UPDATE: Jihad Watch reader John tells me this photo dates from 1981. If so, my apologies, but of course little has changed in the attitudes of the Islamic regime in Iran since then. If anyone has more details about this photo, please let me know.

Shin splints just for a start?
Oh,
and where's Saddam Hussein when you need him?
That's nasty (the photo, I mean). But they're just goose-stepping to their peaceful inner jihad, right?
You know that old saying "Mad as a Hatter" - I think because certain chemicals used in the 19th century hat-making process were poisonous?
Anyway, here's that old saying updated for the 21st century: "Insane as an Iranian cleric."
Are they really goose-stepping?
Shit, these asswipes can't even march in step. How do they expect to rule the world if they can't march in step? They can't even master "Evil Empire 101" - everyone marches in step!
"Are they really goose-stepping?"

From my dictionary:
"goose step: a marching step in which the leg is swung high with straight, stiff knee"
The Nazis did it to perfection. (sarc)
LMAO...
Is it just me, or can anyone else hear "Seventy-six Trombones", when they look at this picture?
Do these guys really think they're scary?
Can't we have a counter demonstration here where the Iranian flag gets burned?
To repeat the point I made to Traeh the other day, something like this would be a perfect pretext to bomb them while they're at it.
P.S.
I hope some of our regular detractors and trolls take note of this pic, and remember it, when they call us Nazis!
Must be hard to goose-step in a man dress.
Do any of those inbred morons over there actually know how many stars and stripes the American flag has?
JLP
Looks like the folks pictured in the picture are trying out for the new musical, "Jihad, The Musical", for dancing/acting roles in the musical.
Is it just me, or can anyone else hear "Seventy-six Trombones"
No... remember music is banned in the Islamic Republic..
You're definitely watching '76(or more) Dumb Drones', though ;)
It's the Guardian Council Glee Club's production of A Chorus Line.
Or it was, until they remembered Khomeini's admonition that there is no fun, or for that matter, glee, in Islam.
Muslim clerics are emulating Nazi German march steps in a statement of political power and aggression.
But don't worry, these Muslim clerics, who have studied the words of the Qur'an and the events in Mohammad's life chronicled in the hadiths for their entire lives, do not understand what the Qur'an and the hadiths teach. They need to defer to such noted Qur'anic scholars as George W. Bush and Condoleeza Rice and Jimmy Carter and James Baker, who know that the true message of Islam is Peace, Peace, and more Peace.
You can't fool me. This is really a photo of a "gay pride" parade in San Francisco -- they're all in drag.
No, no, no, no - you guys have this all wrong.
This is Tehran's first ever Gay Parade. The guy in the pale blue outfit in the middle - no, not that one; the one with the beard! - has just broken into a rendition of The Village People's YMCA, and the rest of the guys are joining in and high-stepping to the rythym.
Want proof? Take a look at the right hand side of the photo, and you'll a flambouyant young man wearing a peaked cap and uniform shirt - he's obviously come dressed as the "cop" character in the quintet. Shame all the other paraders turned up dressed as Islamic clerics.
Americanophobes!
Wafa Sultan Downunder (secretly)
Warning to West on 'evil of Islam'
HE West was still underestimating the evil of Islam, an influential Muslim thinker has warned, insisting that Australia and the US have been duped into believing there is a difference between the religion's moderate and radical interpretations.
On a two-week "under the radar" visit to Australia, Syrian-born Wafa Sultan secretly met both sides of federal politics and Jewish community leaders, warning them that all Muslims needed to be closely monitored in the West.
In an interview with The Australian, Dr Sultan -- who shot to recognition last year following an interview on al-Jazeera television in which she attacked Islam and the prophet Mohammed -- said Muslims were "brainwashed" from an early age to believe Western values were evil and that the world would one day come under the control of Sharia law.

Lol, that's what I thought, seeing this photo, except I was hearing the music to "Springtime for Hitler and Germany".
"Springtime for Mahdi and Iran"
CHORUS:
Iran was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new Mahdi to restore
Its former glory
Where, oh, where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
LEAD TENOR CLERIC:
And now it's...
Springtime for Mahdi and Iran
Persia is happy and gay!
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
Springtime for Mahdi and Iran
Iran's a fine land once more!
Springtime for Mahdi and Iran
Watch out, World
We're going on tour!
Springtime for Mahdi and Iran...
Cleric "MEL":
Don't be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Shi'ite party!
Is there an Iranian equivalent of the "Horst Wessel"? And at what point will those who make their policy prescriptions for Iran based, too often, not on what is good for Infidels but on what, from the viewpoint of an Iranian nationalist who has quite a different goal (just the way those secular westernized Shi'as in exile had quite a different goal -- getting rid of Saddam Hussein and obtaining power for the Shi'a, and perhaps in some cases for themselves --than did the American policymakers who were so taken with, and taken in by, the assorted Chalabis of the age.
Watch out for the policy pontificator enjoying his think-tank sinecure, and having, as he thinks, great, even possibly unique, insight into what makes sense in Iran because, you understand, Iranians in exile come to him and tell him the unvarnished truth, and so he thinks he knows -- but what he doesn't know is the capacity for self-delusion of those Iranian "patriots" ("Iran is not like those Arab tribes-with-flags, Iran is a real country, with a real history, and nothing must be done to damage it while attempting to damage the regime"), as to the teeter-totteringness of the regime (it isn't nearly as on the edge as is presented, and the opposition of the masses -- not the unrepresentative thinking class -- is not to Islam but to corruption), and the insistence that the Americans must not, under any conditions, attack the nuclear project because, these plausible smilers insist, "nothing would so strengthen te regime as attacking the nuclear facilities; nothing would "set back" the cause of the "reformers" and "strengthen the regime" more. This is plausible, but plausible nonsense.
One thing must be made clear. No more Muslim states must be allowed to get their hands on nuclear weaopns. It doesn't matter if the regime in question is one that might follow upon the collapse of the current Islamic Republic of Iran. For as Khomeini followed the Shah, so another Khomeini-ish figure might follow upon a regime ruled, in the best case, by the Shah's son. Islam is still there, and until Islam itself is discredited -- make fashionable Zoroastrianism, make acute the criticisms of the mullahs, so it goes beyond their corruption to their trogolodytic beliefs, attempt to inculcate in Iranian minds the notion -- which happens to be correct -- of Islam as a vehicle of Arab linguistic and cultural and now political imperialism, imposed on the superior Persians by desert Arabs, and resisted by all those, including Firdowsi and other Persian poets, who recognized, implicitly or explicitly, the true Arab imperialism that came with, that was part of, Islam.
But policymakers dealing with Iran must be single-mindedly focussed on several things:
1) Preventing Muslim states, whatever their regimes or stated intentions, from acquiring major weaponry, or WMD
2) Preventing Muslim states, whatever their regimes or stated attitudes, from being able to deliver such weaponry to targets, to work to deprive them of the ability to distribute such weapons to fellow Muslims, whether states or groups, and ideally, to undermine their ability to use such weapons or even to forciby re-possess or destroy them
It's hardly an impossible task, as long as the siren-song of those "Iranian nationalists" who have their own goals -- to get rid of the present regime and, possibly, themselves to serve in a replacement government, but without any weakening the Iranian state, and its dominance over the many non-Persians -- Baluchis, Arabs, Kurds, Azeris -- who constitute 50% of the population of present-day Iran.
Just as the goals of the Iraqi Shi'a in exile were thoughtlessly embraced by the Bush Administration, which now, in part, seems now, in Iraq, to be unduly solicitious of the Sunnis, or rather of the views of the Sunni states, our "allies," such as Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, who offer at times nearly hysterical warnings, for the endlessly-naive Americans, about the "Shi'a crescent" -- warnings which they hope will keep the Americans in Iraq to protect the Sunnis and prevent the permanent Shi'a takeover of the central government, but that they do not mean should allow for an American attack on Iran's nuclear facilities becuase that would be not at all be akin to the sitatuion within Iraq.
Within Iraq, it would be the Americans helping the good Muslims, the Sunnis, against the bad ones, the Shi'a. But if the Americans attack Iran, that woudl be a case of bad Infidels attacking Muslims, even if those Muslims happen to be Shi'a and Persian to boot. That would never do. Besides, it might set an unpleasant precedent. That is what Mubarak and King Abdullah the Greater and King Abdullah the Lesser are thinking.
What, if anything, are those who make policy in this Administration thinking?
Anything?
Nothing?
It's our own fault, it's because of our foreign policy (aka supporting Israel and breathing oxygen.)
/sarcasm
Went to the site where this was posted originally, and in the comments, some one wrote in that this was a picture from 1981. Maybe some self promoting propaganda from the islamists, they can't think of anything new, so they recycle some old pictures?
Damn… what a perfect moment we missed to swoop in with AC-130 gunships and mop up these fascists!
Another lost opportunity…. we will one day count them all and weep if stand a side and do nothing..
Their Uncle Adolf is pleased. Now when will we have these idiots join him for the family reunion in hell?
I'd love to visit Iran in one of these.. accompanied by a squadron of F-16s.. :-)

Anyone remember a little movie with Hans Conreid from 1953 called "The 5000 fingers of Dr. T"? This picture reminds me of the best song in the film...
"And we're going, going, going in our do-de-do duds!"
When is the US going to start to degrade Iranian (and Saudi) weaponry and economy ?
The road to victory is through Tehran and Riyadh,
No troops, just technical strategic and continuous strikes -a vessel here, a facility there.
And, as ever, the piece de resistance, - dead jihadis wherever possible.
Goose-stepping is much more intimidating when Europeans to it. These guys look like they’re headed to the buffet.
Have you seen the article at Front Page Magazine regarding the Islamist Day parade?
I e-mailed the Governor with my concerns. Please do the same. It doesn't matter if you live there or not.
JBS
RE:
Islamist parade, I meant to say Mayor, not Gov.
They're trying to insult America but they can't even get the flag right. Shows their stupidity.
Laugh at their idiocy.
Whoever made this flag never saw the real one. The blue is too light, the stars appear in rows of five. Whatever they're stepping on, it's not the American flag. Surely they could have gone to the Chinese for a genuine American flag. Why didn't they?
Must be an ancient pic, since I've seen those guys photoshopped marching under the Arc de Triomphe for the longest time.
What, if anything, are those who make policy in this Administration thinking?
They tell us every day - Islam is a religion of peace and the Iraqi people are our friends and want their own democracy. The Saudis, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, are our friends and want only to live in peace. Likewise the Iranian people. They too are really pro-Western victims of an Islamic theocracy, crying out to the world for someone to rescue(!) them from the mullahs.
As necessary as the goal of preventing their acquisition of WMD is, how do we do that when Russia and China are actively aiding and abetting the Iranian nuclear program? Russia talks a good game by offering to recycle fuel, but what are they doing to stop this program in its tracks? China and Russia are teaming up as they did before 1959 (or was it 1960?). Two nuclear states with the desire to limit American influence in the region are hell-bent on supporting despots and Stalinist governments. How do we prevent Iran (or Egypt or Syria...) from acquiring WMD when Russia and China will simply hand it over in the name of capitalism?
Happy days are here again
It is obvious that these men are cancan dancers from
Islams only authorised dancing club. The Iranian Clerics Cancan Association has a large membership of
Iranian clerics and high muslim officials. Beasty Boy Ah-mad-jinn-ibad, is an active member and can cancan with the best of them. Cancaning has the approval of Mohammad who said, "can*t dance, and it*s too wet to plow", "but Allah approves of cancaning." So Mohammad formed the first cancaning club. Ali, Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and others must have been quite a sight, arms linked in a chorus line doing cancan high kicks. As you can see by the photo the Cancan club is still in existence. The only difference was that the original guys could kick higher, because they were warriors, and in better shape than those in the photo, who have never done an honest days work in their lives...
Another example of how Islam is so unoriginal, uncreative, and well, just poor at even copying something that originated in the West. At least the Nazis and the SS had some style and elan with those black uniforms and all were in step and in shape.
Un:dhimmi,
LOL That was a good one!
On second thought, looking at the mannerisms of the cleric in the middle of the front row, and considering it was 1981, maybe it was Tehran's first and only "jazz funeral" (for human rights in Iran, of course).
Yeah, difficult to tell if its 1981, 2001 or 701.
Looks like they have gotten alot of money since then!
....looks like the "march of the monkeys" from the Wizard of Oz...
ooo eeee ooo,......
No appologies needed Robert. It's not your fault or anyone elses (but muslims and islams)that we can't tell the difference in 20 years "of advancement" when it comes to Islam and muslims.
I love to see photos like these in the way that we know what consumes thier every thoughts.They hate and despise and this causes them to kill themselves.They want nothing more than thier children to kill themselves in acts of murder.
I find it quite funny in how they liken us to Hitler and nazis when the proof of who really plays that part is more obvious in the houses of Islam.
All the above just proves how pathetic Islam is how weak it is and how much it has to offer.It has brought nothing but evil and inhumane.
Everyday they have to attempt a show of power in some fashion if not to be seen as a threat to it's enemies (the world)then to show to thier people the power that consumes them.
It's all pathetic and childish.
national palestinian radio just had a show promoting "persia" and its "high culture".
Good grief they have these really soft-voiced smarmy liEberals doing these softball shows and interviews..
liEberals "interviewing" liEberals..
And the jihad goes on.. unreported...
Darn! I really thought there would be a special appearance by Rage Boy in this photo. Alas, he was not even born yet.
Someone in the Paper Industry could corner the Toilet Paper and Paper Towel market if they made a few adjustments in how the products are Marketed. Offering broader product selections provides more choises for the Consumer.
These products have been offered in different colors, but not many and appears to suffer from Consumers lack of intrest. The Idea must have seemed right at the time, only its application was off.
Now, say, Flags of some of our favorite Countries being embossed on these products would make a dramatic change in their appeal.
An assorted six pack of Toilet Paper for the wipe of the Week?
Endless opportunities for use in the Home.
Collect all the Flags. Even specialize their use.
Clean up Oily spills in the Kitchen withrbant Saudi Paper Towels.
Blow your Nose with the Syrian Tissues.
Clean your sticky BBQ fingers with Hesbollah Handi Wipes,
The Thousand and one uses for these products offers endless marketing opportunities and product diversication.
I would love a case of Iranian Toilet paper. I feel a bad case of the runs comming on.
I hope a stiff wind does not blow their skirts up. That would be nasty.
These guys look like they’re headed to the buffet.

Or coming from it. Most of them look pretty well-fed. Yet it's Americans who are criticized for being overweight.
It's just those puffy gowns that make em look fat. Their butts look big in those moo-moos also.
1981? - Plus ca change, le plus c'est la meme chose. errr an order of freedom fries, please.
Something about the photo reminds me of Gilbert and Sullivan. I guess it's the Arabian Nights look of plump bearded men in turbans that suggests comic opera. "March of the Mullahs"...?
The Iranians have obviously been spending wisely, while we have neglected our duties and left ourselves open to attack. Personally I could see this coming.
You see the very real problem is one of money. It seems that the British Ministry of Silly Walks is no longer getting the kind of support it needs. You see there's Defence, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, Silly Walks ... they're all supposed to get the same. But last year, the Government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on National Defence! Now we get £348,000,000 a year, which is supposed to be spent on all our available products.
We have been cutting our budget and wasting time with half aerials while they are going straight for a heavily funded goose step. We are doomed.
I'm reminded of Monty Python's "Ministry of funny Walks" skit.....

What do these guys do for a living anyway? Just sit around issuing fatwas, while the rest us slog through our jobs. What a waste...if they would only use their brains for the betterment of humanity. All they do is contribute to global warming!
Ummm, Robert,
Don't apologize for a damned thing.
They haven't changed in almost 1,400 years, so it's highly doubtful they've changed in 27...the message, then or now, is still the same:
"Death too all who oppose us!"
The only thing changed in all this time was how the country's named was changed from persia to "iran" (meaning-"land of the aryans") in 1941 to appease the newest inspiration to them: adolph hitler, whose teachings and methodologies still hold sway there to this day. Just recall the Islamic Mein Kampf.

I feel bad, I wasn't trying to point out a mistake, just reporting on a comment I had found. I would be the last to try to correct Mr. Spencer, who has provided so much information to me.
Aren't Extremist Muslims such hypocritics. They get offended when something is done to their religious symbols, yet They are doing something that boils me like desecrating American Flag. They burn our flag and desecrate my Flag. I am offended by such act like that above in the article. Yet You don't see Americans mass demonstrating and advocating death to all Muslims, because they are desecrating American Flag. It just points out amount of tolerance. Western people are more tolerant, and extreme Muslims aren't tolerant of anything.
The Muslims and the Nazis
Isn't this pic 25 years old? Or is it a similar one I'm thinking of. Even if it is that old the mindset is precisely the same.
I’d love to go to Tehran. It looks so exciting and comical. Think about it, you have mad heavily armed women in bags abseiling down tall buildings and hiding behind car doors.
Over the road dozens of fat men in dresses are goose stepping in formation. You couldn’t get that scene on any comedy.
Most of the local populace is as high as a kite and will kill if the price of petrol goes up, yet the plastic surgeons are doing a booming trade.
Best of all if you visit you get a free suit and an I Pod.
Come on Easy Jet, £39 fares to Tehran.
Once a goose-stepper, always a goose-stepper!
They are doing something that boils me like desecrating American Flag.
lee,
It's a bad imitation. What they are stepping on is not an American flag. Check out the stars.
The mullahs are stepping on bad Islamic art. They couldn't even look at a picture of the flag before creating this fake.
I've seen the video, and they are actually all walking backwards.
Toward 622 A.D.
They move much faster that way.
And who said there is nothing funny in Islam?
It's called the Death-Cult-Skip.
Looks more like the unskinny bop. Nice to see them holding each other's hands, though. Does anyone know if they all remembered to wear their white underwear?
The only thing more laughable and pathetic coming from Iran will be the next statement coming from their monkey in chief, regardless of the topic.
This is the chorus line to the new Mel Brooks movie "Ayatollah you no dance witha da girls."
I question the Photo because the shadows don't matched some of the background buildings.
While some marchers have long shadows , other have almost no shadow and the backdrop shadows appear to be from the sun having a higher arc that creates the dark spot under the building overhang which should be lit up if the sun was low enough to create long shadows on the marchers.
I remember a bogus Roswell photo that had the same shadow problem , the mountains in the backdrop showed a low sun yet the test-disk for the Dummies had a shadow directly under it as if was high noon .
ala-sux-
Islam is the Area 51 of "religions".
Imagine if all their goose-stepping and villifying energy was directed toward into something useful.
Islam: the spiritual form of anti-matter.
