    Who are the liars and who are those who don't tow the line?

    Some things you will have to discover on your own, but there are places on this planet where if you visit, you get a much better perspective on the issue. Not because what you are told there, but because what you had been told about the place in your country and what you get to observe on your own.

    I'm not sure where in this conversation the lack of meaningful religious freedom in Iran became about liars.

    Almost everything he says is a lie and my guess is that he is a politician you support.

    Were Sunni Kurds not executed?

    Not for being Sunni. For being part of terrorist groups involved in violent acts against the state. Some of them for being part of ISIS and grabbed after the attack against Iran's parliament by ISIS.

    In 2016, the same folks Pence is talking about were involved in carrying out terrorist attacks against Iran, either as part of their US funded campaign to stir Kurdish separatism regularly attacking Iranian border guards and troops or as part of ISIS. None were arrested because of their Sunni faith much less executed. Iran has millions of Sunnis, many in parliament, and the whole story being presented is ridiculous.

    What is being described below didn't start again on its own.

    Constitutional provisions relate to governmental action although the issue isn't all that developed as the whole issue of discrimination based on race isn't a real issue in Iran.

    Nice try at diverting the issue. Typical tactic of religious cultic behavior.

    Pot/kettle!
    I have had several pages of conversation and explained what I can regarding the rights and limitations on religious freedom in Iran. I have not argued nor pretended that on this issue the contours are the same as those in the US, which has a different background on the issue. But that doesn't mean that people can take and use anyone who has committed a crime, who happens to be a religious minority, and pretend they were being executed or imprisoned for their religious beliefs!

    p.s.
    You are on record here advocating Iran be nuked. So please keep out of any discussion that pretends to care for the human rights of anyone in Iran of any gender, religious, ethnic, or other denomination.

    No, I did not advocate the nuking of the Iranian people and you know it. What did I actually post?

    If you say so, but somehow people who cavalierly advocate using nukes against Iran stick to my mind!

    The world would be a better place if these religious gangsters that run Iran were obliterated. Their brand of Islam is a scourge on the planet.

    Here are some other examples of Iran killing "sunnis" for their "religious beliefs" (sarcasm), not in Iran, but outside of Iran.

    The first story I post is from someone whose father was killed in one such attack, carrying out against a group which the US has been supporting and sponsoring.

    https://besacenter.org/perspectives-papers/iran-missile-strike-kurdistan/
    The Messages Behind the Iranian Missile Strike in Iraqi Kurdistan

    Following that strike, a few months ago, Iran launched another attack on "Sunnis" for their religious beliefs! (sarcasm)

    You think I am going to pay close attention to any of these kind of nonsensical statements! I follow Iranian news closely, including perforce by those who are trying to falsify the truth constantly, and the only things that remotely relate to whatever he could be saying relates to Iran's fight with Kurdish separatists and ISIS.

    Which has nothing to do with the fact Iran is abusing women and punishing them in the name of religion.

    It has everything to do with issue of Iran executing anyone for supposedly being a Sunni

    This report from a Sunni Arab from Egypt chronicles his travel to Iran to discover how Iran treats its Sunni minority.

    Not surprised. You're a propaganda parrot for Islam.
