Skyrad 0 #1 December 21, 2011 Thought this was an interesting story. An Iranian Muslim diplomat in Paris during the second world war saved more than 2000 Jews from the Nazis. Even when stripped of his position he used his own inheritance to save more Jewish people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16190541When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

shah269 0 #3 December 21, 2011 QuoteSardari never sought recognition for his work during his lifetime, insisting he had only been doing his duty. He died a lonely death in a bedsit in Croydon, south London, in 1981, after losing his ambassador's pension and Tehran properties in the Iranian revolution. WOW! This would make for a great movie! Very sad but never the less a great movie!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Skyrad 0 #5 December 21, 2011 There is no 'point' its a human interest story, the fact that you feel the need to have a 'all or nothing bucket' is typical of a limited ability to think in shades of grey.

True but I was not posting to the story was I I was replying to his all or nothing characterization YOURS was the all or nothing bucket So maybe I should have just posted a whoosh"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Coreece 190 #14 December 21, 2011 Quote There is no 'point' its a human interest story Fine, then why the need to involve religion? You don't like it when bad things are attributed to Islam. Does being Muslim really have that much significance to Sardari's actions. You're just trying to dramatize the headline similar to "Muslims attacked Christians" rather than "Terrorists attacked America." Maybe a better title would've been "Man saves fellow Iranians from the hands of the Christian Nazis."You know I love you skrad and I don't mean to get all PC...I'm just sayin'.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...
