It will be interesting to see how this one pans out. I just saw that the Montreal Post has a story refuting the National Post story.

>A few days ago, I read a disturbing short story by Dan Simmons, a SF/horror writer with several books to his credit.
>
>Then, today, this from Canada's National Post:
>
>Human rights groups are raising alarms over a new law passed by the Iranian parliament that would require the country's Jews and Christians to wear coloured badges to identify them and other religious minorities as non-Muslims.
>
>With any luck we will be spared the fate outlined in Simmon's tale, but I fear the Islamists want exactly what he depicts.
