understand what Turkish Alevism is, since she has some students

has surely an impact but doesn’t explain everything. You seem to

absolute truth.

Actually, it seemed to me that Alharacas was trying to lecture
me on the history of my region. She sure tried it. And Turkish
Alevism is not a religion. It's a sect of Shi'ite Islam.

> I am convinced that there are differences between the
different brands of followers of Ali. Like there are so many
differences among the Christian churches in the Middle East. You
can search for that also on Wikipedia.
--- End Quote ---
Name those differences please. Just saying that you're sure
there are many differences is not enough. And how does that
refute the fact that different Christian churches are still
Christian?

know how the Iranian counterparts are called for which you work.

In case you don't know, before the establishment of the state of
Israel, Iran hosted the largest population in the Middle East
and even today Iran hosts the second largest Jewish population
in the Middle East. As a result, a sizeable population of
non-Ashkenazi Jews in Israel have Iranian origin. I think it was
just a few weeks ago that Israel realized that their Minister of
Agriculture spied for Iran. Made a big scandal in the country.

> You say that Iran must look to defend its interests in the
Mediterranean....that’s shocking. In Lebanon you have a truly
Shi’a party, the one led by that guy which is unable to
pronounce correctly the R and says L instead. I do not write his
name since he is on the list of the “bad guys”. He is the chief
of the party of God. They usually bread 5 children pro family.
They soon will be the majority in Lebanon. No need to throw the
Christians to the sea, they leave by themselves, unfortunately.
> You make me laugh about Algeria. Did you forget their civil
war?
> As for the Palestinian they were duped by everybody, from the
Britts to their Arab “friends”.
--- End Quote ---
Funny enough, some Christians in Lebanon too support Hizbullah.
This is why Hizbullah gained the majority of seats in the
Lebanese parliament in the last elections. Because even some
Christians voted for this bad party. Where did you get this
"bread 5 children" per family thing? Is there a statistics on
birthrate in Lebanon based on religious divisions? Or is it just
like your other fact about spermatozoa?
And Algeria is well-known in the Arab League as a country that
usually takes an independent stance on the resolutions of the
Arab League. It's not something that only I say. It's something
that many people in the Arab world say.

KS you surely are the fastest writer of this forum. I wonder
when you study maths?
Obviously you have to teach me/us everything. Even about Jews in
Iran!
Still, I prefer to read your posts than the ones I find on
Italki. At least you write English almost like a native.
Frankly the differences in sects do not interest me at all.
Anyway, real life is calling me. The siesta is finished. See you
later alligator.

I don't study math in summer.
Why do I have to teach you everything? Isn't Wikipedia enough
for you to master everything there's to know about the Middle
East and the world?
You can never get this sort of discussion on italki. You'll be
banned in less than 24 hours.
I wonder why you and Alharacas are trying so hard to prove to
me, using all ways possible, that Alawites, Alevis and Alavis
are not Shi'ite people when these differences do not interest
you. Plus, I'm sure Catholicism is viewed differently and
practiced differently in different parts of Europe and Americas,
but that doesn't mean that they're not Catholics.
Have a good real life.

Here one of the numerous articles about the decline of masculine
fertility. You can surely find counter article and boast about
it. But it’s reality, there are many articles about it and
infertility among couples is getting a real problem in western
countries. Of course in Iran late Sha Reza Palevi just
repudiated his infertile first wife. That’s was before the
glorious Islamic revolution and his second wife was able to bear
children. Here a link to the decline of masculine fertility

You will argue that the Washington Post isn’t serious
journalism.
Didn’t have the time to log in to a medical data basis and find
evidence in a peer rewied scientific magazine.

It's Shah, not Sha. And it's Pahlavi, not Palevi. Plus, Reza
Pahlavi is the Crown Prince of the Pahlavi Dynasty. The Shah
you're referring to was Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi, or Pahlavi II.
And it wasn't his second wife that could give him a child. It
was his third wife actually.
And I wasn't really talking about the decline of masculine
fertility when I said you were wrong about spermatozoa. I was
rather referring to the misinformation that Y sperms are smaller
and faster, which has been debunked by Computer Assisted Sperm
Analysis (CASA) in recent decades.
