Merry Christmas, "bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers"

Britain's Channel 4 has invited Iranian terrorist in chief Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to give the 'alternative counterpoint' to the Queen's annual Christmas message (picture courtesy of Gateway Pundit).

In his recorded message, Ahmadinejad offers seasonal greetings to Christians and says he believes that if Jesus was alive, he would "stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers," an apparent reference to the United States and its allies.

According to a transcript of the broadcast released in advance, Ahmadinejad says most of the world's problems stem from leaders who have turned against religion. He doesn't refer to rival nations or leaders by name or raise the issue of Israel, despite his previous calls for the removal of the Jewish state.

"If Christ was on earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over," Ahmadinejad said, according to the text.

And why did Channel 4 - which has chosen the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sharon Osborne and the animated TV character Marge Simpson of The Simpsons in the past - choose Ahmadinejad?

Dorothy Byrne, head of news and current affairs at Channel 4, said Ahmadinejad had been selected because relations between Iran and the West are likely to be a key global issue in 2009.

"As the leader of one of the most powerful states in the Middle East, President Ahmadinejad's views are enormously influential. As we approach a critical time in international relations, we are offering our viewers an insight into an alternative world view," Byrne said in a statement.

These multi-culti dhimmis just won't get it until a nuclear missile hits them in their rear ends.
