Tarpon6: There are no democratic Islamic countries, not even the most "moderate" islamic nation.

Iran was once a pillar of democracy. In 1953, though, we decided that since their parliament wanted to develop an oil industry for the country, refusing to continue to give it to us for free, and also because they retained freedom of speech and political party (much to the displeasure of some other "democratic" nations), that we would use certain agencies to stage a coup, inserting the ruler that we thought would work best for us. He did, too.

Under the Shah, Iran had the "highest rate of death penalties in the world, no valid system of civilian courts and a history of torture" which was "beyond belief", in a system in which "the entire population was subjected to a constant, all-pervasive terror", according to Amnesty International. (Martin Ennals, Secretary General of Amnesty International, cited in an Amnesty Publication, Matchbox, Autumn 1976)

After the CIA's coup in Iran, total US and multinational aid and credits to the Iranian monster it had created increased nine-fold: "The more dictatorial his regime became," US Iran specialist Eric Hoogland comments, "the closer the US-Iran relationship became." (Quoted, Curtis, op.,cit, p.95)

Posting a free pin is in fact the point of the hot deals forum. Where this thread has trouble is the people who make the free item a matter of politics.

We are not here to debate politics or judge those whom support or don't support a political ideal. This forum is for HOT DEALS

So, how hot is this deal? What would such a pin usually go for? $1.50? $2.00? If I see a hard drive that is usually $100 listed for $98, should I post it? Where's the tech angle in this deal? If you think the "heat" of this deal is not purely political, you're kidding yourself.

I don't know about all the rhetoric in this thread but here is what I know. Israel is a democratic country. There are no democratic Islamic countries, not even the most "moderate" islamic nation. None of them offer freedom. None of them allow women to have anything near equality. I would say they are completely depressed. The people are mostly very poor, except a very few members of the ruling class. The ruling class controls their people with strict rules and swift punishment. This includes the palenstinian authority. The leaders care nothing about their people, only preserving their status quo. I feel bad for the average middle-eastern person, but I can not support their nations or their leaders. They promote fear, hate, and violence.

You wrote: There are no democratic Islamic countries, not even the most "moderate" islamic nation. Wrong. Indonesia is the world's biggest Islamic country and guess what? Indonesia is a democracy.

(One should research facts before one tries to sound like an authority.)
