In 1979 Iran took the American Embassy hostage. Then they sponsored Hizb’Allah’s kidnapping of Americans in Lebanon in the 80′s. Now in an ironic turn about, 48 Iranians are being held by the Muslim Brotherhood/al-Qaeda affiliated Free Syrian Army. The Syrian Jihadists claim they are members of the terror sponsoring Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Syrian rebels said a group of people captured near Damascus included members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, as fighting raged outside the capital and in Aleppo, according to a video broadcast by Al Arabiya.
The claim conflicted with Iranian descriptions of the abducted people as pilgrims. Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi urged Turkey and Qatar, two countries that have backed the Syrian opposition, to help release the group, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The agency said that 48 pilgrims were abducted.
The video broadcast by Al Arabiya television showed the Iranians sitting under a flag of the rebel Free Syria Army and surrounded by men carrying weapons. One rebel officer, who wasn’t identified, said several of the Iranians belonged to the Revolutionary Guard. The authenticity of the video couldn’t be confirmed.
Shiite Muslim-led Iran has been one of the few regional allies of President Bashar al-Assad’s government, which is dominated by officials from the Alawite sect, affiliated with Shiite Islam. Turkey and Qatar, two largely Sunni Muslim states, have backed the opposition. The rebels are largely drawn from the Sunni majority.
What goes around comes around. Iran is getting a taste of its own medicine. The Middle East is self destructing and I, for one, could not be happier!

Just some religious Pilgrims passing through on their way to Mecca
Hot Jihadi on Jihadi action! I guess it is too much to hope for that they kill each other off..
@ Iron Fist:
I’ll laugh if the Iranians get beheaded.
I just love this stuff.

The muzz vs muzz violence is a wonderful spotlight on the lie of islamic tolerance.
If they so willing to enter allah’s cosmic bordello to murder and commit other unspeakable acts of violence againstfellow muslims whose crime is only an approach to islam just a bit different then their own. What should outright unbelievers expect?

Is there any war, these clowns don’t want to get involved with?
@ Guggi:
The Obama administration response was that things weren’t as heated with Iran in 2010 as they are now.
BULL.SHIT.

Its coming. McCain is a senile over the hill fool. He needs to be put into a retirement home.

He followed that up with “but he’s lying about Romney”.
@ Iron Fist:
Yup.
The initial speaking list for the RNC is out. It has 3 Progressives scheduled, McCain, Huckabee and Condelezza Rice.
On Monday morning, the Republican National Committee announced the first wave of headliners who will be speaking at 2012′s Republican National Convention.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, Ohio Governor John Kasich, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, Senator John McCain, former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and Florida Governor Rick Scott will each be speaking during the August 27-30 convention in Tampa, Fla.

Nope, on the contrary, it is this nation’s official foreign policy to attack Christians to help the Muzzies. This is something both parties support. This nation’s foreign policy is anti-Christian.

I bet he’s thinking of that way as we speak. Nevermind the fact White Supremacists/Nazis are Socialists and believe redistributing wealth for Whites. Charles is too stupid to understand why the Tea party and Nazis are ideologically incompatible.

Ted Cruz will be on the Supreme Court one day. I read his bio and he knows Constitutional Law in an out. He would school John Roberts.

My muzz convert sister in-law brought up Timothy McVeigh when we were talking “terrorism” in 2005 or 2006. I think this conversation happen before she came out as a muzz. She was still playing the role of a Catholic married to a muzz.
