Telling between Toronto and Tehran
January 16, 2009 11:26 am Islam and the WestIn Canada those who dissent from the official line on Gaza from the unbearably pedestrian “Arab Street” are subjected to virulent hisses and dissuasion by the police. In Iran, however, all subtlety is tossed out of the window:
Security agents in plainclothes attacked a group of activists called “Mothers for Peace” who gathered in front of Tehran’s Palestinian Embassy to call for an end to the conflict in Gaza. A journalist told Radio Farda that “security forces who were chanting ‘Death to Peace Seekers’ beat me up, broke my colleague’s camera and used pepper spray on another protester.”
Savour the difference… while you can.
