Tale of Two Protests: Mecca and Tehran……..
“Iranian pilgrims chanted slogans against the Zionist regime and America in a peaceful protest during the hajj on Thursday as millions of Muslims amassed for the peak of the world's largest annual pilgrimage. Ignoring Saudi warnings against political activity, the Iranians chanted for Muslim unity and against the "enemies" of the faith in their camp at Arafat outside of Mecca. "Death to America, death to Israel," thousands of Iranians chanted inside a huge tent on the Arafat plain. No Saudi security forces were evident as Ayatollah Muhammed Rishari, the representative of Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, addressed the Iranian delegation………..”
That was in the land of one theocracy. Meanwhile in Tehran, many protesters chanted “Out with the theocracy…….”
