| US major violator of religious rights: Iran |
| 2014-07-31 |
| [Iran Press TV] The US is as a major violator of religious rights in the world and is in no position to judge other countries on freedom of religion, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says. "The growing trend of Islamophobia ...the irrational fear that Moslems will act the way they usually do... in the US, systematic discrimination against Mohammedans and restricting freedom of religious minorities in the American community have turned the country into one of the major violators of religious rights," Marzieh Afkham said on Wednesday. She also lashed out at the US support for Israel's atrocities against the Paleostinians, adding that Washington is in no position to pass judgment about other countries on religious freedom. "The US' all-out support for the Zionist regime's acts and [its] unbelievable restrictions on the followers of other Abrahamic religions residing in the occupied Paleostinian territories, especially [Washington's] all-out backing for the acts of aggression and crimes of the occupying regime in Gazoo have not left any credit for the US government to judge and advise others on religious rights and freedoms," she said. Touching on the US Department of State's recent annual global report on religious freedom, which listed the Islamic Theocratic Republicas one of the "countries of particular concern," Afkham said such documents are only "instruments" intended to pile up pressure on other states. "The Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran's constitution clearly respects all the divine religions and considers them free to observe their rituals and ceremonies," the Iranian foreign ministry spokeswoman pointed out. |

| #2 Ask the "Little Sisters of the Poor" vs Obamacare. Remember the outrage by the Left over the Hobbylobby decision. There is a deep streak in the Left to oppress religion. It's one of the common denominators with Islam they have. They too would do it outright and publicly if they thought they could get away with it allowing only state certified institutions to fill the niche, ie Liberation Theology. |

| #1 Islam is the Religion of Peace. Islam is your Friend. The ISIS is simply "misunderstood". There are a lot of Christian Churches who have nothing to fear from the tolerant and decent citizens of Mosul. Iran encourages others to believe whatever they please. There are so many Hindu temples, for Instance, in Iran. You can count them if you like. Use all your fingers and leave your a88hole for the zero. Put your wife and your daughter and your mother's heads in a bag. Get the razor blade and don't forget the clitoris. That's the ticket. |
