EGYPT

Azadeh

You state '...movement has clear goals, those of individual freedoms, democracy and the rule of law.'  Are you claiming that the current regime ignores its own laws?  Also, 'individual freedom' is an abstract and hard to define entity.  Does an individual have the right to walk around butt naked or do whatever one wants in public as part of that 'individual freedom?'   If not, then one's freedom is limited by what someone else may dictate.  Democracy has started to sound real nonsensical as Pakistan and Iran are both examples of 'democratic' muslim nations.  Perhaps when you state 'democracy' you mean our version of a pluralistic regimes. As you surely know such regimes are NOT possible in muslim majority nations.

Stupid 'Researcher!'

Passive, silent lambs are stupid. This movement has clear goals, those of individual freedoms, democracy and the rule of law.  BTW, it was the Iranian men who screwed up the Revolution, not the Iranian women who were the first to oppose the Islamists on March 8, 1979.

Cheers,

Azadeh 

women demonstrators in Egypt are Zionists

Since I don't see any messages here from either Sargord Pirouz or Mehdi ; mola Nasredeen;Niloufar Parsi and other supporters and apologists and condoners of the theocratic Islamist regime of terror in Iran, Please allow me to guess what they would commented re women demonstrators in Egypt.

The women demonstrators in Egypt are Zionists and spies. Some are Bahaies and commununist American spies.

Stupid Women

Just like Iran, women will probably regret it most when all is said and done.

How can a "movement" with absolutely no clear goal, path, leader or strategy succeed in anything other than making things worse? "Freedom" "democracy" - yeah, like if Mubarak leaves these will magically become the order of the day. How stupid these "revolutionaries" are!

I Just noticed that during

I Just noticed that during this entire mesmerizing unfolding, there has not been one chant or one sign, saying "Death to America" Or "Death to Israel", and Not even "Death to Mubark"..

The Egyptian are indeed much more civilized than us Iranians.

The Green "revolution" failed

The Baseej decisively defeated the CIA-backed green mufsideen and mohareboon . They fought them in the streets, in the dormitories and in the hills.It was violent but democracy was preserved.

The Egyptians are now revolting against Mubarak so they can join Iranians against the agents of "American Islam".

The hell with Baseej pigs and Pasdar Pimps!

Bravo Egypt! Egypt is free! The Egyptian military has stood up for the people of their nation and what did the fucking Pasdar Pimps and Baseej Bastards do to their people? They murdered them, they tortured them, they raped them and they steal from them. What a fucking disgrace those shits are! Shame on them! The Pasdar Pimps and the Baseej Bastards could only take on defenseless people. Lets see what they will do when Iranians take up arms. Lets see what those jack asses will do. A big uprising is coming, it is only a matter of time. Rememeber, the IRGC who everyone is in awe of couldn't do jack shit against Saddam's second class army. Hopefully the regular Iranian army will step up to the challenge and throw the Pasdar PIMPS, Basseej Bastards and their false mullah masters into the khaleej so the sharks could eat them and then shit them out. So in the end as in the beginning, they are shit. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Hey get this, Ahmadinejad is short, dark and ugly.

The Stock Market has risen during the Egypt protests!

The economic situation seems to be improving in the United States!

David Camerun's (British PM) visit at the NHS seems to have had an effect!

Will this woman ever accept an Islamic State?

Monda: LOL! Hopefully these uprisings will prompt the Iranian women to take to the streets as well.

I declare Egypt-Envy!

THANKS Azedeh Aziz for sharing these powerful images. I wonder if Iranians can be at least partially "there" again? One can only Hope.

I would like  a separation-of-religion and State clause in the new Egyptian Constitution so their revolution is not hijacked by the minority Islamist a couple of years after the revolution of 1979.

With this history in mind, Egyptian democrats must not be fooled by the radical Islamists of the Muslim Brotherhood. If and when Mubarak falls, they simply cannot allow the most radical and brutal forces to win in the ensuing chaos. If these forces are allowed to claim power using the rhetoric of democracy, Egyptians will find themselves decades from now needing another uprising, which is precisely the current situation of the Iranian people.

Very Inspiring brave women

Azadeh Thanks for the inspiring photos. This proves those claims that women are not present in their struggle are wrong.  It would have been nice though if you could have included a picture of Mubarak that showed "Made in USA with Expiration date". Side note, while we make basic necessities of life here with certain life span to make sure the pipeline is not dry such as lamps or cars; surprisingly some molded dictators have proved to pass their expiration date such as Iran's late king or the Egypt’s ruler

Looking like 1979, 2010 in

Looking like 1979, 2010 in Iran.

Let hope they don't end up with something worse than Mubarak.

Look for the same thing in Iran either spring or summer.  Gas prices are driving everyone crazy right now.  Mass inflation is possilble.  

I think people were paying 30-40 cents a gallon.  Prices may jump up to $2 a gallon this summer.

This is great for the Egyptian People

I just hope that it does not turn around and bites them in the arse like it did the Iranians. Muslim Brotherhood and the mullahs in Iran are salivating over the potential prospects.

Like the saying goes: Be careful what you ask for, you might get it.

آزاده جان

سلام فراوان به خدمت دوستان عزیز ...

ساعت در پاریس ۱۷.۵۰ عصر است.

چند لحظه پیش شاهد غروب زیبایی در قاهره به وسیله دوربین مستقیم الجزیره از میدان تحریر بودیم.این غروب،رنگی‌ از پیروزی و آزادی است..مصر به زودی پیروز خواهد شد.

-صدای سرود‌های ملی‌ و قبیله‌ یی را میتوان از میدان شنید ،دیگر جا نیست و با اینکه به زودی شب خواهد شد اما مردم جایی‌ نمی‌روند و در دسته‌های چند نفری میخوانند و شعار میدهند. پرچم مصر در دستان مردان و زنان مصری در اهتزاز است.همه میخوانند و همه میخواهند که مبارک قبل از روز جمعه مصر را ترک و با قدرت دیکتاتوری سی‌ ساله خداحافظی کند... مصریان روز جمعه را جمعه الوداع نامیده اند.

-مبارک هنوز در مصر است و تلویزیونهای احمق آمریکائی و انگلیسی جز شایعه پراکنی..بویی از خبر گذاری نبرده اند.. چند لحظه پیش شاهد دیدن آخرین تصاویر مبارک و امر سلیمان از تلویزیون مصر بوده ایم،در آن تصاویر گفته شد که مبارک هنوز در کاخ است و مسائل روز را برسی‌ می‌کند.

-جوانان سوریه نیز در توییتر و فیسبوک مشغول قرار گذاری برای یک سری راهپیمایی در دمشق هستند،خبر دیگری ندیدم !

-تا الان انقلاب مردمی مصر نزدیک به ۳۰۰ شهید (جاودان) داده است.

-مبارک دوباره پیام داده است که مایل است با تمام احزاب صحبت کند،جواب منفی‌ است،با شعور مردم بازی نمی‌شود.

-خبر جالب دیگر این بود که شاه اردن نیز به تکاپو افتاده است و نخست وزیر دیگری منصوب کرده است، این اعراب که تا به حال منفعل بودند،حال بیدار شده اند.

-اخوان المسلمین خواستار این هستند که فارق السلطان،رئیس قوه قضایی فعلا به جای مبارک باشد، محمود غزالی‌ رهبر فعلی‌ اخوان المسلمین پیشنهاد مبارک را رد کرد.

-شعار‌ها بسیار مردمی و ملی‌ هستند و همه یک پارچه..دست در دست هم دارند،اصرار می‌کنم.. پیروزی قطعی‌ است.

 اگر حادثه یی خاص پیش نیاید،به همراه یک گروه تلویزیونی به مصر سفر خواهم کرد....احتملاً شنبه ! ... باید صبر کرد.

زنده باد ایران ما ، مرگ و نفرین بر مستبدین اسلامیون.

Thanks Vildemose and Red wine for the up to hour report

This indeed is a very exciting time for middle east and for all freedom loving people. Dictatorship and tyranny can not last for ever and it has been long enough in Egypt and it is way too long in Iran. Lets hope this will not stop in Egypt and other regimes in ME fall.

Mehrdad

Very similar to Iran uprising 2 yrs ago

Dictators everywhere act the same manner for their survival. It doesnt matter it's in Iran or Egypt.
