The frightening truth of why Iran wants a bomb

The link below (Sunday Telegraph opinion ) tells a worrying story about Iran, but not a surprising one.

The frightening truth of why Iran wants a bomb
By Amir Taheri

I worry that the secular west understands militant, but more mainstream than we are lead to believe, Islam very poorly. As we are often lazy we don't fully research what  they are actually saying ( hard to do few of us speak or read Arabic). Being palmed off with simple explanations about Islam meaning peace etc.

War with Iran must be coming soon. Any ideas how it can be prevented ? ( OK I acknowledge that this refers to the Shia branch of Islam only and lead up from Iran ).

Remember MAD only works when everyone is sane.
