"The Madrid Police Department has stated that the murder took place a day after Farhangi had a dispute with a woman who had been putting up propaganda posters in defence of the Islamic Republic in the district of Alcobendas."
"Murder in Spanish capital by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry?" from Iran Focus:
London, Mar. 25 – Iran’s ultra-secretive Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) has once again found itself under the limelight after it was accused of involvement in the murder of an Iranian intellectual in Spain.
Manouchehr Farhangi, 82, was murdered in La Moraleja, a suburb of the Spanish capital Madrid, on 19 March.
Evidence from a Spanish female eye-witness suggests that an unidentified woman fatally stabbed Farhangi at his doorstep and quickly fled the scene.
Local Spanish press reported that an autopsy found that he had been stabbed three times in the stomach.
Police camera footage from the vicinity of the murder indicated that the female suspect was between the age of 28 and 30.
Spanish police believe that the murder might have been politically motivated, and there have been suggestions in the press that Iran’s notorious Intelligence Ministry might have orchestrated the attack.
The Madrid Police Department has stated that the murder took place a day after Farhangi had a dispute with a woman who had been putting up propaganda posters in defence of the Islamic Republic in the district of Alcobendas.
Farhangi was born into a Zoroastrian family in 1926 in the south-eastern Iranian province of Kerman. Prior to the 1979 Islamic revolution, he founded one of Iran’s biggest pharmaceutical companies. In 1980, in Spain he founded the International College Spain (ICS), and later won the European Council for International Schools (ECIS) prize for the Promotion of International Education. He has two children.

Jihad against Octagenarian Kufirs Who Dare to Criticize Dar al-Islam.
And of course my offer still stands. The attacker is unknown, and could theoretically be from any religion. I bet the attacker will turn out to be from Islam ... all proceeds go to JW/DW ... and so on and so forth.

"Murder in Spanish capital by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry?
----
They have an INTELLIGENCE AGENCY??!!!! They're so intelligent that they had me fooled.
They should use that agency to distribute some of that severely lacking commodity among moslems world-wide.
Mankind would be better off for it.
And we uncompromising kind who'd rather fight than perish would no longer have need to win the unwinnable hearts and minds of our liEberal brethren and compatriots who are islam-bent on giving away the store.
PS. If obama gets in the White House you can and WILL expect HUGE UNPRECEDENTED WAVES OF MOSLEMS "immigrating" to this country.
nuff said.

Spain’s intelligence folks we likely at a bullfight or football match, whilst this poor geriatric was murdered in the name of Allah…
Yep, you said it, Barak Obama, is the, now, new darling of Islam; if he, G-d forbid, becomes president it will open the floodgates! When hearing the media-ites worm and squirm in near orgasmic glee over Obama the new Messiah, I honestly have to take an antacid. Are the voters of America, so, daft as to give this treacherous weenie the presidency?

sorry about the double post. I got a message that I had posted to much, which is crap. I haven't posted in three weeks and very rarely before that.
Posted by: leeve at March 26, 2008 6:30 PM
forget it, my posts were removed. I guess asking questions about Obama's now and previous faith is not allowed. PC

Leeve - it was off-topic, which is why I deleted them both.

In a world too small to isolate ourselves, and a culture too timid and introspective to fight with the ferocity required to send a clear message, the message that we will not be subjugated, we may all be destined to become combatants.
I have no way to know if it is true that "the meek shall inherit the earth". That final outcome, at this point, is a matter of faith.
In the meantime, those restrained by neither conscience nor good men will most certainly have their way with it.

How disgusting murdering a defenceless old man.
Why are the Iranians getting away with these crimes?
at March 26, 2008 6:46 PM
No problem. I can only hope Spencer will deal with my questions sometime in the future. They were about Islam and our country's perspected leader. I thought I might get some answers here. I can't seem to get them anywhere.
Sorry for the inconvience.

as for topic. Same old sh*t. Muslims think they are above question and everyone is afraid to even think about questioning them and Islam. They fear dying for voicing free speech and living with free will. Yet they celebrate dying as long as they kill in the name of Allah. Islam is a cult with 1.6 bill followers, nothing more.

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is quite likely the 'intelligence' organization behind this recent murder of Fahrangi in Madrid as well as countless other jihadi slayings across the planet. The IRG's reach, it has gone without saying for too long, is global.
Although the particulars have yet to be determined (or at least revealed to the general public) in this slaying, it is entirely possible and believable that the Iranian mullahs and their Revolutionary Guard are behind Farhangi's slaying.
Who else would want to see this man dead except some fanatical, orthodox ayatollah from Farhangi's Iranian homeland and bent on jihad warfare for the sake of al-lah?

-- from the article above
There is a lot in that paragraph to think about.
First, that Farhangi, an exile from Iran ever since Khomeini came to power, had been under the Shah’s regime, able to exercise his abilities without fear of mistreatment by Muslims, and “founded one of Iran’s biggest pharamaceutical companies.” What happened to that company? Taken over by Muslimc clerics perhaps? Who is that company doing?
And what about those remaining Zoroastrians? One doesn’t here enough about them, or about Mary Boyce, the historian of Zoroastrians, who lived with them, in Ira, and observed what they endured from neighboring Muslims, even during the Shah’s regime. How many are there? How are they faring? And what is the likelihood that, among the disaffected in Iran, some will return to Zoroastrianism to provide their identity, since so many Muslims eager to jettison Islam can’t do it unless they find a substitute?
Frahangi, a year into his exile, “founded the International College” in Spain. Does that sound like something a Muslim could do – found not a Muslim school but an “International College”? He “later won the European Council for International Schools prize for the Promotion of International Education.” Does that sound like something a Muslim could do, or is there some reason why that would be highly unlikely?
What is it about Farhangi’s life, as well as his death, that makes us unsurprised to learn that he was not a Muslim exile, but a Zoroastrian?

America calls on it's friends and allies, for further support. In the face of terror, we battle with no end, and will continue, until all have vanquished.

And "IF" the Iranians are found responsible what will be the response of the EC and NATO ?
Will EC/NATO airspace, waters and ports be closed to Iran ?
Will Iranian students be expelled ?
Will Iranian diplomatic missions be reduced in size (as we did to the USSR, in the Cold war) ?
Will Iranian goods/companies be barred ?
Will EC/Nato companies be barred from trading with Iran ?
Of course not, that would be bad for "Business"

I've worked with refugees and many are disaffected with Islam.
I suspect Zoroastrianism will have more legitamacy than Christianity.
Why aren't we beaming broadcasts into this area, like we did with the communist east?

"Iran's Intelligence Ministry" - To easy to make a joke here. And the situation is too sad for laughter.

Iran's intelligence service may have been involved but the Spanish offer no proof. The man had a beef with a woman about politics and was later murdered by a woman with a knife. I think I would look for the woman first and then work my way up if thats where it goes. Just an odd item with a lot of blanks to fill.
