About halfway through I expect to experience one of three things… a huge tomato fight, the releasing of bulls down the road or the announcer to start yelling GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There’s no crackdown coming for this. It’s spreading too hard and too fast. This is going to be civil war.
Oh, and many of the mullahs–the non-establishment ones–are supporting the insurrection.
For someone who doesn’t really follow the news, like me, it’s a bit hard to tell what’s going on here. Anyone care to explain what all this rhubarb is to me?
Strange but true…Christians,Jews,and Zoroastrians each have one seat reserved in the Iranian Parliament.
Not that strange, really: Islam is required to make some allowances for “People of the Book,” which includes Jews, Christians, and some others as well. Exactly who the others are varies depending on who you’re talking to, but the Zoroastirans have been occasionally considered “People of the Book” at one time or another. They make cameo appearances in the Bible, too.
You are exactly right,Republibot…the Magi in Luke were Zoroastrians
