Xerxes,

Islamists are not all bearded!

hi Ray, you are absolutly right ... but at the end of the day, it is the matter of perception when it comes to people. Average people wont know the difference between an person from lower (north) Egypt who has fair skin and a Europiean, while they do make a point of noticing a bearded man with dark skin and mentally classifying him as a terrorist

Perception is everything !!!

So please before coming with accusation against Iran of intolerance toward Christians, do take a look at your own countrymen who would want not nothing else then having all the "islamists" deported.

"islamists" is everyone who has a beard and is from ME

Hypocracy!!!!

What? I think you've posted to me by accident. FYI-Americans want to deport ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Read the papers, man!

siezing our embassy, Kidnapping our teachers, mudering our marines, throwing our disabled off cruise ships, and using our airplanes and thier passangers as instruments of indusrrial scale murder might have something to do with that. Muslims need to recognize that many of thier fellow co-religionist have waged war on the US now for decades.

They do indeed need to recognize that ... but what does your list of complains (that are quite valid btw) has to do with anything with what I have said. This is like a MEastern drawing up list of complains against the US and Israel, and finishing it up by saying Westerners need to recognize that many of thier fellow Westerners have waged war on the ME now for decades ...

I draw comparision between the complain of the treatment of Iranian Christians in Iran to that of bearded-OSB-looking-muslims-Americans in the West.

Christians - as a general rule - aren't currently best known throughout the world for seizing Muslim Arab embassies, kidnapping Muslim Arab and Iranian teachers, murdering Muslim Arab and Iranian soldiers and civilians - men and women - that are bound hand and foot, throwing disabled Muslim Arabs and Iranian off cruise ships, and using Muslim Arab and Iranian airplanes and their passengers as instruments of industrial scale murder.

I'm not saying the prejudices against the bearded Muslim that you speak about are right.

But they sure as hell haven't come out of absolutely nowhere.

I'm staying neutral in this argument, since I believe that both sides have valid points.

Umm, sorry, but I hadn't heard about all this persecution of Muslim Americans. Any links? Personal experience? Anecdotes? Anything?
