5000 Iranian Clerics Headed to the U. S.
2005-11-23
According to BBC Persian and Persian service of IRNA, the hardline ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi has announced that the Iranians living in the US need 5000 Islamic clerics for their religious services.
Mesbah Yazdi asks the new Iranian government to finance their trainings!
This hardline ayatollah is known as the founder of the shiite version of Taliban in Iran.

#3  Is the USS Vincennes in the Gulf? They have *cough* some experience in dealing with this problem.

#1  This is a move in an internal struggle between two alliances of Ayatollahs (Yazdi is a mentor of the current President).

Actually, at least 95% of all the Iranians in the US are anti regime and the only reason they would have these clerics is to pelt them with rotten vegetables.
