Re: The Hitler-Like Basis of the Iranian Regime\'s Ideology
[ QUOTE ]
Ahmedinejad is a nut. I agree with you that it would be muc better for the Iranian regime not to have nuclear weapons. But if the regime's intention is really the Nazi-like genocide of Jews, why hasn't it killed its own small Jewish population? Or anything remotely approximating that? (Please don't respond with examples of mistreatment of Jews in Iran. I am well aware of them. But nonetheless Iran is not anything like Nazi Germany for its Jewish population).
Silly arguments like this just push people into over-sympathising with the likes of AJad. Also conflating the likes of Salafai zealots and Khomeni-ists is just ignorant.

Good point that the Iranian regime only mistreats its Jews; it doesn't slaughter them. I'm not positive that the Iranian regime would commit absolute genocide anyway. I suspect that at least they wouldn't mind it very much, though. Let's not forget that they do back and support the genocidally-aimed Hezbollah and Hamas organizations, and that Iran does have a penchant for working through proxy. Maybe one reason they haven't been harder on their own resident Jews is because the regime doesn't yet feel powerful enough to act without fear of serious repercussions.
