Iran NO Longer Sells Oil For US Dolalrs

You should move to Iran, and plot around the clock with President Tom against Israel and the US.

I am a captive of this country, I am not allowed to leave.

If that's true, there's a perfectly good reason.

no, not really.

Then what would the reason be?

I am labeled as a felon, they should be glad to be rid of me...

They did not hate us when we sent an army of construction and engineering experts to build their oil empire. Sure, we profited, but they amassed enormous wealth as a result. We showed them the way and over generations, threw it in our faces.

Jihadist (nor the vast majority of muslims) are not wealthy oil barons, or princes.

You said Jihadist. You realize that you just caled them a term they used, now used to denote one who is involved in a Jihad, a Muslim holy war, in modern context.

And? I also refer to crusaders as crusaders, not crazy lunatic white men on killing rampages in the name of god.

You said Jihadist. You realize that you just caled them a term they used, now used to denote one who is involved in a Jihad, a Muslim holy war, in modern context.

So you admit that their ideals are religious.

Not the best definition of Crusaders, BTW. And there's a difference; there are no more crusaders to speak of.

Each of those are now out of Iraq, at least, if ever there. Okay, from memory, there was a foiled planned attack on several historical churches in Italy. Why, I wonder, would they choose such targets?

Many attacks occur against anti-Islamists in the Middle East. Are those countries interfering in themselves? Are the minority Christians in Indonesian (largest Muslim country) marketplaces interfering in the Middle East?

They do have a good reason to attack. Their most firmly held tenets.

"Jihad (Arabic: jihād, ‘striving, exerting oneself’). Some classical Islamic writers distinguished between ‘the greater jihad’, a spiritual struggle against the evil within oneself, and a ‘lesser jihad’, physical effort in the cause of Islam."

Where have you ever seen me say that islamic extremist do not use religion as a bases for their insanity?

It's not just being in Iraq, it's all things done to them in the past.

now you are talking about individuals and not whole countries, if a someone was killed you might want to see what that person has done or said that might have cause such vengence.

correct, their religion is a huge motivating factor, but they (islamic nations) don't declare war on a nation because it is mostly non-muslim, there is simply too many non-muslim nations for such practice to be practical.

Like I didn't see this coming a mile away. Hence the "in modern context."

I'm sure you've said that their only quarrel with us is our involvement in the ME.

So, wait, they can attack others for crimes of the past, the Jews can't attack them and take back their land for crimes of the past.

There are a lot of people who have angered the Muslims in the past. The Muslims have angered a lot of people in the past. You don't see us suicide bombing Tripoli, though.

It happens on a daily basis, it's because they disagree with militant Islam. Like attacks on other countries.

Their religion is not a motivating factor, it is the main factor. I am not talking about Muslim nations. Few Muslim nations would actually declare jihad. But Muslim groups based throughout all Muslim nations openly wage jihad with few repercussions.

I am a captive of this country, I am not allowed to leave.

everybody is quick to point out the terror connections to islam and the whole middle east area, all the while forgetting that 1 million people of Tehran mourned with us (publicly, no less) on 9/12/01.

Yea,but 100 million arabs party like hell at the death of 9/11 victums..
