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 is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."

If the facts don't fit the paradigm then they can be ignored. Apparently, what you don't want to know can't hurt you.
Iranian troops goosestep in massed ranks.. Badges for Jews/Christians. Development of new weapons. A large standing army. Bellicose threats to other nations. Any other parallels?
Badgers for Jews
The Nazi's of the World would like to thank Jimmy Carter, for the wonderful present he has bestowed upon Humanity.
See link http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1635006/posts also the story is now being question
Just thought of another parrallel to you know what. World attempts to appease as a means to avoid armed conflict.
Well, it's temporarily bad, no doubt, but in the end, it could lead to the rest of the world, and the American public, to start paying attention. There's nothing like literally imitating Nazi's to get people's blood boiling.
Better tell Iran, their official News Agency has reported it as well.
Majlis passes bill setting out new dress requirement Tehran
, May 15, IRNA Iran-Fashion-Majlis billMajlis deputies here on Sunday approved the outlines of a bill setting out a dress code suitable for Iranian culture and society and a national fashion trend.
When the bill is passed into law, a committee composed of representatives from the ministries of culture, commerce and industries as well as the Management and Plan Organization, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and Majlis Cultural Commission is to be created.
The culture ministry and IRIB will have the primary responsbility of promoting the required dress or clothing design as confirmed by the committee and prevent Western-style fashion that are against Islamic teachings.
After the law is passed, the culture ministry, with the help of the ministry of commerce, will hold national, regional and international festivals and exhibitions to promote cultural exchanges, including Islamic fashion, among Muslim nations.
Seasonal fairs will be held by the commerce ministry to introduce as well as promote sales of Islamic dresses and garments to the public.
The national dress plan was approved in Majlis by 137 votes in favor, 45 against, and 11 abstentions.

Since the Iranians have confirmed the story, post 17, I see no reason to question it either.
I wonder how many posters will sign up today to dispute this story, you're the second.
"I see no reason whatsoever to investigate the facts or otherwise question the validity of this story."
Especially from a media source like the "Canadian National Post".
