    Ha! Their holiest day of the week.

    Apparently Trump had messaged before arriving something to the tune of:

    "I'm American. I won't eat your food. I want steak, fries and lots of ketchup."

    What is?

    That's how these fucking cowardly Shi'a cuntos work.

    State sponsored terrorism and military proxies.

    They know if they tried taking on Israel like men, they'd be one big fucking glass plain.

    ^^ So you are saying that

    A bungling Iranian bomber blew off his own legs when he hurled a grenade at Thai police outside a Bangkok school
    was an attack by Iran on Thailand.

    With so much weapons there is a risk that they will declare defense on neighbor countries.

    If someone launches a military style attack on another country in a third country, does that not count for you then?

    Or are you just being deliberately obtuse so you can make some kind of irrelevant point that the Iranians are all jolly nice chaps?

    If so, you're a fucking idiot.

    Sigh! One Iranian. Really! With all things of the recent past "behavior" considered, is that all you've got against Iran? Have you no citizen shame, whatsoever? Huh? The idiocy is definitely on your rednecked part.

    Oh the irony...

    At least Iraq is in Iran's immediate neighborhood...unlike others who are/were in Iraq.

    Off by one day.

    The holy day of the week for Muslims is Friday. In the Arabic language, the word for Friday means a special type of prayer. On this day, Muslims are expected to come together to pray at their mosques.


    A few years back Saudi switched their weekend days from Thurs./Fri. to Fri./Sat. and it throws me off b/c now they're also treating Sat. as if it's the holiest day of the week. Longer prayers, different incantations, verses, etc.

    They are stoking the fire in Lebanon, in Syria, in Jemen. Support and sending fighters, even if they don't wear uniform.
