PFFFT, groupie, agent, wannabe, Youpppiiiie

 you're self-sufficiency is still so sexy. Enjoy!

P.S. Thanks for thinking I might be alive tomorrow. It depends on whether my two hairdryers for the price of one work in one bath.

Jigar,

I never called anyone an "agent" (I guess literacy is not your strong suit. May I suggest sticking to what you know best, i.e. generating new IC user names for yourself). I called this particular individual a Groupie. An "agent" is far higher on the food chain than a Groupie. Regards.

Amir1973, you're so sexy

The way you cyber-butt your imaginary IRI IC agents' bottoms, is a sign of the most sexy, manly self-sufficiency.

Kink me over! (As Dirty Angel would say)

All biased

People are all biased depending on their point of view. Hence there is no credibility. Not just on this site or blog but anywhere. I read one guy claiming that America wants to attack IRI. Another says America is 100% behind IRI.

Here if you are cynical of West you take anti-Western side. If you are more anti-Islamic you take anti-Islamic side. None of this is surprising.. I might as well drop the pretense and be honest. I don't like or trust Islam or Islamic things alright!

Therefore anything we say is opinion unless we have indisputable proof. My statement about the thugs being Islamist is opinion. However I say there is no question Egyptian forces have been infiltrated by Islamic Brotherhood. 

Muslim Brotherhood In US police???

lol.

Gosh. Lemme Venture a wild guess here... They can be seen mainly in a place like Birmingham, Alabam... (thatsss right sonny boy...) They call us the "AAlii baabaa" force. lol . or... or... Huntsville, Texasss.... Hheeee haaa... Ya akhi!

When are some people going to remove their precious minds Out of the gutter... And start thinking straight.

AT some point sewing Gooyez To shaghayegh Must end Akhe Ballam Jan..

Meybokhor jaan.

Please ... DO some more work and bring up more credible evidence of your claim. Not some shaggy, Loose... Whatever you may call it. 

All I can say is....

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

some of us need to get a hold of ourselves!

You think it is a bait, you think it is a pix of demonstration in Iran, you think he is 'be dar mige ke divar beshnave’ argue those points and make it logical.

Attacking someone just because we think he is Islamist, Shahi,  Zionist or what have you only diminishes our own credibility and show the disingenuous intention.

Scott Olsen

Was not raped was he? 

Is this all you can utter? Or can you come with more intelligent

I mean if you hadn't learn (been taught) this "West-residing IRI Groupie" phrase from somewhere, you'd probabely end up in a school for the challenged going ugh-ugh-ugh-ugh.

IRI Groupies are shocked by all this brutality

And the reason is that the rapists and killers of the IRI are not brutal themselves.

Muslim Brotherhood has also infiltrated US Police

Muslim Brotherhood has also infiltrated US Police and here is the evidence:

...The Tuesday night injury of a Marine veteran of two tours in Iraq while peacefully protesting in Oakland marks a major shift in my attitude toward the Occupy Movement.

Scott Olsen, age 24, was apparently struck by a tear gas canister as Oakland police attempted to clear “occupiers”  from the intersection of 14th and Broadway.   Mr. Olsen’s skull was fractured and he has been unable to speak since the injury....

Re: ??? So now the Egyptian Police and Army are Islamists?

Yes. If you pay attention much of Egyptian force are infiltrated by Islamic Brotherhood. This is right down their alley.

??? So now the Egyptian Police and Army are Islamists?

Well, that is new to me. Tnx for the update.

Arab Spring

Maybe it is facilitated by the West. But the brute actions we observe are "home made". West also facilitated revolutions in former Eastern Block. I did not see such actions in Poland or East Germany.

Revolutions may be pushed but people behave according to their culture. This is a fact. No one is forcing these thugs to beat the woman. It was their personal choice. Don't cop out by blaming the West. That is standard "Poor victim me" Islamic response.

truthseeker is right

This blog was a bait however it did not achieve what it wanted. Many people condemned the act. I for one did. But I did not turn it into a political bash the West issue. Because this is not a "Western" act. It is done by goons which happen to be Islamists.

But some people depending on their political made different posts. From pushing Monarchy to bashing  the West.  

Press TV & other IRI outlets are good at highlighting abuses too

Of nearly every country in the world except for the freedom-loving, democratic IRI. This particular West-residing IRI Groupie blogger is merely fulfilling the same function as the IRI's propaganda outlets...Hopefully, that will clear up certain individuals' misunderstanding and puzzlement. 

@Tiger Lily

It there something special about reaching the 1000 words?

@Truthseeker9

On the main blog page one could also read this sentence:

"Arab Spring or Arab Hoax? Welcome to Cairo where the military knows best."

I guess I should have repeated the sentence in the main body of the blog... 

...

We're not as thick as you think TL. Have fun.   ;)

PFFFT! @Meybokhor_M, you forgot me.

Of course, I got it and cut right through it, putting myself in her shoes, as you know, and as others did right at the beginning.

The "clue", was in your one sentence! A normal debate would now have been about the "West-sponsored" bit.

"This picture is dedicated to followers of West-sponsered [sic]"democratic" movements."

Have you got your thousand words yet LOL?

P.S. How can anybody be so unbelievably thick, as to think that the picture was taken in Iran? 

You are playing with people

When you chose to write a blog which is a one liner, people will make their own conclusions. It is unclear whether it is a sincere comment or sarcastic. Because it is vague people will interpret it according to your previous posts and political views. You've riled people and achieved what you wanted.

@Bavafa

Yes. Appearantly you are the only one.

Will someone help me understand this….

Am I the only one that see this blog as a condemnation of the violent act by Egyptian military?

Shouldn’t this act be condemned, even if they are backed by the Western powers?

I am puzzled by the wave of attack against the blogger and his intention in publishing this blog

If someone can point me to see what is “humiliating” here, the beaten woman or the thugs who are beating the innocent protester

Personally what remains alarming for me is, the unchecked growth of state intervention in every sphere of life; social and personal.

I agree 100%

The fact that US government could now detain and imprison American citizens, as it has alreadty done, without almost any recourse,- other than Center for Constitutional Rights and other good lawyers (CCR&... is meant as dark humor!)-, should be very alarming to all. 

Again you got a very good point. I mentioned "if respected". The problem here is it is not respected. I do not see how indefinite detentions are possibly legal. It is such an obvious violation of the Bill of Rights it is a no brainier. 

Any judge or "Justice" who does not see this is not fit to be a dog catcher. Much less be a judge! 

Bill of Rights itself was passed in 1789, almost a decade after

the American Revolution, and it took a struggle to have it done even after the revolution. Obviously there was more work to be done. 

Personally what remains alarming for me is, the unchecked growth of state intervention in every sphere of life; social and personal. To make it worse this is a process we see in almost every single western country from Sweden to US. The fact that US government could now detain and imprison American citizens, as it has alreadty done, without almost any recourse,- other than Center for Constitutional Rights and other good lawyers (CCR&... is meant as dark humor!)-, should be very alarming to all.

My point is: power should always be checked. I do not want mobs of "people" doing this. People specially: uneducated; angry should not get unlimited power. Remember "Komitehs" going harassing people based on grudges.

To me basic rights are more important than even democracy.  By that I mean things like the ones in the Bill of Rights. If respected and really implemented they automatically protect HR. Things like:

• No detention without charges and a fair trial.
• Guaranteed freedom of speech.
• Guaranteed freedom to organize unions; parties and so on.

You get the idea and without them democracy will not work. If you have them democracy will automatically result. No dictatorship will be able to remain if basic rights are given.

Dear Rea,

For the sake of clarification, I said this is behavior typical of Islamists (i.e. followers of a particular political ideology and worldview) NOT Arabs (i.e. members of a particular ethnic/linguistic group). I have no doubt that most people, including most Arabs, are appalled by such brutal beatings.

And how did societies that became democratic do it?

Lets look at ones with long histories like our own people, successful examples would be japan, UK, sweden, netherlands examples of failures would include india, for societies with a complex history.  The successful ones seem to do it gradually and not all in one go.  Based on peace and progress both being there in every single case.

The monarchy is the best institution to bring the peace and progress necessary for Iran to develop into a democratic society.  The clerics have brought neither peace nor progress so moving from them to a democracy straight away is a pipe dream.  In Pinochets Chile the country could go to a democracy because with his dictatorship there was peace and progress, economicaly the country was thriving and shooting upwards, while providing good education and building institutions that could compete in the world.

VPK, It's all about power to the people

The problem in here, in IR, with Mobarak, shah,... was not the people. This is the state, with its monopoly on violence that's wreaking havoc, not the people.

People are fighting the state, and the state is killing them.

The root cause of all this mayhem is the state's monopoly on violence and power.

In a democratic society no institution shall have such a monoploy on violence, and is always accountble to people's checks and balances.

Re: Rea has a point. These anti-riot units are ...

 
... anti-riot units broke both of her arms and raped her. She thought that they were mostly from poor and uneducated background, hell bent to displaying their power. Our resident cyber-jahady here, is another story of course. 

This is why people should not be given Carte Blanche to do as they want. Revolutions often give "poor" the chance to wreak havoc among the "rich".  These people have been stepped on for years and use the chance to get "revenge".

There was a great deal of this *** going on with the Komitehs after the revolution in Iran. Basically drove many educated decent upper class types away. That is why I say: "No power to the people".
