Just ask an Iranian American Jew about the real evil and threat from Iran’s regime

I was recently approached by a non-Jewish American friend who point blank asked me why Iranians and Iranian Jews living in the U.S. were so opposed to the regime in Iran. “Jews are not mistreated in Iran, besides why are you guys making such a big deal about the Iranian government getting nuclear technology?“ he asked. It took about two hours for me to explain the true nature of Iran’s regime to him in order for him to realize the very serious threat that that government poses to the world. He was obviously brainwashed by some left leaning media outlets that have little knowledge of the mentality and true ideology of Iran’s radical Islamic clerics. The journalists or editors of such online or offline outlets have obviously never spent a single day living in Iran as religious minorities or understand the Persian language to grasp the sad reality of the reign of Iran’s clerics on that country.

After my two hour lecture, I suggested my friend chat with middle-aged or older Iranian Jews or other Iranian religious minorities about their experiences of living under the rule of the Ayatollahs. I also gave him the following five talking points to discuss with Iranian American Jews so as to better under the extent of the Iranian regime’s evil:

1) The countless hardships religious minorities such as Jews encountered when they cannot obtain certain educational or work advancements in Iran under this regime.

2) The difficulty religious minorities in Iran face in getting real justice, fair judgments on lawsuits and fair hearings in Iran’s courts which treat Jews and other religious minorities as second class citizens with limited rights.

3) The sad fact that women and children regardless of their religion are considered the “chattel” of their fathers or husbands, with very little if no rights of their own under Iran’s radical Islamic laws.

4) The Constitution of Iran’s Islamic government which calls for global jihad with the objective of forcing everyone on the face of the earth to convert to the fundamentalist Shiite Islamic form of religion practiced in Iran.

5) The billions of dollars in assets and property Iranian Jews and other opponents to Iran’s current regime were forced to forfeit in order to escape Iran in the late 1970’s and 1980’s.

If anyone has any question about the very serious threat Iran’s current government poses to the U.S., Israel and the rest of the world with their pursuit of nuclear weapons, then let them chat with some of the Iranian Jews living in Southern California. Let them hear for themselves first hand of the horror stories from Iranian Jews who lived under the current Iranian regime of being physically abused, threatened, imprisoned and mistreated. Let them chat with Persian speaking experts on Iran and Iranian religious minorities who will give them correct translations of documents proving the true extend of the Iranian government’s financial support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. If Iran’s current leaders have had such a horrid treatment of religious minorities in their own country, imagine what unthinkable attoricities they have planned for all of those outside Iran who do not follow their brand of radical Shiite Islamic beliefs!

If you think that any sane leader in the West can sit down and negotiate with the radical Islamic leaders of Iran’s government, you’re sadly mistaken! Only debilitating international sanctions and diplomatic isolation can decimate Iran’s regime which is teetering on the brink of economic collapse. Go ahead and ask the Iranian Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, and Bahais living in America what true evil lies in the hearts of Iran’s leaders today.

Following are some lovely charts which also show the immense danger Iran’s government poses to the world:

Your article is right on target. It is quite telling that Iran’s best musicians are in exile in the United States. Iran neglects its minorities and oppresses its trade unions. A firestorm is brewing because Iran is pouring hundreds of millions into war and neglecting its infrastructure. While it is busy playing with nukes, Iranians are paying sky high prices for gas because there are no refineries in the country.
  Keep on speaking up.

Right on the mark.  I’ve been searching on the internet for more information about Iranian radicals living here on the west coast.  I had a very bad incident at LA Fitness 2 weeks ago from an Iranian who claimed to be a political scientist here in San Diego.  One minute he is shaking my hand telling me he is my cousin.  The next minute he is talking about Jews ruining American, controlling American and all the banks.  “Name one bank the Jews don’t own.“  When we got outside the fitness center, he threw about twenty curses at me and was repeatedly cursing me, “Fucking Jew, Fucking Jew, Fucking Jew

guys,why we dont face the truth,which is before the revolution there was a lot discrimination in iran to minoreties.why you dont want to say that it is much easier now for them to live there.if there are problems in iran,it is for everyone a problem.it is not because you are a jew or bahai or anyone else.many decenia’s before revolution the iranian people were trying to develop them selfs,the father of shah and the shah him self were the big examples.but the european imprealism didn’t want to see a powerfull iranian nation.we all know that the britian and amerika throw our kings away.so if the soft way doesn’t work to bring power into our country.the let’s try the hard way which is the revolutionery style.it is too bad that the persian minorities of the different religions and backgrounds let them selfs used by european securite agents to make a divide in the country.if you are claiming to be rightfull stay in iran like a man and say your word and bundle your powers together then you will achieve a lot,instead of telling the online the bullshit that the ordinary persian are in safe haven and the goverment is only bad to you.you dont make your self good buy seeing that your a jew and by that a good man.you persians out of iran are so bunch of naive people and you dont want iran beeing strong and say his words.you a iran being weak and attacked by every country.by this even a persian who doesn’t like the islam at all like me,really wants this government to protect our borders from israel and US and other fanatic arabian country’s.
zende bad strong iran,even a islamic iran.

“Iran’s objective is to force everyone on the face of the earth to convert to the fundamentalist Shiite Islamic form of religion practiced in Iran.“

Really?  Why haven’t they forced all the Jews in Iran to convert? Or all the Christians? Or all the Zoroastrians?

Why haven’t they attempted to convert the nation of Armenia, which is one of Iran’s allies in the region?

Why does Iran maintain good relations with the Vatican?

If a prosecutor to prosecute a person for an alleged crime, they have to raise facts and produce evidence to the extend of beyond reasonable doubt, even to create a series of false evidence. On this ratio, the West, from the day one of the history of human kind, has been continously struggle to have this done against Iran or Islam as what all of us could observe right now. As expected, Islam should fight back continously even all of Muslims have to die…....jihad. Muslims have no doubt that the reward is Heaven, what else do they need?

1)Suppression of minorities and treating them as second rate citizens is not necessarily a modern Iranian phenomena, it is one of the fundamentals of Islam designed to encourage/force non-Muslims to turn into Muslims. One of the reasons initially Islam grew rapidly in countries it captured was this fact. There are also other factors like excess taxes that applies to non-Muslims to force/encourage them to change.
2)Treatment of women as second rate citizens is also not an Iranian phenomena but an Islamic phenomena.
3) Desire for a global dominance, jihad and turning the world into Muslims is also not just an Iranian phenomena but and Islamic phenomena.
4)Initially 1428 years ago, Muslim Arabs started their adventure in countries that were populated by Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and pagans. After 1428 years, only a small fraction of these populations (around 1% or so) stayed as non-Muslims. Obviously, the campaign of fear, suppression and jihad has worked perfectly for Muslims and help them convert a large part of the world into Muslims and they will continue doing so.
