Another one of my anonymous commenters pointed out to me last night that this photo is actually from a Dutch movie portraying a stoning in Iran. I did some checking and that appears to be the case.
Correction noted.

"Really Gary, you have to stop falling so easily for Jewish propaganda and lies and do some more research before you post."
I still challenge Anonymous to make the case that stonings do not occur in Iran (or that persecution of Baha'i and gays are not a fact in Iran). By way of illustration, let me show a scene from another movie.
This actor's name is Bruno Ganz in the movie, The Final Days. For you UC Santa Cruz Community Studies majors, he is portraying a man named Adolf Hitler. Maybe one of your professors mentioned his name.
But, of course, he is not really Adolf Hitler. It is only a movie. Everyone knows (at least our anonymous Jew-hater) that no such person as Adolf Hitler ever existed (just like stonings in Iran).
Ever wonder why people don't sign their names?
You could use this picture from Afghanistan under the Taliban:

Or this video:

And the Libtards and so-called feminists are silently approving this.
People who throw stones should not expect their neighbors to live in glass houses.
ReplyDeleteWhatever Fousesquawk may be, it is not "Jewish propaganda," nor is the movie. Not having made a detailed study of the subject, I have the impression that stoning and hanging of woman, gays, or Ba'hai's are not unknown in Iran, nor are they commonplace occurrences. Its certainly not like Afghanistan under the Taliban, when Hazaras were being slaughtered. (The communities trying to get certain young would-be married couples back so they can be killed by their own families are Hazara... which offers some perspective on how difficult it can be to sort the world out into heroes, victims and villains.)
The climate of fear created by the knowledge that it COULD happen anytime is an atrocity in itslef. After all, MOST Americans of African descent were not lynched... which does not make it less of an atrocity that a few hundred were.
Persecution of baha'i in Iran is commonplace.
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat little statement Gary. It might even be true. Can you offer a quick statistical summary?
ReplyDeleteE.g., there are 250,000 Ba'hais in Iran, of whom 25 are executed each year, 250 stoned to death by government-inspired pogroms, 2500 women raped, 25,000 young men imprisoned for indefinite terms, and every other week, Ba'hai worship services are interrupted in 2500 meetings by the Revolutionary Guards (?) Or something.
If I'm going to repeat what you said next time I get into an argument over Iranian persecution of Ba'hais, I want to know more than "it's commonplace, Gary Fouse says so."
One of my co-teachers at UCI is a bahai refugee from Iran. I wish you could talk to her.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to talk to her. I would probably sympathize with her. I don't believe in state establishment of religion. But, since you are making an argument in public, can't you offer one or two little factoids from all the knowledge that conversation with her has provided you with? We've been known to agree with each other. I'd like to evaluate your assertions based on presented facts. You're very short on providing any.
ReplyDeleteA year or so back I posted a story about 7-8 baha'i leaders in Iran on trial for their lives for treason or some such nonsense. You might research that. Do the research. It is fact.
ReplyDeleteI don't doubt it. OK, one fact, and not inconsistent with anything I said. Isn't it nice when we agree?
