The Ayatollah

One of the most fanatic Islamist clerics in Iran who has recently been elected for the parliament from the second big city of Iran, Mashad, has a very ironic surname, especially in the context of the recent election crisis in which the conservative legilative body disqualified thousands of reformers and effectively sent conservatives to the parliament, or as they someyimes call it in Iran, to the House of People.

His name is Mohammad Reza Faaker.

Oh, you mean Ayatollah Uzez V. Agrah. Or are you thinking of that infamous hard-liner cleric, Khan Nevah Geedit Aph? ;-P

Are you perhaps thinking of the cleric Beegh Faaht Fokker? Or his colleague, Khamel Fokker? There are so many powerful clerics, with such well-chosen names... ;-)

Faaker... is he possibly related to that other recently elected cleric, Maatha Faaker? Or maybe he is a close friend of those other prominent ruling clerics... I'm thinking specifically of Ayeem Khorupt, Baait Meeh, and Lainiingh Maih Pokhets. ;-)
