Baha'is are very peaceful people who don't force their religion on others *cough*like Muslims/Christians for the most part*cough*.

THis story has brought tears to my ears. Thank your for sharing this video. Shohreh is an incredible mother, wife, daughter, HUMAN BEING!

& in the end, she is just asking for basic human rights for Baha'is. You may not agree with their beliefs. That really doesn't matter but please respect them for the human beings they are. Treat one the way you'd want treated.

It was no Need to take shots at Muslims & Christians, Your telling people to Respect Bahi Faith why don't you do the same with Other Religions. Sure it's religious people that do Force their Beliefs Just like it's Atheists that do the same, but you can't sit up & say Most or all of them. Also it's not always Soo much of People Shoving their Religion down people mouth, it is a such way of telling people about your Beliefs without condemning or Pressuring them.

Islam is the worst religion, i prefer to live with baha'is as with filthy muslims.

[thermionic1234567]

I miss The Shah!

[thermionic1234567]

I will second that, brother!

[TheJinkedful]

That is naive. Islam prescribes oppression for non-muslims; the most cursory reading of the Qu'ran would teach you that.

Thank you very much for your kind heart and courage, and for your support for the human rights. May God Bless you.

Mr Backward jerk, still you have held the illusion that Iranian are Muslim. I dont blame that you believe in killing and persecuting Bhai's, I blame on barbaric culture of your religion. Kamikazi weren't terrorist, rather were patriotic to their countries, and not Muslim to blow themselves up at a school bus!!! I m not leftist nor communist, for sure I m not religious of any kind. If you dont want Khomeini's regime, why you dont leave people alone to choose their own way of life and their God?

[ImperialGuardOf Shah]

It's the same when you call kurds, arab because they are muslims.

God bless Shah.He became the thorn in the British & the American eyes for defending Iran's right for not wanting renew the oil on their term. The ignoble westerners removed him in an staged revolution to stop Iran's fast race for progress. Meanwhile they coudnt care for the 32 years of pain suffering & injustices they have caused on Iran. Jimmy Carter & the evil Brits R the true fathers of the Khomeini revolution of 1979 in Iran.

[toomaj karimi]

So you are not blaming Islam in any kind of forms? Could you show me a single Muslim democrat country on the face of earth? Have you ever seen any Buddhist, Shinto, Christian bomb-suicider?!? Please, go read the history of Islam and then put your comment. Anyway, I m here to hear your Idea and debate about Islam, Iran, democracy and Middle east.
