Oh, your other personality came back to play! Goodie. Of course, everything I say will be skewed to you, because I'm a non-Muslim...which is odd since you were inviting discussion, and the possibility that you would have to admit you're wrong earlier. Sorry to rain on your lecture series. If it makes you feel better, I've taken the "How Persian are you?" quiz online, and scored better then my friends who actually are Persian.
Anyway, I told you to question the Shaheeds use of Koranic scriptures, and you blamed Israel instead. There was no misunderstanding there, just a difference of opinion.
Meanwhile - is change really why fear voicing your opinions in Bahrain, or does Tehran's Court 1410 really have something to do with why you fear using your newfound "freedoms". Be honest.

Press freedom shrank daily during 2004 in Iran, one the world’s 10 countries most repressive of the media. Countless threats hang over journalists and they are beaten when thrown in jail. The country has for years been the Middle East’s biggest prison for journalists.
We're talking about generations indoctrinated with hate propaganda, so how many years of a sort of kind of almost free press, but not really does it take to un-do that damage? Look how mislead Americans can be even WITH freedom of expression. Bragging that you live in Iran, and therefor are aware, and superior in knowledge when it comes to topics such as Islamic relations towards outsiders...wellll come on now. The majority of your outsiders got tossed out a long time ago, while here in America, major cities are full of Muslims. You can't leave your door in Israel without coming into contact with Muslims, either. So I agree with you when you talk about you surrounding yourself with people of other cultures, to help better understand them.... but you've been out of Iran for what, three months now?
Honest question, and I'm not baiting you .... but did you know any Jews in Iran?
