Re: Re: Nautikos
My dear Naut, it would surprise me, too! LOL! I absoloutely am not one of those who think a politician's voice is more important than that of a poet; au contraire. My meaning was that many politicians seem have come to think that theirs is the more important voice in the room, and can appear deaf to any voice but their own; not always, mind you.
And perhaps I didn't articulate it well but, yes, I did understand exactly what you meant regarding Aryan Iranians (Persians). I possibly misspoke, 
as I meant that I did not know, or fully realize, that the Iranians (Persians) who happen to be the leading Shiite nation, are Aryan. I do understand the difference between a Shia Muslim and a person of Iranian (Persian) descent. I learned that type of difference long ago, in 7th grade, when I had a friend of Hebrew descent who was Jewish. I had commented something about me being Italian and her being Jewish... LOL! She explained the difference to me, and quite nicely. I always remembered, and thank her still.
Glad we cleared that up!

I can't get my mind off of the "useful idiots" and am wondering how many of us here you consider to be in that category.

Re: Nautikos
Are you one of those who think a politician's voice is more important than a poet's? That would surprise me, LOL! And it isn't that Shia Muslims are Aryan - Iranians (Persians) are, and they happen to be the leading Shiite nation...

So interesting. I wonder the value of a poet's view over there, or anywhere, for that matter... lol. And I hadn't realized the Shias are Aryan.

I saw an article lately about a specific sect of Muslims, perhaps from
Pakistan, or maybe in the area of Jerusalem - that issued a fatwa against terrorism, and declared killing anyone in the name of God was a sin. I know it wasn't imagined, I saw it on the MSN home page a few days ago. Very surprised it wasn't picked up by MSM and rebroadcast ad finitum - but they're honed in on the Comey testimony and the DC Circus.

I know what you say about media only reporting what they want. I posted on My Fb page where a million Muslims walked to their shrines as they do each year but this year they were many more of them because they were marching against ISIS.

Re:
This is not a politician's view, CCT, but a poet's, and he is not discussing party politics...

My head aches with politician's views, Naut. I have to give this a miss. I really feel sorry for Mrs May, they all kick a dog when its down.
