Libyan ruler walking on razor’s edge

Tripoli, March 09: Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has warned embattled Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi against challenging the people, which Larijani likened to walking on a razor’s edge.

“Efforts by the United States and the West to stop the regional revolutions are because of the growing potentials of Muslim nations to (become further) united– a unity which is based on Islam and the fight against the [world] arrogance and Zionism,” (ICANA) quoted Larijani as saying on Wednesday.

“This is the reason that the West tries to dissuade Muslim nations from helping each other by sowing discord between them,” he added.

He noted that “unpopular moves” would pave the way for the West to take advantage of the opportunity and warned regional rulers that such approaches would not save them.

Larijani reiterated that the West is hatching nationalist plots to “pursue its own arrogant goals which are based on causing dissension between Muslims.”

The speaker voiced support of the Iranian nation and Majlis for people in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and Bahrain and all those who fight to reclaim their Islamic identity.
