		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So Mullah is not a human being as it is thought.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Alex, I understand what you&#039;re saying about being &quot;brain washed&quot; and believing that you are &quot;super-human&quot;, and that you have the right to kill any human who does not believe in what you believe in. That is why religion is often used to consolidate political power. As a leader, you use whichever levers of powers are available to you. For the Mullahs, they are in a position to use religious belief to their advantage, by stifling opposition, and justifying the oppression of the people in the name of God.

However, there are Mullahs and their are Mullahs. I have to believe that at least some of them are good people who do not wish harm on their fellow man. We shouldn&#039;t lump them all into one group, otherwise we would be guilty of the same kind of thinking as is typical of the ideological extremists.

Instead of focusing solely on who is good, and who is bad, it is probably better to focus on what makes sense, and what doesn&#039;t. To me, at least, the Green Manifesto seems to make a lot of sense, and the ideology of the more extreme groups in Iran doesn&#039;t. If you are a leader, you have to figure out how to bring out the best in your people, and how to give them the best life possible. Keeping them down in the dumps is not a reasonable way of doing that.</description>

		<description>Mullahs will kill people to just exist one more day and rule, as they have done it recently by terrorizing the scientist and are blaming the west for that action! Mullahs do not care about killing humans or even they are ready to kill their follow mullahs as well.  Mullahs are not human, because when they go to school to become mullah they are defaced and they are believed or mind washed that they are super-human, and so they have the right to kill any human who is against their beliefs or will; this means that they are given a right from their GOD that they could kill. I am hoping that the future of Iran will be a clean Iran, which means the people will come to know that any Mullah is a bad creature that must be re-defaced, either by killing it or just re-brain-washed. So Mullah is not a human being as it is thought.</description>
