Saudi Arabia rakes in BILLIONS of dollars every year from hajj and omrah. Under normal circumstances any country would pay the utmost care and attention not to do anything to upset the chicken laying the golden eggs. But they have such utter disregard and contempt for other less affluent third...

The evil Iranians at it again... I mean when you question why 700+ people had to die just walking on their pilgrimage, you must clearly have an agenda!!! But you true believers don't fall for it... No need to make a big deal out of this. No need to question anything... It was god's will. Now...

Very well said!!! Reading pieces like that from you and Daneshmand makes me proud and hopeful as an Iranian. I've long argued with my religious friends that if god intended for us all to follow his 'instructions' in an absolutely identical manner to the last dash and dot, he would have given us...

Is it ever more likely to get more diverse?

I like your sense of humor... :D

Yeah let's kill those unhelpful beavers too... After all, if it doesn't serve our purpose, it has no purpose...

That's another extinct creature on our planes... :lol: Yes, but it's still really sad... Once they're gone, they're gone for good.... and we'll be all the more diminished for it... Imagine if Iranians still had the lion the symbol of our nation... we destroyed even that! Thankfully they're...

Thanks! So it seems like they're just starting to employ carbon fibre in in minor, non-load bearing parts in their submarine designs. I wonder if they could use it in the construction of the main pressure hull. This carbon fibre is potentially a game changers for countries without deep...

That would be great if it ever happened. Lions in particular have special place in our iconography. The good news is I've heard our Lions and Cheetahs were/are of the same or very close subspecies. Not so with the tigers, unfortunately..

For shame! Only if we could repopulate the missing species in each other's country's. Now that would be a strategic alliance I wouldn't mind engaging in with India...

We had tigers too! Our tigers were a close relative of the Siberian tigers.... so they were large beasts... But we killed them all.... same with our Lions.. Next on the list is our Leopards and then the Cheetah, the wolves, the bears... and then hopefully we'll get to those pesky hyenas....

‫ای بابا... در مکه مکرمه بوده... حلاله . مگر شما نشنیدین؟ جرثقیل هم سجده کرده بوده. اصلا این خواست خدا بوده. تها چیزی که من نمیدونم اینه که چرا خدا این اتفاقهای دشوار رو بیشتر برای طرفداران پر و پا قرص خودش تدارک میبینه!!!

Amen to that brother. There is hope for us yet! One of the reasons why I support the Islamic government is that by dint of demonstrating the true nature of religion day in and day out and brutally rubbing the face of Iranians in it, it is secularizing the Iranian population at a speed that no...

Well too late! I've already gone irreligious and there's no going back..... You don't need religion to know god. In fact, if anything, religion pushes you away from the essence of god. It's like staring at a dot on a large painting, and claiming that it will teach you anything and everything you...

I have no doubt about it. European countries used to kill each other worse than Shia/Sunnis. And out of that came the realization that that was madness, as you said. So they started talking and they started respecting each other and coexisting with one another. So we have a long and painful road...

Well said! I agree. Iran and Israel's relationship wasn't grounded on Iran's inherent national interests. It was an imposition from above as a condition of club membership. In reality, Iran and Israel will butt heads in the region, because Israel's survival is predicated on dominating their...

Generally agreed! let's call it tactical and strategic. In my view tactical alliances may result from immediate exigencies of one's national interests. But Strategic alliances are often formed with countries that share similar set of values and world views. OK

And that's all I've been saying throughout... Let's not get carried away with the sweet talk from India... Let's not be under any illusions about who they are and the nature of our relationship with them ... Let's keep it businesslike... Let's keep it tactical and on a strict quid pro quo...

Anytime! Next time have a dictionary handy before starting a conversation.
