Iran to charge 3 American hikers with espionage, says prosecutor - CNN.com

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:26:50 -0800

Oh yeah, they are spies, definitely *scoff*... The Iranian government is led by idiots, of which I've never had any doubt, except this issue has amplified that idiocy 500%! We all know how much their government loves to take hostages. It makes them feel like they have something to use as pawns on their little chess boards.

Give them back! They just wanted to have some fun (albeit in the most unsafe area of the world to do it in).

BBC NEWS | Europe | Bashir cancels visit to Istanbul

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:44:28 -0800

With comments like this, the Turkish PM may as well kiss EU membership goodbye:

"Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan questioned the charges against Mr Bashir and said that "no Muslim could perpetrate a genocide", according to Turkey's Anatolia news agency." -Oh yeah, because all muslims are innocent, and so is Osama bin Laden. *sarcasm*

This also indirectly comments on allegations that Ottoman Turks committed genocide against Armenians. Again, comments like this are NOT helpful to anyone.

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Ahmadinejads theological foes

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:14:51 -0800

I wonder what Iran would be like had Islam not invaded the country; that Zoroastrianism would've been the dominant religion. The Iranians lost allot of their original culture, just as Europe did with the invasion of Christianity.

"Because state and religion are presented as one and the same in the Islamic Republic, the sins of the state are tarnishing religion's reputation.

The problem has been growing for a while now; opposition journalists say all sorts of social ills, from drug addiction and prostitution to unemployment, are blamed on religion.

But with the election it has acquired a new dimension. Professor Ali Ansari of the Institute of Iranian Studies at St Andrew's University says that people were especially badly shaken by the fact that the violent post-election crackdown was carried out "in the name of Islam".

He cites the case of a minister's daughter who stopped praying because she was so shocked by what she had seen.

To many clergy it looks as if the actions taken by the president of the Islamic Republic are undermining support for the very religion the Republic was meant to serve. "

Muslims Discovered America Before Columbus

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:55:27 -0700

This is ridiculous, especially given the fact that Native Americans weren't Muslims when Columbus did come (which given the Muslim's ferocious tendencies toward converting everyone they ran into, they would have been Muslims when Columbus found them).

BBC NEWS | Middle East | UN hopes for Iran nuclear accord

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:39:58 -0700

"The BBC's Bethany Bell in Vienna, where the IAEA is based, says Iranian media reports suggest Tehran may not want to ship out all its enriched uranium in one go - a condition Russia, France and the United States may not want to accept."

Duh, Iran...if you don't ship out all of your uranium to be processed at one time it would mean you are keeping some of it behind...to do what with? Enrich further? And what kind of phased shipping of your uranium are you wanting? Would the timetable be long enough to build a weapon with whatever uranium you've withheld in accordance with that timeline? Do you think we're really that stupid?
