Anniversary of Khomeini's Death Engenders Hyperbole and Gush on Shia TV

These hyper-effusive statements should, in turn, engender guffaws and chuckles:

• "The greatest leader of contemporary times. The father of the Islamic revolution."
• "Practically bidding the good & Forbidding the evil."
• Revived the pure Muhammadan Islam; exposed the American brand of Islam."
• "Pure Muhammadan Islam: religion and politics are inseparable; American brand of Islam: Islam has nothing to do with politics.

American Islam has nothing to do with politics? Clearly, the Khomeinists haven't been paying attention to what's been happening in Barack Obama's America lately.
