Iranian of the Day

FUCK ISRAEL

FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE, I WILL NOT RESPECT THIS OCCUPIER OF THE PALESTINIAN LAND.

He deserves to be thrown out of the football league.. & Germany!

How sad that Dejagah moved from Iran to Germany to play for an INTERNATIONAL football team, and wont play for his own team.Presumably, he moved for a better life in Germany, and he expects Germany to bend over backwards for him and to "understand" that he cant play for personal reasons. He should be sent on a one way ticket home to Iran. Why is it that so many muslims are leaving their home country. . . yes many muslims wind up in democratic counties as well. . . such as USA, ISRAEL. . . .

to fanatical Israelis who shoot first then ask

To the pro Israeli Jewish group. For once, ask before you retaliate. If you were a little less ignorant or perhaps less fanatical, or a bit compassionate you may have understood that his decision may have not been made in vacuum. This guy has family in Iran and he would want to go back without being hassled.

Also, look in the mirror with some courage for once, do you wonder why the English teachers union voted to allow the boycott of the Israeli institutions.

Or are you too drunk from drinking too much of your own koolaid?

Which Israel?

It's called Palestine buddy.
What he's doing is wrong. He should go there and play. Iran's government won't do anything, it's all negative media hype. Football players are not Zionist government members.
Regarding Israel, it started with "pain and suffering" and in history, nothing lasts when it starts that way. When they get some brain, the Zionists will go away and good Jewish people will live with good Palestians in peace and without guns, walls and dirty plans of expansion.

After Israel bombs the Islamic Republic

then this dickhead will change his mind to play.

Israel is pushing US to attack Iran and can't see an strong Iran in the Middle east, they think because US is backing them up they can do anythingh they want. everyone needs to tell them to back off and their behavior is not accepted. so thank you to this Iranian hero who show to the world that Israel needs to change before is accepted

Kick him out!!

What makes him think he is so special that he can decide where he will play and where he won't?

Dumb kid has no clue that he is just another poster boy for the Arabs in Tehran.

Heyf-e noon!

Ashkan-e Bee-ghayrat,
Naa salaamatee you are Persia's proud son and are supposed to reflect a positive image of the Motherland. Instead, you have chosen to export the f'n Akhoond style hatred to Europe and beyond. Why don't you grow some balls and stick with athletics.

How is Iran any more of a legitimate country than say Israel? Are you sure Iran was not built on the blood of other people? Why are you Islamist thugs who throw terms like zionist around so selective in your view of history, and standards of the world?

By your definition, no country in the world is really legitimate. Certainly, Islam will be the least legitimate ideology if we are to expand the definition to include ideologies.

Ashkan's decision....

Ashkan's decision has nothing to do with being against "Jews". It all goes back to how he feels about state of Israel and the Zionist government of Israel.

Eventually we must find ways to distingiush the issues.

IMHO, he did the right thing for himself and his family.  It's easy for us to sit here abroad and criticize the decision, but try to put yourself in his shoe!

!!!!

"Germany's main Jewish group has criticised the decision of German international footballer Ashkan Dejagah, seen here in July 2007, to refuse to play in Israel for political reasons. The Iranian-born footballer said he feared his family in Iran would be a target for reprisals if he played against Israel in an under-21 international match on 12 October.(AFP/DDP/File/David Hecker)"

I Can Not find anything in the above description that has anything to do with "He does not like Israel" or "He is supporting Mollahs" or "Israel is bad ... Arabs are good" and thats why he is not playing in Israel!!!!! baba jan mellate ghayoreh IRAN va shahid par.... in jomleh (The Iranian-born footballer said he feared his family in Iran would be a target for reprisals if he played against Israel) yani in bandeh khoda mitarseh ke to Israel bazi koneh, chon khanevadash to Iran hastand va rejim e mostazaf parasteh Iran, khanevadeh bigonahesho aziyat konand!!!!!!!!

bad ham inke mamlekatemon o darand gharat mikonand ye mosht harom zadeh, harkodomemon ye goshe donya oftadim az sadaghe sareh in MELLATEH AKHOND PARAST!!!
onvaght neshastin migin ..Israel felan...Israel bisar!!! baba bi khiyal ....az ghadim goftand.....kheiliii bil zanim dareh basaneh khodemon ro bil bezanim... DON'T YOU THINK SO!!!!????

arab's point of view???

"What is hopless is to see people Iranians still defending arab point of vue toward Israel.
It is shamefull to not to play in Israel , but I would do exacly like you and I love my persia , I am not Arab and hope long life for Israel , and for a free Iran."

so the reason why you cannot show an iota of humanity to the people of palestine is because they are arabs??
another racist scum.

People do not understand

People do not understand what you have done. Of course it is not good to shut up and do not play in Israel. But normal people understand you. I would also be afraid for my family with this cretin dictatorial regime in Iran .

Ashkan did what was best for his family...

He is not at fault. By the way, I would not do it either. He made a "political" statement and he should be respected.

Aparthiad state???

Iran's current government may be an aparthiad state, but at least Iran is a legitimate country. It was not built on the blood of other people. I'm totally against the Mollahs, but I respect this player's decision. If he does'nt like the Zionists, so be it.

"I have more Iranian than German blood in my veins. I am doing it out of respect. After all, my parents are Iranian," the 21-year-old midfielder told the Berlin daily tabloid B.Z.

Long live Iran.

I respect Ashkan's desicion

It seems his desicion was based on the fear that his family in Iran would be hurt. I personal don't think politics and sports should be mixed if Azizi can live and play in the US, why shouldn't Ashkan play in israel? Afterall hasn't worst types of massacares and oppression taken place in the US too....

Apartheid state!

Many posts congratulated this young fellow for not playing in an "apartheid state"! Very good ... my question is that this young football player comes from a "apartheid state" where discrimination against women and minorities are LAWS of nations and I don't have to tell you about atrocities that governing body does to the citizens of Iran ... Would it be OK for this person to play football with other Iranians?!

Excellent

Damet Garm Ashkan jaaaaaaan.

You have BALLS written all over you, for as long as money and land is more important than human life for the israelies, NO one should play with them.

Damet Garm

You are a great man and a hero. Never give credit to a fascist Zionists. Good man. You are a true man.

Shame On Him

Is so sad seeing another young Iranian man doing what want Akhounds !!!

Shame on him and shame on all ppl which are slaves of Islamic Dictators .

Javid Iran . 

Bravo

Bravo Ashkan for having the balls to stand up for what he believes in. most Germans are too chicken to stand up anyway

Profile of courage

He chose not to play soccer in an apartheid state.

will germany players play soccer in apartheid south africa or Myanmar?

sports and politics go hand to hand. Look it up why USA refused to take part in the 1980's olympic.
