Well, Iran isn't on my list of favorite countries, since we Turks and Iranians were traditionally enemies ever since the Sassanid Empire, though I must say that I really cannot object to its nuclear program while the Jew state practicaly overflows with the nukes hidden in its bowels.
In order to bring about regulations, Israel too must give up its nukes.
And if anyone is really mad about Iran doing stuff, well, the word is the word of the swords until a winner emerges. But until then, a big mushroom cloud might arise over Tel Aviv. Oy vey.

Secular, yeah. Israel is a nation that is build on a ethno-religious identity.
I personally have nothing against Israel, its a state that is built on blood, and anything that is built on blood, is fine in my book. Though I'm pretty sure that they can't hold on forever. Sooner or later, the Arabs will say fuck you to the divisions created by the West to keep Israel alive, and drive the Jews into the sea one by one until there is none left.

Yes, Saudis and a lot of Sunni extremists out there hate Iran. I sometimes watch their shows on youtube dealing with Sunni and Shia theology, its very enlightening, as it generally focuses on portraying the Shia in Iran as heretics and etc. Its nothing new really.
And now, a new Sunni-Shia battle runs rampart in Syria, Sunni extremists support the rebels while Shia extremists support Assad.
Though I'd say that if Saudis work with the Israelis, Iranians are probably in league with Russia and China.
What are your thoughts on the Turkish government allowing arms and fighters to be funneled to Syria through turkey? For a while this was happening until reports of Sunni rebels in turkey being caught on the border with chemical weapons. It seems that Turkey at first was helping the west then when it realizes that allowing Sunni extremists in their country could pose problems later on in their country they seemed to have stopped.
