Dianavan, as one of the people who "shouted (you) down" in your previous thread, I do commend you on your seach for the truth in this matter. But the "terrorist recruiters" thing... It's just lame. Where are you getting this information? Because if they're telling you that Sunni, Shia-hating al Qaeda is or was recruiting in Shia-run Iran (before, as has been pointed out, al Qaeda even existed), they're lying, and thus not a reliable source of information. Consider that your "source" may be full of shit.

You don't find many Iranian terrorists. Terrorism is a product of certain conditions, conditions that are not widespread in Iran. The people who might become terrorists were they to be oppressed and made unhappy are currently in power, and quite happy about it. And, as I believe I've mentioned to you before, the one and only Iranian group labeled "terrorist" by the US government happens to be anti-Iranian government.

Besides, strapping on a bomb-belt and blowing up a café is just not Iranian style. Seriously, I challenge you to name even one Iranian suicide bomber. One.

Do keep searching for the truth, though. :)
