Grand Ayatollah Says High Speed Internet Is "Against Moral Standards"
An anonymous reader writes A Grand Ayatollah in Iran has determined that access to high-speed and 3G Internet is "against Sharia" and "against moral standards." However, Iran's President, Hassan Rouhani, plans to renew licenses and expand the country’s 3G cellular phone network. A radical MP associated with the conservative Resistance Front, warned: “If the minister continues to go ahead with increasing bandwidth and Internet speed, then we will push for his impeachment and removal from the cabinet.” “We will vigorously prevent all attempts by the [communication] minister to expand 3G technology, and if our warnings are not heeded, then the necessary course of action will be taken,” he added.
will be for faster Internet. I know with their rule here in Seattle, Internet access is pitiful. I have 192 kbps at home and many of my friends are still stuck on dial-up. The DINOs that run this city hate the Internet and are doing everything they can to keep us from having it.
Apparently you aren't up on the latest research, which puts you behind the times.

Read the comments on that page. The "fact" is foggy at best. Don't let that stop you though. Hypocriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.
In that system, anything can mean anything with enough twisting.
In general, there are 4 stages to Islamic conquest.
1) When they are a tiny minority they only want to live, and worship, in peace.
2) Once they are a bigger minority, they start demanding special laws to respect their religion and culture. This is happening in many European nations right now. These special laws may directly oppose fundamental rights in western countries.
3) Once they are a sizable minority: they drop the mask, and the gloves come off. Time to violently overthrow the existing religion and culture. This has been going on throughout Islamic history. This is going on in Thailand right now.
4) Once Muslims are in charge, it is no different than any other mid-east nation.
Even getting to stage 2 is too much for many Americans. Lots of Americans do not want to give up stuff like freedom of speech, or freedom of press, freedom of religion.
