I saw something on the news the other day about this again, something about some Iranian officials claiming it is all just so the world will dislike the Persian. Isnt it funny how hard it is for some people who come from a country with state run television, or really all media, to understand free speech? Frank Miller made a comic book about this and I am sure Iran wasnt in the forefront of his mind when he was writing about this great battle. I wonder why no one has said anything to Iran about inciting hatred towards other nations? Wipe Israel off the map or Death to America, but we cant even make movies about actual events from almost 2500 years ago without being accused of inciting hatred
Iranians angered by the movie 300

The actual event of that battle was a bit different. For one thing, there were a thousand soldiers from another citystate fighting side-by-side with the Spartans.
The Iranians could have pointed that out as historical intolerance in the movie.
Actually the 300 Spartans were joined only by about 700 others, not thousands, which was shown in the movie. The Iranians couldnt have pointed out anything because it is wasnt made to be an actual portrayal of events, it was made based on real events for entertainment purposes, and they did a decent job. I dont need a movie to tell me that the Persian/Iranians are the scum of the Earth

Actually at first they were jointed by thousands of other Greeks. But when those Greeks decided to pull back then there was just the three hundred or less Spartans with about a thousand Thespians or whatever they called themselves. They might be the Lesbians as people from Lesbos, but I think there were called something like Thespians. The people that sided with the Spartans, not the people from Lesbos.
You are wrong unless you say, "base on mainstream idolized events."
And Jesus, Buddha, Moses, and Mohammad feel the same about you. You need to stop treating people as though they were less than dirt. Saddam was by far worse of a person than the Iranians. At least give them that credit. Plus it was the Persians that liberated the Jews from their Babylonians persecution. Without the Persians, it is hard to say if Christianity would have ever existed.
Zoroastrianism is was a large part in the structure of modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
The basic foundation of Zoroastrianism is a bipolar structure of ultimate good vs. ultimate evil.
In christianity you have god vs. the devil.
In Judaism you have god vs. man. God was basically both good and evil, but it was man's actions that made him good or evil.
In Islam you have god vs. polytheism. Idol worship is considered to be one of the greatest evils.
Zoroastrianism pre-dates all faith except for Abrahamic Judaism, Jainism, Hinduism, and Pagan Faiths.

Show me a link that reflects this
I dont have to say anything to make my statement correct, the movie is a movie created by an independent film maker who more than likely hates the US government and doesnt support the war in Iraq. The fact that the Iranians want to make a big deal about it just shows the world once again that they are ignorant, juvenile and interested only in conflict.
Wow I am glad that you can speak for prophets, tell me more about me. I treat no one as if they are dirt unless they deserve to be treated so, and the Iranians do. I dont care who they liberated however many years ago, and I dont care if Christianity did ever exist, I have my own beliefs anyway. Iran is disgusting and they will get theirs at some point or another

Call an individual disgusting, Call a government disgusting, but DO NOT call a whole nation disgusting. They have their way of life and you have yours. Because you do not agree with someone and their points of view, you have no right to call them 'disgusting'
Its called discrimination, last I heard.
That truly is unjustice.

Lets all bear that in mind the next time we say UK this or America that hay.
if you read a little bit you will notice all but 1000 of them were dismissed
you better let everyone know that so they think twice before speaking of america again
Also just to make it very clear I feel most of Iran are disgusting and since I live in a country that advocates freedom I have all my rights to call them that, especially when I see thousands gathering chanting death to america, but no I suppose I should respond with Death to Iran, actually I will just not on this forum because that would be against the rules :skeleton:
