Persia was one of the greatest cultures of the ancient world, a worthy opponent for both Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire. Modern Iran was one of the most advanced societies in the Middle East…and then 1979 came along and everything changed for the worse. Iran today is run by a mob of Dark Ages throwbacks who’ve driven the country into the ground.
Linda Rivera says
World famous Persian King Cyrus and other famous Persian Kings are wrote about in the Bible.
The wonderful kings are the complete opposite of the evil rulers of Iran.
The kings Honoured, Revered, Glorified, and Obeyed the HOLY ONE, our Glorious, Awesome, Majestic, Precious Creator.
Now to the King, eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be glory and honour forever and ever, Amen.

Same thing happened with Egypt, a once longtime prosperous and advanced civilization ruined by Islam. SMH

Lebanon used to be called the “Paris of the Middle East.”
Linda Rivera says
Christian Lebanon made the mistake of allowing many Muslims into their Christian nation. They paid for their tragic mistake with BLOOD and TEARS.
Muslims repaid the goodness of Lebanon’s Christians with Savage Genocides and SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE TORTURE SLAUGHTERS of Christians.
Beautiful Lebanon, the “Paris of the Middle East” is now an Islamic nation where Christians live in fear.
A lesson for the entire non-Muslim world.

The Iranian Revolution and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan both in ‘79 pretty much ended “The Hippie Trail”. The West wasn’t introducing its best with these WTs (World Travelers) in their quest for cannibis and hashish but there was some cross-cultural exchange taking place. The low cost journey from Europe to India through Iran had some risk but, at least, it was feasible. Not now, of course, with Sharia-complaint jihadis under every rock.

Persia or libia is allways the states that i use as an example for the comming of the religion of freedom or was it surrender. First they need help and are friendly, when their numbers increase then they set demands on the population and state, then when their numbers arrive at the point were they see it as god given that they rule, then they start their allah shit and the hurting and killing starts. This you can read, the stories of 56 nations that lost their freedom to the invaders. This story doesnt end by us no it will eat us up but that is wanted from the mighty aint it.
David Grisez says
The Ayatollah Khomeini was a great liar and deceiver. He told the people of Iran that he was going to remain in power just a short time. Instead he became a tyrant dictator over Iran who established his concepts of Shite Islam and Sharia law rule over Iran. He also trained his top student the Ayatollah Khamenei to take over and rule when he died. So these to men brought the modern country of Iran back to the Islamic Stone Age. Iran will only get out of the Islamic Stone Age when these Ayatollah and Mullah leaders of Iran are over thrown.

These are lovely pictures and I can see your point, but when I come across such comparisons, I can’t help but think what if they showed pictures from our progressive world with all the pride parades (I mean all the strange stuff in them), the naked and provocative people in social media and on tv, doing every perverted act, the young people who fall in the streets drunk and sleep around with anyone?
Unfortunately, both the people who have renounced God and His law, and the people who are in Islam, are under evil influence.
Of course, with all that said, I do realise and appreciate the vast difference between having a choice and the freedom to do what you choose to do in contrast to being under constant oppression and threat.
But comparing such pictures really makes me think… May the Lord God help us all with the revelation of Himself in our lives.
BareNakedIslam says
I have posted videos similar to this from Afghanistan, where the women once wore miniskirts.
Sofia2g says
I know you have, and it’s extremely sad to realize the contrast, and to think of the oppression of the people today, in those places. The freedom they enjoyed, the joy, and now to be in such desperate situations.
Let’s hope there will be people who see these photos and videos, and maybe will stop and think, what has happened to us, what is the cause?
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, one can only hope.

One of our stupidest President, Jimmy Carter, didn’t back Iran and the Shah. That’s how Khomeni got in and revived the long-dead Caliphate, with all the craziness that has followed. We’ve been paying the price of Carter’s stupidity for years and years.
BareNakedIslam says
Yes, we have!
Shivers says
Absolutely, how can so many people not know of the Shah’s overthrow and a civilized life enjoyed by people like you and me….can’t think it can’t happen here? Sweden has laid down their children to the mercy of “the religion of Peace”
Linda Rivera says
Jimmy Carter was not stupid. He was, and is, EVIL to the core. Jimmy Carter constantly bragged about being a Christian.
The LIAR.
Jimmy Carter is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that Jesus Christ in the Bible warned about.
WICKED Jimmy Carter was instrumental in destroying the good, decent Shah of Iran; the Shah’s regime and destroying the glorious nation of Persia (Iran)
EVIL Jimmy Carter’s hands are Covered with the BLOOD of INNOCENTS.
Leonard Gearhardt says
Sad. They have good universities there, and most people speak English, study all kinds of literature as well as medicine, physics, sciences, maths, history – they have to be careful, outwardly, but are surprising forthcoming at times. So dark; so unnecessary. But the dark side of Humanity has its drives, and those always involve killing lots of people, nihilistic goals, thinking they should be as gods, and bad outcomes. Israel will have to take the nukes out, and there’s big fat hints the US will help them so long as the other hand doesn’t know.
