I’ve checked your page out and bookmarked it. Very interesting stuff there, though it probably requires some background on Iranian history and culture to understand. My studies concentrated on ancient iran and india so I have a little depth there; what I know of “modern” iran, however, is mostly through that and what several expatriate friends have told me. I’ve always been very interested in knowing more about Khomeini’s history.
Anyway, stuff like this is very important for people to know in the coming years. The dangers of a nuclear Iran under the current leadership are terrifying. But the possibility of rapproachment with the population of Iran holds promise. There was some chance, I thought, under President Rafsanjani, but it never materialized, or maybe it was a pipedream anyway. I have not heard anything about him in a couple years. I remember reading that Carter had the opportunity to work out a deal with Rafsanjani—who I believe at that time was a member of the non-clerical portion of the legislature; that might have prevented Khomeini from taking over. I could be all wrong though.
The material on the death of Mussa Sadr is also interesting and important as it sets out the “secret” history of the Ayatollahs’ ambitions to expand outside of Iran. Keep up the good work.
Rafsanjani, a low level cleric and pistachio orchard owner who had hundreds assassinated all around the world was president before Khatami.
So many Iran names are similar - Khomeini, Khatami, Khamenei, I have to stop and think myself so realize how much harder it is for others.
You may not have noticed but the AntiMullah site has seven sub-blogs with links in the left hand margin column. The intention is to try to spread articles out so that they do not bury one another and some like Terror News are definitely subject specific.
http://terrornewsbriefs.blogspot.com/
currently has a very long extended Conflict & Terror post
People visit from all over the world and some spend OVER TWO HOURS browsing around some 1,000 pages a day. Normal Internet visits are good if they last ONE OR TWO MINUTES.
AntiMullah tries to post new articles daily in many if not all the sub-blogs and receives information from many sources - including exclusive ones both inside and outside Iran.
Bookmarking for daily visits would be a great idea if you wish to keep up with Middle East matters and a slant against the dangerous liberal politicians like Obama, Clinton, Reid, Pelosi etc., who put our country in danger with opinions similar to Jimmuh, the Idiot, Carter.
He has a right to those but should also consider what is best for our country and people, not just his whacky mindsets and Marxist views.
The site tends to speak its mind with focused opinions and has run into the Mullahs trying to obstruct it with very little success since it is hard to hack into Google.
Feel free to share the site with anyone you think would benefit. I try to do this for FReepers.
