Iran vs Israel and the USA = WW III (Should we be worried?)

this particular bowl of soup has been bubbling for some time now, with various posturing and toing and froing.

looking at the media and the subsequent comments from israel regarding iran, it looks clear that something is going to happen soon, very soon..... with iran having the ears of both china and russia, israel having the us and of course we (uk) as the states poodle on the other side.

i wonder if this could be the beginning of the end?.

hundreds of threats for assault victim in case dismissed by quran-minded judge.

the pennsylvania man assaulted in october by a muslim who was offended by his halloween parade zombie muhammad costume said he has received hundreds of death threats after a judge dismissed his attackers criminal charges.. ernest perce told the daily caller that talaag elbayomy, a muslim man, grabbed me, choked me from the back, and spun me around to try to get my sign off that was wrapped around my neck.. elbayomy reportedly admitted to a police officer, sgt.

bryan curtis, that he attempted to rip perces fake beard off, remove his muhammed of islam sign and choke him.. perce said he believes elbayomy thought it was illegal in the united states to insult muhammad, as it is in countries whose governments are based on sharia law.. last week judge mark martin sided with perces attacker, saying in open court that perce would be put to death in muslim societies for showing disrespect to muhammad.
