Bruce http://www.irna.ir/en/news/view/line-16/0610069370134531.htm West sets complicated plots to destroy Islam: cleric That's for a long time that the West has been preparing complicated and deliberate plans to destroy Islam, said Tehran's Substitute Friday prayers Leader Ayatollah Mohammad Imami-Kashani. Addressing worshipers at Tehran University campus, the cleric said the Islamic world is currently facing a situation where the world arrogance, West in particular, has set different plans to distort the image of Islam among the world nations. "It a long time that West has been planning to damage Islam at any possible way and disperse Muslims," he added. Referring to the recent Islamophobic remarks of the Pope Benedict XVI, the ayatollah said such comments would be harmful for believers of both faiths of Islam and Christianity. "Making anti-Islam remarks by the top politicians of the world arrogance is not new but it was the first time that a prominent religious leader was making such comments willingly or unwillingly and consciously or unconsciously," announced the cleric. He stressed "Peace is the message of both Christianity and Islam." As for West's propaganda against Iran's peaceful nuclear programs, the cleric said that they (Western officials) wanted to deprive Muslims from scientific success. He urged world Muslims to be vigilant and foil all plots of the enemies. In an address to the staff and students of University of Regensburg, while the pontiff was on a visit to his birthplace in Bavaria, Germany, recently, the pope made insulting remarks about Islam, its Holy Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and some of its religious rituals quoting a 14th century Christian emperor. In his remarks, Pope Benedict XVI implicitly linked Islam to violence. Pope Benedict then said he was "deeply sorry" over any hurt caused by his comments made in a speech last week, in which he quoted a medieval text. This provoked outrage around the Islamic world, giving rise to protests and prompting widespread calls for an apology. Benedict said the remarks came from a text that did not reflect his own opinion, but he did not retract what he said or say he was sorry he uttered what proved to be explosive words.
