All of this does not mean that there are necessarily radicals and moderates within the clerical regime in Teheran.

Anti American sentiment is one of the strongest cards those wretched clerics hold.

The seals were found in a large burial mound that was believed to have been built for wealthy or religious people.

At dawn, police officers threatened Saleh,Yasser's brother, saying they would crash his cars if he doesn't give them Yasser's ID.

These concerns were reflected in the fact that the Society of Combatant Clergy, a conservative body, was unable to endorse Ahmadinejad s candidacy.

Wahhabi clerics, for example, call for jihad against the Shia heretics promising the rewards of heaven.

Iran s 1979 revolution did away with the pro American, undemocratic regime of the Shah, bringing in its place the anti American, undemocratic regime of the clerics.
