The “men” will be wearing body armor and scimitars, cutting protestors down from speeding cycles.

Where’s Bono of U2. Isn’t this kind of uprising right up his alley?

‘by Really Bad Guys.’


You’re probably speaking about ISIS, but at least ISIS didn’t have the means to blow up the world in a nuclear confrontation. They were also not working with North Korea in a dance of destruction. ISIS is intent upon conquering the entire world for Sunni Islam, but the Mullahs want to destroy the world in the name of Shiite Islam.

Iran is a regime run by Mullahs who believe that their primary purpose in life is to bring on Armageddon and the appearance of the Mahdi. This is a regime that sent young children into mine field with golden keys around their necks, telling them they were on the way to their promised 70 virgins. Most of the children were probably too young to know what a virgin is. I have no idea what they promised the girls.

The Egyptian people know who the Muslim Brotherhood is. That’s why they booted them out of power. Our own government needs to listen to what the Egyptian people, and follow the money. The Muslim Brotherhood and all its offshoots need to be outlawed and hunted down.

I don’t know. The three on the left look like men in drag. Who can tell.

We’ll know it’s bad for the mullahs if they start chanting Trump! Trump! Trump!

Only a portrait of Mohammad is forbidden. All his minions have no problem with adulation. Nor did Mao or the current leader of North Korea.

“Not analogous to what Obama and Hilary did in Egypt and Libya.” And thanks for clarifying. That was what I was thinking - not that I think Trump would do something like that, but that perhaps an Obama leftover might.

I know Iran is bad. Good riddance and all that. Just my concern was the above.

It feels so three-initial-acronym that you hope the dissent isn't hung out to dry yet again.

Your reply made me wonder so I read an article in Wikipedia. It seems to be somewhat complicated. In general, Sunni Muslims are more restrictive than Shia Muslims. Only extreme Sunnis are totally against the depiction of human beings. And now a big surprise... Ayatollah Sistani of Najaf even allows the depiction of Mohammad if it is made with the utmost respect.

In these situations I think of Iraq. We ousted Sadam Hussin (sp?) and look what happened. He was a bad guy, but he kep the really bad guys in check. I would not want into Iran under any circumstance.

To the Iranians, January 1 is not that significant of a new year. To Iranians, the real new year, which they call NawRuz is on March 21.
