    I’m not talking race, but religion. And yes, I don’t think ANY of the Abrahamic religions are a good and equitable basis for government. I firmly believe in separation of church and state.

    Practice whatever you like. My rancor is for instilling any of those practices in government. I weep for the women in Iran. No one should be forced, and they are forced, to live like that.

          But the old government that was horrible to its people (unless you’re family was elite) while it was a secular government.

          Read up why they got this new government. Just look up their revelation from a few decades ago. Islam isn’t the issue; this government is making a pitiful attempt at keeping foreign hands out of its business.

          In fact read up why Iran became Shite. It was to obtain a distinct identity in respective to the Turks and the Arabs. Which is crazy; the Iranians, Turks, and Arabs still retain their culture differences and will most likely always do so.

          So, yes. Ignoring all of the problems caused by foreign interference is bigoted; as you are blaming these people’s problems on their lifestyle when the the problem is much bigger.
