Amir1973,

by No Fear on

I repeat again:

The majority of the middle eastern populations are shi'ite muslims.

You are refering to " countries ", while i am pointing to the numerical statistics of the entire population.

You are thick as a brick. cheers ;-)

No Fear: Pure Chert-o-Pert

by AMIR1973 on

If you pay attention to the demographics of population in the middle east, its hard not to realize that the majority of the middle easterns are Shi'ite muslims ( incl. Iran ).

The very first sentence of this garbage post is a ridiculous lie. Only 4 countries in the entire world have Shia majorities: Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, and Azerbaijan. There are about 2 million or so Shia in Lebanon. The overall populations of Bahrain and Azerbaijan are rather small, so this leaves Iran (72 million, about 90% Shia) and Iraq (31 million, 60-65% Shia). Every other country has large to very large Sunni majorities. In what imaginary world are "the majority of middle easterns (sic)" Shia?

Why is it okay for my tax dollars tio go to Israel but it is bad for Irani petro dollars go to Lebanon?

 

Can anyone be fair and answer?

 

Iran's money is going to the poor to get popular sympsthy.....my tax dollars go to Israel to kill innocent people.

 

In the realm of politics bothe cases are Justifiable but in the realm of humanity, the difference is so obvious!

Brilliant Reasoning

Yet another ridicolous reas0ning by AmirK***. 


Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe because of Hezbollah Iran hasn't been attacked? What would the cost of a war be?

Yeh right. Big  REASON Israel and USA get so much support against Iran is Hizbollah.  Now you twist reality to put is backwards. You should work for Carl Rove! You make an excellent "news" writer for Fox! 

Winds of change are shaking the basis of IRI. The groupies are now pulling out all stops. Justify Hizbollah and the like. Great job! People are too smart to go for it.

PS,

  • Q: Why do Islamist throwbacks keep insulting real Iranians by mudding their names:  
  • A: Because they hate Iran and will do anything to make us look bad.

True Islamists hate Iran and all it has stood for. They want to turn us into an Arab nation. That is their goal; no wonder  "ke sangeh arabaro be sineh mizanan". Both literally and figuratively. As in "Sineh Zani" and putting Arabs ahead of Iranians.

The one result of this sorry venture of IRI is one thing. We will learn not to trust Islam and Mullahs for generations to come. By then hopefully Islam will be long gone.  Take the groupies with it to join with Imam. No more Islamist lies; no one believes them.

What's a difference

by MRX1 on

what's a dfiiference between builing mosque in Lebonon or building junky soviet nuclear power plant or buying chinese crap and introducing it to the market to the point that local industry nearly collapses? nothing! waste is waste.  Again this is not a money that this regime obtained from hard work,planning or anything, it's from pomping oil with the infrastructure that was built and paid during the time of the supposedly evil shah.You guys are always talking about nickle and dime when the thief already robbed from you millions of dollars!

Cheraghi ke be khaneh ravaast be masjed haraam aast.

Ya, you keep telling that to yourself. That is why Iranians who believe in such phrases will never help a needy. because they themselves always come first and the needs never end. Therefore, there is no giving and the poor stays poor and it really doesn't matter Iranian or not. That is one of your flaws.  Let's be honest here! Look at yourself and tell me if you ever helped and changed an Iranian stranger financially for better?  Of course, I have seen many done that for worse.

Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe because of Hezbollah Iran hasn't been attacked? What would the cost of a war be?

What's the big deal? Everyone is investing in reconstruction in The Lebanon, with the back-up of gold reserves in Lebanese bank vaults, business is booming....

Oh yeas, beautiful Lebanon

by عموجان on

IRI leaders and their IRGC know they have to cut and run very soon and as every body knows Lebanon always been a great place for criminals and terrorists to hide. So in their eyes this is a great strategy to invest Iranian money in Lebanon for when they scape there, it is all beautiful and ready. at least it make it easer for when we have to go after them, they all be in one place.

"This is done for strategic and humanitarian consideration"

by Simorgh5555 on

"This is done for strategic and humanitarian consideration".

No this is done on the basis of a fanatical ideology deeply rooted in anti-semetism and the exporting of politcal islam.

If you feel so strongly about humanitarian efforts then please feel free to help Muslims suffering from Serb genocide in former Yogoslavia or the oppressed  Muslims in Chechyans who have been hit hard by Iran's favourite trading partner and pimp Russia. 

Oh, did I mention, Georgia? The also have a strong Muslim population whose houses were destroyed by the Russians a few years ago. They can do with a national park and a few bridges and hospitals.

Oh, what about demanding that Russia pay reperations to Afghanistan for their ill fated invasion and occupation of the country in 1979? 

What's wrong, Sargord? Are the terrorists in Iran chickening out? Too scared to confront humatarian issues with Russia? Those Ruskies have sure killed enoug, Muslims" 

Ah, poor Mullahs, are they scared the Russians won't veto any sanctions on their behalf or send them secodn rate crappy military hardware. Dear, dear me! 

CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKEN!

"cut and run"?!!

آبی که به خانه رواست، به مسجد حرام است

آدم نمیاد وقتی هزاران هزار کودک گدا و گرسنه زیر پل گیشا و زیرگذر حرم مشهد آدامس و کارتِ دعا میفروشند، پاشه بره فرت و فرت پول بریزه توی جیب یک حزب سیاسی در یک کشور دیگه. حالا دلیلش هر چی بخواد باشه

"...startegic considerations..."

ولمون کنین بابا. چطور وقتی ما بلند میشیم پول و اسلحه و نیرو میدیم کشورای دیگه میشه «استراتژی»، اما وقتی آمریکا یا هر کسی دیگه این کار را میکنه میشه «توطئه صهیونیسم» و «اشغال منطقه» و «امپریالیسم جهانی» و غیره؟

Sargord Reeshoo, please spare us the vituperating comments toward others. Save it for your masjed

Demography of ME

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

The numbers do not matter it is accomplishment that does. The majority of non Iranian Muslims Shia or Sunni are "koor o kachal" heh heh! Adam hesabi are increasingly leaving Islam and becoming something other than Muslim!

So why bother rounding up a band of useless Hizbollahi. Not to mention other assorted rabble? In return get on an unnecessary fight with more powerful nations. Only a fool pick a fight he will not win. I saykeep the money for Iranians; at least they are worth it.

by AmirKabir on

I heard Naton Yaboo and other Israeli officials stuck their heads into each others strong holes as soon as they saw Ahmadinejs at the border. Some even had heart attacks. 

All the countries in the region should unite and impose heavy sanctions backed with military actions against Israel.

 


No Fear

From another angle ...

by No Fear on

If you pay attention to the demographics of population in the middle east, its hard not to realize that the majority of the middle easterns are Shi'ite muslims ( incl. Iran ). No one can deny the leadership role that Iran has over the Shi'ite populations all over middle east. They look up to Iran and Iran regards them as one of her own. Iran has actively supported all shi'ite groups all over the middle east and it is not a coincidence to see the rise of Shi'ite groups and governments in the region. Shi'ism is what bonds us together which is beyond nationalism and defies any borders.

We are talking about a persian version of Islam with martyrdom as its center pillar. In other words, a fearless ideology which could be activated as a powerful weapon. This is not " soft " power. This is the ultimate power. Use this weapon in the elections or revolutions. Change governments without any war.

Now back to the money issue...

Whether Iran spends 200 million ( low estimate ) or 400 million ( high estimate ) over lebanese shi'ites per year, that money is still considered pocket change for a country like Iran. It has been recently suggested that these help and supports are from our defense budget which clearly displays that this money has not been taken out of Iran's own developement plans.

I believe we should increase our support to lebanon. Both financially and militarly. This support should be directed at hezbollah specifically. Hezbollah must be equipped with early warning systems, more advanced radar systems and listening posts.

Hezbollah defense systems would be an extension of Iran's defences right at our enemy's door step.

Of course, many of you can't comprehend such: your personal background being one of "cut and run."

Millions of people in Iran

by Simorgh5555 on

Millions of people in Iran are living below the poverty line and school teachers being beaten with batons for demonstrating for higher wages. To think that wretched charlatan Ayatoilet Khomeini (Rot in Hell) once said that oil revenues will be given directly to the people of Iran so no one would pay for gas or water!

The people have Lebanon have suffered heavily and I do not want to project my anger towards them but they will see that the price of supporting Iran and fighting their proxy war against Israel will come at a greater price than they could possibly fathom. 

Death to the Islamic Republic. Please support military action. 


Veiled Prophet of Khorasan

Iranian Money

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

 

I said before there is nothing wrong with buying influence. The problem here is the one doing it. The IRI is not fit to represent Iran. Therefore they should not be doing it.

Once the IRI is gone I am all for Iranian influence. We should do it. And Iran should be the main power in the region.

AmirKabir

Being anti Ahmadinejad

by AmirKabir on

Being anti Ahmadinejad seems to be a fashion for some people these days. 

Existence of Hezbollah has reduced the chances of any attacks on Iran. Just as Hezbollah needs Iran, Iran needs Hezbollah.  Iran should strengthen its relation with other countries as well.

However, I think the financial help to Lebanon and Palestine or any other country should come from a regional bank that all countries in the region donate to. This way the costs are distributed among all the countries and not just Iran.

I don't think they should have been left alone after the Israeli genocide which still continues in Palestine.

As for Iran, as long as the corruption exists, no amount of money will be enough to feed the corrupt individuals and the poor will never see their shares.  That is what must be stopped.

Investing in soft power

by Abarmard on

Will it pay off? so far Iranian regime is happy with the results.


iamfine

you are correct

by iamfine on

You are correct by saying Iranian money should not be used in lebanon. Here in the USA, almost 6 billion dollars go to Israel with no string attach to it and yet our Iranian friends who are the US citizen don't criticise it. That money can go to get health insurance for almost 50 million Americans. Average income in the USA is only $35000. It seems the foreign policy of these two nations is cut and paste of each other.

Iranian Money??

by Tavana on

Iranian money is nothing more than a colorful piece of paper with a face of devil on it!! It is easily reproduceable by more paper & a fast speed color printer. What is at stake is the limited & irrepaceable dark earth's blood called oil extracted from the deep underground to exchange with foreign money which is again a piece of colorful paper with another ugly picture of devil on it!! What is ignored here is the wasteing of resources in sacrifice for fame/politics. What a shame.

If Ahmadi- Rahbar bunch don't spend the nations money here !!!

by kazem0574 on

Where would the poor things escape to when the tide turns. Knowing some of our Arab friends, when that day comes, they may suddenly suffer from amnesia and not know who Ahmadi, Rahbar and the bunch are.

In any case our people's money is lost, but that seems to have happened a lot in our history, so sadly what's new.
