Britain is a police state where living conditions are worse than "the jungle", a senior Iranian cleric said yesterday.

Mmm, a little over the top. We're not quite there yet!

Quote:

"Day by day, corruption, tyranny, felony, insecurity and different dangers are attacking human society," he said. "Just look at the fight against terrorism in Britain.

"All gatherings are under the microscope. People should know they are being watched.

"In cinemas, parks, streets and even in the railway stations, cameras are watching."

Claiming that police could "arrest anyone without any evidence or pressing charges", he asked: "Is this life for a human being? No animal in a jungle lives with the amount of insecurity that they have there."

He also castigated Britain for "spreading insecurity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine".

******, perhaps he's right after all. :shock:

Personally, I don't give a **** what he's got to say, who cares.
What's it got to do with him anyway :?:
The usual, too much to say and gets publicity for it.
Sort out the problems with your own religion.

Police state? The Iranians should know...

Churches and Christian training centers are routinely monitored and there has been widespread closure
of these institutions by the Ministry of Islamic Guidance (MIG), forcing many churches to go underground.
The Armenian and Assyrian churches have been allowed to stay open because their services are
conducted in the Armenian/Assyrian languages and because they have agreed to the government’s
demands forbidding Muslims and Muslim converts from attending the church services and refraining
from evangelism.

Circulation of Christian literature, including scripture in the Persian language, is banned. The office of the
Bible Society together with all Christian bookshops were closed in 1990. Several Christian leaders,
mostly converts from Islamic backgrounds, have been executed or assassinated. The deaths which
occurred in 1994 are particularly renowned and include Rev. Hussein Soodman, Mehdi Dibaj and
Bishop Haik.

Iran has earned itself an appalling reputation on the subject of human rights. Arbitrary detention, torture,
disappearance, summary trial and execution are not uncommon.
