Well for anyone that thought Iran hasn't completely gone nuts with hatred for Christians and Jews, take a look.

Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.

"This is reminiscent of the Holocaust," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, the dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles. "Iran is moving closer and closer to the ideology of the Nazis."

Iranian expatriates living in Canada yesterday confirmed reports that the Iranian parliament, called the Islamic Majlis, passed a law this week setting a dress code for all Iranians, requiring them to wear almost identical "standard Islamic garments."

The law, which must still be approved by Iran's "Supreme Guide" Ali Khamenehi before being put into effect, also establishes special insignia to be worn by non-Muslims.

Iran's roughly 25,000 Jews would have to sew a yellow strip of cloth on the front of their clothes, while Christians would wear red badges and Zoroastrians would be forced to wear blue cloth.

"There's no reason to believe they won't pass this," said Rabbi Hier. "It will certainly pass unless there's some sort of international outcry over this."

Bernie Farber, the chief executive of the Canadian Jewish Congress, said he was "stunned" by the measure. "We thought this had gone the way of the dodo bird, but clearly in Iran everything old and bad is new again," he said. "It's state-sponsored religious discrimination."

Ali Behroozian, an Iranian exile living in Toronto, said the law could come into force as early as next year.

It would make religious minorities immediately identifiable and allow Muslims to avoid contact with non-Muslims.

Identifying Mark For Christians and Jews

It's time for Cristians and Jews to COME OUT OF HER!

(dripping sarcasm here) ... why not? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad doesn't even believe the Holocaust took place

Another odd part in the article about crazy Iran guy is this:

"Mr. Ahmadinejad has repeatedly described the Holocaust as a myth and earlier this year announced Iran would host a conference to re-examine the history of the Nazis' "Final Solution."


Also it seems they want to identify Christians and Jews, so that the next step will be killing them outright. It will make it easier for them to do this when they see these colored badges on them.

Take a look at this guys: this was shown to me in a dream back in jan '03...if the dream is true, then this will be come standard here in the U.S

Yes....

it appears that stars and yellow badges are popping up in different interpretations around.

And God has taken me to a segment in scripture in Chronicles...I read a great deal and what had not made sense (mostly because I tend to sleep through large portions of pure history) made quick and perfect sense this time. What stuck out in my mind and haunts me is that fact that God punished the kings for aiding God's enemies.

For the last few days, He has been clarifying "our" enemies and "His" enemies...one we are to love and the other history had shown we are punished for anything less that ignoring them.

I don't think He is finished with the explaination yet. There is still that "You have not finished the concept" feeling.

We are hearing and seeing some interesting things coming out of the Islamic Middle East today. They seem quite Biblical and resemble the descriptions of prophetic visions for the time of the end. Could this marking action be a forerunner of the mark of the beast ? Maybe. Those who refuse to be marked because they are Christians or Jews ..... or any other "infidels" are a subject of Scripture in the Book of Revelation.

well, lovely

either way, we in Christ are sealed.
But, on the other hand, if it is true, that they passed this new law, means just ONE STEP closer!

New Iranian law to require Jews to wear yellow band
By JPOST.COM STAFF



Talkbacks for this article: 200

A new dress-code law reportedly passed in Iran this past week mandates the government to make sure that religious minorities - Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians - will have to adopt distinct colour schemes to make them identifiable in public, the Canadian National Post reported on Friday.

The talkback quota is full. To write a talkback, click here.

Under the new law, which still awaits final approval from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Jews will have to wear a yellow band on their exterior in public, while Christians will be required to don red ones.

If the law is approved, it is scheduled to go into effect at the beginning of next year.

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter responded to the new law Friday night, saying, "Whoever makes Jews anywhere wear the yellow star again, will find themselves in a coffin draped in black."

Furthermore, according to the law, the Iranian government has envisioned that all Iranians wear "standard Islamic garments" designed to remove ethnic and class distinctions.

The purpose for the law was to prevent Muslims from becoming najis "unclean" by accidentally shaking the hands of non-Muslims in public.

Ophir Paz-Pines, minister-without-portfolio responsible for culture, sports, science and technology, who is also a member of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee in the Knesset, called on the government's secretary to ensure the issue be immediately addressed during the next Cabinet meeting.

"The State of Israel was created after the Holocaust in order to ensure it would not be repeated. The yellow star is a bright red warning sign that obligates us to muster the entire world in the face of events there [Iran]."

Paz-Pines also called on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to make the issue his top priority when he visits Washington D.C. next week to meet US President George W. Bush.

Meretz Chairman Yossi Beilin said, "Israel could no longer be satisfied with warnings, and that the moment Jews are forced to wear the yellow band, Israel must act to evacuate all Jews from Iran." He added that, "Israel must stand at the forefront of efforts to separate Iran's crazy and Hitlerite regime from government control."

"The new law resembles the Holocaust," said head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, Rabbi Marvin Heir, and warned that, "Iran was nearing Nazi Ideology."

According to Army Radio, Wiesenthal Center officials sent a letter to United Nations Director General Kofi Annan urging him "not to ignore" the new law, and reminded him that, "The world ignored Hitler for many years."

The new law was drafted during the presidency of Muhammad Khatami in 2004, but was blocked. That blockage, however, has been removed under pressure from current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

According to Ahmadinejad, reported the National Post, the new Islamic uniforms will establish "visual equality" for Iranians as they prepare for the return of the Hidden Imam.

The final shape of the uniforms is yet to be established but there is consensus on a number of points.

The Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations released a statement saying, "We have been seeking to clarify these reports but do not yet have confirmation. There are clear indications that various Iranian government agencies, including the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, are working on new uniforms to be introduced in the fall.

"While such legislation would be reminiscent of dark periods in the past, like the Nazi era when Jews and others had to wear identifying badges, it is also consistent with the racist and extremist ideology propagated by President Ahmadinejad.

We are monitoring the situation and seeking to ascertain the facts in order to determine the appropriate response."

This is nothing new. Dhimmis were forced to dress differently from the time of Mohammed. It is just more fundamentalsm.

I think in this time period, it is just a bit daunting whether it be an original thought or not.
The holocaust tells us that this certainly isn't a "new" concept. It also strikes me that this Iranian madman would be doing this for future target practice more than anything else.


Mohammed said, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.”(Hadith Al Buhkari vol. 9:57)

5:51 “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he among you that turns to them for friendship is of them.”

Of the Unbelievers: Sura 4:89 “seize them and slay them wherever you find them: and in any case take no friends or helpers from their ranks

(Qur’an 9:14) "Fight against them (the Jews and Christians)! Allah shall punish them, at your hands."

(Qur’an 9:5)"Kill the unbelievers wherever ye find them, capture and besiege them and prepare for them every kind of ambush."
