Iran confiscates Buddha statues from shops
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Buddha statues have joined Barbie dolls and characters from "The Simpsons" TV cartoon as banned items in the conservative Muslim nation.
Authorities are confiscating Buddha statues from shops in the Iranian capital, Tehran, to stop the promotion of Buddhism in the country, according to a report Sunday in the independent Arman daily.
Iran has long fought against items, such as Barbie toys, to defuse Western influence, but this appears to be the first time that Iranian authorities are showing an opposition to symbols from the East.
The newspaper quoted Saeed Jaberi Ansari, an official for the protection of Iran's cultural heritage, as calling the Buddha statues symbols of "cultural invasion." He said authorities will not permit a specific belief to be promoted through such items. Ansari did not say how many Buddhas had been seized, but that the "cleansing" would continue.
Some Iranians buy Buddha's statues to decorate their homes and cars. Most are made in China and come from Iranian free-trade zones in the Persian Gulf.
"As I understand, none of customers cared about Buddhism, they only bought it for decoration," said Reza Sanaei, a shopkeeper who sells the statues.
A customer, Marjan Arbabi, said she personally did not like the statues. "But my parents have set of five Buddah's statues at their home simply because they think the statues are beautiful," she said.
Under the constitution, Christian and Jewish beliefs as well as Zoroastrianism are recognized beside Islam, the official religion of the country. The law, however, says that, in general, the rights of all non-Muslims should be observed.
Some Islamists do not support production of any statue, since they view it as a way to promote idols.
In 2010, several statues depicted prominent Iranians, disappeared from Tehran city's streets and squares. Their disappearance was blamed on an unnamed group with a strict interpretation of Islam that bans the depiction of the human form in art.
Buddha? Well, we certainly can't have any symbols of peace, tranquility and higher awareness. That would destroy us all.
佛？嗯，我们当然不能有任何象征和平，宁静和更高的认识。这会破坏我们的信仰。
You know you are a pretty insecure government when you are afraid of Bart and Homer Simpson.
你知道当你害怕巴特和荷马辛普森时，你就是一个非常不安的政府。 注：辛普森家族动画片中的人物
If your Barbie doll wears burka is that ok? Or you maybe you could get the Barbie and Ken set. Of course you'd have to get multiple Barbies for one Ken, and Ken would have to have a spring in his arm so he could stone Barbie if she becomes insolent. Maybe I'm over thinking this, disregard.
如果你的芭比娃娃穿布尔卡这样就行了吧？或者你也许你能得到的芭比娃娃和肯基。当然如果你有一个肯，就必须买七十二个芭比娃娃来配他。而肯将不得不在他的手臂上装上一个弹簧，以便如果她变得无礼时，他能随时教训芭比娃娃。嗯，也许我考虑会买她？
Just one more example of hypocritical Muslims showing their intolerance for other cultures and beliefs, all the while they expect the rest of the world to accommodate them.
多好的一个例子证明了虚伪的穆斯林不容忍其他人的文化和信仰，然而同时，他们希望世界其他地区的人必须适应他们的风俗。
Isn't it a shame that Islam is such a fragile religion that the mere sight of Buddhist statues, Bibles or Barbie Dolls serve to threaten it's very existence? ^_~
这难道不是一种耻辱吗？伊斯兰教是一种脆弱的宗教，人们只要一看到佛像，“圣经”或芭比娃娃就能够威胁它的生存吗？ ^ _〜
A positive sign the regime is crumbling. Maybe the next revolution will finally bring freedom to the people.
一个积极的迹象，表示这是个摇摇欲坠的政权。也许下一次革命将最终实现人的自由。

ahhh the religion of peace....one piece over there....another piece over there....
AHHH和平的宗教。......那边那边......有炸成一块一块的.... -- 大概是吐槽自杀式袭击？
Oh yes, Islam is just so "tolerant" of other religions and people. So much so, that they go out of their way to censor, vilify, and condemn other religions. That is, when they are not busy bombing those people while screaming "Allah Snackbar"
哦，是的，伊斯兰教是“宽容”其他宗教的人。所以，他们以他们的方式去审查，丑化其他宗教，并谴责其他宗教。也就是说，当他们不是忙于轰炸那些在尖叫着“真主伟大”的人的时候。
