I'm not entirely convinced about the whole 'Clash of Civillisations' theory. For one the theory requires a civillisation to clash with. Which modern civillisation executes women by burying them up their waists and pelting them with stones until the die a slow and lingering death? It's not just nuclear weapons which are unsafe in the hands of the mullahs; with their their worldview small stones can be a deadly weapon too.

How many times do I have to say, where is the proof they have nuclear weapons, or perhaps we should just bomb Tehran to find out? It's absolutely disgusting what's happening (I advise you to join the Facebook group, not that it will make a difference), and that is nothing to do with Iranian culture (the most ancient in the world), but the Iranians will rise up against it, and won't be helped with judgemental Western snipes.

Still, see your point.

They don't have nuclear weapons yet. They have a nuclear programe if you want to split hairs. Also I have never advocated the bombing of Iran. I know all about Iranian culture I've read about King Xerses and Darius etc. Of course it is part of Iranian culture it is passed by Iranian judges and carried out by Iranian people; I would wager that a fair number of the Iranian working class would support it. Football hooliganism is part of Britsh culture it doesnt mean that everyone supports it. If you can't be judgemental about the stoning to death of women for having sex then what can you be judgemental about?
