Algerian Culture Minister lauds Iran's services to Islam

"The Algerian minister further hoped that the event would help open a new chapter in Tehran-Algiers bilateral ties." Iran solidifies its ties to a Sunni state. "Algerian minister lauds Iran's services to Islam," from IRNA (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):

Algerian Culture Minister Khalida Toumi said that the Iranians have rendered great services to the Islamic culture and civilization.

She made the remarks while addressing the inaugural ceremony of Iran's Cultural Week.

Such Iranian services are great honor for all Arab states and Muslim nations throughout the globe, she added.

She further praised Iranian culture and civilization particularly during the post-Islam era.

On Iran-Algeria bilateral cooperation, she said the two countries' leaders are seriously determined to further boost all-out ties, particularly in the area of culture.

Expansion of cultural relations between the two states would help boost bilateral ties in other fields, Ms Toumi added.

She said holding Iran's Cultural Week is a good opportunity for the Algerian people to become familiar with the Iranian culture and civilization.

The Algerian minister further hoped that the event would help open a new chapter in Tehran-Algiers bilateral ties.

Iranian culture and civilization? She's gotta be kidding!

We should start a gradual disengagement from that part of the world. The lack of diplomatic relations with Iran should have only been a start. There is nothing in our Constitution that says we have to engage and humor irrational peoples for eternity in order to maintain...what? I don't know. Trade?

That's my manifesto, and I wish Robert or Hugh would touch on this matter. Why do we even bother with people who are so backwards?

I do hope that she remember to wear her burqa for this speach, or she might have insulted the Mad Mullahs by mistake.

Great cover for an excuse to troll Mental Wards for Volunteers.

...Iran's Cultural Week is a good opportunity for the Algerian people to become familiar with the Iranian culture...
Political correctness and moral relativism teaches that all "cultures" are valid and equally important. I agree; I've found a "culture" that could be compared with Islamic culture. It's the bacteria "culture" that's growing at the bottom of my garbage can. The green slime is spreading slowly and steadily, invading all the areas that were previously unaffected. If nothing is done, soon the entire garbage can will be covered in the stuff. Posted by: Xero G [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 6:34 PM

"She further praised Iranian culture and civilization particularly during the post-Islam era."

I think it would be great during the *post* islam era. A secular government, a Persian culture with human rights and democracy from the west. Looking forward to it...
