This whole debate comes down to whose been at war with whom and for how long. Just because Iran hasnt declared war does not mean Islam is not at war with the infidel and that governments controlled by theocratic fascists follow the mandates of their religion. Islam mandates that you exterminate the infidel and impose Islam on the world. End of story.

Well, Christianity mandates world conversion too (specifically the Catholics) and the Jewish scriptures command them to take advantage of Gentiles, and set up a world theocracy with only Noahide Gentiles as the slaves and Jews as the masters. Doesn't mean all Christians, Jews, and Muslims are terminally insane, but some of each group are.
Don't forget that the west invaded the muslim countries, NOT the other way around.

The last time I checked you were free to believe whatever you want in America and Israel. Of course there is going to be a majority religion, that does not mean the country is that religion. These are secular countries and Iran is a fascist theocracy. There is a huge difference.

Iran is indeed a theocracy, but they are hardly fascist. They are theocratic. Fascist means that the corporations and the state have merged. This is what Mussolini created in Europe.
Anyway, Iran has not invaded anybody. They are not out there with scimitars trying to convert people. They have christians and jews there, who are unmolested and who live their lives the same as the muslims.
The west, at the behest of the fifth columnists from both Rome and Jerusalem, have tried to convince the west that radical Islam is a huge problem, but all the while we support the most radical, theocratic, and brutal Islamic regimes going, like Bahrain, Saudia Arabia, and Yemen. These are nations that have actually attacked America. Chew on that for a minute, will you?

Iran is a theocracy. They are not fascist. Their corporations are not owned and directed by the state. This is the definition of fascism.
Iran's jews and christians are actually not under any threat of any kind. They have christians and jews in military and civilian positions, and they all appear quite loyal to their country.
If you want to talk about a country imprisoning and mistreating minority populations, you should talk about Israel. However, as you have clearly advocated double standards here, I doubt you will. Nor will you see the clear and present danger of a rogue nuclear state that has never let the IAEA inspect their nuclear facilities. I speak of course about Israel.

Everything is owned by the state. The Mullahs have absolute power. There is a law in Iran that they can even enter your house and kill your, they could rape your daughter, and still there would be no penalty for their crimes.

You're free to think whatever you like. I simply don't think Iran presents any credible threat against the USA, and does not have that capability at all. Nor is there any evidence that they oppress christians or jews there.
Israel recently tried to get the Iranian jews to come live in Israel, and they got literally NO TAKERS. That tells you something right there.

I think that you've smoked too many doobies wrapped up in MEMRI and DEBKA press releases.
Iran and North Korea mainly keep to themselves. North Korea is actually a lot more of a credible threat than Iran is, but North Korea won't do anything unless they are attacked first, just like Iran.
I refuse to buy into your Hasbara blather about Iran. They just want to be left alone, and I say, great - leave them alone. I am against the idea that the USA has to swoop in and save anybody. If the Iranian people, or the North Koreans for that matter, want a regime change, they will arrange and execute it themselves.
It's ironic that you mention that I have fallen for propaganda, though, because all the propaganda coming from the media is coming from fifth columnists and dual citizens, who want the USA to come into the middle east and destroy another one of their regional neighbors.
America's not going to fall for it. Sorry.

Well said my friend. I wish more people would wake-up and realize the propaganda they shovel to us on a daily basis. You would think after the American people were lied to about Iraq and WMD's a light would go on. Unfortunately, the forces that be and the media have the majority of Americans brainwashed.

If you want to talk about a country imprisoning and mistreating minority populations,Look at the U.S...What percentage of the World's prison population do we have? And what percentage of those are minorities? Lol, way to ignore the facts.
Its amazing how rhetoric can be beaten into somebodys head so many times that they start repeating it themselves.
The majority has really bought into Iran's propaganda.
Look into the mirror...it is you who has bought into the propaganda against Iran, and it is you who is spewing out propaganda.

just to address one point, have you ever looked at a globe? Iran is nowhere near north korea, nor do they have any really meaningful ties to them. Both Afghanistan (full of American troops remember?) and China, are between the countries. Obviously your extensive research has not included looking at where both countries are!
