US removes exiled Iranian group from terrorist list
Washington, Sep 29 (IANS) The US government Friday removed an exiled Iranian group in Iraq from its list of foreign terrorist organisations, Xinhua reported.
According to the US State Department, the decision made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton enabled the group — the Mujahideen Khalq (MEK), also known as the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran, to have its assets under US jurisdiction unfrozen and do business with American entities.
The decision came as the organisation has renounced violence over the years and cooperated in closing Camp Ashraf peacefully, an issue which had resulted in deadly clashes with the Iraqi security forces, it added.
The decision took effect Friday.

I like the answer of this German Scholar when he was asked about terrorism and Islam: He said:
· Who started the First World War, which killed 37 million and injured 22, 379, 053 that includes 7 million civilians? Muslims?
· Who started the Second World War, which killed over 60 million, which was over 2.5% of the world population? Muslims?
· Who killed about 20 million of Aborigines in Australia? Muslims?
· Who drop the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed 166,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki? Muslims?
· Who killed more than 100 million Red Indians in North America? Muslims?
· Who killed more than 50 million Indian in South America? Muslims?
· Who took about 180 million African people as slaves and when 88% of them died, threw them into the Atlantic Ocean? Muslims?
They weren’t Muslims! First of all, you have to define terrorism properly…. If a non-Muslim does something bad… it is crime. But if a Muslim commits the same, he is a terrorist. So first remove the double standard… then come to the point.
