Preventing intellectual property theft is a top priority of the FBI’s cyber program. We specifically focus on the theft of trade secrets and infringements on products that can impact consumers’ health and safety, such as counterfeit aircraft, car, and electronic parts. Key to our success is linking the considerable resources and efforts of the private sector with law enforcement partners on local, state, federal, and international levels.

If that's the case, don't expect to be profitable for that specific business model. They need to change their business to something that will make sense.

Guns are a just fantasy item, essentially pornographic. However unlike your daddy's porn, the money shot here is a bullet penetrating a warm wet live body. Anything less just ain't satisfaction. If you are not convinced go and browse some of the gun forums where the "stopping power" of hollow points vs jacketed rounds are lovingly debated. You can almost see their hard ons through the screen. I'm not chicken to admit I fear the people who get off on pumping off rounds instead of the big wet one.
JC : It is unbelievable propaganda to equate Iran to Nazi Germany.
and then
JC : I don't defend the position of moslems in their persecution of Baha'i - who they regard as a deviant sect. This is a poor perception.
It seems here that the propoganda is believable.
But you suggest that Israel should abandon itself to an Islamic majority which would involve the certain persecution and extinction of two minority religions in the middle east. It is unlikely to happen. My only point is really that I don't take too seriously anybody who takes a one sided view of the Middle east problems. All peoples there have legitimate grievances however most of the loud voices from both sides are complete hypocrites and it is easy to show that. Most people I have come across who stake an opinion in the Israeli / Arab conflict take up the cause as an image accessory, much like those who wear Che Guevera tee shirts without knowing the man. This goes for pro/anti Israelis Try and take a middle of the road approach and deal with the complexities of the history place and nobody is interested.
The Bahai religion is a relative newcomer on the world scene which originated in Iran / Persia within the last two hundred years. As religions go it is one of the most sensible around. They don't pick fights with others, they don't don't go around converting people, threatening them with fire and brimstone. They are are fairly ecumenical and respectful of other faiths and some of their core tenets favor reason over dogma. ( I am not Bahai but have had the pleasure of meeting some of them )
Anyway you would have to ask yourself why the world centre of Bahai is not in Iran with it's aforementioned 'Declaration of Human Rights' but in Israel. The Bahai's were in Israel/Palestine long before the founding of Israel. The founder was driven away there by the Sultan of Turkey in a bit of ethnic cleansing. A pure interpretation if Islam states that all forbearing religions are sacred. However that is not considered true about new ones which are considered heretical. This belief is not really unique to Islam but the Iranians pursue it with great zeal and so being in a Bahai in Iran is risky business.
Throughout the past century, the Bahá'ís of Iran have been persecuted. With the triumph of the Islamic revolution in 1979, this persecution has been systematized. More than 200 Bahá'ís have been executed or killed, hundreds more have been imprisoned, and tens of thousands have been deprived of jobs, pensions, businesses, and educational opportunities. All national Bahá'í administrative structures have been banned by the Government, and holy places, shrines and cemeteries have been confiscated, vandalized, or destroyed.
The 350,000-member Bahá'í community comprises the largest religious minority in that country, and Bahá'ís have been oppressed solely because of religious hatred. Islamic fundamentalists in Iran and elsewhere have long viewed the Bahá'í Faith as a threat to Islam and have branded the Bahá'ís as heretics. The progressive stands of the Faith on women's rights, independent investigation of truth, and education have particularly rankled Muslim clerics.
The Iranians don't really care about human rights and the misery of the Palestinians and they don't have any real moral position to argue against the behavior of the Israelis. Ahmadinajad cannot stand up and cry for the rights of Palestinians whilst Bahais in Iran exist much as Jews did in Germany before 1935. http://news.bahai.org/story/570. No jobs, No university education. Forced faith conversion. Risk of violence, imprisonment and death just for practicing their religion.
Also as an aside: from my speaking to Bahai's they do not seem to have reported any persecution in Israel at the Hands of the Jews. Just to check I tried Googling for this topic but didn't come up with anything. An interesting point for thought and contrast.

Why would you create an anonymous google account and then use your real name when complaining that it was deleted?
