Freedom is only Now (submission by @girlzoo)
thesilentdove:
what an irony that i should be so invested in the Iranian people demanding that their government pay attention to their voices when my country paid no attention to ours when they put George W. Bush Jr in office whilst i sat silent. i knew my vote didn’t count when i cast it for Al Gore, but what did i do? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. complained a bit. read lots of editorials. had CNN,...

دینْجداخواهی و دولتْجداخواهی
این نوشته زمینهی بحث جدایی دین و دولت را میکاود، موضع اصلی جدل بر سر سکولاریسم را در موقعیت کنونی ایران نشان میدهد و چشماندازی را میگشاید که در آن خطوطی از اختلافها و چالشهای پیش رو روشنی مییابند. نوشته برمینهد که عدهای میخواهند دین را از شر دولت نجات دهند (دینْ−جداخواهان) و عدهای دولت را از شر دین (دولتْ−جداخواهان). نیکوست که اینان با...
Insider : There is no possible way out of this for...
mikverbrugge:
(Insider assessment of all the info I relayed the past few days.)
All reports of past few days indicate Ayatollah Montazeri’s death has not only accelerated meltdown of regime but has shifted popular demand towards dismantlement of the very concept of Islamic Jurists Guardianship (Islamic Republic). It is no longer a “Green” movement. Montazeri’s death, and subsequent insults and...

I posted this:
The writer seems adequately informed, however, there are examples that point to the not so adequate information, when he claims, “And we still do not know for sure whether Mousavi and others are under house arrest or what the security situation is for them”. We do know, if one takes the time to find out what happened to him after each major demonstration, 13 Aban or 16...

I received a tweet about this article and I expected a heavier intellectual weight from a Foreign Policy writer, but maybe I was wrong! The writer with his superfluous knowledge about Iran, especially about the recent events, camouflages his logical inconsistencies with hidden assumptions and principals. Not much else can be expected from one who believes that US is entitled to...
So what if they burned the pictures of Khomeini!
See a great supporter of the Iranian cause do it here: http://www.dailyniteowl.com/wordpress/index.php/2009/12/13/why-is-burning-khomeinis-picture-a-crime/
By the way, Bravo Josh!
But don’t forget what Khomeini said himself in 1979, a little more than 30 years ago:
خمینی:حرام است تعرض کردن به کسى که به من سب کند، به من فحش بدهد، عکس مرا پاره کند، مرا بزند، هر کارى بکند. 15آذر58(16 محرم...
