Rouhani's membership

I am by no means an expert on Iranian politics so pardon my ignorance but the claim that "Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran since 2013, is a member of the faction.[3]" does not seem to match with the statement in Iranian_presidential_election,_2017 saying that he's part of the Moderation_and_Development_Party. There may be some subtlety involved but in that case I believe it should be clarified. Thibaut Lienart (talk) 11:01, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:ThibautLienart. In Iran, it's not a suprise to find a politcian who is member of more than one party at the same time. Rouhani is leader of Moderation and Development Party, while he also does belong to the Combatant Clergy Association. He is still a member of the latter, however he has not been attending its sessions since 2009, just like moderates Nategh Nouri and Rafsanjani (who died recently). Combatant Clergy Association also listed Rouhani in the Iranian Assembly of Experts election, 2016 but is not supporting him fo president in 2017. Pahlevun (talk) 12:22, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Pahlevun thanks for the clarification. I feel the article would benefit from a paragraph mentioning precisely what you just explained? Thibaut Lienart (talk) 11:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bad translation

"Militant Clergy Association" is not a good translation for "جامعه روحانیت مبارز". Perhaps "Combatant clerics" is a better equivalent. Jahangard 01:52, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I dont agree with the term "militant" either. It carries with it some unwanted and inaccurate baggage. "Mobaarez" in Persian usually has a defensive meaning to it (mobaarezeh baa estekbaar, mobaarezeh baa estebdaad, etc). "Militant" isnt necessarily so. It's probably more offensive.--Zereshk 20:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, if you're kissing the asses of tyrants in the name of being politically correct, why not just go ahead and call them "Islamic Knights Association", after all this is how much of the English-speaking world understands the use of the word "Knight" in connection with religion ... Of course, with the printing press and improved literacy in Christian countries, there are no more Knights - The words of Jesus as told by the New Testament doesn't support such a thing, so improved literacy actually did a lot to hinder religious oppression in the west ... there's no such hinderance with the unforgiving sword-wielding barbarianism of Radical Islam - and being able to read the actual words of Muhammad seems to influence people to be more brutal and unforgiving. Islam in many countries is quite obviously still in the "Spanish Inquisition" phase, and it doesn't look like reading the book is going to change that ...

Is its ideology antisemitic?

The info box includes 'antisemitic' in the 'ideology' section and gives one citation: an Iranian Students' News Agency press release. I don't speak Farsi so used google translate (yes, I know) and couldn't find anything antisemitic on that page, but a reference to "The media affiliated with the Zionist regime ...'. That reference is anti-Zionist and anti-Israeli, but doesn't look antisemitic. Unless someone can come up with some clearer references I suggest cutting out 'antisemitism'.
