Christmas in Iran

[Nazarene]

The last thing the middle ast needs is more religion

Christianity has been one of the best vehicles for advancing societies around the world and we have yet to see what a modern Christian nation in the Middle East can do. The Middle East needs to adopt a non-aggression principle, where they stop trying to control the affairs of others.

If we could see culture from space like how we can city lights, Persia would be lit up like New York on New Year's Eve

Christianity has enjoyed infrastructure in the Near East and Africa longer than most anywhere else

It is currently the religion of the majority of your people, don't act.

I never said it wasn't. I said it wasn't mine. Anyway, there's no need for me to argue with someone who still believes in a bearded man in the sky who waves a magic wand. Grow out of it child, your god doesn't exist, neither does that pedophile allah. Fuck your god and fairytales.

Kids grow out of the tooth fairy and santa clause stage, you should grow out of your fairytale as well. You have nothing to look down on except for yourself. Don't blame shit on me, Iran had absolutely nothing to do with Europe ever since 2500 years ago. Blame your shit on the turks and Arabs. We didn't invade Spain nor did we take Constantinople.

lol , iran is more comparable to Saudi arabia than to Turkey, it is a joke to compare theocracy like Iran to Turkey. Many Pakistanis go to Turkey for vacations and enjoyment and it is same for other countries around the world but no one go to Iran for relaxing , only people that go to Iran are hardcore shia muslims as to many of them Iran is holiest place. Turkey is looked up as a model by many emerging Muslims countries who want to modernize themselves.

Iran is currently leading in scientific progress in the middle east. It was ranked 17th in the entire world a couple years ago. Look at some statistics. We are doing better than all middle eastern countries combined. Better than Israel and Turkey in different fields. Infact, Iran is currently doing better than Denmark and alot of eastern European countries in scientific research

Iran is politically backwards, scientifically its ahead of every country in that shithole. The statistics are there, look at them.

Iran doesn't need to look up to turkey. Im ok with no one going to Iran because the people need to learn to fix up the country. Don't involve yourself in something that has nothing to do with you.

I'm not blaming you personally, but your people still ally themseleves with this religion of destruction. Who are you to call me child you're the one talking about how Iran shouldn't take ownership for the disgusting stuff it's done in the last couple of centuries. I believe in an omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God, and it is only through Christ that there is hope for this world. You can keep on tipping your fedora and reusing the same irrelevant insults directed towards Christians. But just because you had a bad experience with Islam in your childhood, doesn't mean you should also run from the truth of the gospel.

Any prove or evidence? Most Iraqis were violently converted to Shiaism by the Safavid originally, but many just payed lip service to it. The real conversion to Shiaism in Iraq occurred by yes Lebanese Shia and Persian shia missionaries, especially in the 19th century as a political tool against Saudi expansion, as the Sauds had expanded into Najaf and Karbala. Also Iraq did host number of Persians before, but they never truly maintained their "difference" from the locals like say other ethnic groups. I do know that some of the Mullahs do have Lebanese origins, but they are mixed now anyways. Safavid Shiaism was very different and was a mix of Iranic, Turkic and Shia believes, until the Shah Ismail brought Lebanese missionaries to propagate the faith. Well I think they have an agenda this why they are pouring money into other areas rather than their own nation.

The reason why Iran chooses to pour money into other areas is because Iran is trying to prevent Israel from expanding any further. Many people don't realize that in order for Iran to change its regime, is to submit to the west. If this ever does happen, Iran will most likely suffer the same fate as syria, or even Iraq. Although, since there are 80 million living in Iran, it will be rather difficult since the people are too nationalistic. So its either a reform, or a civil war are the options.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad attended the Armenian church on the occasion of Christmas. He wrote in his Twitter: "Today in Iran, the Armenian community celebrated Christmas. I attended the church service with them and met many lovely people".
