Also, on the topic of Sam Harris, if you haven't seen this interview yet you're in for a treat.

This whole thing came as quite a surprise to me after watching Argo, which I actually thought was a great film and a very accurate depiction of a late 1970s theocratic Iran. Needless to say, I think much less of Ben Affleck after seeing this.

You mean you weren't thinking less of him when he made "Gigli"?

It's wrong of me but I was secretly hoping Ben's head would explode. Goddamn, talk about mad. Lol

My favorite place in Iran (that I visited). I don't know why Affleck is so offended, but I can't stand how Maher thinks everyone in the Middle East is garbage. Like we're all misogynists and homophobes who take nothing from life but what we're told by our Imam or sheik.

Argo is as accurate a depiction of Iran as the Lion King is of how a pride of lions operates.

I hate to defend it because it's a shit hole, but I ever meet the makers of that movie or the last season of Homeland, I will kick them in the Nuts for their blatant propaganda.

Persians have never been, and will never be, stupid. We have many shortcomings, like how I had a full beard at age 11 and the white kids called me Moses, but we aren't caricature-like Arabs who scream Allahu Akbar and then set off a C4 vest. Islam is a very small aspect of the culture... Unfortunately the government uses Jizzlam as a CYA tactic to hide the fact that the IRGC is nothing more than a military dictatorship.

Let my people go

Do you scrutinize every tv/movie character you see to make sure that it is a vanilla blend of only the best things about a nationality/race/ethnicity?

watch last season of Homeland. It isn't about "vanilla," it's blatant anti-iranian propaganda.

And no, I dont, but when Israelis make a show to make my race look like savages, expect scrutiny.

Do you troll every post that has nothing to do with you? Thank you, come again

So the answer is yes. Everything in tv/film is fair game unless it hits too close to home or you, then it becomes propaganda. Got it.

I'm not a fan of Israel, but that doesn't change the fact that your race is the very group that makes them look like savages. The sooner you realize that, the sooner something might be done to change it before the rest of the first world gets sick enough of your bullshit and simply annihilates every last one of you.
