Zahra Karimi, the new face of the IRI

by John Carpenter III (not verified) on Thu Aug 28, 2008 01:40 PM PDT

Zahra Karimi, by far and away, is the new face of the I.R.I. Her gold medal victory puts the Islamic Republic in the news in favorable light. Both Ayat'Allah Syed Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the leaders of Iranian must be proud at this moment.

Batwoman!

Congratulations To Miss Karimi for her achievement. I like to see her in the next batman movie as the batwoman. She won't even need to change her outfit, just put on a mask which will comply more with the islamic dress code. LOL!

For Ebi

No! I won't take "patriarchal 101 literature." That symbolic phrase you used, is a sexist phrase. You need to begin questionning your patriarchal and chauvinistic literature 101. Capich?

She has Some Explaining to Do When She Returns Home

by Anonymous Observer (not verified) on Sun Aug 24, 2008 04:06 PM PDT

I don't know....that protective vest is a little too body conforming...it shows the outline of her breasts...and you know what happens to us of we see that as a society......we will all collectively go to hell...I think that we need one of our resident Islamists to pray for our salvation now...

Where is Farhad Kashani ?

by Shining Head on Sun Aug 24, 2008 02:59 PM PDT

He was complaining that Iran is a backward place (typical Zio-Nazi view) BECAUSE its olympic team did not win ANY medals. Where is he now? May be he is in Tel Aviv busy stealing palestinian children's medicine brought by the boats to Gaza!!!

For Ebi: "a real man"?????

by A.nonymous (not verified) on Sun Aug 24, 2008 02:53 PM PDT

Ebi, don't you think you insult a woman when you call her a "man"? ShirZan is a brave and strong woman, not a woman who is really a man! ShirFahm shodi??? :-)

Congratulations to these Wushu winners, but this is not an official sport at the Olympics. Iran only won 1 gold (Taekwondo) and 1 bronze (Freestyle Wrestling) in all.

That's fantastic! What the hell is Wushu anyway? It wasn't explained on Wiki. I love that our women can kick ass even with a cumbersome hijab under a helmet.

Wushu is not an olympic sport

by Foaad Khosmood on Sun Aug 24, 2008 01:11 PM PDT

usually a number of non-olympic sports are also held at the same time. Some of these sports later become Olymplic sports. This one hasn't yet become one. although it seems real close.

Congratulations to Zahra.
