Crazy Iranian group sending suicide attackers against Israel and Rushdie

Although the Committee for the Glorification of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement is not sanctioned by the Iranian government, the group, according to AFP, does appear at Islamic Republic events.

As with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization, the Committee for the Glorification of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Movement has a large agenda.

From AFP:

A hardline Iranian group announced the creation of a new "battalion" of "martyrdom seekers" -- or suicide attackers -- ready to carry out operations against targets including Israel and author Salman Rushdie.

When volunteers sign up to join the group, they can choose to attack British author Salman Rushdie, who sentenced to death by Iran's revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989 over his book "The Satanic Verses," or join an operation against Israel or foreign invaders.

"I want to defend Islam, so I signed up for all three," enthused one volunteer, 27-year-old Meghdad Hamedinia. "All the American presidents are rascals. I'll give my life for Islam."

Of the volunteers, 30 percent are women, according to the same article.

These registration rallies must be interesting. Do they have tables with banners above each? Death to Israel on the left, Death to Rushdie in the middle, and Death to America on the right?
