Terrorist Attack - Breaking (not really breaking). Iran

It is not a daily occurrence in Iran. While it isn't a popular regime it is certainly a very stable country with minimal attacks and incidents.

This could be quite a big issue specially with the other changes recently in the Arab area of the region.

The incidents are still ongoing with further casualties being noted although it is very difficult to get confirmed news from Iran!
 
It's true actually that Saudi Arabia funds Isis and other similar groups as well as tries to export their poisonous ideology to Western countries such as Germany. At least this is what the Independent says:

and: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...ahhabism-qatar-kuwait-islamists-a7473551.html

In my opinion we need strong action against Saudi Arabia and other similar countries instead of supporting them and giving them boat loads of weapons which they seem to like to use on innocents in Yemen: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-air-strikes-take-terrible-toll-a6797871.html

This would be a good first step if we really want to be effective against the terrorist threat. Iran may also be a repressive regime, but with a comparatively moderate reformer in power for many years now and the nuclear deal, I think they are very much the lesser threat. When was the last time a Shia terrorist attacked the West?

My condolences to the people of Iran, it's another awful attack against innocent people in a long line of such attacks perpetrated by Sunni Islamic extremists.

it appears to me that Iran have very little to do with any interference of terrorist activity in the West, While Saudi arabia seem to be the source of so many problems with their brand or fiery islam

yet Iran seem to be pilloried and we suck up to the saudis?

Not entirely true. Have a look at who bank rolls or provides training to certain groups. The attacks might not occur in the West but they're against western targets or interests

This does seem to be changing though and hopefully that change continues.
 
Op race baiting, shameful!

Terrorism on any soil is worthy of outcry but on homesoil it drills home how vulnerable you and your loved ones are and as such will illicit a far stronger emotional response.

We are all human, it's sickening that people try and imply that because you don't stand and shout at the top of your voice about somthing or because you openly question a religion/belief system that you must somehow value other lives as less than or inferior. Since when did our right as human beings to challenge other view points make us bad people.
 
Oh ****... This could be bad. We've only felt the regurgitated nonsense of wahhabist terror, if Iran and Saudi Arabia are to up their game against each other, we will be in for some very serious attacks.

And all if it will blamed on Iran in spectacular willful ignorance. The last thing Britain needs right now is a massive increase in oil prices as an aside.

All the more interesting is a particular comment by the probable heir to the throne and current minister for defense, has said this
http://www.thenational.ae said:
Prince Mohammed framed the rivalry, which has played out via proxy forces in Syria and Yemen, in theological terms, and said that Tehran’s ultimate aim is to wrest control of Islam’s holiest site in Mecca. "We won’t wait for the battle to be in Saudi Arabia," he said, without elaborating on policies. "Instead, we will work so that the battle is for them in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia."

I see there is no outrage of a terrorist attack due to the majority of victim faces not being white and due to the fact this has happened outside of the west, typical OCUK forum.....

You gave it a whole 11 minutes, at 8am in the morning before getting upset?

nothing to do with them being white but that is didn't occur in the west is pretty relevant as to why there is less news/outrage...

I believe it's because IS have claimed response for it and the OP is referencing the Saudi backing of IS. So not direct Saudi action but not unreasonable of the OP to ask why we always support IS's biggest national sponsor. (Unless Qatar is bigger which it might be).
