AXIS OF ISLAM

In Tehran yesterday, the axis of evil convened in a celebration of bloodlust.

Pan-Islamic unity was on display yesterday at a government-sponsored think tank, where a tinny rendition of the anthem of the Islamic Republic of Iran kicked off a panel discussion grandly billed as a search for ways to counteract what it called ``Psychological Warfare Against the Islamic Resistance."

On a single podium at the Iranian president's Center for Strategic Studies sat representatives of Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, and Iran, the foursome that the United States and Israel portray as the culprits behind rising Islamist militancy.

The panelists, joined by the Lebanese ambassador, described their groups and countries as the last ones willing to stand up to US efforts to dominate their region. More at Bostom.com (hat tip MP)

Actually, Islamic education is on full display in the picture, with the event being billed as a "counter-estrategy" meeting on the poster behind the attendees, not a "counter-strategy" meeting. Maybe a better title for the event would have been "How to convince the world we aren't idiots".
