Dianavan, disgruntled minorities are not the best sources of information regarding the source of their disgruntlement. Such people are, naturally, extremely biased, and perhaps the worst sources of information you can get. (Ahmed Chalabi, anyone?) "Members of religious minorities from Iran who are now refugees in Canada." This would be the Zoroastrian your daughter is going with? Look, I'm happy your daughter has found a nice, if woefully uninformed, guy, and it's nice of you to be supportive. But your statements about Iran this week have been... inaccurate is not a strong enough word. "Young schoolboys?" Iranian terrorists? When was the last time you heard about an Iranaian suicide bomber? Do you even know the difference between and Arab and a Persian? I mean, if you were living in a log cabin, in Siberia, in the 18th century, well, sure, I can imagine that you might believe everything the only Iranian you've laid eyes on might say about his homeland. But as you're posting on an internet forum, and thus have access to perhaps the greatest sources of information in human history, your ignorance is inexcusable. There is plenty of excellent, unbiased information, literally at your fucking fingertips, on Iran. Educate yourself, dammit. :)
