bhai sahb dhoom machana maksad nahi. we need to get our concepts clear here. This person wants to do something about this geo political situation in mid east. he is sick and tired of bullies like saudi arabia as well. He aims israel justifiably for atrocities. but he has alot of enemies, both inside and outside his country. This contender mousovi or whatever wants to get rid of ahmedinajad because of his religiosity and the effect his stance has on iranian economy. This bloody mousovi is not concerned about state of muslimhood in the world. he wants to get the economical figures right. and alot of contemporary modern iranians dont like that either, just like alot of people in urban centres of pakistan would not like the actual islam in its context cuz this relaxed westernized FUN culture is just very convenient, and we enjoy it. someone like ahmadinajad coming on top is certainly bad news. I know and work with a lot of iranians as well. funny enough, being from urban pakistan, i am in a position to compare urban societies in both countries. And guess what, the modern iran is actually more westernized then us. ( i thought i was quite westernized, but nothing compared to the groups of iranians i have come across).. and then i got friends who still work in iran. and yes, they hate ahmadinajad to their guts. but then thats the same lot of iranians i just mentioned. They dont hate ahmedinajad for his stance, they hate him cuz he doesnt allow FREEDOM (now this word has as many meanings as alphabets). Thats like expecting students from pakistani schools like shuafat and islamabad international to accept leadership of a strict muslim leader....u would laugh, wouldnt u ( please do your google and dhoom stretagy here as well). Are we, as a nation, even ready to contemplate having a president like hazrat umar RA (ok relax guys, i am not trying to compare ahmedinajad with a sahabi!!). I am mentioning his name in context of hard line on islam (as we know from history). So, my friend. its simple. a genuine man wants to achieve something in a bad bad bad world, and in order to do that he has to use aides that are bad as well, and he is fighting against bad as well. and when everyone else is bent upon being bad to him, he just has to use some of these foul tactics as well. being a human there is only so much sanctity you can observe. Fine, you may argue he seeks power, fame, money, women, gold, blah blah. Wait, i dont think he seek women, money, gold, or for that matter fame and power even. Wouldnt it be easier for him to become top US aide, shake hands with israel, and become the biggest game in the region. But he is not doing that. Look at his lifestyle man! simply that gives him a 100 points ahead of everyone else. The iranian opposition uses the pretext that this man has caused considerable damage to iranian economy and INTERESTS at large. now, get real here !!! ahmedinajad is working for a much bigger cause where there is going to be some collateral damage to economy because the bigger world community cant exercise their influence on this president. If these iranians, or the bigger muslim world for that matter, think that they will achieve glory, both in this world and in afterlife, by relaxing in their homes, enjoying their FREEDOMS (again freedom needs to be defined), then yes, they are confusing Glory with Gloria, and its actually Gloria they looking for, and not glory. now if thats how we judge a head of a state, then yes i must say ahmedinajad should go because all muslim nations need leaders like mousovi , and zardari, and king of saudia (the puppets they are) to just stay alive in utmost misery. i can totally understand that.
