Seriously. Are you being sarcastic? It’s hard to tell most of the time.

THIS STORY NOT TRUE!
Iran: Lawmakers Debate Women’s Clothing
Associated Press May 20, 2006

… Emad Afroogh, the legislator who sponsored the bill and is chairman of Parliament’s Cultural Committee, said that the Canadian report was untrue and that the measure sought only to make women dress more conservatively and avoid Western fashions. Another lawmaker, Morris Motamed, a Jew, also said the Canadian report was false.

ALSO NOT TRUE Holocaust “historian” Edwin Black claimed that Iran was responsible for the Holocaust. But see Iran, Jews and the Holocaust: An answer to Mr. Black by Dr Abbas Milani of Stanford University.

Well having the PM of Canada denounce it probably help it spread more than a little bit.

Iran Holocaust Style Badge Story Questionable

The truth behind this story Iran Eyes Badges for Jews has been called into question:

OTTAWA (CP) – Prime Minister Stephen Harper was quick to condemn Iran on Friday for an anti-Semitic law that appears not to exist.

I don’t see what the big problem is. The Muslims are just practicing their religion. Just like the killing of apostates or the stoning of an adulteress, it is all sanctioned by Islamic scripture and theology. I think all of you are just racist agianst Muslims.

The next question is: why did the National Post print this story?

Usually all it takes is a couple people to get this stuff published. If there’s enough momentum behind something, people’s judgement starts to get questionable.

I guess we’ll see if that’s the case.

Here’s the best debunking I’ve seen so far.

For once I’m glad that my “may be less than meets the eye” caution appears to be true.

The next question is: why did the National Post print this story?
