A Jewish man says the Islamic revolution is a good thing that happened to Iran as people living in a religious environment become more religious.
Despite Iran's presidents views of Israel and the Holocaust (which was opposed by many Iranian politicians), Iran has the largest Jewish community outside of Israel who live peacefully side by side with Muslims who are free to practise Judaism. Despite what most people in the west think in Iran there are verticially no cases of Anti-semitic violence cases like the kind that are heard about in some parts of Europe.
Iran has its own Jewish member of its parliament. Iran even has one of the worlds 4 Jewish charity hospitals where Jews and Muslims both work together, which even the government has donated towards!

Iranian Jews are not celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary. Why?...
because as a Iranian Jewish leader Morsadegh put it, it was in protest of Israel's responsibility for the "murder of totally innocent Palestinian civilians." and also said Israel's policies toward Palestinians, particularly Gazans, demonstrated "anti-human behavior ... they kill innocent people."
Iran has the largest Jewish community in the M.E. outside of Israel where relations between Muslims and Jews is generally peaceful despite what most in the West think and it even has a Jewish member in the Iranian parliament! Iran even has its own Jewish charity hospital where Muslims and Jews work together.
The Jewish leader then went on to say that Jews enjoy freedom of religion in Iran as demonstrated in Austraila's SBS current affairs show "Dateline" on 'The Jews of Iran'

Its a award winning Iranian film "The Messiah" showing Jesus's (pbuh) life but it differs with the traditional Christian view... because here Jesus (pbuh) wasnt crucified! Yup... you heard right, he wasnt crucified but saved -based on Qur'an, 4:157!
The film has two endings... one with the traditional Christian viewpoint and the other with a interpretion from a Muslim perspective (which all Muslims may not agree with) to generate interfaith dialogue! Jesus (pbuh) is loved in Islam as a Messenger of God, Prophet of God and as the Messiah (annoited one) sent by Allah (God) but he isnt the son of God. However both faiths do agree and believe that Jesus (pbuh) will return... hopefully very soon!

Making reference to Palestine/Israel hostilities, the body also pointed out that terrorism should be differentiated from 'legitimate resistance against foreign occupation'.
