Today Iran is being held ransom by an unelected oligarchy which deny the Iranian people freedom and democracy. The purpose of this blog is to be a forum for the exchange of news and opinion in order to continue the struggle against this unjust regime
Every year the Islamofascists in Iran urge the population to reject the ancient Iranian New Year and Chaharshanbe Souri celebrations. This year is no different, here's what Khamenei had to say:
"[Charshanbe Soori] "has no basis in sharia and creates a lot of harm and corruption, (which is why) it is appropriate to avoid it."
How on earth does Chaharshanbe Souri and the Iranian New Year, which celebrate the coming of Spring, the rebirth of life and so on "spread harm and corruption"? This coming from a man who ardently follows Islam, an imposed religion which has been violent towards Iranians since day 1 and has caused far more corruption than a New Year's celebration ever did. Does Khamenei really expect anyone in Iran to listen to him? Does he expect the Iranian people to abandon their traditions which they have celebrated for thousands of years (before Mohammad was even thought of), to listen to his backward and racist opinions?
I note that the "reformist" Mir Hossein Mousavi has meekly fallen behind his master Khamenei and is closely toeing the line by "urg[ing] his supporters not to use the event for anti-government rallies and not to provoke hardliners during Charshanbe Soori". However, just three days ago, Mousavi's wife the "Islamic feminist"(?) Zahra Rahnavard called on the population to use Chaharshanbe Souri to remember the victims of the repression of the last few months. So which will it be? The "reform" movement would be far less useless if it didn't contradict itself at every turn by attempting to appease both the Mullahs and the Iranian people. Make your minds up!
Is there anyone more anti-Iranian and racist towards Iranian culture than this scourge of clerics? For 31 years they have attempted to Arabise the Iranian nation. However, like I said above, this is nothing new, they have time and time again attempted to stamp out Iranian nationhood and time and time again the Iranian people have fought back in defence of their culture. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens tomorrow night.

هدیه ما به یکدیگر برای سال نو، یک جلد نهج البلاغه به نشانه هویت دینی مان، یک جلد دیوان حافظ به نشانه هویت ملی مان، و مجموعة بیانیه های رهبران جنبش سبز به نشانه هویت سبزمان خواهد بود
lol, speak for yourself, my national cultural icon is Ferdowsi. Notice how Banni Abbass reformists still refer to charshanbeh-Souri as mandaravardi "Charshanbeh aakhar saal" and true to their Ommatie form, feeling shame about kiaani heritage. Never mind national icons since they are too lost to recognize one but Nahjo-balagheh instead of Quran as a religious identity? & green leaders speech as Aidii? . Next thing you know, they,ll ask you to put Mousavi & Karoubi or khalkhali:) pics on Haft-seen. Dream on

Mousavi
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Mar 16, 2010 06:13 AM PDTIs indeed the other side of Khamenei. The Greens are just using him. They need a symbol and he is the useful idiot. Iran needs a real Iranian leader not some Islamic or Marxist jerk.

by Observing_Iran on Mon Mar 15, 2010 06:16 PM PDTI suggest you read up on the relationship between Mousavi, Khamenei and the Islamic Republic Party. I then urge you to read the many statements by Mousavi proclaiming his support for the IRI and it's constitution, i.e. the likes of Khamenei. I do not diffrentiate between IRI terrorists, hamashon az Mousavi ta Ahmadinejad ye gohan.

Your claim that Mousavi's master is Khamenei is false.

Lets see, cheating in elections and beating, torturing, raping and killing of innocent young women and men is according Sharia law, but celebration of the most beautiful of our tradition is not????
Hope of a day that we celebrate every single one of our beautiful traditions by Firing at these criminal regime.

Dear Observing Iran, that is why they call themselves the "Reform" movement. They are not yet prepared to "Convert", (Politically) that is.
They are what they are. Sort of in between, not a believer in the system any longer but not yet intellectually or emotionally equipped to convert to a political Secular.
