Dianavan,

I would bet that there are as many Al Quaeda operatives working undercover in America as there are in Iran. And someone is financing them.

Al Quaeda is not a nation-state outfit. It's kinda' like international corporations who are not beholden to any governments.

Don't know about the Zoroastrians but Bahais and Jews are hardly impartial about their views regarding Iranians. The Bahais have a long history of animosity toward Iran since their leader was jailed long ago. This mistrust of iran is built-in to their religious views. Could be said for most pro-Zionist Jews as well.
