Iran's Chief Military Advisor, Safavi, States That Islam Is An Ideology Of Domination
January 10, 2012
January 10, 2011 - San Francisco, CA - In what was either a stunning admission or simply a case of expressing in public what is necessarily kept private, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, the Supreme Leader's Advisor For Military Affairs is claiming confidence that Islamic ideology will triumph worldwide over competing systems.
"We witnessed the jolt of the Communist economy and today we will definitely witness the shaking of the capitalist economy as well...We are confident that Islamic ideology will rule over the man in future..."[source, Leader's Aide Confident about Dominance of Islamic Ideology, http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9010170611]
Safavi's remarks clearly represent the thinking of Iran's Mullocracy, having been published today by the country's official news agency, Fars.
Critical observers of Islamism have continually asserted that the Islamic religion is far more than a simple belief system defining man's relationship with his Deity, but rather it constitutes a political/economic/military ideology which represents an existential threat to Western modes of governance and the non-Muslim world in general. Safavi's comments today are an admission that such is the case.
In another development, according to the same source, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader recently expressed hope that the Occupy Wall Street movement would topple U.S. capitalism.
