Iran: Nation of Bloggers


IRAN: A Nation Of Bloggers from ayrakus on Vimeo.

Beliefnet: Hamid Tehrani at Global Voices Online brings the tragic news that a jailed Iranian blogger, Omid Reza Misayafi, has died. It seems that he may have committed suicide. Apart from the personal tragedy his family must now grapple with, his death is another step backwards for the universal right of free speech. Misayafi's death will have a chilling effect on Iranian voices online, who provide an essential outlet for the cause of reform and moderation.

Eileen,

Do you refer to the Christian God that condemns all believers of other faiths to eternal damnation. How about we just stick with “God”? The qualifier is unnecessary and causes consternation.

Dear LedZep…thank you for the comment.

My intent was to differentiate from a Muslim or Islamic or other God…denoting Christian was what I meant…the Judeo-Christian God of our founding fathers…the God of Abraham…Isacc and Jacob.

I make no apologies for Him and for us as a “Christian” nation as opposed to an Islamic nation, etc.
