Islamic Mafia

by calais on

Basically what the pan arab  Islamic regime saying is either you vote for us and people we choose from and if you dont will you are not human and have no right.

its true that history repeats it self.  More like Mohammed the savage era. you convert to islam and if you dont you are good as dead.

شیخ اجل در مورد حکومت اسلامی می فرماید:

aynak


یکی بر سر شاخ بن می برید.
خداوند بستان نگه کرد و دید


بگفتا گر این مرد بد می‌کند

نه با من که با نفس خود می‌کند

The most absurd thing about the coup was that

by aynak on

accroding to regimes admission, 13 million plus voted for Mousavi.   Here's some facts:

1-Not a single person I know, that voted for Mousavi is planning to attend next election as things are today.

2-I know of a number of people who voted for Ahmadi-Nejad but after the coup said they regretted their vote.

3-I also know of a number of people who voted for the first time, since revolution.   None of these people say they will vote again.

This is not too different than last days of Shah.   Even though the Pan-Iranist and  couple of other parties were harmless, they were banned.   Islamic Regime is not willing to even allow believers in the system to have a voice!?!

In my recent trip to Iran, I found mostly everyone hating the regime.   The one in the south are more scared to express themselves because economically they are more dependent on their work and fear loss of job if they speak out. The "targetted subsidy" has added to this fear.

It is effectively a time bomb, and for us to talk about election is rather silly.

Lack

From a statistical point of view you could not say who was going to be the winner because of lack of proper data. The results show a high variance and depend heavily on who is reporting the poll.

See "Polling".

I disagree, Bavafa

by Sargord Pirouz on

A successfully defended analysis and 4 independent polls show that the 2009 election was legitimate. That, and a 85% voter turnout.

I advocate voting in Iran's election. Myself, I vote for the more liberal candidates.

And, there are already more liberal candidates forming up for the 2011 election. But for those of us that don't have a formal residency in the country, this election does not apply. Our next opportunity to participate comes in 2013. 

{Disregard if you are a self-exiled seditionist.)

Iranians need to speak up

by Bavafa on

Iranians need to speak up and stand up to let this regime know what they feel about IRI.  Boycutting the sham election is the best way they can take a stand.

Reformest have been one of the main reason for people to go to poll stations with a false hope.  I hope they will learn that this is only a false hope and that this system is not reformable

Good historical parallel regarding "Rastaakhiz." Big mistake, big consequence.

"next election"?

Wishful thinking I'd say...

Janati

by Simorgh5555 on

Very interesting man. He inspires me to innovate a new method of execution in his honour. Do you think we should cut off his  chunky nose first or his emaciated fingers?


Benyamin

The Islamists are no longer relevant!

by Benyamin on

This sounds like "Rastaakhiz e eslami" The end is near Jannati at least literally for you.
