Religious who follow instruction books from ‘God’ are good at basic reading and being able to memorize words and sentences.
Faith is the reverse. It doesn’t require instruction books.
This is what civil disobedience looks like in an Islamic Republic.

For 43 years women in #Iran have been forbidden to dance & sing in public or show their hair & they are saying enough. It’s really that simple.

BREAKING:

"Persia is mentioned many times in the Bible... In the Old Testament, the stories of Esther, Ezra, Nehemiah and Daniel came from the Persian Empire. Their physical evidence can be seen with the tombs of Esther, Daniel, Habakkuk and Cyrus the Great."

This vilification is enabling justification of mass murder in Gaza.
It is igniting religious patriotism and fuelling religious tensions.
It is also a result of Islamophobia.
It is simple that this does not advance peace. It’s a provocation, it’s aggressive.
We need solutions.
Israelis fear genocide and jihad from Muslims.
They’ve spread this fear around the world. They warn that they are not the only target.
There is a global campaign to surveil and monitor Muslims, and to defeat this potential threat.
We are moving away from the possibility of peace.
We must work to reverse this trajectory.
Grievances must be addressed from all sides. Justice for all.
Put aside animosity and begin to build cordial, constructive relations based on mutual benefit, respect, and common ideals.
We have more over-doses than ever before.
More mental illness than ever before, more disease, more cancer, more diabetes.
More crime.
More single parent households.
Less births.
It’s kind of strange how there are so many variations of the same stories told by different Abrahamic religions.
One emphasizes this, another emphasizes that.
One commonality: they each believe a final holy war and the return of their prophet.
1. Does the Bible mention the UN Balfour Declaration as the miracle to rebirth Israel?
2. a Bible verse calls Jews the Synagogue of Satan. Is that anti-Semitic?
3. Judas betrayed Jesus. There is currently a “Judeo-Christian” alliance. Do both sides have faith in each other?
