Reza Pahlavi and Maryam Rajavi have so much in common. Here are only a few of them:
Both have Big egos
Both make Big claims
Both don't like each other
Both have Little public support in Iran
Both want a permanent rule of a group or family
Both are out of touch with realities of Iran today
Both often had their supporters show up with their pictures and signs in the rallies and caused division or lack of participation among Iranian abroad
Both opposed voting and now want a new election!
Both had nothing whatsoever to do with what happened in Iran before and post election
Both are Opportunists who are taking advantage of the current unfortunate situation in Iran for own gains
Both indirectly help regime label the struggles of the people
Both cause a common public reaction to their statements, press releases, interviews and leadership claims:
Fell free to add your own!

by IRANdokht on Mon Jun 29, 2009 07:56 AM PDTMKO members and supporters can't tolerate me. I am used to the bullying.
Take care

by Parham on Mon Jun 29, 2009 07:46 AM PDTNow she was bullied. Don't you worry now, in a democratic society, your place will be alongside MKO and RP, where you belong (although I consider RP less of an evil than closet IR supporters). You won't lose anything, so don't start flying off the handle already. Good enough, or would you like more guarantees?
I agree with JR and Parham
by IRANdokht on Mon Jun 29, 2009 07:07 AM PDTThese people (RP and MKO)are a part of the Iranian society and have every right to say and do what they want in a democracy. JR and Parham are right you should practice thinking democratically, besides they can't be as dangerous to Iran as a few of the members of this site who do not feel bullied and speak their minds. Now THEY are the ones who you should blog about and ridicule! The true and most dangerous elements working against Iran's best interest!
bichareh Maryam Rajavi and RP are not going to hurt anyone... the real enemy is a certain group of iraniandotcome members who should be shut up at all cost and named in every comment under every blog. Now that's democracy! then we can claim we are not andar khameh oon koocheh anymore.

They are both schitzoid
by Alborzi (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 06:42 AM PDTSchizophrenic people sometime feel they are the real people, real Jesus Christ or the guy who killed John Lennon, some times Louis XV .... . Anyway these idiots never got elected by anyone, yet they don't even smile when they call themselves king and president.
Mr. David ET Attention to Your Own Writing!!
by Anonymous500 (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 06:37 AM PDTMr. David ET's says Reza Pahlavi and Marym Rajavi have no popular support in Iran. Yet he is of the opinion that "Both have never worked and have lived off the Iranian assets or donations." This, in fact, means that both Reza Pahalvi and Maryam Rajavi do have some pupular support in Iran to be able to live off the "...or donations." Of course, no one has ever claimed that Maryam Rajavi has stolen any Iranian assests, therefore, she must have lived-off Iranian donations.
Egro: Mr. David ET, you contradict yourself when you write these type of dated claims against at least one of the two, Maryam Rajavi, a woman who because of her close to three decades of dedication to the cause of overthrowing the IRI is at the top of the list of the anti-IRI political personalities that this regime wants to assassinate.
FYI, Maryam Rajavi's death decree has been issued in absentia and the IRI has tried among other terroristic tactics, lunch mortars at her place of residence to kill her in France.
Thus, when you write these type of comparisons, try to come up with something that is not contradictory to your main hypothesis namely, that these two have no support in Iran, they do have support in Iran, but the support is not of the same maginitude.
Your case is built on pseudo-comaprative foundations that is called Qiyas-e Ma'alfarigh. You believe that they don't have support in Iran and then give your verdict on that personal belief ignoring all other evidences to the contrary.
They are both stupid
by Anonymouss (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 06:05 AM PDTI think that to say that Maryam is worse or that MKO has no honor is dumb. Many of their followers are young. Most of RPahlavi's are senior citizen.
Reza Pahlavi and his family left Iran with BILLIONS of dollars. They will never admit it, but they also lost a lot of money when someone skimmed some $$ off the top and Reza took him to court. I think that both of them are stupid and have no right to talk about Iran. You don't live there, you don't know anything! Get a life.
These are people who would otherwise be UNEMPLOYED but have the luxury of 1. being married to a jerk (Rajavi) or 2. Being the son of a failure (pahlavi). Pick your poison and get your sings ready!
I don't get it
by Parham on Mon Jun 29, 2009 05:32 AM PDTWhat has happened to Masoud Rajavi in the meantime?
Where has he disappeared? Anyone?
By the way, I totally agree with Jahanshah Rashidian on his post. I'll even add that these people are Iranians and representing a portion of the Iranian population no matter the size. One thing I noticed during the crisis of the past few weeks is the total disregard of those claiming to be so patriotic and wanting a so-called "democratic" solution for that fact! For them, it's just them and the rest of the Iranians who don't think like them are "pashm". Sorry for the bluntness. "ma hanooz andar khame yek koocheyim" as it seems again and again...
What's the Point?
by Concerned Iranian (not verified) on Mon Jun 29, 2009 04:54 AM PDTI am not a fan of either Maryam or Reza. But what is said in this blog could be pretty much said about any other leader of an opposition. The comparison is so lame, so basic (for eaxmple, David writes: "Both make Big claims" ir
"Both don't like each other"!! Duh!!
Next time you want to make comparisons, please study the two indviduals (any two people), and then make strong comparisons. You are lowering everyone's IQ, I must say.
David!

Both have never worked and have lived off the Iranian assets or donations

با عرض معذرت اینجا احتیاج به تصحیح هست:
«so that they go to Iran the next day »
سی سال اینا نشستن پای گود و به مردم گفتن بریزین تو خیابونا و وقتی مردم خودجوش اینکار رو کردند اینها مثل مرغ کُرچ نشستن رو تخمهاشون! شوخیت گرفته؟
اینا روزی که رژیم سر نگون بشه یه هفت هشت سالی صبر میکنن مبادا خدا نکرده یه ترقه ای یه جا صدا کنه و اینا دو باره از تخم برَن!

by Majid on Sun Jun 28, 2009 11:15 PM PDTFor IRANdokht' info:
1) Where was the "fin fin", "ehm ehm", boghz & lab varchidan and napkins in Maryam's pictures? did you forget to post those pictures?
2) "......who are "ready" to "defend them at ANY cost."
WWWWWWWWWWWWHAT??????????????????????
One more
by David ET on Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:59 PM PDTThey both are expecting the people to topple the regime so that they go to Iran the next day and claim victory while Iranians cheer their return and hand in the power to them
no point for Maryam
by IRANdokht on Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:48 PM PDTFor Majid's info: //ncr-iran.org/content/view/6603/1/
one more similarity: they have a group of totally committed followers (albeit decreasing in #s) who are ready to defend them at ANY cost.

by Majid on Sun Jun 28, 2009 10:11 PM PDTهر دو القاء میکنند که وزنه ای هستند ولی هر دو تا شون هم میدونن که دروغ میگند.
هر دو آرزو میکنن که مردم ایران شب بخوابن و صبح بیدار شن و هیچ چیزی از گذشته یادشون نیاد.
هر دو آرزو میکنن که کاشکی حد اقل کشور های دست ششم و هفتم دنیا بهشون محل هاپو میگذاشتند.
و.......هر دو خواب پنبه دانه میبینند
