    Iran is simply more tolerant of non-muslims than other nations. Is Iran a threat with nukes? Well, Pakistan has nukes and they are a greater threat to Israel than Iran is.

    Iran has been kind to Jews in comparison. Check out how many synagogues there are in Iran:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sy...es_in_Iran

    Iran has Jewish resturants, Jewish cemeteries, Jewish schools, and Jewish hospitals.

    Pakistan has a destroyed Jewish community. All Jewish synagogues were bulldozed or destroyed. There is allegedly one single registered Jew in Pakistan who is beaten by mobs:
    http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/192184

    Iran even lets Jews into parliament because Iran is Shiite. Shiites are less severe than Sunnis. ISIS, Taliban, the Saudi-regime, Saddam Hussein, and almost all terrorist groups are Sunni or not Shiite, with the exception of Hezbollah which is a small group in Lebanon that actually helped America defeat ISIS.

    Pakistan is largely more hostile towards Jews than Iran because Iran is Shiite. (Some statistics show that Pakistan is only 5% Shiite.) Iran lets women take their veils off and protest the Government. Granted, some women have been arrested for this, but most are not. In Saudi Arabia, you can get 10 years in prison and a thousand lashes for just saying something negative about the government on a blog.


    Iran is actually said to be the country on earth where Christianity is growing the fastest:
    "This may come as a surprise to many of our readers: Christianity is growing faster in Iran than in any other country in the world."
    http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2017/s...te-baptism

    It shows that Iran could possibly be the most lenient Muslim country regarding free-speech, at least compared to Arab nations (I know Persians are not Arab).

    Free speech is booming in Iran as well as protests of the government. Most Iranians want to get with the 21st century.

    Many Sunni regimes kill alcoholics, imprison them for decades, or take away their driving abilities for life. Iran actually has AA meetings for alcoholics.


    Israel thinks Iran is such a threat and Americans think Iran is the bad guy, and there is talk of bombing them or invading them with Israel as our Ally.

    No one hardly mentions the real threat which is Pakistan.

    Also, the Government in Pakistan lets people get away with gang rape, (even though it is technically illegal it is sanctioned). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Pakistan

    Women in Iran get to defiantly wear their scarf so that their hair is fully exposed. http://i1.wp.com/metrouk2.files.wordpres...484304.jpg

    This is technically legal in Iran. Some women take off their scarfs entirely, which isn't technically legal, but it is rare that they get arrested for it.

    Statistics show that over 70% of Iranians want freedom of speech, women's rights, and freedom of Religion in their country.

    If the free world and Israel kills Iranians, they should kill them with kindness. Iran has the potential to be our Ally more than any other predominately Muslim country.

    Iran supports the persecuted Shiites throughout the Muslim world who have been a minority that is has been getting raped, tortured, sold as sex-slaves, murdered, and their mosques blown up by Sunni bullies for over 1400 years.

    Iran is the greatest defense of Shiites who are the more moderate and humane of the two groups by far!

    Hence, I love Iran and pray for that country a lot.[​IMG] It is a beacon of hope that the Islamic world can rapidly be leaving the dark-ages and getting with the 21st century through leaps and bounds! [​IMG] [​IMG]

    If America would Ally themselves with Iran, we could help set up a Shiite government in Yemen that is as tolerant to the people who are not Muslim, as the government is in Iran.

    Not that the government in Iran is without many flaws, but they are not cracking down on the people who are trying to get with the 21st century, at least not nearly to the degree that the sunnis are.

    Saddam Hussein was executed for his role in Shiite massacre
    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/mi...ddam_12-29

    That isn't counting the hundreds of thousands (more close to a million) of Shiites he killed in his invasion of Iran.

    Now that the Iraqi government is Shiite, and Sunni ISIS was kicked out of Iraq, it is safer for Christians....

    Jews who left Iraq want to return home now that it is a Shiite government. Queen Esther, one of the greatest Hebrew women in the Bible was from Persia (Iran). Many Jews went to Persia (Iran) after their Babylonian (Iraq) captivity! Iran was sort of their sacred land and refuge for a while.

    I bring Sunni countries into this to show how they are getting worse and Iran, a Shiite nation, is getting better.

    This has less to do with saying "It's worse over there" and more to do with, "Iran is growing. I see signs of promise there. Iran is a beacon of hope for me that Muslims can get more with the 21st century. At least it looks that way when I see how much they are evolving in Iran."

    If the growth towards free-speech and women's rights keeps going at this rate, Iran shall become more secular, more free, more like democracy.

    "For most Iranians, the most reliable sources of information remain not Iranian but Western, and often American: Radio Farda, the Farsi-language service of Radio Liberty, funded by the U.S. congress and supervised by the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors; the BBC, with its new Farsi service; the Voice of America; and CNN, whenever the transmission can pierce the government filtering technology...

    World Public Opinion poll found that 51 percent of Iranians hold a favorable opinion of Americans, a number consistent with other polls, meaning that Americans are more widely liked in Iran than anywhere else in the Middle East."

    (That really speaks volumes, since America supports Iran's enemies)

    "The U.S. favorability rating isn't even that high in U.S. allies India or Turkey, and is two and half times as high as in Egypt.

    Many Iranians regard the American ideal, at least as they perceive it, as a symbol of all they want their own society to be -- free, prosperous, "great" -- but isn't. Iranians I've encountered from all strata of society express an eagerness to exalt the country they have been conditioned to view as the "Great Satan." And yet, thousands of miles away, the vast majority of Americans are totally unaware of their Iranian admirers.

    Iranians who have been interviewed say such things as "I just love Americans".

    When are the Iranians going to turn over the terrorists with Interpol warrants who bombed the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992 and the Jewish Community Center in 1994?

    In October 2006, Nisman and fellow prosecutor Marcelo Martínez Burgos formally accused top officials within the government of Iran with orchestrating the bombing and Hezbollah for carrying it out. Their indictment stated that the decision to approve the bombing was ultimately made by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, but other senior government members were also part of the discussion, including then-President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, Intelligence Minister Ali Fallahijan and National Security Council Secretary Hassan Rouhani.

    I don't have a problem with Iranian people in general. Our issue is with the current regime in Iran which is one of the major sponsors of terrorism in the middle east.
