From PERSIANWARRIORS

The Kurds, Shiite and Sunni in Iraq do the same thing, THEY KILL KIDS; you know these are the people we’re giving “freedom to” in Iraq.

I hate the gore sites, the ones that show the Iraq war videos, gross, depression, but I found my self on one yesterday. There is a grainy video of a teen girl being stoned to death (or very large cinder blocks. Have you ever seen someone really killed the “old testament” way? Her lifeless body flops around as men came forward kick her in the head or torso, where a huge pool of blood had formed. HER CRIME? She ran away from home to marry a man from a different muslim group(?). She was given sanctuary in a mosque, but after may weeks, she was convinced that she was forgiven by her family. That is when they killed her! Animals.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE OUR SOLDIERS ARE SPILLING THEIR BLOOD FOR. THE PEOPLE WE ARE SPENDING 9 BILLION ON A MONTH. This is why the civil war we are in the middle of is so serious. These people have religious fervour and will kill because of it. Woman, Children does not matter to them. (May be why our founding fathers keep the separation of Church and State? hummmmm you think.)

As a Christian I don’t bash any religion, BUT, not all religion is GOOD. Christians historically have done evil in the name of the Lord for a Millennium or two, Catholic pedophile priest today. Today there is still bad things going on under the religious banner of all “brands” of religion. But lets GET REAL, Muslims, specifically Muslims in the beginning of the 21st century, specifically the radical, fanatical, fundamentalist are our enemey. They can scream Allah and Mohammad all they want, they are evil devils who want to destroy us. I get that, but why are good law biding peaceful Muslims so quite? Are they in fear of fellow muslims or just OK with it? That seems to be the what Islam is about fear. I know some do speak out.

We should have seen this coming now. What was it, 1988, Satanic Verses by Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, who got a death warrant by the Ayatollah. You can’t criticize a religion that is being used for evil? Is that like conservatives who complain about the MSM because it is critical of a republican president? Kind of.

Stop with the BS… Is the Govt of Iran being true to Islam or not… (I say yes). If its’ being true, then it’s not “using” the religion.. it’s following it.

Middle Eastern women, and Persians in particular, are smoking. I think it is the eyes.

8-) Don’t know I can say it’s all Middle Eastern women necessarily, but it’s most definitely Persian women!

That being said, she is still basically Canadian — which means fuzzy-headed on the whole “diplomacy” thing.

Agree… a little too much Kumbaya in that performance. Otherwise, timely & appreciated.

Yeah, she’s a smokin’ ex-beauty queen, and her primary cause is a wonderful endeavor and all that, but I think I’d feel more enlightened and would be far more convinced if the expressed personal views on Iranian society’s ills were coming from an Iranian woman who lived her whole life there, then bucked “the system” and became an international champion of all the Iranian people who yearn for freedom and democracy.

She doesn’t have the first-hand experience of Hirsi Ali or Brigitte Gabriel, and it shows. But I’d vote for her for Miss Canada!

Ahem. What the @#% do you think the Cold War, the Reagan defense buildup, Afghanistan, and the threat of SDI were, genius?

And no one’s discounting the opinions of expats who counsel against bombing Iran, least of all this one. But, as pointed out on a related thread, that will be a foregone conclusion if nukes are detonated by jihadis on U.S. soil. So whatever her strategy is for revolution from within, it had better play itself out in time.

(And clearly there’s a lot more the world could be doing to help … though I trust we are doing things we won’t hear about for a while, because they’re more or less a secret.)

Though the gravity of message should not be diminished by the mesmerizing messenger. great post AP.

A woman in a class of mine is Bahai and recently talked about the persecution she and her family faced in Iran (you can’t even mention the fact that you’re Bahai in public). She does seem reasonable, but still isn’t in favor of a U.S. invasion of Iran.

I’m glad to hear about her, and wish her well in her noble efforts. But the most impressive woman to me is still Bridget Gabriel. She’s the real deal. Her tale of growing up as a Lebanese Christian during the flood of muslim immigration and murder is gut-wrenching and spellbinding. Her book, Because they Hate is a must read.

Buck Turgidson on May 12, 2007 at 12:50 AM

I agree with you about Bridget and her book is a enlightening read. Bridget is better than this Nazanin lightweight.

There was also the fact the Russians feared death by nukes as much as we did…not the psychos running Iran.

AP, you too much of a sucker for a pretty face.

Noble cause? Yes. But I bet I can put out the candle at her right ear by blowing into her left.

TwinkietheKid on May 11, 2007 at 11:44 PM

Brilliant. She’s putting pressure on Iran to not kill children and you’re making “dumb model” jokes. Tell me again who has air between their ears?

SilverStar830 on May 11, 2007 at 11:33 PM

So would the Iranian children who are in prison facing execution be in favor of bombing the regime that is about to execute them?

I hear the “don’t attack Iran” theme a lot from Iranian expats so I am sure they believe it but it is so incongrous with their opinion of the Mullahs that is is hard for my logical western brain to process. In the end, how about we just act in America’s self interest, like when we played both sides of the Iran-iraq war. Jeez, stuff like this is turning me into Brent Scocroft(SP?).

Noble cause? Yes. But I bet I can put out the candle at her right ear by blowing into her left.

Afshin-Jam’s a former Miss World Canada, by the way, and it’s not hard to see why. Good lord

Holy crap! You ain’t kidding!

This woman left Iran as an infant. Her only claim to “being Iranian” is she was born there. She was raised, educated, nurtured, and all her life’s experience is in Western society. She’s still entitled to her cause(s) and her opinion’s for sure, but all I get from it is just another pretty mouthpiece in the cause of Western interests, and not the ‘real deal’, when she speaks about Iran’s shortcomings.

I wish her luck in her valiant efforts to stop the execution of children in Iran, 100%, regardless.
