Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Iran: Protesters chant “Death to Palestine” in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar

Jun 26, 2018 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The Iranian people are fed up with the mullahs using their resources to aid jihad terrorists in other lands. They are fed up with the Islamic Republic. We can only hope that they will soon be able to rid themselves of it.

“Iran: Protesters Chant ‘Death to Palestine’ in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar,” by Adelle Nazarian, Breitbart, June 25, 2018 (thanks to Amil Imani):

Thousands of Iranians reportedly took to Tehran’s historic Grand Bazaar on Monday, forcing its shutdown in protest over the Islamic Republic’s decision to spend money on Iran’s adventurism abroad instead of helping fuel its troubled economy at home, where over 40 percent of its population is unemployed.

According to the Associated Press, the demonstrations, which appear to be an extension of nationwide protests that began on December 28 and have continued for months – came after protests forced two major shopping centers for mobile phones and electronics to close in Tehran on Sunday.

Video of Iranians chanting “We don’t want the mullahs” outside the Grand Bazaar spread over social media:

In what appears to be a stunning turn away from Iran’s generally anti-Semitic stance, which is replete with chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” – both long considered the “little Satan” and “great Satan” by the regime – Iranian protesters were chanting “Death to Palestine!”

Everyday Iranians have revolted against the regime’s decision to finance wars and its revolutionary endeavors in places like Syria, Iraq, Libya, and Lebanon, and its support for the Palestinian people instead of its own struggling population.

This month, Iranians began posting videos of themselves discarding and destroying regime-run charity donation boxes that they believed were going to Gaza to pay for lavish meals while their own people struggle to offer donations to Gaza….

According to the BBC, at one point, Iran’s anti-riot police fired tear gas into the crowd of protesters as they marched towards parliament or Majles.

Despite this, the Associated Press reported that the head of Iran’s Chamber of Guilds, Ali Fazeli, later was quoted by Iran’s state-run Tasnim News agency as saying the situation at the bazaar was “calm.”…

    This Islamic dictatorship of Iran has its origin in the deception of the Iranian people. For This Islamic regime was based in the foundation of false and empty promises. As well as lying words. After the fiendish Muslim clerics obtained total power in Iran they showed their true colors by having their Islamic state police who are called the “Revolutionary Guards truest the people on Iran in many heinously brutal and ruthless ways. As, for example, their brutal, callous misogyny against both girls and women. This statement is explained, in some detail, by the following. This tyrannical Islamic regime in Iran that so falsely and inappropriately has the word “republic” in its title. It should be made known that this called the “Iranian Revolution” turned out to be a hoax. Ayatollah Khomeini before achieving power in Iran in his lying and deceptions presented himself to the Iranian people as if he was someone who would be in power would give freedom to the people of Iran with any tyranny. The reality turned out to be just the opposite. As explained by a former Muslim as well as a man who took part in this Islamic “revolution “ ,who is now a Christian informs the reader of his book that “Prior to the Revolution no one ever imagined that other political parties would be suppressed under the rule of Ayatollah Khomeini. He had promised that all groups would have freedom to run their own campaigns after the Revolution. He even stated that governing system would be based on the decision of the people via a referendum. He never spoke of a system that would be governed by Islam. He even made clear that mullahs would not take part in any political activities, and that they would only be allowed to teach spirituality… Immediately after the Revolution, mullahs rushed into government offices to occupy the most important political l positions, making it difficult for the interim secular government to function … The mullah’s occupation of position was exactly the opposite to what the Ayatollah Khomeini had promised before the Revolution.”. [1] In other words, the insincere, disingenuous and outright lying Ayatollah Khomeini made many bogus promise he really had no intention of keeping. His lying deception worked, for he achieved great power in Iran.
    Furthermore, of the many heinously evils outcome s of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and how now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [2] This is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be. This, very much, reflects the wisdom found in POOR RICHARDS’ Almanack IN WHICH Benjamin Franklin printed “Those who are feared are also hated.”

      Wouldn’t it be nice if the Iranian people who are protesting would stop chanting “death to….” statements that simply make them appear to be yet another barbaric and uncivilised mob.
      They need to stay with messages that demand freedom, self-determination and democracy. Their slogans need to give a strong message that they know what they want – and to gain greater legitimacy in the minds of the watching world.
      Having said this, I do applaud their bravery (especially the women removing their headscarves).

      It was curious to see female Iranian supporters in the stadium during the World Cup match between Iran and Portugal, two evenings ago. Free to have to wear no hijabs, whilst in Russia, and seemingly ecstatic to be out of their country. I did feel sympathy knowing they’d have to return home, after getting knocked out.

    A former Muslim revealed an important reality when he wrote “The Islamic republic of Iran exists and operates as what every fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by sharia …” He further exposes that “What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premise; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
    Just for the sake of interest, in the book entitled HOW ISLAM PLANS TO CHANGE THE WORLD, by William Wagner on page 208 the reader is informed that “The creation of the Islamic republic in Iran has had the effect that many from that country have become disillusioned with Islam and are looking to leave.” This is a point worth pondering.

    ……………………

    Things are *definitely* getting more interesting in Iran. I *hope* this is a rejection of Islam–or at least its more hideous aspects.

    I imagine Christainblood will be along shortly, telling us again that Iranians screaming “Death to Israel!” are just resisting the “immoral” United States…

      Even more than that, gravenimage. Christianblood, if he posts here, will assert again a ludicrous defense of the number one state sponsor of terror throughout the world—Iran.

      Well, this is what happens when you proceed on the assumption that your polity of choice, in christianblood’s case, Russia, can do no wrong. Really, when has christianblood ever blamed Russia for anything, even though blame aplenty could be found, for instance the violation of every last norm of international law the way Putin “annexed” the Crimea back to Russia?

      Again can be seen that when you leave the orb of Western Civilization (and Russia is definitely not part of the West) the capacity for honest self-criticism falls off precipitously. You see it with China. You see it with the Islamic world. And you certainly see it with Russia. With sub-Saharan Africa as well. With American Indians too. And so on when you leave the West.

        Just to remind you, if it were for Iran, Hezbollah and Russia supporting the legitimate government of Syria, US and its Saudi-backed barbaric jihadists will be flying the black flag in Damascus today, mass-murdering millions of Christians and other minorities in Syria!

          I have many times pointed out Hizb’allah’s Jihad attacks, including those against Israel–but from below it appears that considers any attempt by Israel to survive as “Israeli aggression”. *Ugh*.

          Christianblood has now defended Iran’s terrible Shari’ah oppression as “resistance” to the United States, and has even defended their persecution of Christians ministering there as “spying for America”.

          And now he is for Hizb’allah destroying civilized Israel.

          He used to pose as an Anti-Jihadist here. This seems–to put it mildly–less and less plausible all the time.

          Hezbollah is a terrorist organization, christianblood. You know, many here at JW, including myself, look upon all of Islam as steeped in error and terror, yet you time and time again exculpate Shiite Islam while inveighing against Sunni Islam. Both suck, chirstianblood, and you don’t get this.

          But more important, right now Iranians by the millions are completely fed up with the Iranian Shiite regime. They want no more of it. Are you with these millions or do you actually support the current regime? Your turn.

          Christianblood: What a joke to not consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization. As far back as the 1980’s and 1990’s Hezbollah has been involved in sheer terror, for instance the 1992 bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and the 1994 bombing of a Jewish cultural center in the same city, both of which terrorist actions Hezbollah took credit for. If you go to the Wikipedia article on Hezbollah (and I’m not the biggest fan of Wikipedia) it lists one terrorist action after another by this group of Islamic zealots.

          Moreover, nations in addition to the US like the UK, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia and France officially list Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Instructive the nations that don’t: China, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria and, of course, Russia. Fine company Russia is keeping again.

          I think it ludicrous to assert that Hezbollah is not a terrorist organization. But then you function in the land of the ludicrous quite often, christianblood.

          You listed US puppets and vassal regimes that follow US orders blindly! No independent state would consider Hezbollah as terrorist organization! As I said above, Hezbollah is an indigenous Lebanese Shiite militia set up to protect Lebanese Shiites and other allies like the Christians and the Druze from US, Israeli and Saudi-backed barbaric jihadist terrorists like ISIS and Al-Qaeda! May God bless Hezbollah for protecting Christians in Lebanon and Syria from genocidal islamic jihadists supported and armed by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia! More below:

          Just Christianblood’s claim that Israel is backing ISIS is grotesque.

          And Israel is the *only* place in the Middle East where Christians are really safe and free. If Christianblood really cared about Christians., he would acknowledge this.

          And his claim that civilized nations like the UK, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia and France really have no problem with Jihad savagery, but just condemn it because they are “US puppets” is just ludicrous.

          Nonsense!
          …………………..

          Here is what Hizb’allah itself has had to say, in its 1985 manifesto: “our struggle will end only when this entity [Israel] is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no ceasefire, and no peace agreements.”

          In 1993, during the Oslo peace process, Nasrallah and several other top Hizb’allah generals came out staunchly opposed to any final peace agreement between the Israelis and Palestinians to the point that they accused Palestinian National Authority President Yasser Arafat of “blasphemy and treachery to the Muslim people”.

          In 2002 in a New Yorker article, Hizb’allah spokesman Hassan Ezzedin said:

          “The Hezbollah campaign to rid Shebaa of Israeli troops is a pretext for something larger. ‘If they go from Shebaa, we will not stop fighting them’…’our goal is to liberate the 1948 borders of Palestine,… The Jews who survive this war of liberation can go back to Germany or wherever they came from.’ He added, however, that the Jews who lived in Palestine before 1948 will be ‘allowed to live as a minority and they will be cared for by the Muslim majority.'”

          In other words, they seek to completely destroy Israel, murder most of the Jews there, and subject any survivors to dhimmitude.

          I cannot imagine that Christianblood does not know this. One can only assume that he approves. *Ugh*.

          If Hezbollah or Iran attack Israel or start open aggression against Israel they have to be condemned for this and I won’t hesitate condemning them. Also Iran is wrong to keep chanting “Death to Israel” and it has to stop. We know Israel is strong enough to defend itself if attacked by Iran or Hezbollah which, I believe it will NOT happen. In the same way, Israel should stop attacking Hezbollah, Iranian and the Syrian forces that are fighting ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Syria. Hezbollah’s leader said repeatedly over the past few years that ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other Takfiri groups that are fighting in Syria are the number one threat to the whole region, including Israel, hinting that he is ready to make security deals with Israel but Israel attacked them instead over and over again. Israel should stop being selfish and also think about the millions of Christians and other minorities who will be mercilessly massacred if ISIS and Al-Qaeda crush the Assad government in Syria! When it comes to attacks, Israel has been very aggressive in attacking pro-Assad forces that are fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda, including Hezbollah and that is very, very wrong and Israel and the US should stop this or the whole region will explode in fire and only ISIS and Al-Qaeda and others like them will benefit from this chaos and bloodshed which will continue for generations to come! Apart from the political rhetoric, Hezbollah and Iranians are very rational people ready to make security deals with Israel or with other party that is rational enough but ISIS and Al-Qaeda, Saudis are not rational as they are driven by an ideology of pure hate and evil and Israel should understand this. Israel is safe and secure so it should not trigger mass-murder of Christians and other minorities in Syria by siding with ISIS or by attacking Hezbollah and Assad forces that are fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

          OK–I guess that even Christianblood realized that open support of Jihad might not go over too well here at Jihad Watch.

          The idea that Hizb’allah has never attacked Israel is just absurd, though.

          Here are just a handful of their attacks on Israel:

          31 March 1995, a rocket attack on Nahariyya in Western Galilee kills an 18-year-old.

          April 9, 1996, A heavy rocket barrage, launched by Hezbollah upon the cities of Galilee caused the initiation of the Operation Grapes of Wrath by the IDF.

          During the 2006 Lebanon War Hezbollah fired some 4,000 rockets at Israel.

          And this is not a thing of the past. This, from last month:

          “Hezbollah says rocket attack on Israeli-occupied Golan marks ‘new phase'”

          https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-hezbollah/hezbollah-says-rocket-attack-on-israeli-occupied-golan-marks-new-phase-idUSKCN1IF28D

          More:

          We know Israel is strong enough to defend itself if attacked by Iran or Hezbollah which, I believe it will NOT happen.
          …………………………….

          It’s *already* happening. Yes, Israel may be strong enough to continue to defend against the Jihad against her–albeit with continued loss of Israeli life–but that is no thanks to those openly supporting Hizb’allah like Christianblood.

          More:

          In the same way, Israel should stop attacking Hezbollah, Iranian and the Syrian forces that are fighting ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups in Syria. Hezbollah’s leader said repeatedly over the past few years that ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other Takfiri groups that are fighting in Syria are the number one threat to the whole region, including Israel, hinting that he is ready to make security deals with Israel but Israel attacked them instead over and over again.
          …………………………….

          Where has Israel been fighting for ISIS? What rot. The only one who has ever claimed this appears to be Assad–and he has nothing to back it up.

          And note that Christianblood is now using the term “Takfiri”–the Muslim claim that some Jihadists just aren’t Islamic enough. *Very* strange language from someone who is supposed to Anti-Jihad.

          More:

          Israel should stop being selfish and also think about the millions of Christians and other minorities who will be mercilessly massacred if ISIS and Al-Qaeda crush the Assad government in Syria!
          …………………………….

          In other words, civilized Israel protecting herself against Jihad is “selfish”. Does Christianblood care what would happen to all of the Christians safe in Israel if Hizb’allah and other Jihad groups are successful in destroying her?

          More:

          When it comes to attacks, Israel has been very aggressive in attacking pro-Assad forces that are fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda, including Hezbollah and that is very, very wrong and Israel and the US should stop this or the whole region will explode in fire and only ISIS and Al-Qaeda and others like them will benefit from this chaos and bloodshed which will continue for generations to come!
          …………………………….

          It was the US that took out ISIS–as of now, the Caliphate is no more. But Christianblood continues to claim that the US and Israel are behind ISIS. This makes no sense.

          More:

          Apart from the political rhetoric, Hezbollah and Iranians are very rational people ready to make security deals with Israel or with other party that is rational enough but ISIS and Al-Qaeda, Saudis are not rational as they are driven by an ideology of pure hate and evil and Israel should understand this.
          …………………………….

          When have Iran or HIzb’allah *ever* offered to make deals with Israel?

          And Christianblood knows that the horrors of Iran and Hizb’allah go *way* beyond rhetoric, to sickening violence.

          Iran, Hizb’allah, and Saudi Arabia are all driven *by Islam*.

          More:

          Israel is safe and secure so it should not trigger mass-murder of Christians and other minorities in Syria by siding with ISIS or by attacking Hezbollah and Assad forces that are fighting ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
          …………………………….

          The idea that Israel’s being constantly attacked by Jihadists makes her “safe and secure” is grotesque. If she survives, it is due to her own efforts–and not those of Iran and Hizb’allah to destroy her.

          And no–Israel defending against Hizb’allah is not “siding with ISIS”–this is ludicrous.

          And claiming that Israel has to let Shia Muslims destroy her or else she is responsible for Muslim violence against Christians could not be more grotesque.

          Takfiris, Salafis or Wahhabis are all the same branch of major Sunni islamic sect that is based in Saudi-Arabia , Pakistan, Afghanistan, oil-rich gulf states and most of major Sunni countries in the world.

          One last thing, is that over the last two years, Israel attacked the Syrian army that is fighting ISIS and its allied militias just as the US did and that is wrong and it has to stop. Hezbollah didn’t attack Israel but Israel attacked Hezbollah and the Syrian army repeatedly, specially whenever the Syrian army is winning all over sudden Israel and the US attack them supporting ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

          Israel and the US don’t care what happens
          to millions of Christian in Syria and Lebanon as well as other minorities who will be massacred by ISIS and Al-Qaeda and you keep talking about Israel which is attacking others but you don’t care about what happens to millions of Christians and other minorities who live in Syria and Lebanon. Do you? I am on the right side Graven, but you support the strong that can defend themselves and you are also against the weak and the oppressed and you are on the side of the terrorists and their allies! Israel, USA,UK, France, Saudi Arabia, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, FSA, Qatar are all on the WRONG SIDE. Syrian army, Hezbollah, Iran supported by Russia are on the RIGHT-SIDE which is defending Christians and other minorities in Syria.

          This is absurd. Takfiris are not a branch of Sunni Islam.

          Takfir is an Islamic doctrine whereby a Muslim may be deemed essentially a Kafir and is then fair game to be killed like any Infidel.

          For instance, the Ayatollah Khomeini declared Salman Rushie Takfiri.

          The Islamic State declared many other Muslims Takfir–especially Shi’ites–and was declared Takfiri in turn by other Muslims.

          This is grimly common in Islam. I find it hard to believe you do not know this.

          More:

          One last thing, is that over the last two years, Israel attacked the Syrian army that is fighting ISIS and its allied militias just as the US did and that is wrong and it has to stop. Hezbollah didn’t attack Israel but Israel attacked Hezbollah and the Syrian army repeatedly, specially whenever the Syrian army is winning all over sudden Israel and the US attack them supporting ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
          …………………………..

          This is ridiculous. I cited Hizb’allah attacks on Israel, above.

          More:

          Israel and the US don’t care what happens
          to millions of Christian in Syria and Lebanon as well as other minorities who will be massacred by ISIS and Al-Qaeda and you keep talking about Israel which is attacking others but you don’t care about what happens to millions of Christians and other minorities who live in Syria and Lebanon. Do you?
          …………………………..

          Of course I care–I have *always* cared about the victims of Islam.

          Unlike yourself, who is fine with those victimized by Iran and Hizb’allah–even Christians.

          I do not believe that Israel should have to roll over for Jihad against herself by Hizb’allah. And I ask you again–what would happen to the Christians in Israel if she is destroyed? Look at the plight of the few remaining Christians in Gaza to get your answer.

          More:

          I am on the right side Graven, but you support the strong that can defend themselves and you are also against the weak and the oppressed and you are on the side of the terrorists and their allies! Israel, USA,UK, France, Saudi Arabia, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, FSA, Qatar are all on the WRONG SIDE.
          …………………………..

          This is insane, Supporting Jihad by Iran and Hizb’allah is not the “right side”–nor are Jihadists arrayed against little Israel “the weak”.

          And the constant claims that America–which destroyed the Caliphate–is on the side of ISIS is ludicrous.

          More:

          Syrian army, Hezbollah, Iran supported by Russia are on the RIGHT-SIDE which is defending Christians and other minorities in Syria. USA and Israel don’t care what happens to Christians, they are indeed selfish and self serving! The Lord knows I am right!
          …………………………..

          Israel is not selfish for not wanting to be destroyed by Jihadists.

          The idea that the Lord supports the horrors of Jihadists Iran and Hizb’allah is very questionable.

          I stand against *all* Jihad. Unless reply with more outrageous bs, I’m probably going to leave this here. I think you have revealed your troubling support for Jihad all too clearly already.

          Takfir is the noun of the doctrine, Takfiris are the people who follow that doctrine! Know the difference!

          I will just address one part of Christianblood’s vicious twaddle:

          BTW, You and Wellington keep talking about save (sic) and secure Israel but you never mention the 1.8 million Iraqi Christians that has completely disappeared for the past few years and why they have disappeared!
          ……………………..

          This is, of course, obviously false. I have exposed the threat to Christians in the Middle East for years here now–including those in Iraq, and have noted that while ISIS was a huge threat, that Christians in Iraq were facing genocide there even before the rise of the Islamic State.

          I have also advocated the West offering asylum to threatened Christians.

          Anyone who knows my posting history here knows this is true.

          And the idea that Jesus condemns me for exposing the plight of Christians in the region is just bizarre.

      Again, please don’t your distorted words into my mouth!

      What I said was that Hezbollah in Lebanon is an indigenous Shiite resistance militia founded to protect Lebanese Shiites from the US, Saudi and Israeli aggression as well as to resisting their jihadist proxies! If there was no Hezbolah in Lebanon, there will be neither be Shiites nor Christians nor druze in Lebanon and the black flag of the US, Israeli and Saudi-backed ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists would be flying in Beirut today!

        “Israeli aggression”, huh?

        How *dare* those filthy Infidels defend against Jihad? Bad, bad dhimmis….

        It had always been fairly obvious that Christianblood supported the Jihad against the Jews, but here he is quite explicit. *Ugh*.

        And, once again, he is claiming that ISIS was created by Israel and America–just ludicrous.

        And it was, of course, largely the US that drove ISIS out of the territory they had captured to create their Caliphate.

          STOP distorting my words please! What I said is very clear and it is that Hezbollah protects Shiites, Christian and the Druze minorities in Lebanon and Syria from the genocidal jihadists like ISIS and Al-Qaeda that are openly supported, armed and funded by the US, Saudi Arabia and Israel.

          May God bless Hezbollah for protecting Christians in Lebanon and Syria from genocidal islamic jihadists supported and armed by the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia! More below:

          Yes, I will condemn any jihad against Israel but lately what I see again and again is Israel attacking the Assad forces that are fighting the terrorists, I have seen Israel repeatedly attacking Iranian and Hezbollah forces that are supporting the Syrian government fight terrorists like ISIS, Al-Qaeda and many other terrorist groups. I have seen Israel serving as the air-force of the jihadists and supporting the jihadists giving them arms, reconnaissance info, medical assistance and other military assistance! Israel should realize when she does this, she is triggering the mass-murder of millions of Alawites, Druze and Christians who now live peacefully and are protected by the Assad government.

          Well, I was wrong–I guess Christianblood realized that his openly coming out in favor of Jihad might be a bit much, even for him.

          And no, Israel is not a Jihad air force. Just absurd.

      Wouldn’t it be nice if the Iranian people who are protesting would stop chanting “death to….” statements that simply make them appear to be yet another barbaric and uncivilised mob.
      They need to stay with messages that demand freedom, self-determination and democracy. Their slogans need to give a strong message that they know what they want – and to gain greater legitimacy in the minds of the watching world.
      Having said this, I do applaud their bravery (especially the women removing their headscarves).

    Let’s just let the Iranian people figure out their path ahead. We’ve gotten into enough trouble with the rest of the world by trying to “democratize” it. We do imperialism and revolutionizing others pretty badly (which should’ve been obvious since the end of WWII), so we’d better re-adjust and admit that history is going to happen.

    My guess is that these Iranians were sick of all the sacrifices they are called on to make on behalf of “Palestine”, and have come to recognize that “Palestine” is a cover for their own leaders’ cupidity and corruption. Maybe they don’t relish a war with the Sunni Arab countries. Maybe they don’t relish a nuclear showdown with anyone. They’ve already called down blessings on Riza Shah; now they’re poking at one of the whole Islamic world’s biggest sacred cows. Let’s wait and see.

    In the last US administration, when President Jesus was in the White House, the US gave no support to Iranian protests or actually discouraged them. I’m betting most of the Iranians don’t look at Obama as Jesus.

    • gravenimage says

      True. While the 2009 protesters may not have been perfect reformers, they certainly deserved our support. They got nothing from Obama.

        Eduardo was being sarcastic, Kepha–he was just referring to the idiots who treated Obama as a “messiah”. He was even often photographed from below and looked as though he had a halo. It was so manipulative–but I think many fell for it.

    During the Great Depression, U.S. unemployment peaked at about 25 percent. And Iran is now at 40 percent? It looks like Allah has left the house, and old Mo won’t be too far behind him.

  9. David Grisez says

    Jun 26, 2018 at 6:02 pm

    There are some problems with a revolt by the people of Iran against the Islamic government run by the Islamic clerics. One of the big problems is that for any significant change to occur there needs to be a widespread rejection of Islam in both it’s Shite and Sunni forms. This is needed because of the political government aspects of Islam. Also the religious clerics of Islam are not likely to give up their positions of power without a big fight. It would be good for the mullahs to lose their power so that a change could take place in Iran

        Ibrahim is a low IQ barbarian kafar. He cannot make a rational argument even if his life was dependent on it. He is blind, deaf and stupid because his eyes and his ears are covered by the hands of Satan. And he can’t help being stupid because he is an inbred. All Muslim Arabs are. It is a well-known fact that Arabs are stupid because they keep marrying their cousins. Saudi Arabia pilots when trained for flight take much longer time to learn it than non-Muslim people. You can google this. This is a fact. Ibrahim is only suited for dancing around the kabbeh seven times and kiss the black meteor rock, the vagina of Allat.

    Including both Iranians I’ve spoken to in cyberspace as well as at UA, it is refreshing to see a generation who is *ahem* mindful of their national and cultural heritage which does NOT in any way include Islam.

    It’s pretty impressive the risk that these Iranians take, showing their faces at protests such as this. But then again it’s becoming riskier by the month for many of us as well, especially with the fine tuning of facial recognition programs and the willingness of law enforcement agencies to lock up free thinkers, reformers and non-conformists who wish to hold their elected leadership to account for their dereliction of duty.

      Relic, every once in a while you post some music here that is new to me and which I enjoy hearing, but most of the time I don’t see how the song has any connection to the topic being discussed. How does this relate to the protests in Iran except that maybe the protesters are doing it uptown? What is the connection between Afghan Whigs and Iran? As for the song lyrics, most of the words are unintelligible but from what I can make out they concern one person telling another to stop crying so much and being such a baby, baby, baby. Is that your message to the Iranian protesters? Seems that way to me. But who knows. Perhaps you don’t even know yourself since you seem to lack some basic skills of communication. How unfortunate for you.

    “There are no jokes in islam.there is no humor in islam.There is no fun in islam”

    ayatollah khomeni

    ..which always makes me laugh and is my 2nd favorite Khomeni saying{after “I spit on those who say islam is a religion of peace” or words to that affect}

    That’s why..

    There are no pillow fights at the madrassahs.
    There are no whoopie cushions mischievously placed in a mosque.
    There are no world-famous Shi’te comedians ..although there are plenty of shite ones.
    There are no karaoke evenings with the ayatollah.

    No jokes,no humor no fun?But these are part of human nature and people should be free to express themselves however they wish;art,music,literature,Jokes,humor,fun,cartoons.

    And most certainly Iranian people,like all people everywhere,like to express themselves in song and dance and humor and jokes and fun.And satire:especially when it is cunningly disguised to fool the religious police mafia…it is a dish best served hot.Do not let “holy men” of any religion stop you from expressing yourself in art or music or humor or cartoons:that is religious tyranny.

    Now to make some… mullahs go! tawny… soup…
