Iran Offers ‘Big Credit Line’ to Egypt in Hopes the Two Nations Can ‘Join Forces’

Irans Ahmadinejad Offers Big Credit Line to Egypt, Hopes the Two Nations Can Join Forces

(TheBlaze/AP) — Iran’s president on Wednesday offered to help rescue Egypt’s failing economy with a “big credit line,” another sign of improving relations between two regional powers after a freeze of more than three decades.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad made the proposal during the first trip to Egypt by an Iranian leader since 1979, just three days after the United States delivered a fresh batch of F-16 fighter jets to the Egyptian government.

Egypt’s President Morsi had no immediate reaction to Ahmadinejad’s offer, which was made in an interview with the state-run Al-Ahram daily.

“We can provide a big credit line to our Egyptian brothers,” Ahmadinejad told the paper. “If the two peoples cooperate and join forces, they can become an important element.”

Egypt and Iran have grown closer since President Mohammed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood took power in Egypt last summer after the ouster of longtime U.S. ally Hosni Mubarak. Facing crippling sanctions at home, though, it is unclear how much money Iran could spare for Egypt.

Ahmadinejad is currently attending an Islamic nations summit in Cairo, but arrived a day early for talks with Egyptian leaders.

His reception in Egypt has not been entirely welcoming, though warm enough at the top ranks of government to cause concern in the West. On Tuesday, for instance, he had to flee an ancient mosque in downtown Cairo after a protester took off his shoe and tried to throw it at him.

In the Al-Ahram interview, though, Ahmadinejad tried to downplay the concerns with a story of unity.

“For example, 40 people are sitting in a bus and they differ among themselves, but they are all heading to the same destination and to the same goal,” he said in a reference to Muslim world. “What is common among us is bigger than our differences.”

Iran has been an Islamic state since a bloody revolution in 1979. Political dissidents are regularly tortured and imprisoned, their young daughters sometimes raped before they are killed so, as virgins, they don’t go straight to paradise. Ahmadinejad frequently makes threats against Israel and the West.

Arming these zealots is soooo going to bite the US and its allies in the azz.

Obama has totally denigrated our traditional allies and armed our enemies at every turn.

@ NILAP God has shown love to women a lot in the bible. The woman caught in adultrey the men were there to accuse her and Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground and got up the men that accused this woman were gone. He asked her where are the accusers she said there gone he told her to go and sin no more. (He knew the men and the woman sins (and that woman could be any 1 of us with any sin.) If we turn to Jesus. Jesus was also good to the woman at the well he asked her for a drink told her her sins. He loves people he hates sin. We all can accept him or reject him now. But when the new world order wants you to take a mark on your hand or forehead you can’t buy or sell without it. The antichrist number will be 666.

  Meanwhile he strengthens his support of Assad, Hezbollah, and Hamas while striking up relations with Morsi. Five groups, all of whom oppose Israel, two of whom are actively trying to destroy Israel, all working together. Exactly where do you think this is leading? Hezbollah’s unconditional surrender? Hamas’ disbandment? Not likely.

  @Jerk
  So it’s the “duel-loyalties” accusation again? Well Jerk, you may be fortunate enough not to have friends and family living in Israel but that’s not true of all of us. And even among those that don’t know anyone living there you will find many who do have a personal interest in what happens to Israel. Who are you to tell us that we must choose to side with one of the other? We don’t perceive Israeli interests as being contrary to American ones and many would even say we share numerous common interests. You want to disagree go ahead but don’t call those of us who feel this way traitors.
  
  I support Israel because my own personal convictions demand that I do so. Those same convictions demand that I support America. That’s not duel-loyalty, that’s me consistent in where I place my support. You’re the duel-loyalist because you define your loyalty not based on principles by but which side of an invisible line you happen to live on.

Religion 1.0 is over. The old God/Prophet i.e. Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zoroaster etc way of God revealing Himself to man is over. The Prophets of God, all of them, man and woman have been imperfect and initiated teachings in their various Holy Books that are not of God. Muhammad is indeed the last Prophet and his transgressions the worst of all previous Prophets. NOT ONE, NOT ONE Prophet has ever taught that men and women have always been equal in the eyes of God and that monogamy, gay or straight is the only just form of marriage. No, the Prophets of God have been imperfect. They are like the Founding Fathers of the US Constitution and all of the Holy Books need Amendments. God in this day, in Religion 2.0, is revealing truth to ordinary folks and like the citizens of the US, must amend the past mistakes and untruths of the Prophets of God. Common sense and justice are the tools God has bestowed on all humanity.

  Sounds like your common sense is utterly jacked.
  
  Allow me to sum your statement up.
  
  “All dem other religions is a bunch a’ hogwash. Dey all failed my common sense test. So instead, yall come worship dis really cool god 2.0 I done made.
  
  “He ain’t a “he” since that would offend da’ women folk, and my god ain’t a “she” neither. Just call him it…. “It” approves of pretty much anything that my common sense tells me is ok. It ain’t judgemental, and you ain’t gotta worry about going to hell or nuthin’ as long as what you do is ok with your common sense.”
  
  “Yall see how easy it is to get long with “It”? We’ll all get to heaven in our own way…well as long as your common sense believes in that sorta thing…if it don’t then that’s ok too. Ya see, “It” even has a place for atheists too. Ain’t you all glad I done and created dis’ cool god for you?”

Lets see, AMERICAN F-16′s , M1A tanks, AMERICAN tech know how on the way to Egypt. How does the saying go- the enemy of my emeny is my friend? Both nations hate the US and Israel, Iran wants the 13th Imam to appear with more chaos. One more iron in the fire of the Middle East.

One has to wonder, where will Iran get “the big credit line” to give to Egypt? Thought they were broke?

Egypt can use new F-16′s for collateral to back up the Iranian loans. Then Iran’s air force won’t have to fly those undependable MIG’s that always get shot down in desert conflicts.

With a huge credit line from Iran, Egypt surely doesn’t need any more support from us. If Egypt is an ally of Iran, they are an enemy of the US, and there is no gray area there. There will likely be public rejection of the credit line, but full cooperation behind closed doors. As far as I am concerned, an islamic government equals an enemy of the US, and Egypt has already become an enemy. We keep trying to buy friends, but that is impossible. You can’t buy friends, you can only rent cooperation, and that is limited.

What Ahmadinejad is talking about when he said “What is common among us is bigger than our differences” is the goal of destruction of all religons and their followers (the infidels, which you ignorant and blinded liberals are a part of) except Islam, and world domination under Islamic law. Now that our FAKE IN CHIEF, Muslim president, has given them our most advance weapons, they’re stonger and more capable than ever before in accomplishing that which “they all have in common.”

Hey Morsi, do YOU feel USED yet ??? Or was this already planned before you received how many billions of dollars from the USA taxpayers and just three days after those F-16′s were delievered ?
Hey Barry….do YOU feel USED yet ??? Or was this already planned between you and your moslum friends ?
Now let’s go back to Barry’s memo about the drones and sending those drones after “people of question aiding al-qaeda”. At least the ACLU does NOT have to worry about those drones being
sent after a USA citizen since Barry’s status is still in question.

Every dime that goes to an Islamic country, supports the religion of Islam, and an F-16 has enough horse power to deliver a crude nuclear weapon, if one existed, much easier than trying to do so than with a missile? Have you lost your minds?

When was the last time somebody in the Middle East did not follow up on a threat? Go ahead, see if all your computers will work, that have Chinese firmware in them, after the “missing” small nuclear warhead plans that were stolen mysteriously appear again?

One little bomb you say, what could possibly go wrong? An EMP strike combined with massive firmware failures is a possible reason for the war on gun ownership, that has inspired Americans into buying guns and ammo they would not otherwise have needed?

Let’s keep sum of all those fears in the Hollywood studios, and not in real life?

  What are you talking about? If not for the Clintons the matter’s of the middle East would have been settled. THAT’S where the cost is coming from. Defending Israel’s right to exist in their historical homeland that was left to rot while they were gone has little to no cost if not for ‘chaos and crisis alinsky radicals” It’s HOW we got here !
  “The most powerful woman in America” Clinton? claims that sanctions are working, yet Iran is fronting credit to a brotherhood regime she funded, weaponized and openly praised.
  5 years ago Iraq and Israel were the heart of a Democratized middle East. Today they are surrounded with the Muslim brotherhood and terrorist States halfway across their hemisphere, crushing under the weight of — wait for it — Democrat/alinsky radicals buying chaos with American tax dollars. Something we always get accused of BUT- Now is actually true. What obama did- the Demcorats will be blaming other for tomorrow. That’s the historical pattern.

Another huge fact is that I love capitalism, and it’s the ones that you unconditionally defend who work so hard against it. How many capitalists do you see in this list? Then ask yourself, “Why?”

  @Jerk
  What a source! Did you find it all by yourself? Too bad it is missing a number of individuals. Why is Lieberman not on the list? He only retired within the past couple months. Was he not Liberal enough to be counted? Or was he, probably the only Jew serving on the Federal level who regularly attends a synagogue, too religious to be considered Jewish? Then of course there’s Judah Benjamin, a man so Liberal that, after serving as a Louisiana Senator, became Secretary of War for the Confederacy (and proposed an emancipation plan to allow blacks to gain freedom for army service).
  
  But of course, why bother making sure our facts are complete and accurate, right Jerk? After all, we found it on the internet and nothing on internet can be false. If wikipedia doesn’t say it it didn’t happen.
