DogOnPorch Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 I do not know the background of those executions. It was not part of your post. Sure you didn't... Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
kactus Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 Right...and you told me I should just enjoy the music as the bodies sway. Don't be daft Quote
DogOnPorch Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Don't be daft You and Big Guy admire Iran. I have to assume you approve of their methods if you're supporting them. Edited June 14, 2016 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Do I have to defend my position vis a vis the link big guy posted? I don't think so. It is cultural and has nothing to do with hanging pictures you randomly place here.... Quote

DogOnPorch Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) You have missed the point.... You seem to have implied it was Iran's 'culture' to hang homosexuals from cranes. Not a part of the justice system. Did The Shah also murder gays? Edited June 14, 2016 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

The Shah did not execute homosexuals for being so unlike the current fellows in charge. The Shah's wife, Farah, was also a big fan of women's liberation...so she kept the Shah in line re: women's rights in modernity. Iran used to be a close friend of both Israel and the USA before the Islamic fascists took over in 1979. Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Iran used to be a close friend of both Israel and the USA before the Islamic fascists took over in 1979.Whilst this is true is it only the bit that iran was a close friend of Israel back then that appeals to you? I mean in all honesty if iran under the shah was exactly the same as you described but hostile towards israel would you still hold the same opinion? Hmmm i don't think so Edited June 14, 2016 by kactus Quote

kactus Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 Iran was a much better place under The Shah. Same shah whose father you described as nazi sympathiser? Common make your mind up... Quote
DogOnPorch Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 Same shah whose father you described as nazi sympathiser? Common make your mind up... The Shah's father was a Nazi sympathizer and invited German officials to Iran for strategy meetings frequently. Iran was renamed from Persia in honour of Hitler's rise to power. Stalin was taking keen interest in this activity and when Germany invaded the USSR in 1941, used the opportunity to invade Iran and instill the pro-Allied Shah...not only to protect his flank but to hopefully take the oil fields. Churchill was having none of this and 'co-operated' with Stalin on the invasion of Iran so that Britain could take control of the oil fields rather than Stalin. Smart move it proved to be as the USSR along with Iranian communists tried to make Iran part of the USSR in 1946. I encourage you to read-up on your own nation's history.

Also if Iran under the shah was hostile towards Israel would you still have the selective recollection of saying good things about iran? Edited June 14, 2016 by kactus Quote

His son, The Shah, was pro-Allied all the way. Iran and Israel had good relations under The Shah. Everybody prospered. Edited June 14, 2016 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.

Everybody prospered. I thought that wouldn't wash well with your mufti argument where you blamed everything on him. But apparently it is okay to have a relation with Iran whose leader was a nazi sympathiser of kozac origin just because shah iran was friendly towards israel.... This is it everything with you revolves around Israel. If iran under the shah was hostile towards israel you wouldn't say nice things about iran Quote

He lived to a ripe old age and died in 1974. At least he got to see the Arabs defeated yet again in another surprise attack on Israel called the Yom Kippur War...or the October War for you. Before you were born, no doubt. Edited June 14, 2016 by DogOnPorch Quote Nothing cracks a turtle like Leon Uris.
kactus Posted June 14, 2016 Report Posted June 14, 2016 The point remains that your selective approach to praise one country whose leader was a nazi sympathiser (as you put it) over mufti shows your bias is just in favour of whichever country is friendly towards israel. A bit hypocritical me thinks.... Quote
