Q

nice try MRX1, you're not fooling anyone

by Q on

1. you're lying, you were talking about me.
2. even if it wasn't me, you were talking about people who "know nothing about", even more so. The hypocrisy is clear.

Deal with that. Now go interrogate someone else.

Q

by MRX1 on

well Mr or Ms Q , my posting in here had nothing to do with you and your posting! I was making general observation.The fact that you took it upon yourself  to respond to me personally, puts you in a category of IRI lackeys and sympathizers.In scale of humanity it doesn't get any lower than that...........

why are people like you live in west? what so bad an about Islamic paradise? Government of allah on earth.why suffer every day living in an imprealist country, living among infidles and jews. Give up your green card and citizenship, give it to the people who want to escape from your islamic hell hole.


Q

MRX1,

by Q on

notice all the IRI lackeys , supporters and sympathizers they all live in U.S ,Canada and Europe and they all carry citizenship or green card of the respective countries they live at. Then they have nerve judging a poor woman who they don't know anything about.

And how much do you know about me or anyone else you feel like labeling "IRI lackeys"??? Looks like you're doing both the judging and the por-rooie around here.

The numbers are on my side. Most western countries have legal systems that give every benefit of the doubt to the refugee, and Canada leads the pack. A typical deportation procedure can take years in appeals. You can be damn sure she did not have a case-in-hell if she was ordered forcibly removed from Canada. And how many people have ever been arrested after being deported from Canada or Europe? Can you name any? This is proof that these countries are extremely thorough in their background research and evaluation. They didn't use to be, but they are now.

However, hundreds of so-called refugees have been found to be lying, cheating and making up fake stories and fake financial data to get benefits in Canada or Europe.

True, I do not know the specific case of this person. But the burden of proof is on her. I trust Canadian law that has already determined she DOES NOT HAVE A CASE.

You and our Zionist friend on the other hand are doing nothing but cynically using this woman's case as a way to give voice to your politics and your regime change uber alles ideology. You said it yourself, IRI supporters are also coming to Canada. So she may very well be related to Rafsanjani or some other "Mullah", I'd like to see the hypocricy in your face if that turns out to be true.

My position, however will not change.


Q

Zion/Tsion and other Israel propagandists

by Q on

You can put a sock in it, I'm not listening to your sudden selective "open borders" epiphany. We all know how much you really care about human life and Iranians in particular, so don't you dare lecture me or anyone else on this subject. If you have a problem with your own government, take it up with them. I have nothing to say to you.

Q, Are you kidding me?!

by Somepeopleshouldgoback (not verified) on

Your apology goes this far! Honestly you mean you don't know how thousands of Iranians living in Europe or Canada got their immigration status, you honestly think everybody belonged to Hezbe Toudeh? And you are labeling her as lazy. You have no shame.

I really think those who have a habit of bashing western countries should go back to Iran and so there is more room for people like her.
You make me sick. I hope you get to see this.

Q, legitimacy? Shame?!

by tsion on

'I find it highly unlikely that she had a legitimate case for staying in Canada'

Really? So what is your legitimate reason for staying in the US? The land of "racist imperialists" in your warped sick mind? Care to clarify that, instead of so proudly proclaiming out loud your hate and contempt on this poor and desperate soul who at the minimum wants nothing other than to live as a free individual and not an Islamic second hand surf under the dictatorial rule of your mullah masters in which she has no say for her future? She is definitely not the one that brings shame on Iranians, I can tell you that. Why don't you get out of here yourself instead, and go back where you belong, huh? :-)

can't blame the woman

by MRX1 on

who in the right mind wants to get deported to islamic paradise ? notice all the IRI lackeys , supporters and sympathizers they all live in U.S ,Canada and Europe and they all carry citizenship or green card of the respective countries they live at. Then they have nerve judging a poor woman who they don't know anything about. Poorro vahigh va ertejaee that's what they are. guess they must have learned these traitsfrom their dead emam!


Q

no Sympathy for this woman

by Q on

I can't have any sympathy for this woman who has truly brought shame to Iranians. I find it highly unlikely that she had a legitimate case for staying in Canada but was denied unfairly.

This is Canada! There is absolutely no way her life is in any Danger in Iran. (Except maybe if she owes money to her own relatives). She's not a political dissident, no one has ever heard of her name. She is supported enough to organize a protest outside the airport and have immigration groups speak for her, you don't think they have tried every single appeal or legal recourse (at public expense) before it got to this stage? Do you think they would deport her if she had the slightest case for staying?

Unlike the US, Canada is a true welfare state. In all the time she was in Canada waiting to be deported she could have slipped into the US and stayed here and worked for years illegally as many many people do. She didn't because US doesn't pay. Canada pays and so she wants to stay and get free pension for life for doing nothing.

Truely shameful.

RE: gol-dost

by Toofantheoncesogreat (not verified) on

Beautifull post, perfectly balanced and written in the view of Irans interests. I agree 100%, but I believe you should return and invest in your country, for the love of it, not the mullahs. They need jobs and cash back home in the private marked.

All this just to not go back to your own country!

by farrad02 on

This is a dumb escape because she has no future after escaping like this! She has broken multiple laws and there is no way she will ever be able to stay, especially after this escape!

If her life is really in danger back in Iran, then I understand. But we all know that an overwhelming majority of these deportees are not in danger when they get back to Iran and are often social and economic refugees and not political refugees!

Shame on Iranian gov. for making millions Vatanless!!!

by gol-dust on

What happened to the proud Iranians? Why should millions of us prefer living abroad when we are supposed to have our own home Iran? Many of us are highly educated and businessmen who can turn Iran into another beautiful Istanbul, if we return, but we cannot and will not due to our problems with Mollahs! we have become worse than the wonder Jews!

I wish Israel and the US would stay out of Iran, so Iranians would be able to change this tyrant regime on their own! Their interference has caused this regime to stay in power.

Iran rightfully defends the Palestinians, but they don't defend their own! This is a huge tragedy for our nation. Good thing this escape didn't take place in the US, otherwise the police would have shot her dead!

Timely News

by justInTime (not verified) on

This is a bit more than 6 years old. Maybe they have beefed up their security, by now. This is the trend all over the western societies they are bracing more and more for us. If “eroonman” gets to see this, he will die of shame right on the spot.

I only blame the government

I only blame the government of Iran, why would you refuse to go to your own country? Why would act like a fugitive? This makes me sick.

by shirazie (not verified) on

O Canada.. what a screw up..

just like their screw up in Mogadishu - when Canadian military would go man hunting...just kill unarmed citizens for fun

there seems to be a disconnect between Canadian People and their government. People are a very tolerant
