That's funny. It only took them 30+ years to figure it out.

That one commentator summed it up with: "They're probably bullseyes for Israeli jets." (paraphrased)

Reminds me of the US Navy "swastika" building. I don't know whether it was truly intentional or not, but I have a hard time believing somebody missed that in the architectural drawings.

Muslims dont have issue with Star of David, they have issue with the Zionist occupier criminals that uses it with as flag of theirs. Muslims have lived with star of David with over Millinea. But one a sympol is used for the destruction of people, and occupation of their lands, and enslavement of the survivros, all the use of these oppresorrs become fair game.
Kind of like the 45th's switch from the swastika to the thunderbird due to Germany's use of it.

I just wonder which Israeli engineer won the betting pool?

"Hey! Dec, 2010 that was my month!"

A $20 bet 40 years ago would be pretty nice with inflation taken into consideration.

Oh no, the Iranians are at it again. They are truly nauseating.

Thats actually minor...Azadi Tower which is the MAIN monument in Tehran was built by a Baha'i architect. It has nine windows in the top, a holy number for Baha'is...who are severely persecuted by the IRI.
