Freedom of Religion in Switzerland

Freedom of religion is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion. This is article 18 of the Universal Deceleration of Human Rights. Now if the country in question was Iran where Bahai's as a religious minority experience constant and continues attack it wouldn't be a surprise. After all the Iranian regime is known for its lack of freedom and crimes against humanity but Switzerland is a democracy. The rights of minorities should be recognized and respected.

NIAC charlatanism is not about things that I disagree with. Rather it is about this organization's attempt to hide behind causes such as human rights to promote specific lobbyist agendas. For example everyone knows who Reza Pahlavi is. I have no problem if Trita Parsi tells everyone what he really is, i.e. a lobbyist. Charlatanism begins when lobbyists start calling themselves "human rights activists" (as Parsi does) and others who disagree with them warmongers. Why in the interest of free dissemination of information doesn't Parsi attend a debate with Hassan Dai but instead decides to act like a coward and silence his voice by hauling him to the court? Dai's position is that NIAC is a lobbyist group. We all know that lobbyists cannot and do not operate in vacuum but are tied to governments. So what is all this suing fuss about? In comparison, regardless of whatever I think of someone like Hooshang Amirahmadi, I command him for being more transparent and deciding to debate Dai on VOA.

Do Trita Parsi and NIAC use porn as a way to force-feed their pro IRI policy and is NIAC a murky organization?

(This posting is not about the implants of Amina Parsi (The wife of Niac's president) shown off on public Facebook pages in a bikini but rather to know why NIAC is pushing for a talk with the IRI that suffocates Iranian women who may just want to have the same freedom of choice in clothing.) These are good questions but what I like to know is why NIAC would want to stop everyone from expressing their views! Recently an Iranian.com contributor indicated that I am upset because NIAC supporters have expressed their outrage about my poetry. I don’t know where in my response this conclusion could be reached. What I know for a fact is that last week I wrote back to the person who writes under the assumed name of Qumars Bolourchian, a full time representative of NIAC on the Iranian.com, and asked that person to stop sending me porn. The only conclusion for me at this time is that NIAC and several of its members call those who don't share their views, Neocons, MEK supporters, Monarchists, Pro-war, Communists, and more. In my opinion NIAC's Trita Parsi not only sues any person who as much as questions NIAC's pro IRI policy but seem to seek every opportunity to cash on Iranian people’s misery!
