Back to Persepolis
 
----------------------------
 
For reference to earlier posting " Commentary Magazine [Re. Fitna and Persepolis]"
 
 
 
<<.. Ever since Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini condemned Salman Rushdie to death....radical Islamists have seen it as their right and duty to enforce their own unilateral anti-blasphemy laws on the human race...
 
....Fitna isn't the only recent movie hard-line Islamists hope to squelch beyond their own borders. The other is Persepolis, an animated film based on Iranian author Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel of the same name about repression under both the Shah Reza Pahlavi and the Ayatollah Khomeini....Lebanon's Ministry of the Interior banned it because... Shia officials...said it was offensive to Islam ...>>
