Hurt Feelings in Persia
An Iranian official on Sunday lashed out at the Hollywood movie “300″ for insulting the Persian civilization, local Fars News Agency reported.
Javad Shamqadri, an art advisor to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, accused the new movie of being “part of a comprehensive U.S. psychological [sic] war aimed at Iranian culture”, said the report.
Shamqadri was quoted as saying “following the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Hollywood and cultural authorities in the U.S. initiated studies to figure out how to attack Iranian culture,” adding “certainly, the recent movie is a product of such studies.”
Yes, by telling a story that occured a hot millenium before the Prophet was born.
Just another battleground in our “comprehensive psychological war.”
