re :Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.

This needs to be broadcast over and over again, with the words never again.

Every Muslim should be asked is that what your Koran dictates.

[mainepatsfan]

Very disturbing.

[Kakaze]

"It would make religious minorities immediately identifiable and allow Muslims to avoid contact with non-Muslims"

The u.n. of course will mildly squawk then pass out ribbons to one and all.

The world should isolate iran until this ends either in revolution or it collapses under its own ignorance.

And so it begins...

[Kozak]

It sure does.

"Many times distinctive dress was specified to identify a dhimmi that he would be unable to either mix with a Muslim or even walk in a Muslim area of a city. Other rules specified such demeaning dress codes as not wearing shoes or sandals, not using certain colors, wearing stars on their clothing. Dhimmis were often prohibited from working in many occupations. Even rules were made as to how a dhimmi could ride a mule to distinguish him from a Muslim.

The non-observance of these rules would entail a severe beating. Often passing a Muslim on the wrong side would begin a beating that could leave a dhimmi mortally wounded. Since the dhimmis were denied the ability to testify against a Muslim, there was absolutely no recourse"

Will all muslims be required to wear a logo of askull and crossbones?

The UN, of course, is more concerned about America:

US 'must close Guantanamo camp'

[ovrtaxt]

ping!

[Dallas59]

Wow! The Democrats must be in control over there!

[NavVet]

I doubt this will even make the MSM news. After it is only Jews and Christians that are being targeted.

[Tiberius109]

Here it comes again !

[coconutt2000]

I listen sometimes to Michael Savage, for entertain purposes, but he's on the record as calling the Iranian president the reincarnation of Hitler.

[coconutt2000]

So, who came up with this first? Muslims or Hitler?

[NavVet]

Club GITMO, your tropical retreat from the stress of Jihad.

[Kozak]

Muslims by about 1200 years.....

[tkathy]

Forced religious garb is a hallmark of extremist ideology.

Why is anyone surprised? What universe have they been living in?
