So, we're making this a war on Shia Islam and think a nation with 90% Shia Muslims are going to surrender and not fight to the death?

99.4% Muslim according to ... the Mullahs.

GAMAAN Survey estimates less than 40% actually “identify as muslim” whatever that means.

I’m pretty sure that if the nation of 93 million people had free and open elections. You would see a major change.
I sure as hell would not want my church leaders running the USA! They can barely govern themselves.

War is being made on a group of corrupt thugs who claim they are religious leaders. They have killed thousands of Iranians who want their freedom .

The war is on the theocracy, who happen to be Shia Muslim. Apparently something on the order of 95% of the population oppose the current regime. If the war were on Shia version of Islam, we would be bombing mosques and killing Imams and the lower order of Mullahs in Iran.

No, we don’t.

We know they won’t surrender, but it clears the way to bomb the sh!t out of them. At least they had$ a chance.

Now, I have seen different figures on the percentage of Iranians who are actually practicing Muslims, and some have placed it well below 50% Shia Muslim.

This may or may not be true. But like Afghanistan, a small minority of zealots manages to hold the greater number of less committed denizens in thrall, denying them the right to a free conscience in choosing most aspects of their lives.

Arm the Kurds and send them in.

That may be the biggest lie you have ever posted on Free Republic. Which is saying something.

But hey, Putin still has Burkina Faso as an ally. Just keep telling yourself that.

We still have Burkina Faso.
We still have Burkina Faso.
We still have Burkina Faso.
We still have Burkina Faso.

My understanding is that the mullahs have 10% hard core support and Nother10% sympathizers. Iran is a very diverse country . The irgc has abused all of them for decades

The nation with 90% Shia Muslims were doing just fine until 1979.
