Support Utah's Divestment from Iran

[MuddleVanHeck]

The video was well done, but let me just say I have absolutely ZERO confidence in any of our Utah reps anymore. Naturally, I can't imagine why we are doing business with Iran, China, or even Mexico these days.

We need a redo from the dog catcher and up the food chain.

Did you notice Bob Bennett jumping in with a bill to give widespread use of an electronic voting machine which has been hacked by a number of institutions, recently Princeton?

These guys don't keep up at all.

Islam has many sects like Christianity, some are fundamentalist. The TV and Radio spin facts otherwise it would be boring. The most important part of my comment is that the House of Saud's official religion is the violent sect called Whahhabism. Read some foreign (English & non-english) newspapers, you'll find out they hate our government just as you do Iran's. Isn't it odd that our government calls the House of Saud our friends, who endorse the most violent sect of Islam on the planet?

sionists need to hide the crualty of their killings (see in Gaza today) with such propaganda

This is entirely stupid and shallow. Have you been to Iran, it's a peaceful nation? The balance and majority of political power in Iran doesn't share Ahmadinejad's grandstanding. Do you know where and when Islamic fundamentalism orgininated? Do you know who declares Islamic fundamentalism their official religion? Saudi Arabia, that's WHO! Stop the madness and start spreading the truth. Publicize Whahibbism and you expose the truth, tell the truth and speak intelligently.

Actually, I would say the same of your comments. Of course Iran itself as a democracy is a peaceful nation, the people are just as equal and peaceful as Americans, but it is the Iranian president and the Supreme leader that chooses to let down and lie to its people about supporting terrorist groups.

And yes, Islam is the official religion in Saudi Arabia, and the law requires that all citizens be Muslims, but not Islamic fundamentalism.

Last time I checked there are big differences between Catholics, Lutherans, Mormons etc. The truth is in the details not the stereotypical propaganda edited for the benefit of the owner or advertisers. Whahibbism is not Islam perse, do some research and you'll learn that our supposed friends are significant sponsors of Terror. The propaganda driven media paints with a broad brush to serve the power mongers not the people. While the video "Outfoxed" serves a bias it exposes media factually.

Brainstewn,

The Persian people are a beautiful and young population. Sometimes we need to recognize that the radical extremists/terrorists are everywhere!

I live in the Salt Lake area, too. I could tell you stories about radical religious fundamentalists throwing their children off the top floor of a local hotel, the sexual abuse of children in the name of religion, etc.

We tend to paint with a broad brush when we don't understand, don't we?

Peace.
