of that calibre. What does it make for unemployment, growth, investment in iran, why not broadcast how people should finger themselves for vozou as akhoundizadeh culture. Instead of addressing economic woes, let's spread the "doctorate of dohakouni" and prevent the people from getting knowledge, culture, education, how to survive in a global economy where often more than two languages are required to get to a good position... I want to laugh but it makes me cry about what they are doing to iran

problem with some/many religious leaders is that they want people to live in the past and suffer on earth so they will be rewarded with a glorious afterlife.
3. CURSED BY OUR RELIGIOUS 'LEADERS'

Titled: Consistently Backward Plus Lacking Both Reason And Logic
Such flawed 'religiously delusional', hence very limiting thinking ability, is what makes our world the dissonant place that it has become.
Woe is to our 'not yet entirely advanced' sapien sapien stage of evolution.
By the way,
even Goddess and God(more likely of female gender, if any gender at all), is/are disgusted with religion and the dangereous, divisive, deadly, 'murder-and-die-for' mindset that religious thinking creates!
4. NOPE! ISALM AND ARABS RUINED IRAN FOREVER

One look at every Muslim country just tells you that how much Islam had damaged any hopes for humanity in them.

8. Iran has become worst than zimbabwe and other banana republi

i remember my time in swiss boarding schools where you saw sons of emirs coming to nights clubs in ch and offer packs of whisky to everyone and buying very possible girls while they preached islam at home. It reminds a story recounted to me about a prominent ayatollah who just a few weeks before the takeover of the embassy in Tehran took his chivas and walked on his turban saying here I ma in good company, islam is when I m with the poor. The sons of those clerics have fortunes and a future abroad, they pay for the best possible education but for the 'poor people' they fed them garbage. What a historic mistake to have let go of the shah, even if he was authoritarian , he was a "despote éclairé" acting for the common good while these thieves are there to steal and sunk the country until the people will be so desperate that they would rather die but would come to kill all of the bearded thieves. They are pushing the country towards a civil war
9. TITLE SHOULD SAY "IRAN BANS ANY FORM OF BRAIN DEVELOPMENT"
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (01.09.18)
Iranian Islamic values??? Islam is not Iranian. It is from Saudi Arabia. So the mullahs decry Saudis, but take their religion and change it to their own weird version?
