Why was my thread locked?

I was talking about the guys who run Iran. I am not talking about female head coverings because they force it on the women anyways.

They wear towels on their head (the men in charge of Iran).

1) It is not part of Islam
2) It is def. not part of Iranian culture

Go back to pre-1979 Iranian photos and show me where Iranian guys wear anything over their head. The only ones who did were Khomeini associates.

I can call it a towel because that is exactly what it is. It is not a symbol of religion or culture.

And Negro means black, so why can't I call black people negros?

That is an entirely different situation.

Who cares if I call a bunch of mullahs in Iran towel heads? They deserve to die.

Black people do not deserve to die.

I feel dumber just for having read that.
 
It was bad enough reading the thread, but now that I've read the explanation and subsequent posts by Aimster, I feel it necessary to go shower. Ick!
