They Hanged Her for Teaching Love
She is called the Angel of Iran because she lived her short life angelically. True to their nature, the demonic Islamist Mullahs couldn’t bear an angel in their midst.

Good Hate, Bad Love
“Love” is thought of as a virtue, while “hate” is considered a vice. But not all forms of love are good and not all hates are bad. If you love to set buildings on fire, molest children, or steal, these are obviously bad loves. If you hate racism, sexism, or injustices of all sorts, then […]
Why Islamists Persecute the Baha’is
