You should have said " Once, all Iranians were Zoroastrian." “all Iranians were once Zoroastrians”
No, that hasn’t been true for over a thousand years. You should have said ” Once, all Iranians were Zoroastrian.”

Never Again – No More Stinking Final Solutions!

Good Morning Super Babe,

The world must never forget the “Big Lie” and “The Final Solution.” Also Hitler wasn’t the originator of this Evil and madness as some have noted this has strong Islamic historical roots.

We must stick on this story like stink on poop and run it to ground. There is no excuse in the free world for Final Solutions with the interconnectivity of the Net, the Blogos and the Army of Davids Effect

Lose the Army of Davids!

The book made my American blood boil. These Iranian true believers are no different - no different - from the Nazi storm troopers of the 1930s; filled with hate, rabidly anti-Semitic and imbecilic. Wait didn't we win a war against fascism 50 years ago?

As you will see from the comments on my post, there is no shortage of people who sort of believe this story. Amir Taheri's original article made some pretty definitive statements about the law requiring precise codes and colours for Jews, Christians and other religions to wear. I don't know how he came to do this. The fact that Ahmadinejad has expressed the intention of wiping Israel off the map is what has enabled the story to gain such instance credence. But it's all the more reason to be especially cautious in believing every story of the outrageous coming out of Iran. No doubt the Iranian regime and their many western sympathizers will make hay out of smearing the Taheri story as a supposed instance of a zionist plot against Islam.

Can't recall exactly who. No mention of yellow stripes and whatnot, but, there was, to me anyway, an interesting allusion to minority ethnic clothing.

Even in the case of Iran. For example, if the President is quoted as saying, "today's border is underfencified, we need more fencification in certain areas," then I'll find it hard to believe he really said it. It's a perfect match to the leftwing cynic's template. I'll just assume the "reporter" said to himself/herself, "the White House will never be able to prove he didn't say it, so what the hell." That's the problem today. I think "reporters" write whatever they believe they can get away with, and most of those getting away with it are on the left.
