Iranians with that hegemonic mentality are no better than some Saudi wahhabis who think that Saudi Arabian people have a moral authority over all Muslims.
you should listen to yourself....
Is that so, where have you distilled this "hegemonic mentality" from?
whether you like it or not, Bahrain is a sovereign country. Accept this reality
I don't accept the authority of the Shah to begin with. The fact that he signed a contract with Britain to give away Bahrain, has no value to me. However, you will find no official say we should claim Bahrain or anything similar. So you shouldn't make up nonsense based on God knows what. If there is any regional country where we have not bothered getting involved in at all, it is Bahrain. Had we armed them (I wish), you'd see some people shooting back at the Saudi soldiers in Bahrain, and not get shot in the face (according to medical reports, most deaths among protesters are close up frontal face shots). As for propaganda, there is no need for that either. The Bahraini people are our natural allies, without us needing to lift a finger.
second of all, don't go on some tagent about ''religious doctrine''.........I wonder where Iran was during the Azerbaijan-Armenia war? Did you back Azeris or did you back Armenians?
something to ponder about.
It's actually a good example of why, the previous thing you said is total nonsense. Namely that we're only voicing support for Bahrain because they're shi'a, Lol. Since you're unable to get that from our support for the people of Egypte, and our
very good relations with Ikhwan-Al-Muslimeen. The Azarbajani republic has a dictator at its helm, one that is severely anti-islamic. Their anti-islamic mentality of the ruling elite in Azarbajan republic, is what they inherited from the Soviet communists. The north is very westernized, and non-Muslim, but the south is shi'a. The state has implemented anti-Islamic laws comparable to the nonsense from the Zionist agent Atta Turk.
About half a year ago when the state was about to destroy another mosque, an Iranian scholar warned that if they do, it'll be the drop that will tip the bucket, and he'll declare jihad against the state. So they didn't destroy it anymore.... so much for some background information. Now the war, the Azarbajani dictator has declared full support for the Zionist regime (look it up, also look up the relationship background between the Zionist regime and Azarbajan dictatorship and how far back it goes), he publicly on TV called upon the Azeris of Iran to rise up against Iran and form a unity with their part (look it up), and they were exterminating the Armenians. Had Iran not intervened, Armenia would not have been anymore. Something we can not let happen, as simple as that. It doesn't matter whether they're Christian or not. We true Muslims have a pillar called justice, something we will stand by until the end.
by the way, what's an ''ethnic Iranian'' ??? No such thing exists. Like in our country, you have different ethnic groups united by one nationality (Iranian in your case).
I avoid using the word Persian for several reasons, but go right ahead. They're Arabic speaking ethnic-Persians. Or as the Persian Gulf Semites call them, "ajam".
Bahrainis are Arabs; they speak read and write in Arabic.
There is no such thing as an "Arab". It is not an ethnicity. For example, the Saudi-Arabians are primarily Semites. The idea, in modern history of Arabic speaking countries, to identify oneself by "Arab" comes from Gamel Nasser and Saddam.
If speaking/reading/writing Arabic makes one an Arab, then Iran must be an Arab country.
Not to mention the 79 other languages spoken in Iran. Before making more ridicolous statements, look up the history of the Persian Gulf litorral states, what their
ethnicities are (Note: not language), and what those places were before the Persian empire.
I think its a big problem how Sunni-Shiia thing exists simply because of the beliggerance of 2 countries and their bad history; Iran and Saudi Arabia....Beliggerance which of course is being fanned and promoted by outside interests.
You're not very smart are you? If the saudi entity is Muslim, then I must be Christian. When the Saudi monarch pores money into Afghanistan and Pakistan for building wahhabi schools, they're not doing that because they're worried about your state of faith, it is their way of expanding influence. The rate at which the shi'a are spreading in middle-eastern countries, threatens this influence. You can believe what you want, but faith does not expand through force. We don't spend time feeding poor Pakistanis and Afghanis, who don't know the first thing about Islam, in the hopes of fully brainwashing them to be wahhabi.
The saudi entity thinks we're directly involved in the resentment of their people for them (and not the fact that they have thousands of people in dungeons) and for the spread of the shi'a (and not word of mouth), and the west uses this stupidity to instigate them.
