24-Year-Old Jew Murdered in Iran- 24-year-old Daniel Magrufta, who was dating the daughter

A 24-year-old Iranian Jew, a member of one the most well-known and wealthiest families in Iran, was murdered last week, Channel 2 News reported on Wednesday.

According to the report the man, who was identified as Daniel Magrufta, was dating the daughter of a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.

The report added that it was at first believed that Magrufta was murdered during a robbery at his home, but no evidence indicating that his home had been broken into was found.

The woman whom Magrufta was dating was reportedly arrested on suspicion of being responsible for the murder but was released without being indicted. Members of the Jewish community in Iran told Channel 2 News that the investigators reportedly told the woman that “if you were involved in killing a Jew, you did a good deed.”

The incident comes just over one month after a Jewish woman was murdered by Muslim extremists intent on taking away her home. The brutal killing took place in the city of Isfahan, today home to fewer than 100 Jewish families.

Any Jews still living in Muslim countries are forgetting their history. Christians in those countries are also to be worried.

Yea ... I was going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he must have had carbon steel balls forged in hell but dating the daughter of a revolutionary guard member might fall into Darwin Award territory.

Still though, forgive me here ladies, I hope he made her Dad VERY angry . . . if you catch my drift.

Beyond my comprehension to reason why a wealthy Jewish family elects to remain in Iran.

Every Jew in Iran should’ve been evacuated in 1979. RIP.

It is hard to leave the life one knows. Especially if the family has resources.

There have been cases where the victim has been lured into thinking the Muslim finds him/her interesting or attractive and sets up a date/dates. Given the environment in which this took place, it would seem not at all unlikely that she might have had something to do with his murder.

I believe I know whence you come with your comment, but you are aware that the history of the Jews in Iran goes back some 2700 years, are you not?

There were Jews in Iran before Iran went Muslim, and I suspect there will be Jews in Iran when Iran ditches Islam the same way it ditched Zoroastrianism.

That said, I agree with you on this point: If I am a wealthy Jew living in Iran, I head for Canada, the US, Australia, Brazil, et al, ASAP.

Statistics say that a romantic partner is quite likely to also be a murder suspect. But looking at this case overall, I suspect her family.

they didn’t ditch Zoroastrianism. Over 1400 years, they were slowly converted — much of the time by force, other times by coercion or by avarice. the same happened in Christian Egypt and Syria and Turkey and in Hindu Sindh and Punjab and in Buddhist Afghanistan etc.

Because they don't want to give everything they own and have worked to build for generations to those savages. Same thing happened in Germany. I've known quite a few Iranians, most of them were perfectly decent people. Their country is in the hands of the worst and most viscous fanatics. Iran doesn't have medieval cathedrals decorated with Judensau. I suspect that the average Iranian is far less antisemitic than the average German or the average Arab. I spent 16 months in Shermany, and it was not at all unusual for people one meets on the train or in passing to go wander off into antisemitic babble. You barely need to scratch an Arab to be scalded by steaming antisemitism. I never got that from any Iranian I have known.

Thanks Nachum.
The incident comes just over one month after a Jewish woman was murdered by Muslim extremists intent on taking away her home.
"Extremists" my ass -- they're merely defending themselves against an unarmed woman who would still be alive if Israel didn't have a nuclear weapons monopoly in the Middle East and occupy Palestine. /s

Cronos: thanks for the ping.

Firstly, let me say that I know for a fact, that after the 1979 “Islamic Revolution” in Iran (aka Khomeinist Revolution), the so-called “religious minorities” in Iran were, continuously, attacked in all sorts of ways. Whilst the attacks have become “less obvious”, they continue to date.

The above mentioned treatment included the Christians (of all denominations), the Bahais, the Jews and those of practicing, officially known to belong to the Zoroastrian faith. The last 3 mentioned religious groups in particular, and they all, by nationality, are & have been Iranians. I should mention similar treatment has applied, very often, to Sunni and also non 12er Shia sect Iranian muslims, namely, Sufi Muslims in Iran.

The mentioned attacks (often officially sanctioned), nowadays, mostly & mainly, are carried out in the form of discrimination. Murder, however, still takes place, either directly and/or through coercion.

The Bahais, Jews and Zoroastrians are particularly discriminated against, to date, for housing, employment and education opportunities, as only few examples.

Blackveil: I am unsure of your Iranian connection. But I’ve noted for past 2 years at least on FR, that you seem to, directly or indirectly, support various actions of the Islamic government & their sympathizers in Iran, in your related comments on FR.

Whether the particular person mentioned in the article was murdered by his family is uncertain, in my opinion. However, I do know for certain that since 1979, more than a few Jews, Zoroastrians and Bahais have been publicly humiliated, murdered, and/or physically threatened & harmed, by the unofficial and/or official Islamic Republic government lackeys, representatives and sympathizers in Iran. And, I am speaking of those BORN into the mentioned faiths, not conversions.

Yazd and Kerman provinces in Iran (where many Zoroastrians have lived since the Islamic invasion of Iran centuries ago) were a handful of first places the so-called “Islamic/Khomeinist revolutionaries) attacked, arresting, beating, intimidating and murdering even & especially children of Iranian-Zoroastrians. I know of actual cases.
