No to Voting; Yes to Protest

by Mort Gilani on

Dariush

It is perfectly legitimate for the people who were against voting to support those in the streets when they get brutalized by useless Muslim thugs.

Would you like me to send you a one-way ticket to Islamic Iran so you can live under Ahmadi's utopia for the time he remains in power?

Mousavi and Karoubi are

by Dariush (not verified) on

Mousavi and Karoubi are arrested for disputing the election results, but Rafsanjani is free working on toppling khamenei and Ahmadinejad? I think, this is it. This gave reason and public support to Khamenei and Ahmadinejad to arrest Rafsanjani, his family and all the members in his gang and charge them with treason among many other charges. Justice is catching up! It is time for Ahmadinejad to take charge. otherwise, he will be assassinated. Rafsanjani does not have public support. His power is in a few hundreds well paid assassins. That is his signature.

Ahmadinejad should arrest him and his gang. seize their assets, then investigate and charge them accordingly in a just court of law. Ahmadinejad should deliver an speech for human rights and freedom and change the justice system to make sure human rights and freedom are respected and free all the political prisoners as the proof to his new policies. Otherwise, Rafsanjani will take him down. Rafsanjani is not about human rights and freedom. If he was, he had the chance for eight years. He is trying to protect his wealth and power by any means even if thousands in public get killed.

Why not?

by Anonymous-Patriot (not verified) on

All of you who are giving "Sho'Ar" and beating your chests, why not we pick up guns and kill everyone you disagree with? You could do it now and every four years from now on in the name of elections. Isn't it stupid to get violent with everyine you disagree with? Isn't this lack of telerance the very issue you raise as justification for hating Ahmadi? So because you can type some English and live outside Iran does that give you the right to insite a riot?

Persians, unlike Arabs, have a very ancient civilization and understand the meaning of tolerance. Unfortunately we got some "hemar" genes mixed in along the way. I can see those in Iran can't help themselves when I read these educated who live in the West writing about killing and buring and fighting because the elections did not go theri way; "Aghebat gorg zadeh gorg shavad, gareche ba adamee bozorg shavad!!"

To all those that

ridicule Iranians for protesting..

Have you not seen the absurd election results? Ahmadi winning in Azarbaijan? Winning in Lorestan? Winning by such huge margins in a 70% under-30 nation?

You're conveniently forgetting those facts, it's almost as if you're trying to portray these people as bad citizens, even though these election results (and very undemocratic actions of the gov't) are fair in any way, shape or form.

And also, in case you forgot, people don't riot and set things on fire to protest election results. They do it to start a revolution.

Respect people's verdict

by Prem Nizar Hameed on

Despite the political situations in , Ahmedinejad has won means it is an endorsement of people’s verdict. His firm stand for the development of the villagers and the middle class helped him swim to victory. So we must respect the verdict. But we expect more freedom to Iran’s people and a good relation with Iran’s neighbours and friends and also reconciliation with its foes for the sake of ’s development, and peace and tranquility in the region. Ideological confrontation in healthy way is welcome in democratic set up.

Ahmedinejad is known to be a simple man in his personal life. So he can translate those qualities of simplicity and humility in his official and foreign affairs in order to win the world. When he tends to listen to the world with equanimity, the world will also listen to his every wise word. The main agenda in the world must be to remove the word WAR from all the lexicons. We expect him to be part of that campaign sincerely. Just imagine how beautiful a world with full of peace will be! For that, a peace dove spreads its wings from my hand.

What madness?!
Okay, I understand you don't like Ahmadi, but does this justify burning the city? We saw Bush elected the second time but did we set the streets on fire? This is why we have Ahmadi in the first place. Iran has its own share of animals just as we do here in US (I mean Fox News and Rush Limbaugh types). You can even read some of them here on Iranian.com...oh well...

بزن باران بهاران فصل خون است
بزن باران که صحرا لاله گون است
بزن باران که به چشمان یاران
جهان تاریک و دریا واژگون است
بزن باران که به چشمان یاران
جهان تاریک و دریا واژگون است
بزن باران بهاران فصل خون است
بزن باران که صحرا لاله گون است

بزن باران که دین را دام کردند
شکار خلق و صید خام کردند
بزن باران خدا بازیچه ای شد
که با آن کسب ننگ و نام کردند

بزن باران به نام هرچه خوبیست
به زیر آوار گاه پایکوبیست
مزار تشنه جویباران پر از سنگ
بزن باران که وقت لای روبیست
بزن باران بهاران فصل خون است
بزن باران که صحرا لاله گون است

بزن باران و شادی بخش جان را
بباران شوق و شیرین کن زمان را
به بام غرقه در خون دیارم
به پا کن پرچم رنگین کمان را
بزن باران که بیصبرند یاران
نمان خاموش! گریان شو! بباران!
بزن باران بشوی آلودگی را
ز دامان بلند روزگاران
بزن باران بهاران فصل خون است
بزن باران که صحرا لاله گون است

بزن باران که دین را دام کردند
شکار خلق و صید خام کردند
بزن باران خدا بازیچه ای شد
که با آن کسب ننگ و نام کردند

So, this is how some Iranians react to losing an election?

by Anonymouss (not verified) on

How classy. How "civilized". So what was the point of even bothering with the election in the first place? I'm embarrassed by what I see here, actually. I'll admit it. This looks fine here in the US or England, because what else do Iranians do but light trash cans on fire and fall on the ground running after each other?

Sad, really.

The Show Must Go On Part II Action take

by Ardeshir Ariana on

Near Future of Persia/Iran ... A mere Prediction.‏

"All the World's a Stage,

and All the Men and Women merely Players ...

(Plan A) Islamic Republic last pre-staged Election.

(Plan B) Ahmadinejad wins the pre-planned show.

(Plan C) Purple Orange Revolution underway:

1) Khamenei will be placed under house Arrest if he does not give up power.

2) Rafsanjani will give up power.

3) Mohsen Rezai will move out of Persia/Iran.

There will be a pre-staged United Nations Election in Iran.

HM Cyrus Pahlavi will resume indirect Power with his pre-chosen Cabinet.  

US & Persia/Iran will become Happy friends Again for at least the next 30 years.

(Plan D-Z) Should something go wrong with the Above plans.
All options are on the table means All plans have already been made, compromised and ready to execute at the right time.

"Such insults and accusations against the government are a return to Hitler's methods, to repeat lies and accusations... until everyone believes those lies,"  AhmadiNejad said, quoted by local media.

Iranians would "send them to the bottom of history", he added.
(Ahmadinejad is really talking About himself & The end of Islamic Republic).

Martin Luther King, Jr.: And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers? Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do Gods will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lords.

Reason: We the People of Persia/Iran still live in Denial & Not quite Awaken yet.

Why are We Persians/Iranians are So predictable to Our foreign friends.

Do we have such a short memory of Our recent history, i.e. The So called 1979 revolution.

Ahmadinejad won, get over it.

by agha shirazi (not verified) on

Everyone I spoke to at the polling booth made it clear they didn't think much of the other candidates.. (Rezai Interpol felon, Karroubi corrupt/incompetent, Moussavi "loved by Khomeini & laid foundations of IRI"). So whose left? Ahmadinejad..

So you kharejiis just sit there in your living rooms and enjoy your comfortable surrounds and egg your fellow countrymen to get beat up and killed just so you lot can get your rocks off. Jeez summer "crazy season" hasn't even started yet..

by Dariush (not verified) on

Some were recommending a peaceful demonstration like Gandhi. Is this it? Some were recommending force. Well, I give credit to government for not shooting anyone, as shah did and Americans and Israelis do.

What is with these Mousavi supporters? How did Mousavi become so worthy of such clashes. Is he not strongly supported by Rafsanjani? and they all know who Rafsanjani is? It seems to me Mousavi was to protect the wealthy criminals more than anything else. Again, a minority loses and they cannot accept the loss and they rage war against the majority. These protesters are being used. Rafsanjani knows he and his children will be finished soon, that is why he is doing all he can to topple Ahmadinejad, but he is doing it without getting involved directly by using Mousavi. I will not be surprised if Ahmadinejad was assasinated by Rafsanjani very soon specially with him being such an easy target.

Why wouldn't it be possible for Ahmadinejad to win the election without fraud? After All, the majority of Iranians are middle to lower class who are the supporters of Ahmadinejad.

Mousavi should have taken more responsibility and calm his supporters before they get hurt and hurt others instead of understanding their violence. With democracy and freedom comes responsibility. They shouldn't ask for it, if they cannot handle it. Instead of riot, they should peacefully organize a better campaign for the next election.

by The World DOES Care About Iran (not verified) on

It really amazes me. If the religious theocracy in Iran would have just let the election of Mousavi take place instead of letting Ahmadinejad steal it, then they would have still retained power. As it stands now, the theocracy may just find themselves out of a job soon.

How sad I feel for the people of Iran

They Need Our Help

by Mort Gilani on

Those brave Iranian boys and girls in the streets need help:
1) World leaders including President Obama must speak up in solidarity with the protesters and majority of Iranians, if they are true to human rights and democratic values.
2) People in small cities must make their voices heard too, specially our Azari compatriots.  IR is a plague on the entire nation not only Tehran.

by AnonymousXYZ (not verified) on

All should keep in mind that Rafsanjani, Khatami, Larijani, this mullah's son, that mullah's wife, their father, and cousins, are ALL IRI players. This is precisely what Rafsanjani threatened in his letter to his rival, the "leader", regarding Ahmadinejad's frontal attack on him. This is a lose-lose situation for Iran.
