@kiarashbo You're tough guy, aren't you? You know why the Shah fell? When the time came to fight, despite having billions of dollars and all the resources, everyone ran from his side. So, I understand why you're bitter. Though, honestly, I can't say I share the feeling.
@aftabbukhari ''So, you believe Jesus is the Messiah, and so do Muslims,''
Please dont try and dont waste your time... Muslims dont know Christ. Isa or Issa in the koran has nothing to do with Christ the Son of God (Yahweh came in flesh more than 2000 years ago) who died on the cross for us, and left us the gospel.
It's Christians responsability to make Him known, and it's others responsability to want and seek for Truth.
Pardon my mistake. I thought you were Jewish, because I didn't read "YAHUSHUA". You must claim to be a Christian. So, you believe Jesus is the Messiah, and so do Muslims, but the Jews ignored him as an imposter. Yet, you claim those who believe in Him are his enemies (Muslims), and those who ignored and help crucify him are His People (Jews)?
Please, don't forget to pray for your own enlightenment, as well...and a logically sound mind.
@aftabbukhari : ''So, if you want Israel to continue, you should follow your own commandments, and honor thy neighbor.''
Thanks for the advise, but, accustomed to think for myself unlike some others... the advise was unnecessary. I honor my God YHWH in prayer for Israel as He asks us, but I also pray for His enemies and the enemies of His People (Israël) and the enemies of Christians.
@liduq Our prophet said, "God will allow a nation to continue in disbelief, but he will never allow a nation to continue in oppression". He's also said, "Be patient during the reign of tyranny. It is shorter than the just rule. For surely, it takes longer to build something, than to destroy it." So, if you want Israel to continue, you should follow your own commandments, and honor thy neighbor.
By that rationale, more women would wear burka in France where it is publicly banned, than women would in Saudi Arabia. Tehran would have more gays, where they are forbidden, than there would be in Berlin (most gay friendly city of Europe where even the mayor is openly gay). You say Iran forces religion, so Iran has more atheists than Europe does. I say, Iran may have more atheists because many believers volunteered themselves as Basiji in the Iran Iraq war, and atheists stayed behind. Lol.
how's this relevant? 33 years is not enough for cultural change...and it is generally accepted that when someone forces you to do something (i.e. religion), you do exactly the opposite. This 33 years or Shah's tyranny says nothing but the unfortunate geographical position, oil and resources and historical issues which attracted lots of countries to take advantage etc...and yes since I've lived in Iran and Europe, I would confidently say that Iran has more atheists than eastern and central europe
@Alanadoredor 33 years doesn't seem to indicate a passing trend,, and it took much less time to remove the previous reign of tyranny under the shah. This speaks something of the people, and I've yet to hear of anything close to this magnitude happening anywhere in Europe, so as much as I'd like to take your word for it regarding your personal brand of statistics, I'll pass..

@honkeyssmalls Don't give the Islamic Republic of Iran a bad name by talking or thinking like that.
