No shit. According to Iran’s parliamentary speaker-cum-chairman Ali Larijani, America and her allies are attempting to propagate a perverted image of Islam in the Middle East. Quoted in the Tehran Times, he claims the deep-rooted divisions between the differing Islamic schools of thought in the region have been forged by foreign intelligence services.
Known for his philosophical outlook, Larijani added that it’s the responsibility of each Islamic sect to “make every effort not to fall into the U.S.-Zionist trap” of portraying Islam as a terrorist-supporting religion. The worrying thing is, he may have a point . . . .
