One of Iran's most prominent dissident clerics, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, has died aged 87.
Hossein Ali Montazeri was a moving spirit in the 1979 revolution which created Iran's Islamic state, and was at one stage set to become its leader. His fierce criticism of the slaughter by Khomeini in his prisons - ended in his being "banned" and theoretically "demoted".
Announcing his death, the Mullah regime refused to even give him an Ayatollah title let alone his true Grand Ayatollah one, mentioning him only by his name.
One of Shia Islam's most respected figures, he was also a leading critic of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and consequently the lunatic, Hojatieh sect 12th Imam leader, Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi (nicknamed "crocodile").

No, it is utterly ridiculous nonsense, muslims are a tiny and unpopular minority in the US and are going to remain so for your and my entire lifetimes. Put down the crack pipe. Klavan is fiction.

I've been studying radical Islam since the early 1980s; Teheran in the late 70s was all the indication I needed that radical Islam was the next threat after communism was defeated. You hysterical latecomers need to learn from those of us who've actually studied the subject seriously for decades - not the other way around.
