That was my observation as well. She also hasn't said one word against islam or addressed in any fashion all the points about it's atrocities brought up by many board members. I wondered if that could possibly be because either 1, she's lying about being a fire worshiper and is a muslim, as muslims are permitted to lie, or 2, she may not be a muslim but whatever form of ISP she's using is monitored, and if she's caught saying anything against islam, she's in deep shit.

If Farah was Muslim....She would Practice Islam....
If Farah is Persian she like could practice Zoroastrianism ..
The Zoroastrian Faith came out of the Persian Empire around the 7th Century BCE
Not all Persians practice Islam.... Many still practice a faith that predates Islam by 1500 years...
Zoroastrianism is a Monotheistic Faith one of the oldest...
So you can't be Muslim and practice Zoroastrianism...
I would wager she is Persian if that is her faith, or her people came from there after the Revolution.
You know, the last time I was in Germany and saw a man standing above everybody else, we ended up disagreeing.

Interesting.
Nonetheless ... take some time out to check Farah's posting history. When directly challenged to deny she's Muslim ... all we had was evasion.
But I'm wondering: Farah did declare herself to be a 'fire worshipper'. She also found merit in the old Ottoman Empire.
Are these compatible with Zoroastrianism ?
See, for example:

Judging by this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persec...f_Zoroastrians
... Zoroastrians have no great reason to like Islam !! So, given that, why hasn't Farah taken opportunities to outright deny she's a Muslim ?
See:
http://www.debatepolicy.com/showthre...109#post924109
Farah has had ample opportunities given to her to distance herself from Islam. To deny any adherence to it. Direct questions are only met with evasion.
This is a Muslim who wouldn't even condemn - when asked to - the terrorism done in Islam's name !!!!

Whatever she is, other than an America hating little bitch, she has lost interest with the board.
Under AtaTurk .... Think what the Turks did to the Christian Ethnic Armenians....
They held little tolerance then for other religions.
Today while more secular most Islamic countries hold little love or acceptance for any religion but their own...
Here is another question....
Why do you continue to try and get her to admit anything at all??
General rule: DONT FEED THE TROLL AND IT LOOKS ELSEWHERE FOR FOOD...
Ignore her posts, Dont respond, put her on Ignore....
She will leave....
***ALSO... PLEASE NOTE *** There is no organized Zoroastrian community in Turkey...
most likely she is jerking your chains and trolling you with that...

Fair points.
Still, you can imagine what would happen if she'd simply been ignored, rather than tackled directly. Since she came on here to push her notion of 'the criminal West', ignoring her would've enabled her to claim that we 'dared not' face her accusations. She would've delighted in claiming proof of a 'moral high ground'.
I for one wasn't about to let that happen without meeting her propagandist challenge. Neither, judging by his own questioning, was Jim.
Besides, we're here for debate !! I'm a firm believer in testing beliefs and ideas through arguing their merits (or proving that none exist).
In Farah's case, she just evaded when comprehensively challenged. She had her chance. But, her inferior argumentation, its inherent weakness (to say nothing of pathetic source material, such as it 'was'), failed her. Which is .. fine.
Case closed, I think.

I don't know any other way to put this, as I feel like I'm talking to a wall at times. Some Turks may be Muslim. ALL Turks are Turks. They are Turks first. The only caveat to that being Erdogan's recent meddling in religion. That isn't going to change a mindset instilled from birth for centuries.
Turks and Persians are as ultra-nationalistic as Americans. They say the same crap, just use a different name. Talk a bunch of tough crap, don't talk about MY country, and basically "we're the best". Everyone else is a lesser being and should listen to them and do it their way. Get in their way and they start issuing threats. As a people, Turks respect only force. And it doesn't matter how much force you have if Turkey is willing to use its force and its opponent is not. In real, military time, it's just another Iraq.
People in general, especially arrogant Americans and Turks, don't bother to understand their enemies, they just want to kill them. Understanding them makes them a LOT easier to kill.
