50 Curiosity-Inducing Historical Photographs (Best Of All Time)

I wonder what you mean by this? Are you saying this because the British enlisted the CIA to help them overthrow the democratically elected government in 1952, and installing the Shah as the supreme authority? A regime that became so brutal that the people of Iran were willing to support the Islamic Revolution of 1979? While I think the CIA and MI-6 have a lot to answer for, I don't see a direct connection between their activities and the Hijab law. The connection is certainly there, but nobody at the CIA in 1952 was like "mwah ha ha, if we do this we will have hijab laws within 30 years". It's more like "if we do this we will have supreme control over a puppet state, who cares how many people are killed"

BeeEeksAndPups. Yes, that's exaclty what they did. This was the Cold War. The CIA not only orchestrated the removal of democratically elected Mohammad Mosaddeq after he nationalized oil industry and put Shah Reza Pahlevi in his place, but also sold weapons to Islamic Revoutionaries in the Iran-Contra Scandal in order to secure funds for the Contrarevolutionaries in Nicaragua. The CIA also collaborated with the Council for the Islamic Revolution as they funded groups working against the Soviets. They knew perfectly well what the Islamic Revolution was up to. The CIA also put the Taliban in place in Afghanistan in the 1980's and trained Osama Bin Laden to fight the Soviets. It was more "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" situation. And when the Cold War ended, they stopped caring.

Oh, I know this history quite well. It was also the CIA that introduced most of Latin America, including my country, to their far-right fascist dictators as well. The motivations were different, of course. In our case American business interests were worried about a growing middle-class in Latin America, and they wanted a series of brutal regimes to squash the growing power of labor movements, allowing American companies access to cheap outsourced labor. And with a name like "Luis Hernandez" I'd be willing to bet you're also familiar with this history. I have no love for the CIA. I just don't think they were interested in creating Hijab laws, just a vassal state. And yes I know about their interests with the Taliban, Saddam Hussein, the Mujaheddin, and all their nasty little enterprises during the cold war. Despotism in the name of democracy, lol.

Hmm watch game of thrones. You will see exactly what i mean by that. How did that religious guy get to power.... Nobody expected it at first. He and his cult were a tool used for politics. A monster they fed and grew not realizing that once it gets big enough It can no longer be controlled and would ruin countless generations. 220px-Jona...d2ab36.png

British Petroleum. Not the British. To steal their oil & profits nationalized by Mossedegh.

Also, every other post has a positive memory. I don't see how this is curiosity inducing in any way.

In my country the leftists are in favor of open frontiers for muslims. They promise citizenship to them so to gain their vote. They'll put the head of the country on the block of the executioner.

considering the Pogroms of Poland in 1920/21? the Riots against Jews in Algeria in the 20s, the 1929-31 massacres of 11 different Jewish communities in the Holy Land (aside from the 1920 pogroms there), the riots against Jews in Ukraine in the 1920's, etc, etc. I think he was thinking of more than the Nazis, especially since that quote I gave was said in 1931, before the Nazis took charge

The danger the Nazis presented to Jews and others was quite clear in 1931 and had been for a while, certainly to someone as perceptive as Einstein. But I cannot offer myself as someone who can speak authoritatively about exactly what was in Albert Einstein's mind. No one can, of course.

in 1931 no one thought they would get into power

No one? So not only do you know what Einstein was thinking, you have complete knowledge of what absolutely everyone in 1931 was thinking.
