Iranian threat does not represent the Muslim population as a whole
By Benjamin Lewis and By: Zac Prestine | Sep. 4, 2012It is no secret that Iran is currently developing nuclear capabilities. Their program was actually given a head start by none other than the United States in the 1950’s in the Atoms for Peace program. Obviously, a nuclear-powered Iran has not always been a threat to the world, or else the United States wouldn’t have supported their program in the first place. In fact, under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Islamic Republic opted to disband its nuclear developments as they served as a hindrance to peaceful Islamic values. Unfortunately, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s sentiments are not shared by the regime currently in power in Iran, and with the nation’s present advancement within the realm of nuclear power, the entire world is threatened by an Iran armed with nuclear weapons.
