New Phobia Diagnosed: 'Iranophobia'
Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 9:57:50 am PDT
By any measure, the nonexistent psychological condition dubbed “Islamophobia” has been a huge success for the radical Islamic front groups. It shows up regularly in editorials and commentary in the US, and in Europe the term has taken hold so well the EU is trying to punish those who suffer from it. We infidels certainly are eager to bathe in guilt, aren’t we?
So you can hardly blame Iran for trying to invent another new phobic mental disease: Iran says U.S. shows ‘Iranophobia’ over Iraq.
They’re just going with what works.
TEHRAN, April 20 (Reuters) - Iran accused U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of “Iranophobia” on Sunday for trying to blame Tehran for Iraq’s security problems.
Rice said last week she would press Iraq’s Arab neighbours at a meeting on Tuesday in Kuwait to do more to support Baghdad’s government and shield it from Iran’s “nefarious influences”. Iran, as a neighbour of Iraq, will also attend the gathering.
“Regarding Rice’s statements, these statements are not something new. American officials follow the policy of Iranophobia,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini told reporters in a weekly news conference.
