Nuclear Defiance in Iran

On Monday, Iran issued its first run of bank notes with the nuclear symbol emblazoned across it. Text on the note of Islam's Prophet Muhammad states, "men from the land of Persia will attain scientific knowledge even if it is as far as the Pleiades". Also featured is a picture of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, the father of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Can one piece of paper state the intentions of Iran more clearly? On this bank note, Iran is claiming proudly that they are religious extremists bent on the nuclear proliferation of their terrorist axis. Plain and simple.
