Iran to issue badges to Jews and Christians

[bhsup]

Let me put it this way - if them being nasty to the Jews is the best reason against Iranian nukes you can think of, you're deaf, blind, and stupid.

Let me put it this way - if Iran's President's hatred for Jews and his open declaration that they should be wiped off the map, along with the nation's decision to make them wear badges ala Nazi Germany, is the best reason against Iranian nukes you can think of, then welcome aboard the reality train. You clearly understand the threat this man poses to Israel and the world.

With all due respect, you're an idiot.

Wouldn't Israel, really, have the incentive to do it themselves?

 

[Phlegmak]

Because they are whiny liberals who take any chance to make fun of America (or President Bush),

I hope you're not equating liberals with hating Bush again. The two have nothing to do with each other.

even if this means supporting Iran, Venezuela, or even terrorists.

Who's supporting terrorism?

Or, alternatively, this way: If Iran being nasty to Jews isn't interesting to you, you're deaf, blind, and stupid.

I didn't say it's uninteresting, I said this piece of news, if correct, should not alter anyone's position on Iranian nukes.

There's only two ways this could alter anyone's position; either you're more concerned with discrimination of religious minorities than with the risks inherent in a nuclear arms race in the Mid-East, possible transfer of nuclear material to terrorists, Iran feeling free to playing all sorts of destructive games without fear of retribution, and the risk of nuclear war, or you think discriminating Jews and Christians is so laudable that Iran's need for a nuclear deterent to carry this out in peace overrides all objections to Iranian nukes. Either would be the reasoning of a certified nutcase.

The National Post is a bona fide newspaper, but I wouldn't call it the most credible. Its agenda is very blatant and they have been cuaght in many a lie. Consider it Canada's equivalent of the Daily Mail.

But what does one expect from the annals of good old Lord Black (who must decline comment in order not to compromise his current fraud trial).

I was going to mention that, too. I think this is going to end up being a big embarrasment to the Post....

Iran's consulate in Canada didn't deny that there was such a law. If it was made up, wouldn't they immediately spring to condemn the paper and dismiss such reports as being "Zionist propaganda?" (as they do with everything else)

Considering that the consulate was probably hand-picked by president Nutty, he probably thinks that jew should have to wear badges, even if they don't in Iran right now. Or maybe he just hasn't been back home in awhile...

Iran report of Holocaust-style badges questioned
2006-05-19 12:01:29

The National Post is sending shockwaves across the country this morning with a report that Iran's Parliament has passed a law requiring mandatory Holocaust style badges to identify Jews and Christians.
But independent reporter Meir Javedanfar, an Israeli Middle East expert who was born and raised in Tehran, says the report is false.
"It's absolutely factually incorrect," he told The New 940 Montreal.
"Nowhere in the law is there any talk of Jews and Christians having to wear different colours. I've checked it with sources both inside Iran and outside."
"The Iranian people would never stand for it. The Iranian government wouldn't be stupid enough to do it."
Political commentator and 940 Montreal host Beryl Waysman says the report is true, that the law was passed two years ago.
"Jews should wear yellow strips, Christians red strips, because according to the Iranian mullahs, if a Mulsim shakes hands with a non-Muslim he becomes unclean."

I hope to God it's false.

I think that the embassy should sue the named sources for defamation. Use Canadian law, if you want.

Why does some other nation ahev to do it, why not Israel?

 

[IglooDame]

Why does some other nation ahev to do it, why not Israel?

Indeed, Israel certainly has the best justification for doing so.

 

[El_Machinae]

It's too daunting of a task for our Air Force to be physically capable of doing it without massive logistic support from the US. If the Americans are already fueling our planes and letting us land in their Air Bases in Iraq after the strike, the riots this thing would cause and the backlash against their troops in Iraq means that they might as well do it themselves.

He was replying to my question here when he wrote this.

WAIT A SEC!! Is Iran going to plan to stuff Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslims into the gas chambers?

It sounds silly to issue badges to Jews and Christians. To me, it sounds too much simmilar to the Holocaust.

Mr. Crazy Iranian President,
Lay off the Christians, Jews, and non-Muslim people.

Harper: Iran clothing rules reminiscent of Nazis

Associated Press

Friday, May 19, 2006

OTTAWA -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper says news reports that Iran could require Jews and Christians to wear coloured labels in public might be true.

He says Iran's hardline Islamist government has proven itself capable of such extremism.

"Unfortunately, we've seen enough already from the Iranian regime to suggest that it is very capable of this kind of action," Harper said.

"We've seen a number of things from the Iranian regime that are along these lines.

"And the fact that such a measure could even be contemplated is absolutely abhorrent."

The National Post newspaper reported Friday that Iran's parliament has passed a law that would require Jews to wear yellow labels, and Christians red ones, on their clothing.

The law must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide," Ali Khamenehi, to come into effect, the newspaper said.

Harper said he could not vouch for the accuracy of the report. But if true, he said it would be a throwback to one of the most odious chapters in human history.

"It boggles the mind that any regime on the face of the Earth would want to do anything that could remind people of Nazi Germany," he said.

The report is a reminder that Iran must never be allowed to gain nuclear weapons, Harper said.

He made the remarks during a news conference with Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Both leaders said they could not confirm the reports.

"I haven't previously heard of that," Howard said in response to a question about the report.

"If that is true I would find that totally repugnant. It obviously echoes the most horrible period of genocide in the world's history -- the marking of Jewish people with a mark on their clothing by the Nazis."

Nazi Germany began requiring Jews to wear yellow stars on their clothing in the buildup to the Holocaust. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has described the Holocaust as a myth and has called for the destruction of the state of Israel.

Can we invade Iran now and save the Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and other non-Muslims from persecution?

Either would be the reasoning of a certified nutcase.

Is it possible in your mind, that this type of thing (religious persecution) could be an added reason not to allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons on top of the reasons stated above? The proverbial icing on the cake?

 

[sysyphus]

Stephen Harper running to the aid of the National Post? What a shock.

I know many people are hoping (salivating) that this is true so they can finally have their excuse to bomb something.

 

[BirraImperial]

This is just the opinion of the Canadian Prime Minister, that does not make it true. I also think the National Post's article based on Iranian expatriots living in Canada -who obviously hate the current Iranian regime- is not the most unbiased news source, don't you think?
