TEHRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday blamed a lack of attention to religion and God for the crisis in global financial markets.
"Their economy is collapsing... the reason for their defeat is that they have abandoned faith in God and piety," Ahmadinejad said in a televised speech in the northeastern city of Bojnurd. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2008\10\09\story_9-10-2008_pg4_15
