The Pathology of the Tehran Times
Yesterday I suggested that given the outrage seen in the Muslim world it would be interesting to see the reaction to mosque attacks in Iraq, where Shiite and Sunni Muslims are blowing up one another's holy sites and killing one another.
The Tehran Times takes up this issue:
The serious crime of the terrorists who bombed the holy shrines of the tenth and eleventh Shia Imams, Imam Hadi (AS) and Imam Hassan Askari (AS), on Wednesday in Iraq was an insult to the sanctities of all Muslims.Yep, that's right, they're blaming the Danes. The mind reels. (Hat Tip Andrew Sullivan)Undoubtedly, it is a new plot which first of all can be considered as the continuation of the disrespectful move of the European newspapers that published cartoons of the Prophet of Islam.

It is rather amazing and unfortunate that this newspaper sees these violent acts for something so different from what they are. The Tehran Times should realize that by blaming the Danes, people will continue such attacks under false reasons. The Muslim community needs to work to stop these attacks and not just palm them off as an offshoot of another incident.
