For those who live in Iran

[England]

It doesn't matter what the Quran or Surah or whatever it is says. The most important thing is the actions of people.

It is funny that he said the Quran tells Muhammad.

Muhammad was dead when the Quran was invented. Muhammad didn't write the Quran, Muhammad wouldn't even recognize the Quran if he had saw it, and he definitely didn't read the Quran.

If you asked Muhammad about the Quran, he would say, "WHAT?!"

your ignorance will destroy you if you're not carefull. i suggest you keep keep a tight lip over things you know nothing about, so that words spoken out of ignorance/jest/hatred don't come back to haunt you in the future.

a better suggestion is to open your heart and mind by getting better educated on Islam, but i know you'll just laugh and ignore me....and try to respond in a 'clever' way.....in that case, my first suggestion is better for you, keep in mind your words does nothing to hurt islam...but hurts you instead.

i have a hard time believing that you are falling for US media propaganda. if you want to know the condition of the iranian children, maybe you should take a visit to iran and see for yourself what's going on instead basing your opininion from a 1 hour tv show?

Um................that would be a wee bit difficult since Ted Koppel was the last US citizen who was given a visa to Iran. Might want to get a little refresher course on your current events before posting on them.

and you know what? maybe some good would come from the death of america as it exists today. look at what america has become in the last 10 years... historically, america has been a greater threat to the world. how can we, in our hearts not wish for our country to change, after what the government has done for it.

Wishing in my heart for the gov't to change is a nice butterfly and rainbow thought but in actuality the only thing a US Citizen can do to make change is to protest, vote and pray. I have done all three. In order for Iran to invoke change they can enter into dialogue. Insha Allah they will be doing this very thing soon but they really need to open up the diplomatic channels a heck of a lot more before any good can come of this. Kidnapping and torturing US Embassy employees is not the way to open up the gates of compromise.

All around the world, people's lives are being turned upside down because of this country, and all we do sit in our fancy air conditioned homes and shake our heads in judgement based on what we see on a TV show or the news.

I don't have a fancy air conditioned home. :X

It's so easy for the media to perpetuate the image that arabs/muslims/iranians are radical extremists....all they have to is show some dark skin man holding an AK47...and the average jo american believes it.

This documentary was not perpetuating any image about arabs/muslims. They were simply showing how life in Iran is. Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians.:rollseyes

there is no 'terrorism threat' there are no major al quadea cells anywhere. this is government propaganda that has emerged post 9/11 to be used as a fear tactic to control the masses.

Tell that to the families in London, etc. that incurred casualties from these nonexistant terrorists post 9/11.

tell me, did the documentary show these little children learning math and science in schools? maybe the documentary showed these children learning 5 pillars of islam in the masajids? maybe the chant 'death to america' draws more sponser $$$. How many american advertisers would sponser a show that shows a democraticly stable iran? has Ted Koppel done a docmentary on the 'tolerance' that exists in isreal?

i am current on my world events...but i don't get it from TV. I don't trust the major evening news/anchors shows just as i don't trust the news from the 700 club. I remember a few years back, the 700 club had a little piece on the 'radical' afgans breeding terrorist children in dirty rooms that were supposed to be schools....and the expose showed children reciting quran in a trance like state.

just like kidnapping our brothers and sending them to cuba? the US has no intention in talking to iran....sadly, i think they will attack iran regardless of what happens. They attacked iraq, the will attack iran, and after iran, they will try to attack syria. in my heart, i hope it won't happen...but i think it will

and just for arguements sake, can you send me reuters or ap sources verifying US Embassy employees have recently (in the last 2-3 years) have been kidnapped/tortured in Iran?

I don't have a fancy air conditioned home. :X

it was just an expression to say how most of us are lucky to be living the goodlife here at home while our brothers and sisters suffer in other countries. I avoid judging what i might here or see because only Allah knows best what is really happening.

This documentary was not perpetuating any image about arabs/muslims. They were simply showing how life in Iran is. Iranians are not Arabs, they are Persians.:rollseyes

i c... so just because they are Persians, it makes it ok....who cares if they are our brothers and sisters, right?

Tell that to the families in London, etc. that incurred casualties from these nonexistant terrorists post 9/11.

That was a criminal act perpetrated by criminals, just as is murder, bank roberies, and so on. but when it comes to crimes commited by middle easternish muslim looking men, then that is an act of terrorism.

Christian fanatic Eric Rudolph pleaded guilty in deadly bombings at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and a Birmingham abortion clinic. He justified the bombings by saying that Jesus would condone "militant action in defense of the innocent." And yet, to this day, nobody calls this man a 'terrorist' or a 'christian terrorist'. Theodore Kaczyinski is given the flashy label 'The Unabomber" sounds like some sort of superhero film you'd see in theaters.

Crime exists in all walks of life, and i'm not saying we live in a dream wonderland with sugar coated trees and pink bunnies that poop silver dollars.... there is some diabolical group out there hell bent on taking out the world, but there numbers are fewer than what is made out to be.

Iran has been and continues to be highly Nationalistic; the tactic the “Revolution” is trying now is the same one that Hitler’s Nazi party cowed all of Post WW1 Germany with. Instead of Iranians focusing on their economy, the money they each give to Hamas and Hezbollah, the increasing intolerance the Farsi Shia are showing the other 40% of Iran, the bloggers revolution, the talk of open rebellion from Arab’s on the frontier and the way Iran hides the fact that the Ayatollah is out of step with the growing middle class, the “Revolution” is attempting to unite Iran under a banner of fear, intolerance and hatred. It will fail.

Heyyyy....sounds just like what's going on in America....

America has been and continues to be highly Nationalistic; the tactic the "Republicans" is trying is the same as one that Hitler's Nazi party cowed all of Post WW1 Germany with. Instead of Americans focusing on their economy, the money they each give to Isreal and to Funding the War in Iraq, the increasing intolerance the neocons are showng to the other 90% of America, the internet revolution, the talk of rebellion from the Americans in the polls, and the way America hides the fact that King George is out of step with the entire country, the "Republicans" is attempting to unite Americans under a banner of fear, intolerance and hatred. It will fail.
