Every Picture Tells a Story

WILL ALLAH EXTREMISTS BUY INTO MANNERLY MUSLIM APPEAL?

First, remember that Allah permits Muslims to lie to further the Muslim cause of Islam World Rule. Therefore, Muslims will reach out in an appearance of peace in order to lull the enemy into thinking that Muslims are telling the truth. The enemy buys into that reach out and then is taken in by the Allah condoned lie.

















Last Tango in Tehran

Russia has no wish to alienate Iran .
Iran has kept out of Russia's military conflict in Chechnya and has not intervened in either the Caucasus or Central Asia.
Russia wants to keep it that way, and also to protect its own commercial interests in Iran.
On this basis, to be seen to back even a hypothetical attack on Iran by the Americans would be suicidal.
Which is not to say that Russia would side with Iran in any military conflict. “An American pilot hit by a Russian-made rocket would not be in Russia's interest,” comments Dmitri Trenin, deputy director of the Carnegie Centre in Moscow.
This is also why, for all his apparent friendliness, Mr Putin trod carefully in Tehran. He went out of his way to explain that his visit was planned five years ago as part of a five-country summit, not a bilateral trip. He did not pledge Russian support for Iran in case of a military attack, and he refused to set a date for the delivery of the nuclear fuel for the Bushehr nuclear reactor complex that Russia has helped Iran complete. “I only gave promises to my mother when I was a little boy,” Mr Putin sneered in answer to an Iranian journalist.
Mr Putin's visit to Tehran is an example of the sort of independent foreign policy that the Kremlin favours these days. When Mr Putin telephoned George Bush immediately after the September 11th, 2001 attacks he made the choice to ally Russia's interests with those of America.
That alliance no longer holds. Russia may not be with Iran, but it is not with America and Europe either.
It continues to oppose missile defences in Poland and the Czech Republic , not because they threaten Russia's own nuclear capacity, but because they do not sit with the Kremlin's world view.
“What Russia craves is respect. It does not want to be a junior partner—it wants to be an equal,” says Mr Trenin.
That makes Russia less ready than it once was to cede to Western pressures.
Russia is, of course, entitled to pursue its own interests. What is less clear is whether it will serve these in the longer term by distancing itself from the West.
An aggressive energy policy in Europe has backfired as the Europeans look for ways to protect themselves from Gazprom, Russia's state-owned gas giant. Mr Putin's independent foreign policy thus carries its own risks.
