As delightful as ever.

Via MEMRI:

In a recent address, Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi, a member of the Iranian Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution said that the Westerners are “barbaric people, real animals, who speak only with force and understand nothing but the language of force.” He further said: “They are criminals. You have to talk to criminals in a language they understand.” The address was broadcast on Iran’s Channel 1 on April 3, 2014.

Following are excerpts:

Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi: We should not say to the U.S., Israel, England, and I don’t know where: “You slapped us on one cheek, so we will turn the other cheek. If you take half of our country, we will give you the other half. You humiliated these guys, so come and humiliate those ones.” This is not the way to talk. Our talk must be with honor and Jihad. We must be steadfast.

There are some enemies with whom you cannot reason. They do not understand the meaning of the words “brother” or “sister.” These are barbaric people, real animals, who speak only with force and understand nothing but the language of force.

You can try to reason with them for a thousand hours, and they will not care. So go ahead and ask them for something. Preach to them. They are criminals. You have to talk to criminals in a language they understand.
