Iran shuts down newspaper for article that undermined Islamic values It actually undermined Shiite values, but for the mullahs, thats the same thing. In any case, note here again the absolute intolerance of dissent, the inability to deal with opposing points of view in any way other than to silence them forcibly. That same authoritarian impulse is present in the Organization of Islamic Cooperations Islamophobia campaign, which seeks not to refute or debate the so-called Islamophobes, or to demonstrate that what they say is false in any way, but simply to shut them down. The campaign to smear them as hatemongers and bigots goes hand-in-hand with this -- it doesnt prove them wrong, it just makes timid and ignorant people think they better run the other way rather than listen to them.
