Just a couple of minor things:
​
quote:
The Mahdi belief is shared by ALL of Islam. Not just the nutjobs. I don't have the quote on me (I think its classified, as I didn't turn anything up on google)
​
So about a zillion people share this belief and it's a central part of islam but it's not mentioned anywhere? Have I got that right?
​
quote:
Oh, and then there is Hugo Chaves who has been quoted as saying that he feels love and compassion for all the Arab people, and might actually be Arab himself.
​
So he's no friend of Iran then? Or did you mean Muslim? (it just the way you start talking about muslims and then about arabs like they are the same thing).
​

I'm always more impressed when the people playing Secret Squirrel can actually spell the names of the people they are talking about:
​
Amadinejad
​
Ahmadinejad (it's translated in lots of ways but it's always got that H in it).

Right - which is why I'm confused - are we talking about Muslims or Arabs? Because you started off talking about Iran - which is not an arab nation....

Raical history doesn't matter.
​
With that you show that you actually no zip about the area and this conversation is over - you've nothing useful to tell me. It's a waste of my bandwidth to carry on.
​
(oh and get a spellchecker).
