Blood in Tehran

Tens of thousands march peacefully in Iran. But in the end, at least one man died a violent death.

    I will appreciate Obama doesn't meddle in our country untill the moment that it is really nesessary.
    I want my nation to get mature enough to get their freedom themself, and I really think they are capable of that.

    Richard Engel is saying the gov. of Iran is geting a grip on things, the protests are losing steam. Guns scare people, and the Basij have no problem using them. Looks like its over...

    May the God of Israel save and protect the great Iranian people from the oppression of the madmen and Mullahs who rule over them. My heart goes out to them.

    The US will be seen as meddling in Iranian affairs, giving those old bearded shmuks a reason to start killing people. Yes, we are with you, but this is YOUR country, we cannot be seen as medlers, it will only harm the movement.

    President Zardari also carries his deceased wife's pictures in his arm pits every where he goes and hangs them on the walls and side tables at the press conferences and God know what he does them after wards? This disease is rampant with the PPP's politicians and affecting their followers as well.
    I honestly believe that this massive protest against Ahmedinnejad and not in favour of Hussein Mousavi would have happened if ex- President was in power. I honestly believe in the power of pen, intelligence and wisdom as demonstrated by President Barack Hussein Obama in dealing with the Iranian nuclear issue that would have convinced Iranian intelligentsia that he is the man who could bring about the change they desire without USA dropping bombs and firing bullets on their heads.

    I also believe that that this must signal the beginning of an end of mullahs' rigid regime of and peaceful transition to middle path, "Ummatum Wassatum" as preached in Islam

    jbz7879: You are really out of touch with the vast majority of the people on this earth. I doubt you will achieve what you wish for here. What a mess.

    I hope those corrupt mullahs, who themselves are an insult to my Islamic faith, realize that the very students who brought them to power can also overthrow them. The sooner the better and then Iran can once again take its rightful place among responsible, progressive nations. May Allah protect the students and may they be successful in bringing down the mullahs who have turned a beautiful country into a pariah state!

    i consider all humanity to be my brethern -i would never dare even think viciously about any a living thing and the people of book i am commandeered by KORAN TO RESPECT AND LOVE -
    I THINK IF IT WAS VICE VERSA AND MY SENTIMENTS WERE RECIPROCATED -we would not have gaza east jerusalem ,bosnia and so many other past adventures liike andulacia and sicily -
    god bless KAMAL FOR SAVING ISTANBUL AND JINNAH FOR CREATING 2 HOMELANDS FOR THE PERSECUTED MUSLIM VICTIMS -
    IT IS NICE TO SEE ISLAMIC RENAISSANCE EMERGE AND UNEQUIVOCALLY IRRITATE THE HATERS -
    LOVE TO ALL AND PEACE BE TO HUMANITY -
    AMEEN AND ALHAMDOLILLA
    ALLAH IS GREAT AND JUST

    davebru
    i got it exactly right ,
    the hate is oozing from your carcass like the the manna that was peomised but rejected by the children of israel -and calm down its only an election and despite all you do or say nothing will, change inshallah -lolz ,
    look into your dirty collars if you wanna see the dirty underbelly of zionism married to capitalism
    then you will know why history has treated the sons and children of israel the way they have been treated .,
    allah hafiz -my jewish brother who came out of lebanon in 2 days after planning to wipe out hizbollah in a 2 month campaign -
    try again this time take obama with you too -and do not forget rahm
    shalom to the children of israell and my brothers -allah nigahban

    Hey jbz7879: You are mistaken about Mousavi doing that chanting, the numbers involved in protests against Obama and USA directly involved in action in Lebanon conflict last year. Get your facts straight and stop your own attempts at supporting the bad that is happening in Iran. You are on the wrong side of what is just, what is right and what is reasonable. Wish you could see how ignorant and hateful you appear to the educated readers here.

  • Posted By: jbz7879 @ 06/16/2009 3:29:41 AM

    THE FACT MOUSSAVI WAS CHANTING THE SLOGAN DEATH TO ISLAMIC REPUBLIC JUST SAYS ALL IN A NUTSHELL AND WHO IS ORCHESTRATING THE CIRCUS BEHIND THE NEFARIOUS NINCOMPOOP WHOSE WIFE THINKS SHE IS BRITNEY SPEARS ,NOT THAT SPEARS IS IN ANY DANGER OF BECOMING FIRST LADY IN A COUNTRY EVEN AS UNCIVILISED AS USA ,
    as for mir he did get 40 percent of vote --but he lost as was obvious as the majority od iranians are not western upper middle class, pro-israel or american lovers ,
    rathher other wise
    and obama should shut his trap as there were more demonstrations against him in europe when he came here 2 months ago then in whole of iran .
    cheers to the children of israel -may you be guided on the correct path by jehovah for once in the course of history
    ANY LOGIC WILL BEHOLD THAT CLAIM

    nejad is just a face like obama
    the country is ruled by the supreme council like USA IS RULED BY CONGRESS AND SENATE-
    IT IS HILARIOUS TO SEE A FRACTION OF BOURGEOIS SOCIAL ELEMENT TRY TO IMPLEMENT A REGIIME WHICH MIGHT FAVOUR ISRAEL -USA
    the crux of the issue comes from the suppoert of hizbollah by nejad and the drubbing usa and israel got last year when they went into lebanon to wipe them out and came out indays with their tail between their legs .

    THE COMMENTS OF THE ZIONISTS HERE REFLECTS THAT REALITY -
    A FEW UPPER MIDDLE CLASS VOTERS WITH THEIR PATHETIC BOURGEIOS MENTALITY ARE NO THREAT TO THE HUMBLE-HARD WORKING AND NOBLE NEJAD WHO MAKES HOSSAIN LOOK VAPID .

    CHEERS TO USA AND ISRAEL
    AND LONG REIGN NEJAD

    These Iranian people are under the thumb of dictatorship...it is a shame that the people of Iran do not really have the freedom to make their votes count for who they choose to be elected. It is shameful. Obviously, Mamouwhatever rigged the election...to be sure, the vote counters were probably given an ultimatum by this maniac to rig the votes his way...or else.

    Blood in Tehran! Why all the agitation? After all, isn???t that what the West has been hoping for?

    The media must refrain from whipping up the rage of certain groups and halt any speculation or conjecture. Just stay neutral and report the truth.

    If the more educated citizens (despite in the minority) feel that they should run the country because they know better, why hold the election then? Who wants another Thailand?
