Keep a watch on the Iran story. The source is generally reliable and has many contacts in Iran, but it has not been confirmed so everyone is waiting to see how it pans out.

If the news story turns out to be true, it is very scary indeed. Marking people for their faith like this can lead to no good.

Apparently, Canada jumped the gun on this story ...

So, I guess we should "Blame Canada"?
