Today, I want to lighten things up a bit :) though we are thinking about one of the world's most serious issues: the Islamist danger to freedom.
Iran is a nation of 100 million people, ruled since 1979 by Islamist fanatics. As in China, many of the people are hostages to their own criminal regime. Many Iranians are not Muslim and some who are, hate their own "government".
Iran is known as the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Ironically, many countries that have suffered Iranian sponsored terror remain quite friendly to the fanatic islamists. Why? Follow the money.
Iran is the home of the Shiite branch of Islam, about 10 percent of the world's Muslim population. Since the death of Mohammed, they have fought bloody wars against the Sunni branch of Islam, based in Saudi Arabia. All this results from a dispute over who should have been the leader of Islam following Mohammed's death.
We'll take a look at one of the videos by Anni Cyrus, who was given away as a child bride. She grew up in Iran, but is an American. Despite her terrible experiences, she has a sense of humor when pointing out some of the ridiculous aspects of life under Islam. Any one of these can be my entry into the weirdest, funniest facts contest :), which by the way, we'll keep going.
By Wednesday you need to email me your entry. We'll keep track of points and you can cash in when we're done with virtual school. The theme this week must be funny or weird things about Islam. Take care not to post something that is too disgusting; try to aim for funny. If I think it's not appropriate, I won't include it!
