Badges? We dont need no stinkin' Badges!!
Sad news today: Iran considering a law that would force non-muslims to wear special badges...this sounds familiar.

Or Not.
Information from Ex-Patriots isn't that terribly reliable, seeing as they're usually biased by hatred and desperate for publicity anyhow. It was crap before the Iraqi was, and crap here as well. See also

I find it amusing that the link works, yet the article is missing from there. If it was true, then perhaps we are seeing history repeating itself. Well at least I rest assured that even the Canadian media sucks like the American media. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Sounds like another faultless translation from the Washington Zion-Bagels Institute.

This story is all over the news wires. Time will tell if its true or not. The frightening part is how easily believable the story is given the psychotic nature of the current Iranian leadership. If it turns out to be true will anyone be suprised??
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Conservative theocrat he may be, but psychotic, I don't think so.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Statements like this don't sound nuts to you? This goes beyond just conservative..into more of an insane world view. FELIPE NO |

This is not going to go over well with any nation, especially after all the crap leading from that in WWII, i highly doubt we will let that history repeat itself. >_> anyone want to go swimming in the gulf of Iran?
Although i knew something like this would happen especially in a religious place like Iran i am just worried about the dispute between Israel and Iran getting a little bigger than hoped for, especially with Iran 'mining for nuklear energy' or so they say. Sadly, people do crazy things for reliogion...lets just hope that Iran doesn't do anything it might soon regret... Jam it back in, in the dark. |

As for the topic, well . . . I hate the war in Iraq, but if Iran even dared to do this, I would fully support a pre-emptive strike to destroy them. Way too "Hitler-inspired" for my tastes. Iran was worse than Iraq even before the war in Iraq started. How ya doing, buddy?

It certainly doesn't have quite the colorful and violent history comparable to the monotheist religions.

I'd like to thank Watts for posting almost word-for-word what I would have said after reading the relevant posts. Buddhism is so different from Islam, Christianity and Judaism as to warrant entirely separate consideration. When the word "religion" is used as an umbrella term, it is perhaps wise to consider that the better term would have been "monotheistic religion". To authorise a pre-emptive strike to destroy Iran without substantial further consideration would be to repeat the mistakes of recent history.
That having been said, I find it equally hard to agree with Arainach's post. There are thousands of Christians and Jews, and even moslems in this world who are entirely moderate and inoffensive in their views. It seems to be the case that militant Islamic Fundamentalists represent a significant proportion of the world's moslem population, but they are hardly the basis on which we should judge the whole of it, any more than the Ku Klux Klan and Pat Robertson represent a basis on which to judge Christians. Most amazing jew boots

I'd be more sympathetic to "normal" Christians and Muslims if they ever thought for themselves instead of just voting like Pat Robertson or Bin Laden tell them to.

Why are you being such an asshole, Arainach?
How ya doing, buddy? |
I know plenty of Christians, including myself, who are not only capable of thinking for themselves but also actually do think for themselves. Personally, I have watched Pat Robertson once a long time ago, and I don't personally know of to many other Christians that watch him. I'm not Muslim, but I'm sure it's the same thing for them concerning Muslims listening to exremist leaders. As for this badge craziness, although it does discriminate and all that jazz, this is Iran were talking about. It is a primarily Muslim state run by folks who themselves are Muslim and don't have any sort of checks and balances such as those we have in other democratic nations. Iran can get away with this sort of crap, how is this news? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
The Holocaust line's mistranslated and removed from context. And the continental re-establishment of Israel is grandstanding, pure and simple. I like how Bush can say he's faith-driven and you're all 'yeah, no worries' but as soon as the same sort of thing's put through a Eurasian lens it's invariably NOW SEE HERE, ADOLF. Jam it back in, in the dark.

I agree with Cal.
He's not psychotic, he's just a religious nutjob, as is Bush. Most amazing jew boots |
The snigga's livin' in a theocracy. His religious beliefs are going to inform his policy to some extent.
Is it so much to assume that it's part of the job and role of the office, and not some indoctrination by whichever cleric's hand he gets seen holding? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

A quote from the Iranian president
The West has given more significance to the myth of the genocide of the Jews, even more significant than God, religion, and the prophets," he said. "(It) deals very severely with those who deny this myth but does not do anything to those who deny God, religion, and the prophet." The "myth" of genocide???? And what pray tell has Bush said that rises to this level. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
You, sir, are the most frightening thing about this article. Because you are the fish that swallowed hook, line, and sinker before ever stopping to consider the ridiculousness of your conclusions.
But you make an interesting distinction, where normally I would see none. I think personal philosophy (or communal philosophy) serves the same purpose as religion, even if the connotations of the general public may differ depending on whether we call it "religion" or not. Anyone that's living their life based on a set of rules or expectations has their own religion. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Bush has said nothing to that level. Just because they're religious nutjobs doesn't mean they're both anti-semites. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |

See here and here.
Only following types of goverment can exist there: a) a theocracy (can be stable, but do not expect it to be a human rights champion) b) an authoritarian state (this type is required if one hopes to establish something resembling a stable, secular state) c) a state of chaos, with powerful warlords and civil war (the worst possible outcome, is usually created after foreign intervention). Also, please read the following links. Compared to current situation, Iraq under Hussein was a great place to live in. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...183948,00.html

It could be argued that Buddhism does have a few religious beliefs (assumptions?) attached to it, namely that life/existence is pain and suffering. Which is brought about by expectations and wants. This is pretty general compared to what most organized religions believe. Believing that one person in history was the son of god and savior of mankind is more clearly defined.
