Iran Beats Women Over Dress Code

[JerrySeinfeld]

I would say that you (and others) are the ones dancing away from the issue of human rights. As I said in the other thread, it would be a great opportunity for people and the women's rights activists in the West to show the Iranian people where they stand on fundamental issues of freedom and human rights. Too bad you you don't agree with that concept. Your comments are a classic example of deflection of the debate from the salient issue.

You're assuming that my questioning of your motive in singling out one country means I condone Iranian actions. It doesn't, far from it. I've probably physically done more to voice my concern of human rights for MIDDLE-EASTERN women (not just Iran), than you - unless of course you think cherry-picking unfriendly nations to compalin about on the internet is doing something about women's rights. It's not, you are doing nothing constructive. Singling one country in order to malign the people of that nation does nothing other than incite hatred toward them.

Oh - so let's all get it straight. To bring attention to an injustice against women in the US is ACTIVISM. To bring attention to an injustice against women in IRAN is RACISM.

Got it.

Just more double standards, its okay for Palestinians to indoctrinate children and teach them about Jihad in the name of allah, and brandish fake Ak47s at a graduation, but when a small whacked out congregation does something rotten, its terrible you know. Yes it is, but Fred Phelps and the rest of his relatives don't form gov't policy or represent public school teachings and write public school textbooks. They are a small whacked out family not supported by any one else.
