From pictures I have seen of the new Iranian leader and the hostage taker the hostages are claiming is him, they are not the same person.

Kill em all, let God, Allah, Mohammad, Buddha, Wicked Witch from the North sort em out. Had to be politically correct.

No way they are the same person.

Showing yet again the stunning idiocy of naive liberal internationalists who frequently assert (devoid of any evidence) that allowing Muslims to emigrate to or visit the west somehow breeds tolerance and understanding. Many of the worst Islamo-fascist fanatics have had extensive first-hand experience of the US and/or Europe. We have helped our worst enemies to know us better, infiltrate us better, etc. Spending time in our countries, learning the language(s) and culture, etc. just helps many Muslims react in revulsion to western materialism, pop culture, etc. Mohammed Atta and his ilk are not liberalized by their immersion in western culture - quite the opposite many times.....
