I will visit this place when the chances to be shot are low and one doesn't get arrested randomly

Also when women have equal rights

Firearms are heavily restricted, so why would you get shot? And why you, and not the other 5.3 million tourists that visit annually?

Is it bad that my first thought was "I hope these beautiful buildings aren't blown apart by a selfish asshole"? That's sad.

And many Americans would be content to just carpet bomb the shit out of this place. Sad.

I'm really sad it's so dangerous to see these beautiful things in person. Fuck off, terrorists.

It really isn't. Iran is fairly safe. There's been more killings in the past decade in the USA than Iran. And most are in Baluchistan.

(2) (That is to say that the majority of the killings in Iran are in the Baluchistan border area.)

What? It's not dangerous to visit Iran.

ISIS and creationist christians have something in common. Neither wants to admit there was something before their faith
