Wow, great stuff. Thanks for posting these Arash! I copied the feed to our ME Faith website.

Can you tell us anything more about the exhibition?
Esra’a
Thanks.
Mellisa,
Only that it was opened for Jesus’ birthday and it exhibits posters. More news can be found here in Persian, and actually it does not tell anything except for “more news will be sent on Friday”.
Thank you
Wow, I didn’t expect the Mullahs were tolerant enough to allow a “Let’s all worship together” type display. That is really cool.
Yet another thing about the Iranian we will never hear from our major media outlets.
Yeah, those recent elections were rarely mentioned too, after all Iran is supposedly some kind of “Dictatorship/Theocracy”(people can’t decide which is worse, and whatever is worse must of course be accurate)
Didn’t the moderate make a huge gain in those elections. And I also heard that the so called council of experts who were also elected or something have more power than most politicians in Iran. Is that true, Arash?
Anyways, until the day we see CNN broadcast something positive about Iran, we in the West will grow to hate them like how we grew to hate the USSR without giving a second thought to the facts. Ohh well…
I’d heard that too, although the president is makes a better posterchild for extremism apparantly.
Now this is what I call an informative post. Thanks for sharing dude.
I’m surprized – looks very tolerant – the second picture (the blue one) looks like a good motive for a t-shirt – but I doubt that it’s possible to go roaming around the streets in all countries of the world while wearing that t-shirt without getting attacked or assasined..
True, Heimo, and that’s pretty sad. I bet even in the most tolerant countries you’d get some crap from wearing that, especially if their media shapes them to be hateful towards certain people or religions. You’ll find plenty of hateful Islamophobes in some of the most “tolerant” places.
Rancher,
You should know that there are different ideas within the IR, some of which are more moderate.
Jina,
Yeap!

Technically, yes, but, actually, they are very much like the Queen of England. None of them is really taking their job more than “praise the leader”. I don’t think that’s a surprise knowing that they all passed the explicit filter of the IR and also a written test.
Joel,
Please read my response to Jina.
Drima,
Chakerim.
Heimo,
You are right. The thing is, the poster implies that neither of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism is perfect and thus they need partners. I don’t think a cleric would like this idea. They keep calling Shia Islam the most perfect religion of all. Maybe they mean the most perfect religion still has flaws in it.
I think there is a major issue that someone else mentioned on Arash’s blog: does anyone think that the Bahais are included in the exhibition? Who decides what is a “Godly” religion? Are there “ungodly religions”? In my view this is a mockery of religious tolerance in an extremely religious intolerant country.
Arthemis,
I could not agree with you more.
Doesn’t the first picture have the Hindu symbol?
Joel,
It does, and I don’t know why. I suspect there are more Baha’is in Iran than there are Hindus. So, at least for the sake of respecting Iranians, Baha’ism sign should have been included in the poster.
