The Iron Sheik, charismatic former pro wrestling villain and Twitter personality, dies at 81
The Iron Sheik, real name Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri, “departed this world peacefully," the WWE said in a statement on Wednesday.www.nbcnewyork.com
There’s always been a significant faction of the US that wants a theocracy, to include religious taxation (taxes collected from everyone directed to religious organizations/churches…forced tithing), from the US’s creation.Excerpts from a dated New York times article: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/12/27/us/the-record-of-pat-robertson-on-religion-and-government.html
"Pat Robertson, the Republican Presidential candidate who resigned his ministry to allay concern that he would impose religion on government if elected, said emphatically when he was a minister that he believed only devout Christians and Jews were qualified to govern.
A review of his writings and commentary on the religious television program he headed for two decades, ''The 700 Club,'' also shows that Mr. Robertson maintained that government is subservient to the will of God and that democracy is ''next best'' to ''government controlled by God.''
''I think anybody whose mind and heart is not controlled by God Almighty is not qualified in the ultimate sense to be the judge of someone else. . . . No one is fit to govern other people unless first of all something governs him. And there is only one governor I know of that is suitable to be judge of all the universe, that's God Almighty. Yes, I did say that. You can quote me. I believe it.''
So I can safely assume he thinks the USA should be a theocratic form if gov't, if not a very heavily influenced one with everyone else subservient to the tenets of their faith and beliefs then?
Ha, fuck that shit. He'd have to (metaphorically) burn Our Constitution down into ashes and make a statue of Jesus out of it first, of which I believe he would've had no problem with.
Freedom of religion must be of equal prominence with the fact that we should also be free from it.
