  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Islamic Republic on Wednesday celebrated the 47th anniversary of the revolution that toppled the monarchy led by the Shah and, eventually, led to the creation of the current mullah regime under the first “Supreme Leader,” Ruhollah Khomeini.

As every year, the festivities were accompanied by raucous displays of hatred and hostility toward Israel and the United States, which Khomeini had dubbed the “little” and “great Satan,” respectively.

One of the “high” points of the state-sponsored mass rallies this year was the burning of a statue of Baal, the ancient Canaanite god often mentioned in the Bible.

The statue was adorned with Israeli flags, a picture of U.S. President Donald Trump, and had a Star of David carved into it, apparently meant to associate the deity, which the biblical Israelites had fought against, with the modern state of Israel. The statue was eventually torched amid chants of “Death to Israel.”
