Is Iran selling arms to Syria at the moment? Why does Iran's leadership, under the Khameneis effectively, not consider separating state from religion so that equal rights can be honoured as between peoples? How wealthy are Ayatollah Khamenei and his sons? I have heard estimates of at least $50 billion or $60 billion. Fatwas are decrees. We are not used to the idea of decrees in this country; we have referendums where the people decide on matters that affect social policy.
