The Religion of Pieces

CLICK ME, I'M NUCLEAR

Text of commentary by Mehdi Mohammadi under the headline:

"In preparation for justification"

published by Iranian newspaper Keyhan website on 17 July

"Making efforts to make up for a political debacle through the vehicle of media noise and hype" is the best description that one can give to the behaviour of the Americans vis--vis the Iranian nuclear programmes in the last two weeks or so. In the eyes of the Iranians, America has always been a country without any credibility and reputation. However, right now, it can be said that America is facing a crisis of unprecedented and constantly worsening lack of credibility in the eyes of the other countries too, especially those which once upon a time used to view it as a model and blueprint.

The letter that Javier Solana unofficially brought to Iran recently contained a blatant retreat from the official and declared stance of the Western world, including of course America, about the necessity for Iran agreeing to suspend its uranium enrichment as a precondition for the start of any kind of negotiations. In their letter, the Western sides had written that in order to enter into the preliminary stages of negotiations, they would be seeking nothing more than a degree of flexibility from Iran in relation to the installation of its centrifuge machinery. Of course, shortly afterwards, in his verbal exchanges with the Iranian officials, Solana went even further than the content of the said letter, and officially declared to the Iranian authorities that the West would not be demanding any kind of suspension [in the Iranian nuclear programmes] as a precondition for progress in the talks.

Right now, and at a time when the Iranian delegation is travelling to Geneva to start comprehensive and multi-faceted talks without there being any formula about the suspension of the uranium enrichment process, the Americans are clearly looking for a diversionary path in order to cover up, at least partly, their loss of face as a result of having to agree to the removal of any precondition for start of the talks. In particular, they are trying very hard to prevent the line of analysis that the reason for the West's retreat from its insistence on the precondition of suspension [of uranium enrichment] was to do with the unique and unparalleled resistance and steadfastness of the Iranians, and the Western world's inability to undermine and weaken that steel resolve.

The Religion of Pieces

western mentality!!
awake from your bed
arise from your slumber
they want you all dead

western compassion
realize your demise
they'll carve out your eyeballs
they'll swarm you like flies

tolerant westerner
liberal mind
look under the mosques
and see what you find

moderate muslims
possessed of fair mind
what's suddenly struck you
so deaf dumb and blind?

the religion of peace?
oxymoron defined.

the religion of pieces,
the mullahs opine.

America! Australia! European and Jew!
you must do unto others as they do to you.

hold on to your hats
prepare for the worst

for "If one comes to slay you, you must slay him first." (Brachot, 58 )
