   I wonder why newsweek chose this issue, perhaps in light of the recent deployments to the arabian gulf.

   Ali,
   That “Arabian” Gulf can cause problems. I appreciate it if you use Persian Gulf or simply the Gulf.

   Ali

   It is Persian Gulf, not arabian gulf. For hundreds of years it was called Persian Gulf. Even in far away Poland we call it Persian Gulf (Zatoka Perska).
   Should we change it to “arabian gulf” just because some associate it with PC (political correctness)? Ugh.

    I know next to nothing about bombs, and it seems that these bombs were homemade and were started to be made by Hizbullah some time ago. But, they are now combined with infra red motion sensor(s) which is triggered when the vehicle is nearby. So it may be possible that the building of the whole bomb (with IR sensor and perhaps remote control in some cases) is more complicated and although some may be homemade some, or some of it or some parts of it , may be supplied by Iran.
    Again, do not know weapons, it is just my try at explanation of what Washington in saying, which may be wrong.

    Well, at least they didn’t photoshop a picture of Khomeini - but left it open to the imagination LOL.

    If you want to read something that will really blow your mind, get a load of this guy. Found this on memri.

    London-Based Syrian-Born Historian Mahmoud Al-Sayyed Al-Dugheim: Iran Established Global Shiite Government, Operating in Accordance with the Protocols of the Mullahs of Qom, to Annihilate the Sunnis

    Following are excerpts from an interview with Syrian-born historian Mahmoud Al-Sayyed Al-Dugheim, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on January 30, 2007.

    Mahmoud Al-Sayyed Al-Dugheim: We consider the Zionist plan to be dangerous to the Arab nation, but even more dangerous is the Safavid, Sassanian, Iranian plan to restore the Empire of Cyrus, which would range from Greece to Egypt, and the Arabian Peninsula, in addition to other regions. The Zionist plan was unable to penetrate the ranks of Islamic unity, the way the Safavid Iranian plan did. The collaborators with the Zionists throughout the Arab and Islamic world are too ashamed to reveal themselves, while the collaborators with the Sassanian, Safavid plan boast about it in public. Wasn’t it one of their leaders who said yesterday: “We are a Lebanon in Iran, and an Iran in Lebanon”?

    [...]

    While the Zionist plan targets Jerusalem, which is holy to us, the Safavid plan targets Mecca and Al-Madina. If you go back to their books, which they do not mention in the media, yet these books exist and are accepted by them - they claim that their Hidden Imam will come to Mecca and Al-Madina, destroy the Al-Haram Mosque and the Mosque of the Prophet, and will dig in the graves of Abu Bakr and Omar, and burn them both, and then he will command the wind to blow them away. He will also dig in the grave of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, and will execute her. All this is part of their plan.

    [...]

    The Shah was most definitely one of the sworn enemies of the Arabs, but he did not legislate a law to persecute the Sunni Muslims, who constitute one-third of the Iranian population. The new Iranian constitution persecutes Sunni Muslims in Iran, while it gives constitutional rights to the the Zoroastrians, the Jews, and the Christians. This constitution denies the Sunnis these rights. There is no Sunni mosque in Tehran, even though there are over two million Sunni Muslims there.

    [...]

    All these actions are part of the 50-year plan of the Protocols of the Mullahs of Qom. This plan has been published and is well known. It aims to infiltrate the Sunni Muslim countries, to annihilate them, and to sow civil strife between the ruler and his subjects, all within fifty years.

    [...]

    Listen to the following secret communiqué: “At the command and with the guidance of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Guide of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, and under the title ‘The Shi’a of Ali Are Victorious’, the extended conference of the world’s Shiites was held in the holy city of Qom. It was attended by the leaders of all Shiite parties and religious authorities. The conference decided that a global organization must be established to annihilate the people who are left, to examine and analyze the current regional situation, to build a military force, to infiltrate governmental institutions through the women’s organizations everywhere, and then to infiltrate intelligence agencies, and to finish off the Sunni leaders, even by assassination.” This is the plan of the Hashashin, which still exists. There is a fatwa by their imams and religious authorities, which permits the trading and planting of hashish, in order to profit and to cover up their crimes.

    [...]

    While the American target is economic oil, the Iranian Persian goal is to massacre the Arabs, as is evident in all their writings.

    CRAZY! How many people ascribe to such a belief?

    I don’t know much about Mahmoud Al-Sayyed Al-Dugheim. Perhaps Kamangir, you would be interested to do a post on this view, one which lumps Iranian nationalists in with their sworn enemies, the Shia clergy!

20. kamangir | February 14th, 2007 at 3:41 pm

    Ali,
    Come on! Do you want me to find a Japanese who thinks Dutch people are their worst enemies? :)
