    They have no influence to spread . Revolutionary Guard , Persian style is not a popular flavor anywhere among the other unpopular flavors . Saud flavor is bad , but they would not enjoy the other .Such is life . If they got off the street they grew up on , I suppose they could expand and grow , at least to the point where I am , I know a shit sandwich tastes about the same , wherever it came from. I have seen all the streets and sandwiches ....

    Who gives a shit? As far as I am concerned they can institute Sharia in England because IT AIN'T COMING HERE.

    Would our children be taught about a coup d'etat if we had been the coup'ee?

    Persia and the oilfield- a brief Sky News recap of the US/UK 1953 Iranian Coup d'etat



    Funny, that 1979 hostage thingy is brought up all the time but the little friendly Coup, and also Iran Air #655 have basically disappeared from the newsrooms all across the land...

    "Iran Air Flight 655 was a civilian jet airliner shot down by U.S. missiles on July 3, 1988, over the Strait of Hormuz, toward the end of the Iran–Iraq War. The aircraft, an Airbus A300B2-203 operated by Iran Air, was flying from Bandar Abbas, Iran, to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, over Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf on its usual flight path when it was destroyed by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes (CG-49), killing all 290 passengers and crew aboard,[1] ranking it twelfth among the deadliest disasters in aviation history. It was the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Indian Ocean and the highest death toll of any incident involving an Airbus A300 anywhere in the world. Vincennes entered into Iranian territorial waters after sending one of its helicopters to buzz Iranian speedboats located inside Iranian waters, and the helicopter drew warning fire from the speedboats. IR655 was within Iranian airspace at the time it was shot down.

    Performing a Coup D'etat, blowing up one of their aircraft, and sanctioning their economy to try to make it fail are perfectly acceptable, even to lots and lots of (D)ems, now that their guy is calling the shots...

I don't see why people would get worked up about a threat to defend itself.
    "the regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time" - That is what he actually said. The "wipe Israel off the map" crap was just a twisted translation for propaganda. Sounds like they have a problem with the leaders of Israel. Can't say I blame them, they constantly call for the U.S. and NATO to attack Iran. But you can take the translation any way you want. As for killing all the Jews, Iran has the largest Jewish population in the middle east besides Israel. Seems to me that if they wanted genocide they would start at home first.

    Heres a link about the translation:

    Muslims make up about 20% of Israel parliament but I routinely read on RPF that Israel is committing genocide against Muslims so let's balance the two.

    As far as Jews in Iran I am sure as long as they know their place they are tolerated as the are 0.0001% of the population. In truth conversion to Christianity in Iran is punishable by death and there is currently someone in Iran sitting on death row for this crime. So if that is their attitude to Christians I find it unlikely that their attitude towards Jews is much better.

    Where's your evidence for this, lying troll?

    Is Iran killing Jewish kids in Gaza-like prison camps? Is Iran firing drones that kill Christian kids? Be sure to answer these questions, because I know your hatred for Muslims will prevent you from doing so.

    You cannot support Israel without hating and wishing genocide upon Muslims
