Speculation intensifies over Iranian political situation

Iran is rife with speculation that president Mahmoud Ahmadenijad may be about to resign over a feud with the country's supreme leader.

Last month Ahmadinejad sacked Iran's intelligence chief, Heydar Moslehi, in a move that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei quickly overruled.

Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari explains the situation from the Iranian capital, Tehran.

The "Supreme leader" would be in a position to know if people are using "magic"! Second decade of the 21st century & the Iranians, once one of the mightiest & most advanced powers on earth, still go by Dark Age gibberish talks of magic at the highest level of government? This is why religious crazies --- whether they are Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Jew, what-not --- should NEVER be allowed to dictate in society; they act like 3 - 4 year-olds, still believing in magical things & individuals.

[jjbravo1000]

@HenryDavidT yes and they even say you should marry of your daughters before there first period,what these Ayatollahs say is final,everyone should read the little green book Sayings of the Ayatollah Khomeini, to know what these people are all about, it covers how they have to live their lives and it is so nut jobby that most sane people will take it as comedy, If a fly enters the mouth of a person during a period of fasting,he is not forced to take it out, if it has not gone too far down pg.86

What it means is Buddhism isn't an actual religion. If you don't know, worship of ground and tree gods is still common in the far east even where 'buddhism' exists.
