ISIS takes half of Syria

[The Comrade]

95% of islamic terrorism is because of saudi arabia. 95% of instability inf islamic areas is caused by saudi arabia. 95% of the funding for islamic terrorism is from saudi arabia.

iran is nothing at all like the saudis. they carry out terrible acts of sabotage and fund rebel groups for their own regional hegemony and to stymie the saudis. the saudis do it because 99% of the world doesn't adhere to their belief system.

one is opportunistic, the other is cartoonishly evil.

You need too look in the mirror, bud. All you have done is tap dance around facts, and talked out of your ass the whole time. And cried racism, which is the hallmark of a intellectual lightweight.

Again outright falsehoods,. And again, take your own advise.

Iran: After the 1979 overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty by the Islamic Revolution, the system was greatly altered. The legal code is now based on Islamic law or sharia, although many aspects of civil law have been retained, and it is integrated into a civil law legal system.

Saudi Arabia: The legal system of Saudi Arabia is based on Sharia, Islamic law derived from the Qu'ran and the Sunnah (the traditions) of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

Oh my gawd, they're worlds apart.

Different Religious beliefs:

The group now known as Sunnis chose Abu Bakr, the prophet's adviser, to become the first successor, or caliph, to lead the Muslim state. Shiites favored Ali, Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law. Ali and his successors are called imams, who not only lead the Shiites but are considered to be descendants of Muhammad.

Oh my, Exploited doesn't know the about Islam's sects. Pretty much par for the course.

Political systems:
Saudis:
The politics of Saudi Arabia takes place in the context of an absolute monarchy, where the King of Saudi Arabia is both head of state and the head of government, but decisions are, to a large extent, made on the basis of consultation among the senior princes of the royal family and the religious establishment. The Qur'an is declared to be the constitution of the country, which is governed on the basis of Islamic law (Shari'a).

Iran:
Iran has an elected president, parliament (or Majlis), and an "Assembly of Experts" (which elects the Supreme Leader), and local councils. According to the constitution all candidates running for these positions must be vetted by the Guardian Council before being elected.

In addition there are representative elected of appointed organizations (usually under Supreme Leader's control) trying to "protect the state's Islamic character".[1]

So one state has no illusions of democracy, while the other state maintains the illusions of a representative democracy, but it's really not.

Hey, you got this right, Exploited.

Different language, culture, and ethnic identity.
That's why a pivot towards Iran for stability and favorable geopolitical outcomes in the Middle East, is absolutely f**k retarded.
You know, since the Middle East is compromised mainly by 136.14 million Arabs.
