because to me it sounds like something off of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Similar deal here. I know someone who fled Iran with her family in ‘79. She was a college leftist who marched in the streets with the Islamic protesters against the Shah. Her father was a senior bureaucrat in the Shah’s oil ministry and would have been in great danger if the Ayatollah took over. When it looked inevitable that that would happen, he took his wife and daughters to the United States.
Before the fall, and before they were forced to flee, she said it was exhilarating to be in the streets shoulder to shoulder with the Islamics, especially in the early days of the protests. Like most leftists, she considered the Shah an illegitimate puppet and hated him. But as time went by and the Islamics sensed that they would prevail, their attitude towards their leftist comrades, who tended to be secular and liberal, changed. In particular, they would threaten and beat the females for not wearing Islamic coverings. This person I know was never beaten but had friends who were, and it terrified her.
Shortly thereafter her father shepherded her out of the country and she started a new life in America. But she remained a committed leftist and never expressed any regrets about the fall of the Shah and her participation in the student movement that helped make that happen.
It’s remarkable how leftists are on constant alert about looming “theocracy” in America, yet they have unbounded indulgence for the actual very violent and oppressive theocracies of the Muslim world.

The never-ending war of Islam against everyone else must be recognized by the people all through the government and by the population as a whole. Moslems cannot be trusted in any sort of negotiations except frpm position of knowledgeable power.Moslems, as well as Chinese, shoud be not employed in tech or defense indusries- the Chinese because they have strings on them that are held in China. The Moslems because they as a religion and as individuals and countries are at war with us and want only our destruction or conversion to Islam. They can be dealt with as friends in cerain power arrangements only.

Appoint a new leader in Iran so Israel can turn him into a ceiling treatment.
