Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine (managing edito) who holds a Ph.D. in History with a specialty in Soviet Studies has this article entitled “How the Soviets Gave the Mullahs the Bomb” in which he explains the Russian-Iranian connection. I have always thought that Russia was more of a threat to the US than most people believe.
After I had been face to face with a number of these, it dawned upon me that the step from being a glowing red communist to becoming a blood-thirsty Muslim fundamentalist is actually a distance equal to zero. Since then I have seen these two categories as the two sides of the same coin. Communism and Islamic fundamentalism have more in common than what meets the eye. They share the same fundamental hatred against individualism and against individuals who wish to be happy and just enjoy life.
