Quote of the Day
As an Islamic theocracy, Iran serves as a role model for the Islamic world. And as a role model, we cannot capitulate.

Why Iran resists giving up its nuclear program, even as Trump threatens strikes
The sponsor of terrorist activities for many decades considers itself the role model for the Islamic world? And that is ignoring the whole theocracy thing, the treatment of women, death to Jews, taxing of non-believers, death to protesters, mistreatment of women, and forced sexual transitions (or death) to homosexuals.
If they really are considered a role model in the Islamic world then that does not bode well for a civil relationship between the non-Islamic world and Islam. That makes certain decisions much easier.
Thank you Taraghi. It is good to have clarity.
Yes, it’s a role model for islamist theocracy, just as North Korea of Kim 3rd is a role model for communist totalitarianism. In both cases, a clear and easily understood example of why such a thing should not exist and should never again be allowed to emerge.
