Once again, I find it interesting that in the name of God, Iranian leaders conclude that their interpretation of their scriptures gives them license to suppress people using methods very much like the Shah. What we are seeing in Iran is an example of why American founding father separated religion and state. What we are witnessing is what happens when an ignorant population is mobilized in sufficient numbers by clever politicians who are fearful of losing power. That’s why they want inflict physical pain out of sheer hatred.
Comment: Can we ever become one people, one world in one accord? We continually allow cruel and despotic leaders to use hatred to stay in power? None of those brave demonstrators are doing so to worship another religion. Like them, I will not be suppressed by a religion so afraid of what I might choose to believe that they will harm me to make me believe, nor does God or Allah expect me to. That’s why there is heaven and hell! Do you agree?
