Insanity...
I'm just waiting for the mullahs and and Abominationnejad to call Daylight Savings Time a Zionist plot, along with cells phone, e-mail, instant messaging, the Windows NT operating system, the Intel Centrino processor, and any other modern technology (examples given are the result of Israeli R&D). Maybe Iran can be assisted to go back to the 7th century. Then again maybe the dissidents can throw off the yoke. Ganji is out of prison! And attempts to silence him are for naught.
Don't they have someone screeching the call to prayer from a minaret's PA system?
Yes, it's insane. However, I do want them to get their time correct, so when we decide it's time to pop the tarts over there, we can hit all the mosques at 5 am and GET the "faithful" who have ruined the middle east and will not be satisfied until they ruin the world.
Maybe I'm being cynical, but the 5 am prayers probably contain a much greater percentage of the "faithful" than later prayers. Most reasonable people are not morning people. Fanatics are out early and late.
It's easy to tell when it's time to pray. It's the only time of the day when no one has a bomb strapped to them.
Ganji's out? w00t!
“Please … Call Me an Iranian, Not a Moslem!”

"Daylight savings banned"
In this the Iranians have more sense than our money-driven legislators.
Come on man that's easy stuff. These psychotics execute people for printing weather predictions -- it's "sorcery". And kites are evil for some reason as well.
