10 Reasons Why Iran’s Nuclear Program is Hyped…


Iranian Nuclear Site

1- Iran has signed the NPT (Non Proliferation Treaty)

The NPT clearly states that all parties have “an inalienable right to nuclear enrichment”. Iran has been progressing towards nuclear power for over 40 years, which started and supported by the western powers during the days of pro-western dictatorship of Shah.

Individual Comparisons:

Iran:

1- Is a member of the IAEA

2- Iran has signed the Non-proliferation Treat (NPT)

3- The UN and IAEA inspectors have not found any evidence to prove Iran is moving towards building an atomic weapon.

4- Iran has so far abided the UN and its regulations,  cooperated with the IAEA within the guidelines of  Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

5- Has had the most number of  recorded UN inspectors on its sites than any other country  in the world

6- Is not currently a processor or nuclear fuel and does not hold any nuclear weapons

10- Iran accuses Israel of producing second and third generations nuclear war heads and not cooperating with the “international community”

Israel:

2- Israel has NOT signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)

3- Has broken more UN resolutions than any other country in the world

4- Possesses over two hundred ready nuclear war heads.

5- Has move or is moving towards 2nd and 3rd generation nuclear war head technology

6- Is the sole process of nuclear arms in the Middle East

7- Has had history of preemptive attacks against its enemies

8- Israel has previously and currently occupies its neighboring lands.

9- Israel  accuses the Iran of having ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons

10- Israeli leaders have publicly shown their readiness to attack Iran

Further Points:

  • Israel is encourage
  • Iran is feared
    *
  • Israel is held as a friend and an ally
  • Iran is an enemy and part of the “Axis of Evil”
    *
  • Israel accuses Iran of violating human rights within its own country
  • Iran accuses Israel of violating human rights outside its boarders (in Palestine)

The hypocrisy and the double standards in this world are extraordinary. In these hostile times between the two countries and turmoil around the world, we should remind ourselves that if there is no justice in the world, humanity shall never find peace.

Justice will come soon and so will peace between all.

Lets hope!

A Jewish Journalist’s Road to Mecca – Leopold Weiss


“After reading this magnificent book, I am still puzzled as to why such a remarkable personality like Leopold Weiss still remains obscure to both the Western world… Leopold Weiss (1900-1992) later known as Muhammad Asad was a man who has seen and experienced all of the main events of the 20th century at first hand, and has lived to describe it lucidly truly deserves to be on the map of personalities of the last century. His contribution to 20th century societies of the Middle-East is immense. A first class traveller, a journalist, a writer, a philosopher, an adventurer, a statesman, a diplomat, a scholar… at least should be considered on par with Lawrence of Arabia, if not above, for the sole reason that he was involved in the shaping of more than one country, not just Arabia.

Zionists Slap anti-Semitism Label on Swedish Organ Transfer Article


I believe that this article is an act of free speech. The Swedish people, their media and/or their government have done nothing wrong. If the story is fake then the Israeli government should have not reacted as they did. There must be at least an ounce of truth somewhere in this article to spark the issue to such high level.

Nonetheless, if these allegations are true it should make every decent human being sick to the inner most of their stomach. It is almost inevitable that we will be waiting for a long time before the Israelis allow any kind international investigation into the matter, just as they would not and still do not allow any unbiased media to report what really did happen in Gaza or the West Bank.
