Austrian "Rabbi" says Iran offers best model for human rights for children

A Brooklyn born man, Moishe Arye Friedman of Austria, has said Iran is the best model for children's human rights for children.

Friedman goes by the title "Rabbi," but there is doubt among the Jewish community on whether Friedman has completed his rabbinical studies.

A member of Jews United Against Zionism, a group that says the the existence of Israel violates Jewish law, Friedman attended the Tehran Holocaust denial conference earlier this year, even though Friedman is not a holocaust-denier.

Viewed by almost all Jews as a total nut-case, Friedman's claim about children's human rights in the Islamic state is simply wrong. Prior to the 1979 Khomeini-led revolution that toppled the Shah, the minimum age for Iranian women to marry was seventeen. Khomeini lowered it to nine.
