I remember well the revolution in Iran and the taking of our American hostages.Im aware of that. The shaw actually wished to westernize his nation, the mullahs that replaced him of course, would have non of that.
TCS and I were at Naval Air Station Pensacola, FL, at the time. That's where our Navy trained the Iranian military pilots. One of whom nearly totaled my little Porsche 914 head-on with his Lincoln Continental (and had diplomatic immunity to boot). At our command, which was in charge of pilot training at the time, we had frequent contact with the students. It was common knowledge that their officers handled discipline in a more, ahem, "physical" manner than our guys.
Good questions.But does any christian extremist hold a state? And hold a military? And export their christian extremisism by means of their state power?
How many christian extremiat states currently exist?
I remember after the Ayatollah died his people carried his body thru the streets for his funeral, and they dropped his body when all the men started grabbing at it. They pawed him and stripped him--it was horrible. I think about how that compares with Western Christian funerals for our military and police fallen, and heads of state.How many muskem states under shariah currenty exist?
It's not just a difference of laws, but culture and worldview, too.
