The "Arab Spring" touches "The 99%"

Well, it's settled. The Occupy Wall Street protests and all their offshoots are a result of the Islamic awakening running rampant across the globe.

So says Iran.

Islamic Awakening Has Reached Americans

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Hamid Reza Taraqqi, international affairs deputy of the Islamic Coalition Party added that the Islamic Awakening movement changed the mind of American and European people, making them aware of the real roots of economic and political crises in the west.

He referred to the “Occupy Wall Street” movement and said in the wake of the recent developments in the Middle East, people in the US realized that the world’s economic problems originate from injustices done by economic cartels and big corporations.

Islam emphasizes that people’s money should not be in the hands of a few wealthy and based on a Hadith by Imam Reza (AS), one of the signs of anti-Divine governments is accumulation of people’s wealth in the hands of a few, Mr. Taraqqi noted, adding this is happening in the West where the wealth of the majority is in the hands of a minority.

He said when western nations saw how the Islamic awakening rid nations in the Middle East of their tyrant governments, they, too, decided to uproot the main reason behind their problems and troubles.

Taraqqi also highlighted the role of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in disclosing the nature of western governments and their dependence on Zionism and big corporations.

Of course, the Jews did it.
