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.

Hi Odds.

Learn to read. I wrote:

But looking at this case overall, I suspect her family.

You wrote:

Whether the particular person mentioned in the article was murdered by his family is uncertain, in my opinion ...

That is not a well informed opinion. If there were any grounds at all for suspecting his family, the Iranian police would have them under arrest. Instead, they questioned and then released the girlfriend.

Here’s a dumb question but why are Arabs so anti Semitic? Especially Arabs who aren’t even close to Israel/Palenstine?

Thank you for pointing out a typo “his family” as opposed to “her family”.

As I said in #20 in this thread: “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.”

Learn to not divert attention from the main issue.

But I do not see how my post was supporting the Iranian govt or their sympathisers in Iran. We are told in the article, that Daniel Magrufta, was dating the daughter of a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. I commented that I think her family are suspects in his murder. It seems obvious to me that they have a motive. I am not saying I am certain of their guilt.

You seem to have misread my post, and assumed I was accussing the Magrufta family themselves of being behind his murder.

As for Iran, I try to be well informed, and to cut through the propaganda. I have discerned several false stories and expressed skepticism. Things like reports that Pastor Nadarkhani had been executed - I suggested one wait on official confirmation for that.

If you were to ask me what is the greatest font of evil in the Middle East I would say Saudi Arabia, and also their nuclear armed ally Pakistan. That is my view, and I am happy to debate it, but not on this thread.

No, I didn’t misread your post #13 in this thread.

As I previously highlighted (twice), in a separate paragraph addressed specifically to you, my statement in post #20 was regarding your comments over the past 2 yrs at least on FR regarding Iran. — Examples include: your post(s) about Sangsar (stoning to death), Cyrus’ Cylinder being returned to Iran based on demands from the Islamic Republic regime, which doesn’t and has given a damn about pre-Islamic history of Iran (unless it somehow benefits them), to Christmas decorations in Mash’d, which can only imply how tolerant the Islamic Republic is of other religions & religious minorities in Iran.

As for you thinking “the greatest front of evil in the Middle East are KSA & a nuclear armed Pakistan”, personally I wouldn’t dispute. However, the Islamic Republic in Iran, their minions and sympathizers, are in no way, less evil than the mentioned - chips off the same old block.

And, for anyone trying to point out the Shia and Sunni conflict (outside Iran), I’d suggest they read up on the Palestinians, and why the Islamic Republic continues to support them when Palestinians, as a rule, are predominantly Sunnis, but they are (not all of course) partners in crime with the Islamic Republic regime in Iran & have been since 1979.

Cronos: I’m pinging you for information.

well, the right term would be anti-Jewish as Arabs are Semites

The reason is that any land which has been conquered by Islam cannot be released back -- it is "haram", evil. Which is why Islam covets Al-Andalus (Spain) and India and Israel

I cannot understand any reason why my comment that the family of the young lady, in this case, must be suspects in the murder, would be controversial. They have a motive which hits one in the eye. I said suspects, no more than that. Nothing is proven.

But you also object to Cyrus’ Cylinder being returned to Iran based on demands from the Islamic Republic regime, The return of such a significant antique is vastly popular with Iranian people in general. The British should not be allowed to take things. Ask any Greek person about the Elgin Marbles ... to Christmas decorations in Mash’d, which can only imply how tolerant the Islamic Republic is of other religions ... It could imply lots of things, including, simply that this is a spectacle, from the city of Meshed, very significant in Persian heritage. Many people like those pictures. Also, many people have the impression that Christmas decorations are banned in Iran, as they are in some other countries and cities of the Middle East. So the pics are informative. I don't know what thread you mean about stoning, but I did express skepticism about the case being publicised by the media - of a women sentenced to death - I suggested that I did not think she would be executed. And in fact she has not been.
