Iran: "Islam Must Rule The World"

Why my liberal friends fail to see with clarity what the leaders of our enemies say openly and without reservation, is a mystery to me. Do they want to live under a totalitarian, religiously fanatic dictatorship? Or is it that they disbelieve the intentions of our enemies? Or perhaps it's all a question of willfully blinding ones self to reality in the desperate hope that it will all go away and that the age of aquariums will be upon us again?

Iran's President Ahmedinejad today (August 14, 2007) at the Iranian Embassy in Kabul:

"There is no truth on earth but monotheism and following tenets of Islam and there is no way for salvation of mankind but rule of Islam over mankind...the world is on verge of a great upheaval and the umma at this juncture shoulder a heavy responsibility that is introducing genuine Islam as it is....nations today have no haven but religion...all of us have the duty to resist the enemy by closing our ranks....Islam belongs to all generations and Muslims should get ready for the global mission of Islam."

Don't take my word for it, I admit that I am not entirely "open minded" because I've already made up my mind on the nature and seriousness of this threat. But at least, take the words of our enemies at face value. Is that too much to ask of my liberal friends?
