"Iran eyes badges for Jews
Law would require non-Muslim insignia"

I wasn't sure if this should go in current events of war on terrorism, but considering how much Iran tries to incite hatred and violence I suppose this is the right place...

The link is dead.

I suppose it could go in either section, but anyway. What are they saying?? That Jews need a non-muslim insignia, to distinguish them from the rest of isreal??

Thats wrong....really wrong.

Nitrus, it was bs. It never happened:

Canada's ambassador to Iran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in apparent diplomatic fallout from remarks by Prime Minister Stephen Harper after a Canadian newspaper report suggested religious minorities in Iran would be forced to wear badges.

A Foreign Affairs Department spokesman confirmed an Iranian television report that Ambassador Gordon Venner was summoned on Wednesday.

The spokesman refused to say what was discussed at the meeting. However, it came days after Harper criticized Iran over a National Post report that quoted Iranian exiles as saying Iran's conservative parliament was debating a draft law that would force Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims in the country to wear special patches of coloured cloth to distinguish them from Muslims.

Iranian officials have denied that any such provision existed.

The Post said Wednesday it is now clear that last week's story was not true and apologized for the report, saying the newspaper should run more checks before publishing the article.

Harper said Friday, the day the story was published, that such a dress code could "remind people of Nazi Germany."

But the prime minister stepped back from that comment following a speech in London, Ont., on Wednesday, stressing that before he made those comments last week he cautioned that the facts of the story had yet to be verified.

"I'm glad to hear that the government of Iran is not considering this," he said.

Thats what you guys get for taking news from less credible sites like canada.com.

The article was from a major canadian newspaper, with a strong conservative slant. It is a mainstream paper though, it doesn't cater exclusively to one side like newsmax does (well, if it were a paper).Â*Â*
