The Persecution of Christians in Iran Continues

Is this the same country that the Obama administration wants to negotiate with over its development of nuclear weapons?


"Uhhhhh........yeaaaaaah."

 A country that imprisons Christians for consuming wine during mass and sentences them to 80 lashes.

The situation for those of the Baha'i faith in Iran is worse. They are routinely attacked, arrested, imprisoned and murdered because the Iranian regime does not recognize their faith. They consider it a form of heresy from Islam.

As always, we should make note of those in the West who consort with this regime and defend it: (All of those listed have spoken at UC Irvine in recent years on behalf of the Muslim Student Union.)

And who are these people, you ask?

You don't wanna know.

    If I had a choice between negotiating away Iran's capacity to develop nuclear weapons, or negotiating away its persecution of Christians for using wine during mass, I have no doubt which one would be the higher priority.

    Siarlys,

    Even the Saudis realize that we are pursuing a fool's errand in trying to negotiate with Iran.

    Siarlys,


    That's why I prefaced it by saying, "Even the Saudis know...."

    Read my previous posts on the Saudis.

    I'm familiar with your previous posts on the Saudis. That's why "even the Saudis know" rings false. The Saudis are not friends of Iran, who "even they" know that we are not being tough enough. Saudi Arabia has never considered advocating any negotiation with Iran for any reason whatsoever. The Saudis would gladly sacrifice the entire wealth and military capacity of the United States to demolish their nearest and most powerful rival. No amount of toughness would satisfy them. Any concession, no matter how much a real quid pro quo might be in the interests of the United States, is one they would reject.
