I believe that both sides are wrong. The Islamophobe view is so beat-up and the Islamophile view is clearly not at odds with reality. I have the same problem with Islam that I have with every other religion.

Heh, I just wish McCain would shut his pie-hole. The world doesn't revolve around the US and his hypocritically arrogant "we're more moral defenders of human rights & freedoms" than Obama, the Democrats, and the rest of the world etal; does more damage to the reformists in Iran and the Republican Party's image with the rest of the world. Talk about not being able to see the forest for the trees...

Ok that settles it, let's attack and take what's rightfully ours for whatever reason.

A detailed profile of Neda.

-edit-

Didn't Stalin do something like this? Or was it China? Security forces charging parents of slain protesters "bullet fees."

When Mr. Alipour didn't return home that night, his parents began to worry. All day, they had heard gunshots ringing in the distance. His father, Yousef, first called his fiancée and friends. No one had heard from him.

At the crack of dawn, his father began searching at police stations, then hospitals and then the morgue.

Upon learning of his son's death, the elder Mr. Alipour was told the family had to pay an equivalent of $3,000 as a "bullet fee"—a fee for the bullet used by security forces—before taking the body back, relatives said.

I like muslim chicks, like all chicks really. I don't like the way they are treated though.

Good riddance I say, we don't want any one associated with the regime in this country.

It looks like the Iranians are pretty desperate in looking for scape goats though. I think when Gordon Brown seems like a plausible scape-goat your really in trouble..
