Huffington Post
18-Jan-2009 (one comment)

Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said during Friday prayers :"One is shocked when a president (Obama) sits, smiles and says 'my concern is to find a dog for my daughter.' Shame on you and those who voted for you,....Shame on the Islamic countries, that have neither any faith, nor any bravery, nor any manhood, nor the required legitimacy and popularity among their nations."

Jannati is the head of the powerful hardline Iranian Council of Guardians....hand-picked by Iran's top leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for his position and is seen by the reformist camp as one of the biggest opponents of democratic reforms in Iran. His council disqualified thousands of reformist candidates during parliamentary elections.

Jannati

Interestingly Jannati says shame on everyone but he seems not to consider that there is a possibility of a hint in the Arab refusal to come to the aid of Hamas.  Sympathy was widely expressed for the Palestinians, but with the exception of a few extremist statements, I really didn't here anyone attempt to legitimize or express sympathy for Hamas.  Could that have been the subtle hint in the silence of other Arab nations?  But why the silence from Ahmajinedad?
