#1 Great post forzen al - haven't seen that site before.

A couple days ago I explained how a terrorist group in Turkey called Tawhid-Salam, which is behind several attacks and assassinations in recent years, is really a wholly owned subsidiary of Iranian intelligence. It serves as a cut-out for the notorious Pasdaran, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, which is recognized by the U.S. Government as a terrorist group.

Would revolutionary Shia Iran really support Sunni terrorists? Yes, Tehran certainly would — and does. The Pasdaran has been backing Sunni jihadists, including Al-Qa’ida (AQ), since at least the beginning of the 1990’s

Certainly there has been a detectable relationship between Tehran and “AQ Central” since 1996 at least, a fact which is well known to intelligence services worldwide.

#2 To Fred, the mods, or anyone who has the answer:

In the above post the apostrophes are replaced by �™, yet in the preview the apostrophes displayed properly. Does anyone know why?

#3 What if we stopped arguing over irrelevant details, and started showing Muslims that Jihad has a price tag?

#4 They are inadvertent 'key word' cyber coding cues. Fred permits them to remain as reminders to us that this site is constantly being surveilled. Don't be alarmed Chuck, we take them as high praise.

#5 As a rule of thumb, if somebody tells you that everything you know about a subject is wrong, he's probably wrong.

#6 In the above post the apostrophes are replaced by ��tm�, yet in the preview the apostrophes displayed properly. Does anyone know why?

It's a recent problem, Chuck, related to single and double quotation marks, apostrophes, and some commas. We get more than just that squares-and-TM thingy in some cases. Fred's been trying to track it down. Were I feeling paranoid I'd wonder if it was something the major news sites do to annoy us small fry, but perhaps it's only an incompatibility of upgrades somehow.

Bright Pebbles and I clean 'em up as we see them and have the time, which isn't nearly as often as we'd like.

#7 Chuck, Fred's working on his new novel. He'll code up a fix to the mojibake eventually. Meanwhile, hate mail to Bill Gates would be helpful.

#8 Does anyone know why?

Yeah, all part of an international conspiracy to sap and impurify our precious interwebs.

Would revolutionary Shia Iran really support Sunni terrorists?

Oh, hell yes. Alliances are much more fluid in the Arab world. Sure the Shias and the Sunnis hate each other and would happily fight to the death. But they hate infidels, Jews and Crusaders (that would be you and me) even more. I against my brother. My brother and I against the family. My family against the clan...
