Terrorists have attacked the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum and Iranian parliament in two nearly simultaneous incidents:
There have been multiple attacks in the Iranian capital of Tehran, according to state media. A woman was arrested after a bomb attack and shooting spree wounded two people at the Ayatollah Khomeini mausoleum south of the city Wednesday, the semi-official Fars news agency reports. The news agency reported that a second attacker is currently surrounded by security officers.
That attack occurred at the same time as a shooting in the Iranian parliament, in which at least three people were injured after an attacker stormed the building in central Tehran, according to state-run Press TV.
Also at Washington Post, BBC, Reuters, Al Jazeera, and Tehran Times.

Unwarranted I say. Plenty of white supremacist terrorist fucks.
And they're all pretty much the exact same kinda person as you, only more willing to take action. Your ideology sucks, runaway. It sucks so hard.

"same kinda person as you"
Your ignorance is showing.

No, I've seen your posts. I don't mean "conservatism", even if that's descended from "mostly wrong" to "active trying to be wrong about things" over the past 30 years. I mean this identitarian worldview, hinged entirely on flagellating visible differences with other cultures as inherent inferiorities of those cultures, coupled with a fundamentally authoritarian attitude, when given the "right" authorities.
It's indistinguishable except in implementation.

Actually, I don't think I've ever characterized Islam as "inferior" to our way of life. Islam actually has some things going for it, that seem superior to our way. What I have stated, repeatedly, and very clearly, is that Islam is incompatible with the western way of life. Islam is anathema to every judicial system that western man has experimented with, beginning with the Code of Hamarabai, and continuing on through current US Code.
In Islam, there are no rights. There is only submission. Submit to the will of Allah, as interpreted by the leading imams of the time. Submit, or die.
Take the worst of the worst that Christianity has ever been accused of, subtract all of Christianity's best traits, and you have Islam.
People think that the Christian inquisitions were a bad thing. In Saudi Arabia, the inquisitions continue, daily.

Yeah, fine, I get it, your flavour of identitarian exclusionism is totes special and unique to you.

Gotta agree with ikanreed here, you have a lot of decent viewpoints and quite a few good arguments from time to time; but then you sneak in with some weirdly pro-authoritarian garbage from time to time. My guess is it is latent brainwashing from your stint in the military, plus your older generation simply seems to take a lot of authoritarian beliefs for granted. So you probably have no idea and think its just normal. Can the fish see the bowl?
