Education helps. But you should recognize the value of being in touch with the reality, looking back at history, looking at root causes and learning from it, not hiding it behind such excuses and non-sense of a rhetoric.

Here ya go sport...Iran is about to execute "murder as you would say" a christian for not converting to Islam....
----------------------------------------------

Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who is facing the death penalty, again refused to convert to Islam to save his life.

Nadarkhani was arrested in 2009 for the crime of apostasy because he allegedly abandoned Islam for Christianity. As a pastor, Iranian clerics believe that Nadarkhani was preaching in order to convert Muslims. Before his last hearing Wednesday, Nadarkhani had been given three previous chances to repent, and all three times he has refused. After his final refusal Wednesday, no verdict has been announced, but many expect that he could be put to death as soon as Friday.

The case has slowly garnered international attention, and there are a number of Christian rights groups advocating for his release.

Iran is a racial country that invades other places.
We are good guys and we protect other countries.

There you go.

Was this the tub in question. By the way it's not on fire, this is typical of all ships in the Iranian Navy. The crew just has an open fire on deck to cook Chelo Kababs..Yum
