Iranian of the Day

VPK jaann

babajaan ... aziz jan

All she did was saying one short line about AN, and how he is showing iran's power to the world. Maybe she likes his character but not the actions and politics??  That is all dige. What else did she say? Why fabricating stuff?  

While we are asking for

While we are asking for subsidies to be returned back, lets apply that to every Iranian, shall we?

This is actually would be a great way to start the next mass revolution & revolt as Iran needs one.

I don't know if she has got any assistance from Iranian government or not, but mind you that there are many that receive government assistance to go and study, research, etc (both in Iran and other countries) and no one seems to be having any issues with those. But got help us if the recipient of that grant is actually successful… oh no no no that is not acceptable!

On the serious note, I am all OK with some one to receive assistance and actually put it in a good use and is successful in a positive way. I am however miffed with those who receive the assistance and just piss it away and never do any thing good OR is for some thing that does not benefit humanity and our country.

won't change the fact: many iranians are ahmadinejad supporters and it is our duty to respect their opinions. till that day, we cannot call ourselves supporters of democracy. what we saw last year was around 30% of iranians being sore losers after the elections. the government's response was too heavy handed, but the fact remains that ahmadinejad was most iranians' preferred candidate. let us be grown up about it.

Peace

Would you feel the same way

Would you feel the same way if this was September 1978, and you were your revolutionary self, and Ms. Rezai had just beaten Martina Navratalova in the finals at Wimbledon and had expressed emotional solidarity and support for Bakhtiar, Shah and co. (knowing the sheer zeal/volume of hatred for the Shah in many circles at the time)?

The jackasses (read: revolutionaries) would be whispering "Savaki." Remember the chants of Bakhtiar/bee-ekhtiar? Well, guess what, pal, these are revolutionary times as well.

SO true...Good one.

I shouldve said if he withdraws his Ahmadi support he'll have 2!

Everything is sacred.

anonymouse: Why does he have

anonymouse: Why does he have to give it back?

 I even met this mullah

 I even met this mullah once who was shutting up like a little rat infront of my father, too bad I was only 9 years old back then, cause I would still crack his skull open for wearing that turban on his head.

 And they are the bad guys?!! For me this as extremist! 
 Personally I think that I you want a change in your beloved country, you should move your ass and go there and do something....

Its easy to seat back in sunny California and talk and talk ... come on!

vildemose if her father receives "subsidy" he has 2 pay it back!

Everything is sacred.

what if Arvaneh's family

what if Arvaneh's family has received financial assistane from AN? What does her father do in France?

Independent voice = Ahmadi supporter!

Everything is sacred.

Rezai

is an outstanding talent, and an independent voice. she is truly admirable.

Peace

......

Aravane said that she has had the best of two worlds:

DK jaan Aravane doesn't espeak English. Can u interview her?!

Has she has said anything in French recently after winning this Madrid title?

Everything is sacred.

......

Hi! Veiled Prophet of Khorasan,

     So sorry to hear the sad news! IRI is super brutal! IRI executes in the name of God! It is just beyond my imagination!

Anahid jaan we're writing about "news" we didn't know about

JJJ was a passionate supporter of Aravane, so was I and so were many others.  As you can see we're all surprised to find out she supported Ahmadi.  So we want to discuss it and share information or old news about her.

Our influence in changes inside Iran is slim to none.  I think we should discuss whatever happens to present itself.  I hope our discussion reaches Aravane herself and her camp and media, especially the tennis media so they ask her about her views now.

She may shrug the questions or refuse to make any comment but as an Iranian who supported her and STILL supports her I think it is only appropriate that we ask and discuss. 

Everything is sacred.

One suggestion: today spend your time against IRI leaders

I have one suggestion to all who so passionately wrote against this tennis player.  Now that your juices have got going and you are being so radical and if you are really so anti IRI, show us by turning this thread into an attack against IRI .  Attack Khamenie, Ahmadi and company.  Or generate a blog of your own against IRI leaders.  Let's see what you do. Or will today be another day in IC writing about a tennis player rather than attacking leaders of IRI?

Let's compare Aravane with Rezazadeh (the Hercules ;-)

Rezazadeh the twice olympic gold medalist openly supported Ahmadinejad and from day one he was in support of Khamanei and Islamic Republic and all that.  Although his 2 olympics were prior to Ahmadi's time.

So when I was following him I knew his political views, cast them aside and watched him win medal after medal and break world records of weightlifters such as Vasili Alexeev sometimes known as world's greatest weighlifter ever! also one of my atheletic heros in the late 70s.

There are plenty of Ahmadi supporters in Iran and this one on top of them.

As for Aravane when she started her career there were some Muslim women's game in Iran that she won and she played both for the French and Iranian teams.  I do recall her father giving interviews about her outfit once and saying when she plays in Europe she wears tennis clothes and when she plays in Muslim countries she wears Islamic tennis clothes or something like that!

So she was trying to save a seat for herself in Iranian women's tennis and I think that may be one of the reasons she came in support of Ahmadi.  I remember her father saying they have some financial issues and not having a sponsor.  Hard to imagine which sponsor would "sponsor" an Ahmadi supporter!

However, unlike Rezazadeh she does not live in Iran and has the benefit of living in freedom.  Today is different that 11 months ago.  She can still come out in support of Ahmadi as she is free to say anything she wants.  We just want to know what she thinks now, that's all.

If she still supports Ahmadi so be it.  We'll make a note and move on and watch her tennis.  I didn't know that she supported Ahmadi.  Come to think of it, I'd LOVE to see her still support Ahmadi and go from there!

Everything is sacred.

As I am sure you know and agree. Shahbanou Farah didn't go around executing kids. Not like the IRI the Pahlavi's worst was better than IRI's best.

Well I guess We all have Our own Idols ...

Tennis Champ Mansour Bahrami Greets Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi at the Roland Garros Tennis Tournament in Mid 1990's. Bahrami's published an autobiography in French entitled Le Court des Miracles. Watch Funny Moments at Royal Albert Hall.

A CHACUN SON IDOL: Mansour Bahrami and Shahbanou Farah ( Roland Garros-2007)

One more thing, Kuroush...

You write, "She is not fighthing any fights but the fight of her own life and while doing that she can throw her support behind anyone."

Yes, we don't live in the IRI, so she is free to "throw her support behind anyone." I would hope that as a woman herself, she wouldn't throw her support behind a mafia regime that would skin her alive after raping her for having an opinion, much less dress the way she does. In Iran, if she went to court, her opinion would be deemed half of that of a man. This is the regime that she's throwing "her support behind."

Fine, so be it. She's a clueless athelete. But again, she's a public figure, and if she chooses to get politically involved, political animals like me are going to go after her if she spouts poetically in favor of a rapist cabal of child-killers and blood-suckers -- whereas if she stayed away from politics, ala Andre Agassi, I would cheer her with all the fervor in the world.

Do you get the picture, pal?

As I'm sure you know, Islam is actually a contraction of the word "taslim," which by definition means "submission."

The relationship between Allah and a Muslim is one of master and slave, as opposed to the Christian religion, where there is a father and child relationship between the creator and Christian.

I think this says a lot about Islam.

Iran is a prisoner of IRI 

What the hell is this nonesense, Kuroush?

I'm not denying this twit's freedom of speech! Have you taken your vitamins today? Or maybe you need some sleep? She's free to speak her mind, but I'm also free to criticize her words. She's a PUBLIC FIGURE, for Chrissakes!!! Even the standard of law is higher in defamation/slander cases against public figures, i.e., NY Times malice = reckless disregard for the truth; meaning that I can say anything about a public figure so long as I do not "recklessly" disregard the truth. And the beauty part is, the truth is a defense.

I'm not denying her right to speak her mind, Kuroush (SONNY JESUS!!!), all I'm saying is that IF SHE STEPS INTO THE FIERY HELL-HOLE OF POLITICS -- WHICH SHE DID!!! -- THEN SHE SHOULD BE PREPARED TO TAKE SOME SERIOUS HEAT, PERIOD, EXCLAMATION POINT!

What part of this don't you understand, bro?

And if her brain is under-developed in terms of politics, then her Iranian parents should step in and give her sound advice, and if they didn't because they're IRI supporters, then she still deserves a bruising, and if the parents did advice against a public show of support for monkeynejad and she went against their advice, then again, she deserves a public lynching. She's not a child, Kuroush, she was 22-year-old public figure when she opened her mouth in support of our fraudulent chimp.

Boom Shakalaka

Thank you. It happened some years ago but I just found out. Nevertheless it was very painful to find out. I really don't understand how anyone is able to supports this regime.

IranianDude

Islamist idea of coexistence is that they live and we die. Or that they beat us into "Submission" i.e. Islam. Not peace but submission. They are a truly sickening bunch. When defeated the whine about rights. When victorious the murder without regret.

I am never going to fall for the Islamic BS. They are bullies and understand one thing: forceful response. No submission; we will not be their dihimis.

VPK

My condolences, friend. I really hope she's in a better place.

Iran is a prisoner of IRI 

KouroshS, thanks but...no thanks.

Don't you think you're going a little "overboard" as well, pal? I'm not attacking "anyone and everyone... all over the world" -- if that's not going "overboard," then I don't know what is. Here, I've agreed with Iraniandudee3, bencross in some posts and VPK. And if you think I'm attacking everyone for "every little reason" then you're further going "overboard." The future of Iran is not any tiny "little reason." It's important. A great many of us have lost loved ones at the hands of this regime. I have. Have you?

You don't see me leaving comments on blogs about poetry and music, do you? The political situation in Iran is in a state of tremendous flux right now. It could go either way: democracy or further military dictatorship. This could be the beginning of the end for the IRI. They have ZERO legitimacy around the world these days. Even their sham "elections" were shown last summer to be nothing more than fraudulent selections. One would not exaggerate by saying these are revolutionary times in Iran and we don't need mindless twits in the all-important media to muddy the waters (remember how before the revolution they used to claim in the media that Khomeini was a "Ghandi-like" figure? -- well, that shit fooled a lot of gullible westerners).

What part of this don't you understand, pal?

Kourosh Jan

I just got news that a girl I knew was executed in Iran at age of 15 by IRI. This woman is proud of this regime? She is either ignorant or approves of such actions. Neither one speaks highly of her. 

If you want to call me mean go right ahead. I don't go around executing children nor do I approve of it. Nor do I provide propaganda for those who do. Now if you still think I am mean then so be it.

further more

Have you realized that non of these islamists abroad bark in Iranian communities, they know that the people would beat them silly if they ever showed any support for these islamists. Every single one of them I've met turned around and claimed to be anti-islamic repub, I even met this mullah once who was shutting up like a little rat infront of my father, too bad I was only 9 years old back then, cause I would still crack his skull open for wearing that turban on his head.

I swear to god, if I ever meet any islamists or sympathizer I'll make them regret it, this sir, is a fu.king promise to you all.

Islamists are the nazis

Or do you need them to kill millions of people for you to finally realize it? I guess the 100 thousands of people they killed and jailed for speaking their mind weren't enough. Buddy, come back to me when these islamisst let people express their opinions freely, which is when hell freezes over, til then, my answer to them is still beating them into a deep coma.

Irandudee3

Yep. That is what you are doing, I am glad you caught it. Good call.
