Re: Thoroughly disgusted
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Oct 05, 2010 11:06 AM PDTThat is what happens when we have "comment deletion". Now explain that to our resident censors. People are afraid of the truth. Until it comes and bites them where it hurts. Then they cry "why didn't someone warn me". Well people like you try. But the anti-Freedom people censor posts and pretend to be in the majority.

Thoroughly disgusted
by My Name Is Borat on Tue Oct 05, 2010 09:50 AM PDTWhat in the world is wrong with you people?
This whatever you want to call her has been kissing up to the IRI, and AN. It is as clear and obvious as could be. She has acted as a tool to spread their rubbish throughout the West.
That makes her an apologist and a collaborator. Deleting the post doesn't change that fact.
And if it was deleted because of anything else I said about her, remember there wasn't one word that was profane. So either someone is acting very juvenile, or perhaps they secretly harbor the same ideology that has kept Iran in the stone ages for 33 years.

"silent majority"??
by pas-e-pardeh on Sat Oct 02, 2010 07:46 PM PDTDear kooshan, you may silently be lonely. you may silently be alone. you may silently have dreams of grandiosity. you may silently forsake you conscience and think of ways to justify rape and murder. you may silently have visions of crushing the powerful.
But, you are not in the majority.

by Demo on Fri Oct 01, 2010 11:30 AM PDTMy response was based on a “faith in unity” reference book for its large number of believers regardless of their race, nationality, titles, positions, and etc. The Mahdi group is a “man made” cult to me. There is mention of it in Quran as with other numerous groups/sects around. Divisions in the pure “unity faith” is prohibited there, No mention of 12th e-mom there either. Therefore any discussions with your questions are beyond my reach. However, I strongly believe that neither Ahmadinejad nor “No fear” has ever thoroughly read/studied that book in their lives.
Will they not, then, ponder over this Quran??? Or are there locks upon their hearts?? (Verse 24, Section 45, Quran)

by MM on Fri Oct 01, 2010 10:20 AM PDTWhether someone believes in the appearance of the 12th emam, the second coming of Jesus or a living god in the form of an animal are part of their personal beliefs, and that should be tolerated in the spirit of religious tolerance in a secular society.
However, while "no fear" is arguing that Hojjatiyeh organization believes in peaceful means, without resorting to violence or political upheaval, one of the charges levied against AN and his Mahdi society is that they want the weapons of mass destruction for use so that the ensuing chaos enhances the coming of the 12th emam.
If so, we should care about their hidden agenda / motives. Hence, my question was regarding procedural differences between the two societies without being judgmental on religions. That is, if Hojjatiyeh is waiting peacefully for the 12th emam, while the Mahdi society wants to enhance it thru elligitimate actions.
In case you're wondering what Ahmadinejad said in Arabic
by acopier101 on Fri Oct 01, 2010 09:26 AM PDTThree languages were spoken, but most of us only understand Farsi and English, and there was no Arabic to Farsi or English translation. For those of us who do not speak any Arabic, here I am providing the translations
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
اللهم عجل لوليك الفرج و العافيه و النصر و اجعلنا من خير انصاره و اعوانه و المستشهدين بين يديه
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Oh, God, hasten the arrival of Imam Al- Mahdi and grant him good health and victory and make us his followers and those who attest to his rightfulness

So you imply that people who want peace and kindness fawn over AN. Over a man with a hand in the daily rape and murder of Iranians? Do I get this right?
What do you base your assertion on? How do you know she represents the "silent majority". Yet another unfounded claim by an IRI supporter. Don't you people get sick of lying? For god sake I know many Iranians abroad and only one who shares this woman's ideas. And that one is a left over communist from the 60's. She had to run away to USA and now spends her time hating America. The nation that took her in.
To Demo: Yes AN is the furthest thing from God. A promoter of murder and rape is not a man of god.
You are absolutely right about "Shirk" aka worshipping multiple gods. The god of AN is Khamenei yet another promoter of murder; rape and Shirk. The guy practically glaims devine power.

Dear MM
by Demo on Thu Sep 30, 2010 10:30 PM PDTFor a believer in Quran, the belief of Ahmadinejad & his alike (with “No Fear” of retributions, of course) in any sort of “GOD’s” helper(s) in the planet earth affairs management & in his (or theirs, e,g. Jesus Christ as you mentioned) reappearance is an absolute “Shirk” (all humans' resurrections, however, will take place on a universal judgement day, per Quran). That book clearly states that all sins are forgivable except that of “Shirk.” It also explains crystal clear that no human (created out of a drop of sperm in his/her mom’s womb) is in a position whatsoever to scribe “divinity” aught besides him. Now, go figure how in the world one can religiously rank himself (Priest, Rabi, Ayatollah, & you name it!) or could go as far calling himself GOD’s representative (Vali, “Moazam”, and etc) on earth.
PS: My prayer goes tonight wishing “our creator” brings all of our hearts & especially of fellow Iranians closer together. Ameen.

It seems to me we all have same objectives but differing approaches and process in reaching to them.......Democracy is a good thing....people should get in power to serve same objectives with the way they can do their best to execute their plans.

by MM on Thu Sep 30, 2010 09:46 PM PDTI believe AN is more of a Mahdi-enhancer that wants the 12th one to appear as soon as possible thru their actions. Sorta similar to some of the Jesus-freaks we have here. But, I do not know the difference between what AN is and what no Fear is advertising is his blog on Hojjatiyeh society? Do you?
PS, the comments are more interesting than videos.

دعایی که احمدی نژاد شب و روز تکرار می کند «دعای فرج» است که ظهور با عجلة امام زمان را طلب می کند. این دعا ساخته و پرداخته ملایان فرقه حجتیه در ایران است و اصلأ و ابدأ به هیچیک از آیه ها و سوره های قرآن مر تبط نیست. در قرآن مجید مطلقأ ذکری از امام زمان و یا غیبت و ظهور او نیست. در ضمن چون فقط اقلیتی اندک از مسلمانان جهان هم با احمدی نژاد در این مورد هم عقیده هستند ایشان اشتباهی بزرگ در ذکر مکرر این دعا در مصا حبه های خود در خارج از کشور می کنند.

به نظر میرسد که شما آشنایی بسیار زیادی با زبان عربی دارید. آقای
احمدی نژاد قبل از هر سخنرانی یک سوره خاص تکراری از قرآن را میخواند.
میشود لطف کنید و این سوره را به فارسی ترجمه کنید. با تتشکر از شما.
IRA sucks
by keenan on Thu Sep 30, 2010 08:29 PM PDTThe USA has laws in place to protect its citizens from harm, such as robbery and murder.When our government executes someone for murdering a family of 4 we do it with a lethal injection so that they feel no pain when being killed. You guys throw rocks at them till they are dead and dance around screaming like a bunch of animals! Our people really do feel sorry for you that your country is living under a military dictatorship but your country needs to stop acting like they can do whatever they want such as building a nuclear bomb making factory despite various un sanctions. You are not as strong as you think! Our American army alone would crush your out dated army with no problem should you decide to persue a nuclear bomb. Im sorry you guys hate us for living in a prosperous country that allows us to do whatever we want as long as we dont cause harm to others. I hope one day your people can live in a country like that too,
CIA Games (سیا بازیها)
TavanaThu Sep 30, 2010 05:26 PM PDT
Our Antari has made a monkey out of the majority with his CIA Games (سیا بازیها) for the past 6 years by his endless speeches, monkish comments, antarviews, nonstop trips, and etc. That has been a big success for the power mafia in Iran. The power in IRI is not in Anari’s hands. He is only a front & a distraction tool. Talk is cheap. He has found a female counterpart here who also talks too much. Let these Self Impressed Snobs couple antarview each other forever. Ignoring them altogether is the only to make IRI panicky.
Wow!

Yes desperate
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Sep 30, 2010 03:12 PM PDTleft wing types who see IRI as their salvation. I know many Americans and also Arabs who when they hear I am Iranian they "congratulate" me. They are proud that Iran is "standing up" to the USA. Many people with good reason are very angry at the USA. They want very badly to have someone show the USA it is not god. What they are missing is that the IRI is even worse.
Reminds me of the Soviet days. I lived in LA and was listening to Pacifica radio. They were interviewing the Soviet ambassador. Then some left wing gay man called complaining about discrimination against homosexuals in the USA. He was hoping to get some sympathy. The Soviet ambassador simply said: "Homosexuality is illegal in Soviet Union". It would have been interesting the expression on the guy's face.
The reality is that yes USA is imperialistic. However neither IRI nor Soviets are gonna fix it.
The left wing types need to find some other savior. Or just stop looking for one. But in their desperation they turn to the devil.
Vildemose, I don't think that it's naivite
by Onlyiran on Thu Sep 30, 2010 02:42 PM PDTThese people are not stupid. They are, however, extremely frustrated. The IRI is a glimmer of hope in their otherwise post USSR miserable lives. They see it as the world's salvation against imperialism, capitalism, etc...

pas-e-pardeh - I agree with you
by Onlyiran on Thu Sep 30, 2010 12:52 PM PDTIt is pathetic to watch an educated modern woman excuse every imaginable crime within her own society so that she can battle the imaginary devils without.
Absolutely. It's blind ideology that motivates these people to act this way. Take a look at our own version of Sooraya...(too long of a last name) on this site, Niloufar Parsi. Read her comment on this thread:
//iranian.com/main/blog/anonymous-observer/who-anti-iranpage1
Specifically, look at these two statements in response to the blogger's points:
-A regime that murders its own citizens on the
streets and blames it on the BBC; baseless accusation. violent demonstrations tend to cause casualties. this does not make the 'regime' a mass murderer of iranians.
-A regime that rapes its own citizens in prisons; caused by individuals not the regime.
In order to justify the regime that she holds in high respect, she is using the most discredited excuse in the history of crimes against humanity: that systematic murder of innocent civilians by a military apparatus is a crime involving only a few individuals and not the who system. Of course, the same can be applied to any crime against humanity, from Hitler to Pol Pot to the Armenian genocide, to the crimes committed against the Palestinians to....
It's ideology that is blinding these people...
Ms. Sepahpour is not a spy nor a stooge
by pas-e-pardeh on Thu Sep 30, 2010 12:32 PM PDTShe is just a very disturbed person who somehow believes she knows a deeper truth about events, and is on a crusade for justice. The fact that she goes on in all her writings against world powers and Israel is a good sign of her paranoid, delusional personality. In this respect, I can see how she finds a friend in AN.
It is pathetic to watch an educated modern woman excuse every imaginable crime within her own society so that she can battle the imaginary devils without. This is how souls are lost.

Very telling
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Thu Sep 30, 2010 09:17 AM PDTAN talks about his concern for "discrimination"! Fine, how about asking him about discriminations against anyone not Shia Muslim in IRI? How about discrimination of Islam against women. How about discrimination of IRI against Kurds; Balouchis and other minorities. How about human rights of homosexuals who are murdered in Iran? Yes Ms Sepahpour did you lose your tongue!
No questions about: rape; hanging; stoning or pushing this Islamic garbage down people's throat like it or not. Just about AN's megalomania.
In fact no questions at all! This is not an interview. It is a monologue by AN. All she does is to translate. I hope to see AN behind bars for his next "interview".
Sepahpour could interview him from the adjacent cell.
Now I will answer AN's question:
AN: where do these people i.e. USA get their authority?
VPK: the same place you get yours. By the power of the gun. You and your goons have the guns in Iran so you rule. when people oppose you; they are shot; hanged; raped and the bill sent to their family. The USA has BIGGER guns and therefore rules the world. No additional reason required. Now stamp your impotent little feet; nothing will happen.
Benefits of this interview are:

by masoudA on Thu Sep 30, 2010 07:34 AM PDTAt AN's dinner party she claimed to be a "Writer" in New York !! If she is a writer, then I am Antone Chekhov!!! She also expressed her love and respect for AN claiming he has tought her how to defend Iran. I wish Mrs. Ulrick would give us the pleasure to share with us exactly how she is defending Iran these days and what parts of it she has learned from AN??
I can forgive those who are inside Iran and do things to survive - but I as one shall never forget or forgive those who live outside Iran and help to prolong IR.
