IRANIAN QUESTION AND ANSWER: Come on, let's play a round....

Q: What did Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi tell reporters yesterday?
A: Alleging that the U.S. was behind the student protests in Tehran, and that Iran's students would never ever want to seek freedom on their own (to think such a thing!), spokesman Asefi told reporters, "Yesterday we lodged a protest with the Swiss Embassy here, which protects the U.S. interests in Iran. We have strongly protested U.S. interference" in the internal affairs of Iran, "and we reserve the right to pursue the matter through legal channels."

Q: What other ways is Iranian intelligence currently intervening in the internal affairs of European states?

A: Yes. In March 1992, 28 people were killed and 220 injured in an Iranian-backed bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires. In July 1994, 86 people were killed in an Iranian-backed explosion which destroyed the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association and the Delegation of Argentine Jewish Associations. According to a high-level defector from Iranian intelligence in the custody of the German government, President Carlos Menem of Argentina accepted a payment of $10 million from the government of Iran to keep Iranian complicity secret; Menem himself had received campaign support from Iranian intelligence back to his tenure as governor of La Rioja province, when Iranian agents decided reports of his anti-semitism made him a promising ally for Iran’s interests.

Q: What do the Hadith have to say about hypocrisy?
A: From the Bukhari, Hypocrisy in Deeds:

"The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four characteristics will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.

1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.

2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner"

Q: So you're saying, the Islamic Republic of Iran is exceptionally hypocritical, and really not very Islamic at all?
A: Exactly. (0) opinions -- Add your opinion
