watch the video Here.

The following are excerpts from an interview with Iraqi politician Iyad Jamal Al-Din, which aired on LBC TV on July 31, 2005.

Al-Din: "The Arab governments should support the Iraqi government, which was legally elected. I think this is the only government in our Arab region that was formed following free and fair elections. The Arabs must stop meddling in Iraq's affairs, and stop inciting to hatred, violence, and terrorism. They should not call these terrorist attacks "resistance." There isn't any kind of resistance in Iraq - these are terrorist acts under the guise of patriotism and of claims about defeating the occupation. They have nothing to do with the Americans or others. They are scum, remnants of the previous corrupt regime. They attracted all the Arab terrorists, this riffraff, which entered Iraq to kill according to ethnicity. They kill the Shiites in public. We have not heard a single Arab jurisprudent condemn the terrorist attacks that target Shiites."

[...]

Al-Din: "We are killed because of our identity. They kill Shiites because of their identity, and the killers are the dirtiest type of riffraff among the Arabs. Nevertheless, we have heard no condemnation of Al-Zarqawi or his followers. If we were English or Americans, you would see the court jurisprudents of the Arab regimes and all the Arab governments who stand behind them convene thousands of summits to condemn terrorism. But they remain quiet about what happens in Iraq. Moreover, we saw the president of a large Arab state say: "We call for national reconciliation," as though there is a real problem among the Iraqi people. There is no problem. There is the tyrannical Saddan Hussein regime, which is the only real and legitimate heir to the Arab and Islamic civilization. This corrupt regime - which has been toppled, and on whose ruins, a democratic and modern Iraqi state will be established - is not what the Arabs like. The Arabs want tyrannical regimes, in line with their backward culture. If we were English or Americans, you would see how the Arabs would raise an outcry over every casualty. Today, dozens of children and people queuing in front of bakeries are killed, and we hear no condemnation from any jurisprudent, quasi-jurisprudent, or from any government."

[...]

Al-Din: "The terrified and self-defeated Arab states, who fear the establishment of a democratic regime in Iraq, would prefer a stupid and reckless dictator like Saddam to a democratic regime in Iraq, because the epidemic of democracy and the winds of freedom will reach them, whether they like it or not."

[...]

Al-Din: "Arab countries, especially those bordering with Iraq, can do a lot. We know that Saudi Arabia is also afflicted by terrorism. Many Arab countries are also afflicted by terrorism. But they are both the victim and the hangman at the same time. I was surprised when the crime in Sharm Al-Sheik occurred, those terrorist attacks. I followed the events on one of the Egyptian channels, and saw Egyptian intellectuals publicly justify terrorism, although the crime took place in their own country, and they were its victims. They said that this was the result of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the outcome of the situation in Iraq - as if we have nothing to do with terrorism and the culture of hatred. We produce terrorism."

Here's an Iraqi politician who gets it. He understands where the terrorist are bred, who supports them and how evil they are. He knows the middle east must change. He supports democracy.

Democracy is beginning to find a home in Iraq. The liberal, anti-American, Bush bashing MSM just doesn't want you to know.

Wow, that guy was impressive - told them all off.

[Jay]

PS: Anybody know what position this guy holds? MP or something?

[Trey]

Jay-

I did a little searching and everything I find describes him as "political activist and Islamic scholar ". I'm not too sure if he holds any position currently. I believe he is running in the next Iraqi elections. I'll let you know if/when I find more.

Best-

Refreshing nonetheless.

The Ummah needs millions more who share his sentiments and are brave enough to act upon them to lift themselves out of their cultural collision course with nuclear nihilism.

We'll all lose something otherwise, only they will lose everything.

"The Arabs Want Tyrannical Regimes, in Line with Their Backward Culture"

As a Shia and probably a Persian, he is in line with thousands of years of Persian thought which regards Arabs as barbaric fanatics. I can't find the link at the moment, but when the illiterate Arab armies were pouring out of the Arabian Peninsulla and invading Persia, the Persian king, Yazdegerd, wrote a letter to one of the Arab 'diplomats' that said something to the effect of "Aren't you the same people who eat lizards and bury your own children alive?".

Persian high culture is and was very rich while the Arabs were simply illiterate oafs.

That's why, even with the current Iranian regime, I have more hope for a true, pluralistic democracy in a Shia majority country than Sunni.
