Maradona and the Mullahs

DIEGO Maradona is stepping up his campaign against the world's superpower with the news he wants to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Maradona, an outspoken critic of George Bush, gave a signed shirt to an Iranian diplomat after a match in Buenos Aires on Saturday. The 47-year-old is an admirer of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and left-wing Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez "I've already met Fidel and Chavez, now I need to meet your president Ahmadinejad. I'm there with the people of Iran, really with all my heart," said Maradona.

Comment:

With all the negative media against Islam and Iran, non-Muslims can be forgiven for hating Islam and supporting American policies against Iran. Also Maradonna is to be commended for wanting to research and find out the Iranian viewpoint is and he is an example of millions of people looking for an alternative to Capitalism.
