I’ve never been to Iran. I would have liked to have visited Iran but that was before the mullahs took over.
One of my close friends during my undergrad engineering days in Nagpur was an Iranian named Ibrahim Akbar Shahi from Isfahan. After he finished his engineering degree, he and his Iranian girlfriend continued to stay on in India in Pune. I lost touch with him when I went to the US for my PhD studies at Rutgers University.
I remember one of Ibrahim’s observations. He said that he found Indian Muslims to be rabid and disgustingly intolerant. He was a Muslim of course as most Iranians were, but he said that Iranians were relaxed about their faith. Then the Ayatollahs took over.
I have a visceral hatred of war. I am a card-carrying pacifist. The military-industrial complex (MIC) that President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about in his farewell speech of 1961 has not been heeded. The MIC has bought and paid for the US Congress — Democrats and Republicans alike. With the rare exception of the likes of Thomas Massie and Rand Paul, all of the Congress-critters are despicable degenerates.
I don’t carry water for Israel although I have deep respect and regard for Jews. All of my PhD advisors were Jews and we became friends. I want Israel to survive as a Jewish homeland just as I want India to survive as a Hindu, Jain and Buddhist homeland. The Muslims have 57+ countries to call their own and so do Christians have many nations. But the Jews and we Hindus have only one place to call home.
I want India to be the Hindu/Jain/Buddhist homeland just as much as I want Israel to be the homeland for the Jews. I value diversity. I want the world to be diverse. More about that later.
The Iranians appear ready to liberate themselves after 47 years of Islamic terrorist regime of the ayatollahs — with a little help from the US and Israel. I hope they succeed, not just for themselves but it may be the beginning of the end of the terrorist cult of Islam.
Thank you, good night and may your god go with you.
