So let me get this straight. "Hizbollah" (sic.) is, according to you Roy, on the far left of the political spectrum??? WOW!!! It sure is a shame that nobody told them about this!!!



The following extract may, or may not, prove instructive, either way, I cannot be held responsible for your ability, or lack thereof, to grasp the historical and polictical realities of the world we live in.
"In fact, the Islamic Republican forces did supervise Hezbollah. Hojjat al-Islam Hadi Ghaffari, "a young protegee of Khomeini," being in charge of them. Hezbollah was instrumental in the Islamic Cultural Revolution against SECULARISTS and MODERNISTS at Iran's universities.
After Friday prayers on 18 April 1980, Khomeini harshly attacked the universities. `We are not afraid of economic sanctions or military intervention. What we are afraid of is Western universities and the training of our youth in the interests of West or East.` His remarks served as a signal for an attack that evening on the Tehran Teachers Training College. One student was reportedly lynched, and according to a British correspondent, the campus was left looking like `a combat zone.` THE NEXT DAY, HEZBOLLAHIS RANSACKED LEFT-WING STUDENT OFFICES AT SHIRAZ UNIVERSITY. SOME 300 STUDENTS REQUIRED HOSPITAL TREATMENT. Attacks on student groups also took place at Mashad and Isfahan Universities"` Attacks continued April 21 and "the next day at the Universities at Ahwaz and Rasht. Over 20 people lost their lives in these university confrontations. ... The universities closed soon after the April confrontation for Islamization`. They were not to open for another two years."
