Bahá’í (had to search for that), and Christianity.

Gotta love them fashion police, I am sure somewhere there is photo shoot on how to accessorize for the revolution.

OGLiberal: oops, missed that one. Maybe you should move back in then, very publicly, and THEN blow it up. What are the Iranians doing with the building now? And is it still American territory by international law? Not that Iran cares about that in any case.

The reorientation of the IRGC mission to face internal threats is a tacit admission of political weakness.

Don’t underestimate the effect of their economic problems on both their unpopularity and the weakness of their security apparatus. The general level of economic suck may end up being the deciding factor in the outcome.

You do know that we haven’t had a functioning embassy in Iran since 1979?

thanks for the link, Doug. I followed it and found a New York Times article under the byline “BILL KELLER.”

It was a really engaging “read” with a seemingly sane POV.

But… BILL KELLER???? Isn’t that the chief editor of the organization, not just some roaming beat reporter?

I would love to know if this is the same guy who has made vicious anti-government/anti-American statements in the past. Maybe he’s not so rabidly anti-American under the Obama presidency.

“Zahra: “Terrorism is embodied by the great powers, especially the US. Through their State terrorism which they have exported to all parts of the world, they have been behind the martyrdom of the great Muslim thinkers such as Dr. Ali Shari’ati, Murteza Muttahari, Ayatullah Beheshti, Ayatullah Muhammad Baqir al-Sadir, Sheikh Raghib Harb, the family of martyr Faruqi, Sheikh Subhi al-Salih, and many others, as it is they who fanned the flames of the war forced on Iran, who bombed Libya and who were behind the murder of Sulaiman Khater and Khalid al-Islambouli and his brothers in Egypt.

Nor is that all. For American political factories in all areas of the world are at present engaged in training women who have put themselves in the service of the oppressors and the US interest through their conduct and attitudes and minds. We see them in the same trench with those who deceive people and their Islamic ambitions for their countries. It is impossible for America and taghooti states to tolerate a mujahid or mujahida. The have been at receiving end from all-sides. Consequently, whenever they see a Muslim woman who has risen to combat kufir, shirk and imperialism with conviction and with all her being – they spare no effort – through their stooges and their recruits – to portray her in a terrifying image in order to prevent her true personality, which is hostile to oppression, from becoming an example to be followed by other women. I have myself been suspected of terrorism and of training girls in terrorism. Perhaps the reason behind giving me a distorted image of terrorism goes back to my being the wife of the prime minister Hussain Musavi. In this way they want to level a charge of terrorism against the Islamic leadership as a whole. In me they found their opportunity, since I am an activist and since I have my own independent personality which had been known to the Iranian people before they knew my husband. That is because I worked in the cultural sphere in my own name and through my stand against the US and the Shah. My objective in all this was to oppose foreign and secular culture disorientation or disinformation against weaker nations and against the Muslim Ummah.”

Zahra Rahnavard, Musavi’s wife, isn’t she a nice chick ?
