On Sunday (Mar. 7), President Shimon Peres and the Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, visited the IDF Induction Base for the March Golani Brigade draft. President Peres said, “Iran has the intention of ruling the Arab world, using our conflict with the Palestinians as an excuse to cover up the differences between Sunnis and Shiites. Iran is the most anti-Israeli and the most egotistic.”

Peres also spoke about the high demand of combat positions. According to recent data, 76% of recruits request combat positions, and there are 5.8 candidates for each position in the Golani Brigade. The President praised the activities of Lt. Gen. Ashkenazi, saying, “The Chief of the General Staff is working to achieve the enlistment of current generation, most of them into the IDF, but those who cannot serve in the military, will also serve their country.”

President Peres also pointed out the importance of, “drafting parts of the population that previously did not enlist, such as the orthodox Jewish population or others.” He emphasized that the differences in enlistment are very serious for Israeli society and said, “Civilian authorities, the educational system, parents and teachers do everything in order to have an army that is loyal to the State and ensures its safety.” Answering a question asked during a press briefing, Peres said that he does not think “that there is any room for criticism of the Chief of the General Staff, who works wi... >>>

If you remember history
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would be equated to a former governor of Alabama  George C Wallace  who was very popular with white Americans which basically places these musilims some 50+ years behind the times AT Best.

But reality would still place them some 170+ years behind the times if you examine women's rights within Islam....

Heh! I have a right to fear a religion that would have me beheaded because I left it. 

I also have a right to fear a religion that turned my nation from a jewel of Middle East into a s*** h***. You bet I am an afraid of it. I would be an idiot to do otherwise.

When they decide to behave like human beings:

  • Denounce Sharia
  • Denounce beheading people who disagree with them.
  • Leave other people alone to practice their choice of religion or none.
  • Stop blowing up airplanes and trains.
  • Stop issuing fatwas.
  • Get an education and become productive.
  • Respect other people.
  • Stop being antisemitic.
  • Quit whining

Then I will stop being afraid of them. Until then you bet I am afraid of them and so should other people be.

I am currently in Malaysia.

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on

I am currently in Malaysia. Here is the reality. Although many
countries and their governments "act" by force for the sake of Israel, the reality is another issue. The clear majority of the Muslim population in any country, modern and backward, are against the Zionist party and Israeli government.

Abarmard. The clear majority of Muslim people are uneducated and in poverty. They neither make science or art. They do one thing well and that is to whine. They are also experts in killing themselves. Now compare that to the West. This is just reality. Numbers mean nothing it is the quality of people. That is determined by their education and productivity. A billion uneducated and illiterate people would not hold against 100 well educated and literate people.

Why are you guys fooling yourselves. Islam has brought nothing but ignorance. I am proud to have rejected it. Instead of stewing in Israel hatred I live a full life. Maybe if others rejected Islam they would also gain happiness.

Amir, there's a difference between "official" support and "street" support, and MUCH has changed since 1988. Heck, much has changed since 2005, with the presidency of Dr. Ahmadinejad.

The Arab street "supported" Iraq against Iran, and now it "supports" the Rapist Regime because it barks death to America and death to Israel louder than anybody else. They like the Monkey President because he invites former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke and other neo-Nazis to Tehran for a holocaust denial conference. Big deal. The Arab street doesn't matter worth sh*t. They are largely an ignorant and fanatical bunch of pathological wife beaters. They couldn't do anything after the U.S. mangled Iraq (twice). And they won't be able to do anything in the future.

(It is certainly higher than pre-1979 levels.)  

LOOLLL. And these other countries' rates isn't higher since 1979? Yeah, right. The Gulf Arab states are more patriarchal societies than Iran. Turkey, Jordan and Syria don't have anywhere near the oil revenues that Iran has. And we're supposed to be happy that Iran's female literacy rate is lower than these countries, but kinda in the same ballpark. I have to marvel at the garbage level of expectations and "standards" of IRI cyber groupies  :-)

I am currently in Malaysia. Here is the reality. Although many countries and their governments "act" by force for the sake of Israel, the reality is another issue. The clear majority of the Muslim population in any country, modern and backward, are against the Zionist party and Israeli government. I would not worry too much about what Israeli officials say, as many in US think that United States is the most powerful policy maker and Israeli wants and needs matter, the majority of the world population do not agree. In Malaysia, the people are proud of not having Israeli embassy in their country, as they call Israel the Evil regime.

Here is a bit of reality that the residence of the Western world need to swallow. People are getting smarter and are not easily influenced by Western media's propaganda. Also Israeli supporters do not own Asia's media. I did not say that, it was my cab driver. The World is much larger than Europe! I am finding more as I travel in this corner. 

Here is another reality for those who might not know. Regardless of how you feel, if tomorrow, in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Many Persian Gulf states, free election is held and Ahmadinejad is a candidate, I would say he has a great chance to win. You must realize the culture, wants and needs, and political background of those countries to understand why.

Hopefully more later.

The female literacy rates differ based on which source you cite. There really isn't a divergence of more than 10%, plus or minus, between most of these figures. So Iran's rate isn't extraordinary, by any ME measure. (It is certainly higher than pre-1979 levels.) Also, the number and percentage of Iranian women in higher education is high, by any measure.

BTW No Fear, I like your new avatar. Much better than the previous one.

More fantasies from IRI cyber groupie No Fear

by AMIR1973 on

If they don't and allow attacks on Iran from their soil, then there would be costly repercussions for them. 

Yeah, right--what a bunch of baloney. Every Arab country, except Syria which already had bad relations with Iraq, supported Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War. Even Yasser Arafat, whom Khomeini invited to Iran shortly after the Revolution as one of his first foreign "guests", supported Iraq. Talk about taking the money and running--LOL. Once again, the IRI had egg on its face (too bad). What were the "repercussions" for these Arab states that Iran was able to cause for them? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. 

I say in all seriousness that we Iranians have no reason to look down on Arabs, despite the poem about the "dog of Esfahan" and the "Arab of the desert". Many Arab countries have higher female literacy rates than the IRI, including Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, etc, etc. Needless to say, both Turkey and Israel also have higher rates than the IRI. 

Where are your "facts" now, O IRI cyber groupie No Fear?

I disagree.

Sunny muslims in Iran have many rights that the shi'ite counterparts lack in the arab countries. For example;

You don't see Shi'ite religious leaders in Iran calling our sunni muslims, "Kafir" or people which spilling their blood is permitted in Islam. do you?

Sunni muslims in Iran are fully represented in our Majlis and are free to practice their religion anywhere in Iran if they choose so.

A great deal of attention has been given to boost the economy in sunni areas of Iran. Have you seen Chahbahar recently?

I am no racsist. Those who belittle and call arabs all sorts of names are racsists. Like our can of tuna fish, Amir1973 who posted earlier. The more support Iran gains within the arab world, the better it will be for Iran. If these countries suport us, thats great. If they don't and allow attacks on Iran from their soil, then there would be costly repercussions for them. This is just common sense. What is your problem?

However, arguably the most important influence that Iran currently has in the arab world, is its popular foreign policies within arab populations.( From Egypt to pakistanand Malaysia ) 

Pakistan and Malaysia are not Arab states. 

This is such an
important factor and it can serve as the ultimate distabilizing factor in the entire region if Iran is threatened in anyway.

These populations will not be able to do anything. They are uneducated; and unproductive. They did nothing against Israel. They are completely irrelevant.

Amir1973

I am still waiting for Syria to recover the Golan or just get back at Israel for all the humiliating military defeats inflicted on it. The highlight of Arab military glories is Hezbollah's ability to kill 120 Israeli soldiers in 2006. When that is your finest hour, you know the pickin's must be slim.

This is very much true. These populations are not worth controlling. They are more a burden than use. They are "siahi lashgar". They provide numbers on paper but when it comes to a real fight they count as nothing. In a real war they would be scattered to the four winds by any well equipped and disciplined military. The best they could do is to terrorize their own populations which is a total and complte disgrace. One educated person is worth 1000 ignorant idiots. VPK

No fear: Using your own warped line of logic,  the Sunni states can claim that the minority sunnis in Iran are being discriminated and therefore, should be protected by other Sunni countries.

Your type of secterian and racist attitude will eventually lead to the slaughter of millions of people.

No Fear: Delusions of an IRI cyber groupie

by AMIR1973 on

So some of the poorest, most illiterate, most fanatical, most pathetic, least technologically advanced societies in the world which haven't made much contribution to industry, science or human civilization in general in many, many centuries (i.e. the Losers of the World) have teamed up with the Leader of the Losers, i.e. IRI, another down-in-the-dumps Third World country whose total GDP is less than that of almost every state in the U.S., and this is considered a Grand Alliance--LOL!!!!!!

The rapists in Iran will pick up the phone, and Arab "malakh-khor" Islamists of various stripes will just answer the call like that. Imagine the mindset of a fool dumb enough to be willing to die for Khamenei--personally, I hope they all get issued plastic keys right before they step on a landmine--care to join them, No Fear? A lot of good these loser friends of the IRI did in the war against Saddam, a man who was one of the most indept military minds in recent history. Just imagine how much Syria, Hamas, and the rest of the Islamist cutthroats could do if faced with the U.S., which mangled Saddam's army in the blink of an eye (something the IRI couldn't do in 8 long and very bloody years)! I am still waiting for Syria to recover the Golan or just get back at Israel for all the humiliating military defeats inflicted on it. The highlight of Arab military glories is Hezbollah's ability to kill 120 Israeli soldiers in 2006. When that is your finest hour, you know the pickin's must be slim. The only thing Arab and Muslim militaries are good for is killing their own people.

Iran must protect Shi'ite minorities all over the world.

by No Fear on

As an Islamic country, Iran can not be indifferent to the fate of other shi'ites in neighboring countries. We simply can not ignore them since they are regarded as second class citizens in their respected countries. Iran, rightfully, has supported them in many different ways and these shi'ites have always returned the favor one way or another. This is just basic good foreign diplomacy.

Iran influences in the arab world are due to the followings:

Syria: Military alliance

Iraq: Majority Shi'ite population mostly loyal to Iran

Lebanon: Strong Shi'ite minorities. ( Hizbollah )

Yemen: Armed Shi'ite minority ( Putting some pressure on Saudis )

Palestine: Hamas , political alliances

Sudan: Military alliances, IRGC military base and training camp

Qatar: Some political alliances ( This really gets on Saudi nerves )

However, arguably the most important influence that Iran currently has in the arab world, is its popular foreign policies within arab populations.( From Egypt to pakistan and Malaysia ) This is such an important factor and it can serve as the ultimate distabilizing factor in the entire region if Iran is threatened in anyway.

Most of Iran's politicians rhetorical rants about holocaust or 9/11 is also directed at this mass muslim population and it serves as strategic propaganda.

So are you saying IRI do not want to "export the Revolution?"

by AsteroidX on

A senior cleric urged Iran's factions on Friday to end post-election infighting, suggesting they should focus on trying to "export the revolution" instead.

//www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5833FV200909...

Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani's comments appeared to be an attempt to calm political tension inside Iran after its disputed election in June, which plunged the country into its deepest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

But any reference to exporting Shi'ite Iran's revolution may stir unease in nearby Gulf Arab states, which are predominantly Sunni Muslim with Shi'ite minorities.

Iran's late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini coined the phrase "exporting the revolution." Khomeini, who died in 1989, remains a figure much revered by all political groups, but such language is rarely used by Iran's present-day leaders.

"In our Islamic society, if we want to hurt people's prestige in our remarks ... then it would lead to a fire which hurts everyone," Kashani told Friday prayer worshippers in Tehran, in a clear reference to domestic political feuding.

"It is now the time to export the revolution ... it is not the time to treat each other like this," he said in a sermon broadcast live on state radio. "Such remarks cause damage to the Islamic society and prevent the export of the revolution."

Kashani is seen as a moderate cleric who rarely makes politically controversial remarks.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's pro-reform opponents say the June 12 election was rigged to secure the hardliner's re-election, a charge the authorities deny.

The vote's turbulent aftermath exposed deepening establishment divisions, with hardliners accusing senior moderates of inciting street unrest in a bid to undermine the Islamic Republic.

When Khomeini was Iran's supreme leader in the 1980s, Arab states in the Gulf and others were alarmed by references to "exporting the revolution," which they saw as a bid by Iran to stir up revolt in their countries.

Iran has since tried to improve relations with Arab states.
