2. Rumors? What rumors?
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.15.09)
News to me. Perhaps Iran -- with the noose tightening around its neck -- is playing the pity card? As if anyone really cares ....
3. This man will not die before he defeat israel
reza shah ,   tehran   (10.15.09)
He made promise to god to defeat israel and recover AlAqsa so he will not die before he fulfill his promise at least i donot think he has the desire to do that

No one has lived to age 900-something since Methusaleh. Looks like your ayatollah will leave this mortal coil without having fulfilled his promise. Gosh darn. Perhaps if he blew himself up in an empty field somewhere he can the 72 virgins (or is that one 72 year old virgin? I forget.).

The akhoonds of the IRI will be remove dlike the vicious tumor it is from within the iranian people. All supporters of that fanatic regime are a disgrace and are the real ennemy of the iranian people. Your masters are killing there own people. Shame on you ! real iranians didn't give a damn about palestinians or lebanese. Our problm is not with israel it is with the tyrants and the small gang who are leading this country nowhere !

10. SARAH IS SUPPOSED TO BE
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (10.15.09)
A professional person but when she indulgies in talk-back of this nature,it comes to light who she actually is.Anyway,coming to Ayatollah Khameini's health,nothing much to say.If he is not sick he is healthy.Iran is not used to playing cards of that nature for self-pity.It is a strong country and has enough power to overcome many obstacles.The problem is that Sarah ignores them...........and all of us know why.

Marco ,   Spain   (10.15.09)
Very well said Mahmood. Honestly, sometimes I feel that Sarah needs help. Psychological that is. She needs to get a life, period.
12. Death of a mad man
Art Schwartz ,   IRVINEUSA   (10.15.09)
If this is true, have the muslim brotherhood ready to be picked up by Air Force One and taken to the" great man's" funeral.

Mahmood, thats no way to talk to & about a lady. Sarah has more brains in her head than you hope ever to have. Quite the opposite, Sarah does not ignore anything.Her posts are of excellent quality.

I am a professional person. I also happen to remember when Ayatollah Khamenei was one of the senior mullahs who was filmed repeatedly kicking the corpses of the dead American servicement who lost their lives in the failed attempt to rescue the American hostages. As far as I am concerned, he is not a man of religion -- religion is supposed to teach tolerance and forgiveness, among other things -- and Khamenei's outrageous display negates any "religious" training or study he purports to have. Unless, of course, his reprehensible actions are representative of Islam -- is that what you are suggesting, Mahmood? That Islam is a religion of violence and hatred? Frankly, given Khamenei's actions that day -- memorialized on film and witnessed by millions of shocked and outraged Americans and who knows how many others worldwide -- I sincerely, truly hope that he is not in a coma. I want him to be alert, wide awake and conscious and in extraordinary, unmedicable pain when he dies. I will be remembering the souls of those poor dead American servicemen whose corpses he defilled and I will be filled with a strong sense of satisfaction. Frankly, I won't be the only one.

Marco, you are predictable in one respect: you are really good at parroting other people's thoughts; not so good at formulating and articulating your own. Frankly, I don't think you've ever had an original idea in your life. Marco the Mynah Bird.

Jane, Jeff 's ( # 1 ) talkbacks on most articles here are all the same rubbish. He just needs to take his meds. (pills)
20. Iranians, why r u letting your leaders bring u to destructio
Not worth the fight ,   USA   (10.16.09)
Iranians, why r u letting your leaders bring u down the path destruction? Regardless of ur strength or feelings of righteousness, u will suffer great loss from ur enemies. Why suffer potential population death and ur countries beauty destroyed? Organize, Rebel, overthrow these leaders that only care about themselves. Everyone looses in a war. One they will surely bring you to.
21. #8 - Sarah Got The Definition Correct
Christy ,   Boston, MA   (10.16.09)
Here's a Wiki page that defines Houri, gives the history and meaning of the word, etc.. There's a section on the Hebrew Root, which means pale, whitish. If you read the entire page, you'll see that in English, the most correct translation is: "Thus, it seems that the most appropriate English rendering of the compound word Hur'In might be: "Companions pure, most beautiful of eye."" Virgin IS a fair translation. A virgin IS pure. I don't see anything bigoted, or goyish about using the term virgin. Here's the link, with many more references to look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houris And, talk about bigotry, as you accuse Sarah, what about this quote from your post: "Hey look is that guy over there hoverin over some water and turning loaves to fishes or did I just take one too many hits off the Persian bong pipe." Is THAT an example of being NON-bigoted? I didn't think Sarah's post was bigoted. However, as a Christian I find your post to be bigoted.
22. #16 why thenyou offer yourself to him
reza shah ,   tehran   (10.16.09)
your 72 and virgin right this is enough punishment any body can stand why more of the sadistic stuff with no painkiller you said before you escaped what Camp? refresh my memory

Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.16.09)
No, not at all. Not everyone has to be like you, you know.
24. even if he is dead they will replace him & buiness as usual
zionist forever   (10.16.09)
With somebody just as hardline and nothing will change in Iran. The ayatollahs will continue to be the ones with all the power and they will do everything needed to male sure they are never overthrown. Thr system survived the loss of Khomeni leader of the revolution and so they will survive just fine without Khamani.

Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (10.16.09)
No. Much, much, much younger and married with children. What is more sadistic than brutalizing the corpses of dead American servicemen? Can you imagine how their families must have felt? I did not escape from any camp (although I have the odd time or two in the past been tempted to escape from summer camp). My parents, however, are both Jewish concentration camp survivors. Guess your brain is more than just a little scrambled -- drugs, alcohol are SUCH a bad idea. Consider your memory refreshed. Don't worry about forgetting again -- I'll remind you once more in a few hours. Or perhaps you should write it down. Miss the peacock throne much, do you, Reza Shah?

AY_Lamb ,   Globestan   (10.16.09)
way, I am so proud of you. Now let me explain why it is bigoted. Right now the United States of America has embarked on a culture war fueled by clerics that often use sound bites and slogans that are disingenuous, unscrupulous, inaccurate and quite frankly hypocritical. Example, Rev. Rod Parsely spiritual adviser to McBush "America's destiny is to destroy Islam". These epithets and pejoratives are fabricated to give a moral impetus and indeed a righteous imperative to something that is quite frankly forbidden and that thing is "murder". Now, history clearly shows that in Christian cultured areas violence is indeed permissible and even encouraged in the name of righteous indignation. Now given the supposition that a certain amount of proselytizing "witnessing" and a certain amount of animus towards ones opponent is natural and unavoidable as creatures imbibed with consciousness we are obligated to fulfill our portion of the "covenant" or "obligatory agreement" by using the consciousness to at least be accurate. If you look at the term "gook" employed repeatedly during the Vietnam War one can see that this word is an appellation of the Korean words Han-guk and Mi-guk which aren't pejorative per se but, when used inaccurately to dehumanize, we must pause to consider the ramifications in the context of the covenant in which Christians now claim. Use of the word "virgin", "immaculate conception" or indeed "hypostatic union" etc. etc. in “Christian terms” or a “Christian sense” or a “Christian context” are openly adored and honored certainly; certainly not used as a means to discriminate, criticize or "murder" even though many “non-Christians” disagree with those concepts based on the perceived lack of verisimilitude . Now when individuals like Sarah allude to “sending one to” or advocating “one to see their "72 virgins" these suggestions are quite obviously albeit thinly veiled or concealed negative implications 1. They are wishing for ones death and 2. There is an accusation or suggestion of a sexual deviance All these adds up to an attempt to formulate an equation to assist in a dehumanization of the Islamic portion of the Human Race (in this example) Problems with this are twofold, since Islam and Christianity are portrayed (by their adherents) to be successions to the Mosaic covenant this results in fueling “persecution beliefs or feelings of unavoidable persecution” and “righteous indignation” or on the Islamic side “Qital” or Fitna” or “Kafir” It is all outside the parameters of the “Covenant” in which these groups claim to uphold If you are going to claim a “Jewish identity” or a “Jewish companionship” then try to adhere to the paradigm of the “covenant” and if you are one of these Christians that hold disdain for “that which has been superseded” then I would suggest you view your Jesus as that which he was in mortal form a “Arab” and stop with the hate.
