| #15 You all make some great (and hilarious) points, but I think Anonymous had definitely nailed it. Iran is making a full-time job of seeing how far they can push the British--not good. |

| #14 I believe its a trojan horse. It would make England part of the holy muslim empire and would be grounds for jihad. Take back the holy land! |

| #13 Maybe the should erect a memorial to the Iranian expats killed in the UK by the Mullahs' assassination squads. Just a thought. |

| #11 Hmmm ... a truckload or two of coffins would be a very opportune way to move a large amount of material. Particularly if said coffins were destined for an embassy which might prevent their being searched. Hmmm .... |

| #10 Use trebuchets to launch pig carcasses in embassy grounds then declare it an infidel holy site. |

| #9 1. Reject the plan due to "building codes." 2. Counter propose that the martyrs be reburied in the north sea. 3. Authorize paddle boat tours for the entertainment of the Iranian expats. |

| #7 Howard UK, what's a wind-up? A leg puller? |

| #6 Is this story a wind-up? One glaring difference is that UK soldiers buried in the UK diplomatic compound in Tehran died on Iranian soil (presumably Post WW1). How many Iranians died on UK soil in the 1980-88 war? Precisely zip. Britain has one of the largest ex-pat communities in the world - how about digging up some anonymous remains from WW1/WW2 and distributing them to our embassies around the Middle East so expats can do something on a Sunday. Daoud Ghiasirad.. said there was nothing unusual in the request Nothing unusual for these culturally domineering Pigfuckers. |

| #5 Cuz they're Muslims, and everybody knows Muslims be extra-sensitive. Super-extra-sentitive. Heavily hyphenated, they are. And they might seethe, if you're not careful. LOL! RantBurg home of MuckSpeak & LuckSpeak! |

| #4 Here in the US Iranians are usually exiles from the mad Mullahs, and have engaged in frequent demonstrations against the Islamofascist regime. They also run middle eastern restaurants where you never see fundamentalist dress, and where you can feel safe even talking about Israel. Last one i went to had a charity box for the Student movement (the antigovt group) Also they got that pomegranate juice, before it was fashionable. |

| #3 This really does take the piss. Most expatriate Iranians are here in the UK for fear of persecution at home. HILARIOUS! |

| #2 WTF? This is so, um, Monty Python-ish... Oh, they're Muslims. No matter whether you're gonna cave like a souffle in an earthquake, the usual response to Muslim sensitivities, or (as a sane person would hope) tell 'em to bugger off, you'll have to be extra-polite. Cuz they're Muslims, and everybody knows Muslims be extra-sensitive. Super-extra-sentitive. Heavily hyphenated, they are. And they might seethe, if you're not careful. And we wouldn't want any seething, now would we? Hmmmm? |

| #1 "Iranians across Europe told us that they wanted to commemorate those who defended Iran, and they wanted a place to go on Sundays," How about back to fuckin' IRAN! |
