I've Been Thinking:

The Iranian press is expressing views on the Muslim riots in France.

The popular daily Jomhouri Islami made it very clear in an editorial:
"every car that is set on fire and every shop that is damaged in the uprisings in Paris and other cities is a reflection of the injustice that the residents of the Elysees Palace have inflicted on the impoverished and oppressed people of France."

Hamid-Reza Asefi, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesman, called the police violent and said "we hope that the French government would respect the rights of people there and pay attention to their demands in a peaceful way, so that they would not continue to witness the violation of citizens' rights in that country."

The Iranians truly have a warped sense of reality.
It is the Muslim youths who are burning and destroying and threatening the security and safety of the French people.
Who is Iran to talk about violating rights?
Iran is one of the greatest abusers of human rights in the world today.
