    And so they went out and elected who they did as their president. I
    think your statements here are more wishful thinking and hoping than
    anything else -- much like the German sympathizers before WWII.

    Do you know a anything about Iran? You probably think they are
    Arabs too.

    Public support for reform is strong -- see the previous president
    who served two terms and was very popular, especially among the
    women and youth. You might as well claim America is a bible
    thumping nation just because we elected Reagan and the Bush clan.

    Or you could read National Geographic's last article on the place.

    There is a significant Islamic law faction, but it isn't so much
    anti-West as anti-Israel and anti-America. Unfortunately they
    got enough power to keep it -- they started keeping reformists
    from running for office in 1994.

    So you spout off all this misnnformation about Iran and then dare
    declare, "Do you know anything about Iran?" Your statement about "see
    the previous president" to prove your point is extremely weak, since
    they went ahead and elected an anti-Jewish [censored] who wants to destroy
    Jews and is doing everything he can to get the job done. Oh, I'm sure
    public reform is strong -- up in the hills and mountains where they
    run and hide so they can wear their hair the way they want to. Let's
    be clear -- wearing hair in an "anti-Islamic manner" is far, far from
    "reform." We are talking institutionalized hate here that is bound and
    determined to manifest itself by the destruction of an entire state
    and its supporters. Your arguments are Larouchian.

    I guess Lebanon is similar in many ways, most people lead a life not that
    far removed from many in the "Western World" but sadly the separation of
    Church and State does not occur.- Hide quoted text -

    So you interpret the "Western World" lifestyle as -- hou? Music?
    Hairstyle? It doesn't matter how you wear your hair, what movies you
    watch or what kind of music you listen to when it comes to
    institutionalized hate.

    This is an unbelieveably simplistic and erroneous statement. You
    should hang your head in shame that you compare a nation that has
    freedom of religion to a rogue nation of goons that hate Jews -- and
    has publicly stated so, by the way -- and has an institutionalized
    system that has led to stonings of those who violate its tenets, not
    to mention its attempt to destroy a nation that believes differently.

    Iran is a complicated place. You are pretty close to completely
    right, and your interlocutor is nearly entirely wrong. To the
    point, in fact, that he sounds a lot like somebody trying to build
    up anti-semitic hate early in the 3rd Reich.

    There's a lot of bad in Iran right now. There are a lot of _other_
    things going on in Iran, too, and it's very interesting to actually
    discover, rather than reading ignorant, hate-filled diatribes.

    Government funding of about 90% of what they fund is wrong and should
    never be allowed to happen. However, relative to the rest of the
    programs supported by the government, I don't know why faith-based
    initiatives are worse. If the group can do the job they are
    contracted to do, who cares?

    the previous president" to prove your point is extremely weak, since
    they went ahead and elected an anti-Jewish [censored] who wants to destroy
    Jews and is doing everything he can to get the job done. Oh, I'm sure
    public reform is strong -- up in the hills and mountains where they
    run and hide so they can wear their hair the way they want to. Let's
    be clear -- wearing hair in an "anti-Islamic manner" is far, far from
    "reform." We are talking institutionalized hate here that is bound and
    determined to manifest itself by the destruction of an entire state
    and its supporters. Your arguments are Larouchian.


    Just because some Iranians want to wipe out Israel has nothing
    to do with my original assertion:
    "Iranians hate the Shah but miss the lifestyle they had under him.
    The people want a situation more like Turkey."
    Btw, you don't sound any better than Iran's president.

    Iran is a complicated place. You are pretty close to completely
    right, and your interlocutor is nearly entirely wrong. To the
    point, in fact, that he sounds a lot like somebody trying to build
    up anti-semitic hate early in the 3rd Reich.

    There's a lot of bad in Iran right now. There are a lot of _other_
    things going on in Iran, too, and it's very interesting to actually
    discover, rather than reading ignorant, hate-filled diatribes.

    This is an unbelieveably simplistic and erroneous statement. You
    should hang your head in shame that you compare a nation that has
    freedom of religion to a rogue nation of goons that hate Jews -- and
    has publicly stated so, by the way -- and has an institutionalized
    system that has led to stonings of those who violate its tenets, not
    to mention its attempt to destroy a nation that believes differently.

    We may have freedom of religion in the U.S. but it's the freedom FROM
    religion that has me more concerned.

    There's a lot more freedom from religion being lived right now than
    freedom of religion and that indeed has me concerned.

    Interesting photos, thanks.

    Although I completely oppose the idea of attacking Iran--and opposed the
    invasion of Iraq--I find the choice of musical accompaniment rather
    interesting, since the convert-to-Islam version of Cat Stevens came out
    in
    public support of the fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. Not
    the action of a peace activist, hmmm?

    Rushdie is still alive and making public appearances. The Fatwa was a
    symbolic gesture. If they were serious, he would not have lasted a day.
    Britain has a great many Muslims and I'm sure one would have gotten the
    job
    done.

    Paul


    Rushdie lived in hiding for years, protected by the British government.

    The fatwa was evil, and Cat Stevens showed just how vicious he was by
    publicly supporting it.

    You missed the point. Government funding of faith based initiatives is
    wrong and should never have been allowed to happen.

    So the Government should never have rebuilt those black churches that
    the ministers burnt down? They shouldn't be building places for
    muslims to pray, and giving tax write offs to mosques either?

    Why is it when someone complains about religion.. what they are
    really referring to is CHRISTIANITY.. not islam, judaism,
    buddhist..anything else???
