“Satanic symbols.” The Iranian regime makes no secret of its hatred and contempt for the U.S., even after the “peace deal” has been made — showing how hollow that deal really is.
“Iran clothing with US, British flags sparks arrests,” AFP, September 1, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Iranian police have arrested merchants for selling clothing that featured the flags of the United States and Britain, two longtime foes of the Islamic republic, local media reported Tuesday.
Garments imprinted with “Satanic symbols” were also seized from stores in Tehran, city police chief General Hossein Sajedinia was quoted by the ISNA news agency as saying.
Sajedinia said reports about the activity had been received in the past two weeks, leading to surveillance and detentions.
“This morning we took these clothes off leading distributors,” he said, noting that any stores that sell such items “will be closed.”
The move underlined the fractious attitude from some authorities regarding the United States.
Washington broke off diplomatic relations with Tehran in 1980 after students seized its embassy and took dozens of hostages during the Islamic revolution the previous year.
However, a July 14 deal between Iran and six powers led by the US over Tehran’s controversial nuclear programme was met by celebrations in the capital, particularly among youths keen to end Iran’s isolation.
Despite the warmth toward the deal on the streets, Iran’s senior leaders have said nothing will change in their approach toward the US.
The leader of the Islamic revolution, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, dubbed the United States the “Great Satan” on account of its policies and support for Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last royal ruler before the Islamic republic was founded….

What shop would sell a T-shirt that is so dirty? And why is the white strip at the bottom of the T-shirt so clean? The T-shirt is stamped “axtion shop” (bottom right of the photo), and has a neck tag saying “AXTION BRAND”.

Iran has freedom…as long as you agree with the mullahocracy. If not, they close your business, put you out of work, and you mysteriously disappear.
Shi’ite mullah all take PhDs in TAQIYYA. Why do we think an agreement with them is worth the paper it’s written on?
john spielman says
gee wiz, and to think hat the UK just reopened its embassy in Iran. How is it that the Iranian mullahs allowed SATAN (UK) a seat in Tehran?
No good deed goe unpunished by ISLAMANIACS

Wow, the Persians sure have leveled some harsh criticisms lately. This is probably why then future President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad felt it necessary to kidnap and imprison a whole embassy staff back in ’79. It wasn’t hate, it was satanism. I look forward to what the Supreme Leader will have to say about the Holy Prophet’s black flag when he gets to that point in his symbology review. Why black? Why used when making unprovoked attacks? Why was the black flag left planted in the sand and flapping in the wind as prepubescent girls were raped?
I longingly look back to the good old times when Black Flag was known as a roach spray. Now it’s a flag of the religion of war as it expands across the globe: the black flag, the one all non-Moslems must fear.

The Islamic revolution gave this theocratic idiocracy its current flag with a symbolic scripted “Allah” in the center.
Now that is quite a Satanic symbol.

Silly merchants, don’t they know the Iranian ways? American and British flags are for burning, not wearing…

Angemon, Silly merchants, don’t they know the Iranian ways? American and British flags are for burning, not wearing…
Maybe that is the “breath of fresh air” they are talking about?

@ Angemon:
“Silly merchants, don’t they know the Iranian ways?

Or burn while wearing?

Readers in the US might be surprised to hear that in certain areas of the UK (not necessarily ‘islamic’ ones, surprisingly) the public flying of the Union Jack or English St. George Flag from private houses has been known to be banned because ‘it might upset the ethnic minorities’. At least the ‘enlightened’ persons who instigated the bans didn’t refer to said flags as ‘Satanic’ – at least, not as far as I know.
citycat says
Yeah, that’s right, about a year or so ago, they were selling them in stores, big ones and small ones. They suddenly stopped selling the big ones, and the small ones were for cars, and they were for only while the car was moving, so the store said.
I’m tempted to put one in the window to see the legal reaction, but there are more muslims now than then outside my window, which is likely to be smashed maybe.
So it’d have to be the town square, but then it’s all under camera.

Being alive upsets ethnic minorities.

Iran: U.S., British flags “Satanic symbols”
…………………………
Worst of all, it now looks as though Obama has enough support in the Senate that he will be able to ram through his suicidal Iran deal:
“Obama Secures 34 Senators’ Support for Iran Nuclear Deal”
http://www.wsj.com/articles/obama-secures-34-senate-democrats-support-for-iran-nuclear-deal-1441203473
So we’ll be seeing more naked enmity for the Islamic Republic of Iran–and i doubt all of it will be merely symbolic…

My superior advice to Iran is this:
For Iran’s Moslems to not bother buying a British nor USA flag.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
Baucent says
I don’t know what the objection to the “stars and stripes” is but for the British Union flag the objection is that it is a amalgamation of the hated Cross symbol, the sign of Christianity. Muslims of course deny that Jesus died on the cross, so the cross makes their blood boil. This is an issue that won’t go away. Notice how many countries in Europe have a flag with a Cross on it. All symbols of the nations Christian heritage. Expect to see Islamists campaigning for flag changes in many countries, flags being removed from schools and hospitals, it already occurring. Sweden will probably be the first country to remove the white cross from their flag, all in the name of community cohesion. If they do I would suggest they replace it with an image of a burning Viking funeral boat, symbolizing the end of their culture.
