Former Dem Alaska Senator Mike Gravel Asks US to Respect Ayatollah Khamenei as Shiite World's Influential Leader. (Fars).A former US senator cautioned Washington and the West to change their attitude towards Iran and show respect for its leader, saying that Shiism with Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei as its influential global leader does not deserve such treatment.
The remarks were made by former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel in an interview with America's Foreign Policy magazine on February 22. "The sanctions are illegal. There's nothing that I see that Iran has done that warrants the sanctions against them. If you want to sanction somebody, do it to Saudi Arabia who has funded the madrasas with Wahhabism, hatred of the gentiles. That's not the approach of the Shiite. The Shiite is the more benign wing of the Islamic world, and the Ayatollah Khamenei, the imam, is the, literally the pope of all the Shiites in the world," Mike Gravel told the American Foreign Policy magazine.
He noted that the sanctions should not have been imposed on Iran in the first place, and said the US should take political lesson from Iran and the country's leader.
Meantime, Gravel who attended a conference in Tehran last month, which was organized by Iran and titled Hollywoodism, strongly criticized the Hollywood's anti-Iran movie Argo. He like many other participants of the conference argued that Argo promotes anti-Iran and anti-Islam sentiments. Hmmmm.....Indeed unlike good wine, democrats don't improve with age.Read the full story here.
