Europe warns Iran... well sort of...

[Byzantine Prince]

And BP, where in the Koran does it say you can't have weapons of mass destruction? I really don't understand your argument... you claim that Mohammed was a war like person, but then say that their religion doesn't allow nukes? What about missiles? They almost certiantly have those, what's the difference between that and nukes?

Nukes are most certainly designed to kill innocents which is not allowed in Islam. Missiles are designed to hit military targets which is not against their laws.

Nukes are most certainly designed to kill innocents which is not allowed in Islam.

So the Israeli children killed by the homocide bombers arent innocents hum? How about the child bombers themselves are they innocents? And of course we know that the 3000 who died on 911 were Nazis and far from innocent.

[Byzantine Prince]

I don't know I'm not Muslim. Many Muslims though will tell you that killing yourself is against their laws and that Israel citizens are astually innocent people.

It all depends on your point of view. I bet you in the eyes of those terrorists the people in the two towers were no innocent because they had been taught that way. It's all subjective.

Iran Passes Pro-Uranium Enrichment Bill

Iran Confirms It Took Key Nuclear Step
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran's (search) conservative-dominated parliament on Sunday approved a bill pressuring the government to pursue "peaceful use" of nuclear energy, including uranium enrichment (search).

The bill doesn't force the government to immediately resume uranium enrichment, but it brings greater pressure on it not to give up its controversial nuclear program.

The legislation comes at a delicate time, with Iran announcing that it's planning to resume uranium reprocessing activities and the European Union threatening to take Iran to the U.N. Security Council (search) for possible sanctions if it does.

"The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is required to pursue, within the framework of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty ... to enable the country to make peaceful use of nuclear energy, including the cycle of nuclear fuel," the legislation said.

The legislation was approved by 188 out of 205 deputies who attended Sunday's parliamentary session.

Now most countries who have only a few nuclear plants but their fuel from other nations as its far less expensive than producing your own. There is no reason iin the world that Iran needs to make its own fuel and it would be far less expensive to buy it elsewhere. The same plant that makes this fuel can also make the needed material for a bomb.

You mean they use it to make a bomb? Nah!... They already have one if you ask me. Courtesy of Mr Khan from Pakistan, no doubt.

I doubt they have the material yet. But I agree they probably have everything else. Thats why this is so important. But them dont worry BP informs us the Iranian minister of the interior assured him that nukes are against their religion and they could never even make them nevermind use them. So relax.

Any country that is pursuing uranium is almost certaintly pursuing nukes.

I'm cool. This afternoon I called the Iranian embassy in The Hague to inform them of BP's fatwa on nuclear weapons and they were duly impressed. My prediction is we've heard the last of them for several decades.
