A new law reportedly passed by the Iranian Parliament is drawing comparisons to the Holocaust because it requires Jews, Christians and other religious minorities to wear colored badges to identify them as non-Muslim.Iran's "only Jewish Member of Parliament" is Maurice Motammed.
But Iran's only Jewish Member of Parliament said the report is "a lie."

The google hits for Iranian Badge are somewhat more extensive.
Motamed at Wikipedia.
A new law that may or may not exist is talked about as though it does.
Probably at least two or three other readers were startled to realize that there is a Jew in the Iranian Parliament. Elected and everything. That there has been a Jew in the Iranian Parliament, representing the needs and interests of the Iranian Jewish community, for some time - since 1906, to be exact.
Then googling, as one does, to see if there are commensurate representatives in the US...
