Reuters: Hardliners accused Iran's reformist opposition on Saturday of seeking the removal of key pillars of the Islamic Republic, including the office of the supreme leader, and of insulting the memory of its late founder. Conservative clerics spoke out against the opposition a few days after pro-reform students, seeking to renew their challenge to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad six months after his disputed re-election, clashed with police in Tehran. "What they are after is to have a thin layer remaining of the Islamic Republic," Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami said in a speech in the holy Shi'ite city of Qom, IRNA news agency reported. Theological students staged rallies in Qom, Tehran and elsewhere to protest against an "insult" to late revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, official media said >>>

Soon,"...the reins of power fall into the hands of the people."
by faryarm on Thu Dec 17, 2009 05:38 PM PSTO concourse of Muslim divines! By
your deeds the exalted station of the people hath been abased, the
standard of Islam hath been reversed, and mighty throne hath fallen."
"O people of the Koran,"
Bahá'u'lláh, addressing the
combined forces of Sunni and Shi'ih Islám, significantly affirms,
"Verily the Prophet Of God, Muhammad, sheddeth tears at the sight of
your cruelty.
Ye have assuredly followed your evil and corrupt desires,
and turned away your face from the light of guidance.
Erelong will ye
witness the result of your deeds: for the Lord. My God, lieth in wait
and is watchful of your behaviour ...
Baha'u'llah
Ere long
will the state of affairs within thee be changed, and the reins of
power fall into the hands of the people.
Verily, thy Lord is the
All-Knowing. His authority embraceth all things. Rest thou assured in
the gracious favor of thy Lord. The eye of His loving-kindness shall
everlastingly be directed towards thee. The day is approaching when thy
agitation will have been transmuted into peace and quiet calm. Thus
hath it been decreed in the wondrous Book.
-- Gleanings from the
Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, pp. 110-111.

Some Facts
by Ali9 Akbar on Mon Dec 14, 2009 07:26 AM PSTBuddha and Krishna appeared in India.... Do these Mullahs believe that Buddhism and Hinduism WESTERN Concepts???
In the Quran Mohammed Praised Jesus and Mary and Joseph in 3 separate Chapters... And I wonder why they have a negative concept of Christianity???? I guess it is because the popes who pretended to be Jesus' vicars [in Islamic terms a Vicar is another term for Mullah...] Strange very strange indeed .... and now 900+ years after the crusades these Mullahs are doing to Iran and Islam THE SAME THING the Catholic Church did to Europe in the 13th Century
[that would be 720AH in Islam and 699 Persian]....
And all religious minorities[non-Muslims] are hapless victims in the crossfire between the Mullahs and "the West".....

No one would like to
by Ahmed from Bahrain on Sun Dec 13, 2009 10:51 PM PSTgive up their cushy little positions while they bleed the nation from its wealth and power. These measly mullahs are no different. Fear rules them all and wherever there is fear, there is rot and this rot will eventually bring the house down.

How Ironic that he is also named "Khatami" except ...
by Darius Kadivar on Sun Dec 13, 2009 02:36 AM PSTThat the original Khatami clearly and unambiguously has always said that the reformists do not want a non religious democracy ...
Mohamed Khatami on Islamic Democracy:

So all these accusations are clearly a pretext to choke the Green Movement.
we need to be careful
by zebel20 on Sun Dec 13, 2009 02:23 AM PSTi just want every iranians to know that our country's foreign policies are very strong and our scientists very smart and they are making us iranians very proud to be an iranian.
so we need to be careful, no western country cares about us, they want to see every other nation on their knees dependent and looking up to them.
i do agree

-it's all about power
by gitdoun ver.2.0 on Sat Dec 12, 2009 10:47 PM PSTClerics manipulate people's emotions about religion and spirituality to attain their own agendas; which is mainly POWER. A good example--" vote this way and God told me that he is pleased with you but vote another way then you have supported moral corruption and have done kufr." or " burn this picture and God told me that you will be punished with hell fire but burn Obama's picture and God told me he will give u paradise."

Cows are smarter than these
by shahabshahab on Sat Dec 12, 2009 08:03 PM PSTThe audience chants according to what they are told. You can tell that some of them don't even know what the Arabic words mean, but they chant. Yes, they will go out and kill innocent people because their whole being has come under question. The majority of Iraniana who actually are silent should wake up and let these imbecils know that they belong to the mosque. Just like their Christian and Jewish counterparts they should get out of politics and do what they do best: fool people for a living, instead of killing them.
Ayat. Hamadani= chalghoz, Saddam finally gets a break
by mannya2001 on Sat Dec 12, 2009 07:54 PM PSTAyatollah Hamadani apparently losing his support (if he had any) is now a parrot for the hardliners. "Khamenie kosar ast...."
It appears Saddam is finally dropped from "Marg bar monafeqeen o Saddam" now it is "marg bar monafeqeene mozdoor." Saddam can finally rest in peace!
The Big Fat F_ _ K seen in the beginning is Ayat. Ahmad Khatami. Another scum bag.
One fatwa from Ayat. Sistani and all these parasites will run for cover.
The biggest untold secret is that the IRRG or Sepahis are not very religious, they are traditionalist bordering secular. They have no respect for the clegy. The Sepah is now running the country and these clerics are nothing but marginalized. You could see the Sepahis listening to Ayat. Hamadani. Most don't even have beards.
Iran is unofficially a military state. Will it become like the Burmese Junta or will it become like the Turkish military. Only time will tell
The bitter truth hurts too
by میرزا چغندر on Sat Dec 12, 2009 07:51 PM PSTI will not flag your comment and I ask others to refrain from flagging. Your reaction shows how bitter the truth is. You can say whatever you wanna say but your Shah was nothing but a corrupt and coward person beaten by a bunch of mullahs.

None look Iranian (2 ugly) & love Iran! Put them all on trial!
by obama on Sat Dec 12, 2009 07:11 PM PSTThey are the real MOFASD AL FEL ASR, since they dirtied the earth by their ugliness! None knows about chemistry, Algebra which were invented by the Persians! All they know is Koran, which is a great book.
The problem is, they don't even folllow the Koran! Where in Koran said that women, and men should suffer under these idiots? We had a revolution to be free, not to lose however little freedom we had! These thugs are real dictators! If Islam means dictatorship like this, then I want no part in it!
They use the Koran as a tool for power and silencing the opposition! This way, no one would dare to challenge them without the fear of imprisonment, since they would lable the opposition as anti-Isalm (not anti politicains/mollahs) and put them to death! Great strategy, don't you think? It has worked so far!
Solution: Separation of religion from politics!

Looks like a perfect re-run of the old shah regime's demise. Now its the akhoond regime's demise. So many mouth-pieces who don't sincerely believe what they say, and yet they say it, in a desparate final attemp to hang on.
Mofkhors afraid power is getting out of their hands..
by OmidKarimi on Sat Dec 12, 2009 06:41 PM PSTIran is one of the few nations in the world were an idiot without any degree, can sit in a Mosque in Qom and read the Qoran 50 000 times, and still be elected as a leader of a nation..
Lets put aside the fact that this is very sad by it-self, its also very dangerous for development and progress...

by mahmoudg on Sat Dec 12, 2009 06:39 PM PSTThe same bullshit they have regurgitated like a cow for 1400 years and intensely for the last 30. Is it not tiring to listen to these meaningless lies and buillshit they have given us. The fact that only towelheads and only 2-3000 gather to support his firey rhetoric ought to tell us that their time is up!
