Iranian of the Day

strange set of affairs,

when the Wizard of O becomes a national institution.

Is she educated or .......?

it's barbaric act of IR as a true representetive of Islam to  tourtur this woman.

but the sad fact is she didn't undrestand that Mosavi and the other mobs are part of this regim, her self is part of this kiling machine and the regim is truly an Islamic regim.

what ever the IR is doing are true Islamic way of dealing with their opponents,even they are kinder than ali eb-ne abutalieb.

31 years ago as an X muslem I found that all religions are bad ,but Islam is the worse.

There is no limit to stupidity & ignorance of these kind of educated person

Yes, just sit down and wait....

Until this fascist entity, the islamist regime is "reformed", so we ar told day in, day out.....

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

يك مرد؟

بنويسيد يك نامرد رذل نه "يك مرد!"

Barbaric IRI

What we do expect from these Dirt, ugly people.

One day they have to pay for it.

Bad PR

The iranian regime is doing a better job disgracing itself than any media outlet in the West could possibly dream of doing.  Of course, this is based on the assumption that they had any honor in the first place.

I feel humiliated as a result of so many things, caused by IRI.

this sentence just added to my load. Sickening.

 "Be happy, for if you

 "Be happy, for if you wanted to humiliate me, I confess that I feel my entire body is suffering with degradation."

"These are the words written by Somayeh Tohidlou on her blog after she received fifty lashes yesterday while her hands and feet were chained together."....

Reform requires the consent of the corrupt

Another pious Muslim

who is highly educated, cultured, well-read, courageous, and born in a family that believes in "Charlatan" Dr. Ali Shariati, was humiliated, if not beaten, while a part of a crowd here at IC constantly demonizes Muslims. Such courageous Muslims are at the forefront of the struggle for democracy in Iran, while the usual suspects in this website do not miss any chance to attack and demonize Muslims and Islam. See what Somayyeh's father said in his blog after his daughter was arrested:

http://ftohidloo.blogfa.com/post-68.aspx

When she realized that what is presented in the name of Islam in her town is not the same as what she had learned from her own studies and teachers, she began a constructive critique of it and expressed her views honestly in her blog, while also reading the views of others.

حکم ننگین کاملا اجرا شده / سمیه توحیدلو را یک مرد شلاق زد

تکذیب دروغ پردازی جدید رسانه های اقتدارگرا: حکم ننگین کاملا اجرا شده / سمیه توحیدلو را یک مرد شلاق زد

http://www.kaleme.com/1390/06/24/klm-73196/

یک منبع آگاه به دروغ پردازی های رسانه های اقتدارگرا واکنش نشان داد و تصریح کرد که خلاف این دروغ پردازی ها، حکم ننگین شلاق برای سمیه توحیدلو دقیقا اجرا شده و برخلاف قانون، این عمل توسط یک مامور مرد صورت گرفته است.

رجانیوز امروز ادعا کرده بود که شلاق خوردن سمیه توحیدلو «ادعای دروغ» است، خبری که به نظر می‌رسد هدفی جز مخدوش کردن واقعیت شرم‌آور این برخورد دستگاه قضایی و تحت الشعاع قرار دادن ابعاد تاسف بار این اقدام ندارد.

او تاکید کرد: برخلاف آنچه رسانه های اقتدارگرا سعی در القای آن دارند، حکم شلاق برای سمیه توحیدلو دقیقا اجرا شده و مانند همه خانم‌ها که حکم شلاق آنها را از روی لباس اجرا می‌کننند، به همین نحو اجرا شده است. از نوشته‌ی مسئولانه و متواضعانه‌ی ایشان هم که گفته‌اند اجرای شلاق در واقع «نمادین» و با هدف تحقیر بوده، نباید اینطور برداشت شود که شلاق زده نشده است. دقیقا زده شده و تنها ایشان از سر تواضع و برای اینکه هیچ اغراق و کار غیر اخلاقی انجام نشود یا دوستانش نگران نشوند، توضیح داده‌اند که زدن شلاق اینطور نبوده که بدن ایشان را زخم کند یا جای آن باقی بماند. بلکه بیشتر به قصد تحقیر بوده است.

Hi! Comments,

    I did not invent the word "Barbaric"! Anybody can use it!

It's time for regime to go where?

It's time for regime to go where?  How many more years are we going to wait for that?

Isn't a better approach to use "substitution" rather than "elimination"?

http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/substitution.html

p.s. Since all Iranians are so genius in math I thought this could be a good example.  We won't have many Iranians remaining in Iran if we go with elimination.

Guys I hope we all realize the regime has to go

and not be reformed as it is impossible.  These guys are the bottom of a pile of s%#$. Regime supporters need to wake up, this situation's unacceptable.

By go I mean Liberation.  

Though...

I liked "What has the UN special rapporteur done so far? Nothing!" very much though.

UN sounds more protective of itself than human right issues.

p.s. Yolanda: I meant the sentence from your comment:)

Barbaric? So what?

What types of activist will Somayeh be after flogging?  Will she be more determined on human rights subjects?

Definitly yes.  As long as she is "alive" and hopefully healthy she becomes more determined to do her job.

Can't we be a bit creative in our comments please?  We all know the barbaric is the more appropriate word to describe flogging, but so what?

p.s. Yolanda: I don't mean any specific person.  I used your word as an example:)  Sorry.

Rea more flogging for you.

Here read Tala Rassai's story.  Basically in Iran if you're caught doing somthing "unIslamic" and you're rich, you pay your way out.  If you don't have money you get flogged.

80s, 90s, 00s or 10s, doesn't matter!  Law of the land is the Sharia law and you won't want to be the one making headlines by being flogged.   Many won't even make it to the headlines and are just not known.

Everything is sacred

Barbaric IRR

Everyday a barbaric act shocks the world in 21 century.

These akhoonds are worse than animals in the woods. 

EA

I have no doubts that Iranian women were flogged in the 80s and possibly 90s. But I have my doubts about flogging in 2011.

PS. looks like a great movie, will dig it up.

BBC reports it as "symbolic" flogging

او ساعتی پس از آنکه خبر اجرای حکم شلاقش منتشر شد، در "گوگل ریدر" نوشت: "برای دوستانم که نگرانم شدند تنها بنویسم که اجرای حکم، نمادین بود و به شیوه و شمایلی که در خاطر داشته اند و دارند نبوده است و لذا نگرانی بابت هیچگونه درد و رد فیزیکی نداشته باشند".

یکی از نزدیکان خانم توحیدلو هم به بی بی سی گفت که او دیروز برای اجرای حکم به زندان اوین فراخوانده شد و در آنجا دست و پایش را با زنجیر بستند، اما ضربه های شلاق را به اطراف او زدند.

Rea flogging women in Iran is definitely real.

The movie My Tehran For Sale was made in Iran and was ready for release just when the 2009 election happened and as a result it never got on the screens in Iran but was shown worldwide to large audiences and found its way back to Iran again. 

In that movie they talked about few young women who were flogged.  In a country where women are stoned you think flogging is of any consequence?

The actress who played in that movie was recently arrested She is a well known and popular actress and has played in many other movies. 

Everything is sacred

Is this real ?

I mean, really real ?

She was flogged alright

Her hands and feet were chained and she was flogged by a man. Read this:

http://sahamnews.net/1390/06/91382/

So as I was getting prepared to feel her pain

now I read that hokm has been "namadeen". I hope she and other political activists are not harned; real or namadeen.

شلاق خوردن "نمادین"

در مورد صحت شلاق خوردن این هوادار میر حسین موسوی خامنه که در دوران نخست وزیریش هزاران ایرانی اعدام شدند؛  خودنویس گزارش میدهد که تردیدهایی وجود دارد  و از قرار حکم وحشیگری شلاق  "نمادین " بوده.

Her blog:

Yolanda you're right UN Special Rapporteur needs 2 say something

Shameless thugs masqueraded as "Judiciary"!  Shame, shame, shame! 

Everything is sacred

Amir Parviz -I'll tell you what's funny

What really is hilarious is Trita Parsi and NIAC who say that that supporting the MEK or imposing sanctions will stifle the 'opposition movement' in Iran. What kind of opposition movement will be abpe to reason with a regime which resorts to this barbaric treatment of another human irrespective of their gender. What kind of opposition movement is going to succeed when its leaders are under house arrest and thousands of its supporters have been silenced, tortured and raped in prison?
There ie no hope for women in Iran. There is no hope for an opposition movement. There is no hope for humanity or Iran. With their
The only solution is stealth and brute force. The Basij and Revolutionary guards together with their supporters must be killed to liberate Iran. Violnce is the ONLY solution.

And the funny thing is, she's a regime supporter!!!!!

ALL I CAN SAY IS NO HUMAN DESERVES THE TREATMENT SHE IS GETTING!  HOWEVER, SINCE IT'S GOING TO GO AHEAD WITH OR WITHOUT MY CONSENT, I PRAY THIS CHANGES HER BELIEF IN THE REGIME AND SHE DECIDES SHE WANTS A REFERENDUM FOR CHANGE, NOT MOUSAVI.

..........

Barbaric!

What has the UN special rapporteur done so far? Nothing!
