Christians Must Denounce Iran Now Before Catastrophe; Statement on Iran Requiring Jews, Christians and Other Religious Minorities to Wear Identifying Badges
To: National Desk
Contact: Dane Rose , 202-546-8329 ext. 106; Rev. Rob Schenck, 703-447-7686 cell, both of the National Clergy Council
WASHINGTON, May 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rev. Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) is president of the National Clergy Council in Washington, DC, and is coordinator of an ongoing dialogue between American Evangelicals and Moroccan Muslims. He is a board member of the Evangelical Church Alliance and an advisor to the Institute on Religion and Public Policy. Mr. Schenck released this statement today regarding Iran's passage of a law requiring Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear markings on their clothing identifying them as non-Muslims:
"This only proves that the worst in human history does repeat itself. The Bible says the heart of man is 'desperately wicked: who can know it?' The Iranian leadership proves the point. Christians must speak out loudly and immediately to denounce this atrocious action. We were silent too long during the 1930's and millions were murdered as a result.
"Speaking for thousands of church leaders from all Christian traditions, I urge President Bush, Secretary Rice and Congress to take swift and severe action against Iran and enforce the most dire of consequences should the country enact this supremely inhuman decree.
"Furthermore, I urge all people of conscience in Iran and outside to resist this egregious violation of human rights and take whatever action necessary to rescue those in danger. We must open our hearts, homes and wallets to prepare now to save those who will suffer. May God have mercy and spare us the horror of 60 and 70 years ago."
Mr. Schenck is speaking tonight, May 19, 7:00 PM at the large Gloucester County Community Church, 359 Chapel Heights Road, in Washington Township, New Jersey, 08080

Well, in "Arabian nights" there was a city with the inhabitants turned into fishes of distinct colors corresponding to the religious community - yellow, blue, red and black - so even the color scheme has been about the same since the times of Harun-al-Rashid. Verily, there's nothing new under the sun.

It's intersting that everyone says Iran is copying the Nazi's. As I recall, this is a Muslim custom dating back centuries.

Perhaps what he means is that there are many pacifist Jews who are willing to repeat the errors of the past that got them killed?

In light of the idiot running Iran threatening to destroy Israel/ALL JEWS, I hardly think they are harkening back to those "good ol'days" of ANCIENT History. more like the days of HITLER!!
Well, maybe you think hitler got his idea for the Jews wearing stars from an OLD TEXACO ad about wearing a STAR! Geezzze!

Hmmm....Jews seemed to have found an acceptable, comfortable niche in just occasional blood letting.
Never again? What would Yossi Beilin do?

They were probably scared off by all the anti-Arabic posts on the board.
