Member of Religious Delegation Reports on Visit to Iran




"Did you know that from February 18 to 25, 13 U.S. religious leaders from a wide variety of churches — ranging from traditional peace-oriented denominations like the Quakers and Mennonites, who sponsored the trip, to Methodists, Episcopalians, Baptists and members of the Church of the Nazarene — went to Iran and had high-level meetings with the country’s current and immediate past presidents? Probably not, if your main news source is the mainstream corporate media, who these days seem to mention Iranians only when they’re questioning the Holocaust, calling for the destruction of Israel, building centrifuges to enrich uranium, holding American and British citizens hostage, or being targeted by U.S. military maneuvers off their coast. But the trip did happen, and Joe Volk, executive secretary of the Friends’ Committee on National Legislation (FCNL), spoke about his experiences in Iran to a San Diego audience at the Church of the Brethren June 13. "


The mullahs and their propaganda agents must be still laughing at the gullibility of these naive Christians. Read the whole article and weep.

I read this once before and it deeply embarrassed me! I am ashamed people can be so naive! As a Christian ,I ask your forgiveness on their behalf!

Serendip: At the time, a videoclip of their meeting with Ahmadinejad came out. I'm almost sure that I saw it here! So it didn't surprise me this time around.

Time of shattered hopes and believes. A while ago a group of Iranian leftist students in an Iranian university wrote a letter to Chavez and asked him how the heck he could shake hands with that moron Ahmaghinejad. What did they expect from a leftist dictator? Iranian Leftist students are learning the truth about Leftis lies the hard way. Who is going to teach these church groups about the truth? Will they at least try to listen? how the heck can people who live in free world side with facist dictators?

goli; I am afraid that many people in Venezuela are truly ignorant about Iran. When I start telling them the truth, they think I am fabricating it. And for them, Cuba is a paradise!! I feel as if I am banging my head against a brick wall at times.
