  • IRANIAN PEOPLE PLEASE FIGHT AGAINST ISLAM , KILL THAT BASTARD AHMADENIJAD

  • a great song for this video is Shahyar Ghambari's Mara Daryab

  • @wildbloodydragon what do you mean Israel came? Israel was always there. You know why we're called Jews? We are from Judea. Where's Judea? West bank. Abraham's, Isaac's, and Jacob's tombs are in Hebron. They were always there. Are you saying Isaac and Jacob aren't Jewish? (Abraham doesn't count.)

  • Religion is a form of slavery, take this crap we can treat you like dogs but " oh we promise you a better life" shame the better life only kicks in when your dead. Rise people religion and politics are taking the piss out of you

  • @midleground I have studied it already, you haven't.

    Turkey, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Pakistan, even Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt used to belong to the Persian empire at some point. Does that mean Iran has the right to try to take over these countries?

    Native Americans used to live in America way before Americans did. I don't see them killing anyone over it either.

    The past is the past. TODAY's Palestinians are innocent.

  • @wildbloodydragon

    u forgot to say palestine were figting with the nazi's !

    killed hundreds of lebanese people !

    palestine is an apartheid state!

    christians are being slaughterd by the muslims there !

  • @midleground Do you know how many Lebanese deaths Israel was responsible for? If it wasn't for the selfless Lebanese who put their lives on the line, Lebanon would've be occupied and ruled by Israel.

    Those Jihadists can't even come close. And let's just be honest...after a country is a war zone for 60 years, some people are gonna lose their minds and become lunatics. Do you really think those guys would've done this if Israel never existed? And why are you blaming all Palestinians?

  • @wildbloodydragon

    its the palestinians starting the lebanese civil war !

    lebanon-israeli war = israeli-hez bollah war !

    israel is the ony democratic country there !

    gaza is an apartheid state !

  • @FREExIRAN Oh yes! Israel came and occupied the region but how is that Israel's fault??? It's all Lebanon's fault! Those crazy assholes trying to defend their country, pfft, how pathetic! They need to hand their country to Israel, who may have killed a LOT of people, but that's ok, at least they are a democratic country!!!!

    lmfao.

  • @midleground Such typical hate speech.

    You filled your heart with hate all the way, and I bet you didn't have a good reason for it.

  • Regime in Iran , or not.

    Muslims are muslims, they are the problem of the world.

    95% of all over the world they are the problem.

    even in countries like sweden that is not in any wars, and only wanted to help.

    Fuck allah and fuck muhammad the pig.

  • from an arab god help iran

  • "ISLAM IS THE STENCH FROM THE CORPSE OF THAT DEAD BEDUIN PERVERT."

    Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey

  • "There is No Compulsion in Religion"

    -Quran

    I dont know whats up with most of you Iranians, maybe most of you are using Islam as a excuse

    funny tho, so what religion are you guys going to convert too? christians?

  • @NWA90s there is no compulsion in religion! seems like you have not read your fucking holy book properly! this is another paradox in qhoran that clearly shows that book is nothing but a piece of garbage! in one verse it says you are free to choose your religion and in another it says kafaran( means: people who don't believe in Islam) shall be burnt in hell,their skin will be pealed off,they shall be punished,...!!! death is all over this book! you just have to read it and understand it!

  • @shelmanjojo it mean they will be punished after the death in judgement day. it doesnt say that WE have to kill them.

    and then people like you call muslims evil lol its funny, but your the one writing hate against islam.

    you are doing what you blame US for doing, pathetic...

  • @NWA90s so fuck off and take your fucking Allah with you whom he only knows how to kill and punish! we don't want such a god in great Persia thanks!

  • @NWA90s ZOROASTRIANISM !

    The ONLY old Iranian Religion in which Iran was happy !

    CHECK HISTORY !

    It has same idea of worshipping God ( Ahura Mazda in Zoroastrianism )

    islam repeated the same God as Allah and showed the world that they are the 1st ones who told the world about God which is a lie !

    But the track record of islamics was always unhappy !

    I think the world knows enough now and so does muslim youth !

    God cannot be misused in name of any Religion !

    Iran does need better life !

  • Women in ancient Persia had rights of their own, even commanding troops on the battlefield as admirals and commanders. During the Pahlavi dynasty, women also had a lot of freedom and rights.

    After the Islamic Republic Regime got hold of Iran, women are to be covered in Islamic attires whether they want to or not.

  • Free Secular Democratic Iran

  • @yekeshgh1 God Bless the great persian society and culture.

  • @kashurludka Yes and free us from the claws of tyrants trying to destroy it with their fanaticism, hate and dogma.

  • say no to Islam(e)..

  • WHAT IS the TRACK RECORD of Islam for PEACE ?

    Track Record of Islam is PICESES NOT PEACE !

    NO difference between G Bush's Americ & Islam

    Parvez Jamasji parvez1942@yahoo.com

  • No to IsHam!

  • dont balme islam

  • long live pahlavi dynasty

  • there is no religion that prophets bad things to do if you follow it like it should be followed....

  • I thank the universe that I live in the USA and a western society....

    Nonetheless, I hope Iranians overthrow their power-hungry, insane, anti-islamic, monkey faced leader and his goonies... before Israel blows up Tehran that is...

    Why is it that in every middle eastern islamic country there is violence and corruption in the masses??? This makes me wonder if Islam even works for the 21st century....

  • Freedom to all people, Freedom to Iran

  • Death to you and your Islamic behaviour and words, Death to your suicidal acts and your cult of death Islam.

    Death to those who believe in the religion of death. Go to hell and stay there because you and your buddies always remain there.

  • My brother, What percentage of Iranians are Muslim? I know theirs about 8% christian, but I thought most Iranians were Muslim.

    Well, I hope for the best, for Iran. They have suffered way too much, and they don't deserve it at all. Iranians are our brothers and sister, they are family to us.

    Islam has destroyed so many innocent people not only in Iran but the whole Middle east, by their killing, and their False Prophet Muhammad, he was no prophet of light, but of Darkness.

    peace be upon Iran.

  • @Persiancreed1 Easy there brother.

    We all hate the Iranian government. Let's just be clear on that.

    But don't blame Palestinians. They're being used by the Iranian government as a distraction. Anyone who listens to a legitimate news source (like CNN or even BBC...pretty much anything but FOX) knows what a blood sucking murdering regime Israel is.

    We don't have to look away from Israel's crimes to gain support from the west. In fact, we don't want their support. We can finish this on our own.

  • Ahmadinejad's bullshit apocalyptic religious rhetoric is making me sick.

    LONG LIVE IRAN!!!

  • yairani1985: If you participated in the Quds day in Iran, as you claim, and now you have access to Youtube, then it only means that you work for the criminal Iranian government. All my friends & family in Iran say that they can't open their Yahoo accounts and Youtube is filtered.

    Ahmadinejad has no credibility on democracy or liberty or the economy to talk in UN. He had to orchestrate a massive fraud to win an election with hand-picked candidates!

  • Google Ayatullah Montazeri's Official site as the highest religious authority in Iran. Read question and answer section to undersand real Islam. Also Google Montazeri + Kadivar and read Fatwa or Montazeri that this Regime is Non Islamic and has no more legitimacy. Long live Green Movement of Iran. Your Muslim brother.

  • 1.41 crack kills.

  • Persia before Islamic conquest = richest and one of the greatest empires in the world.

    Iran during the Pahlavi Dynasty = great.

    Iran now, in the Islamic Republic Regime = sucks.

    Whenever Islam comes and rule, civilizations screw up.

  • @BlloodRayyven not to mention peace loving, persia and Israel were both developed and we shared our knowledge with eachother..not like those war apes..

  • @BlloodRayyven

    While I am not religious, and abhore religious extremism, don't you think that you're being a little extremist as well??

  • @kashurludka How am I being a little extremist at all? All I did was stated how Islam screwed up the countries and civilizations that Islam was forced upon. History does not lie.

  • Comment removed

  • @kashurludka I like how you remove your comments. It won't save the fact that whenever a country is ran under an Islamic theology, its laws and government, the country ends up getting fucked up.

  • @BlloodRayyven

    I am NOT a Muslim....You can read up about my people (Pandits) of Kashmir on my channel. My people were actually converted into Islam during the Islamic conquest of Kashmir some 600 yrs ago....BUT that doesn't mean that we should malign an entire religion for the bad acts of a few.....I can't maybe talk about the Quran (as i have NOT read it)....but I will say that I respect the SUFI faith very much as it is spiritual and tolerant. Anyway, I HATE religion in general.

  • @kashurludka Did I ever assume you are a Muslim? Did I even blame an entire religion? How is stating the simple fact that countries under Sharia Law and Islamic Theology gets fucked up? Read it up, I am not sharing my opinions, I am posting facts. It is clear to me you cannot read, which is why I shouldn't even be bothering.

  • @BlloodRayyven

    Yes, I guess I agree with you.....I shudder to think what would happen to my Kashmir, if Sharia law ever came there. Anyway, God Bless you Great persians.

  • @BlloodRayyven persia got screwd by the spartans, long before the muslims came.

    you should know spartans owned the persians

  • @BlloodRayyven Islam is the work of the Arabs, a foreign installation that tries to stifle the truth of Zoroastrianism! The sooner the foreign scum is removed, the sooner the great nation of Iran can regain its splendor in an unshackled fashion!

  • @RubicantX

    ya thats right, just search "Yazgird II islam" in youtube to here our King's letter to the invading muslim Arabs it is brilliant

  • Iranians have been forcefully converted from Zoroastrianism, the state religion! Arabs are a disease,and so is their lie of a religion! Curse the tulip and its lies!

  • remov earabs ,HIZBOALLAH, AND islam from iran iran is a persian country not arabsssssssssss

  • Iran Tries to Suppress Rape Allegations NAZILA FATHI

    Irans clerical leadership on Friday stepped up a campaign to silence opposition claims that protesters had been raped in prison, with prayer leaders in at least three major cities denouncing the accusations and their chief sponsor.

    The accusations of rape have multiplied and provoked strong reactions in the days since a reformist cleric, Mehdi Karroubi, broached the subject last weekend.

  • islam is a curse

  • Islam =TERRORISM. QURAN= THE BOOK OF ISLAMONAZISM

    Sura (8:12) - "I will cast TERROR ( terror is mentioned many times in the quran) into the hearts of those who

    disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS MEANS BEHEAD !!!

    Sura (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast TERROR into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with

    Allah, for which He had sent no authority".

  • ALLAH IS AS DEAD AS THE REPBROBATE MOHAMET AND NEVER HEARD ONE WORTHLESS MUSLIM PRAYER!

    Iran will lead the world in exterminatin Islam from humanity.

  • THE QURAN TELLS MUSLIMS TO KILL.

    quran 9 :5 But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and SLAY(yes kill!!!) the unbelievers wherever ye

    find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they

    repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-

    Forgiving, Most Merciful.

  • Ishaq:576 Killing them was sweeter than drink. We galloped among them panting for the spoil. With our loud-voiced

    army, the Apostle's squadron advanced into the fray. Crushing the heads of the infidels and splitting their skulls

    with sharp swords, we continually thrust and cut at the enemy. Blood gushed from their deep wounds as the battle

    wore them down.

    This stuff makes Mein Kampf of hitler seem mild. ISLAM IS A FILTHY CULT OF HATE.

  • We need to let the Iranians do it on their own. Americans belong in America. keep our noses to ourselves.

  • Where can I sign the petition? I'm disgusted Ahmadinejad, but even more so in the Ayatollah Khomeini.

  • please listen to Ron Buitenhuis, WE BELIEVE on youyube...free iran...

  • My heart is with Iran. Iranians deserve mutch better to live under the Islamic Goverment.

    Thanks for uploading :)

  • Nothing to do with Islam/religion

    Its all about power

  • ALL TO DO WITH ISLAM , islam is a cult of murder. Read your filthy crapran.

  • Islam teaches VIOLENCE, KILL for Allah!!!.

    muslims will LIE with the pathetic Islamic EXCUSE that they KILL in self-defense .THIS is NOT in self-defense. IT

    URGES MUSLIMS TO FIGHT AND KILL FOR ALLAH, sura 9 : 111 Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the

    Garden (of Paradise): they FIGHT in HIS CAUSE(they kill for Allah), and KILL and they are KILLED

  • thats right, Islamics produce nothing but lies, deceit, fake rewritten history and evil inhumane sneak attack against productive people. Islam is a belief disease spawned and spread by illiterate desert bandit pedophiles with untreated psychological disorders.

    Kill Islam, forever!

  • Keep Going Iran!

    Don't give up!

    It could be decades before you guys get another change to take out your tyrranical government.

  • Thank you YOUTUBE.

  • Powerful video....don't give up. Iran belongs to it's people!!! Free Iran!!

  • الحرية للشعب الايراني

  • I commend any country that stands-up for their rights. I wish today's generation of American citizens had more guts. Go Iran.

  • i have hope but i think we still have a while yet before we get rid of those bloodsuckers. sadly there are still idiots in iran who worship and support that evil regime and also people are still scared. but i have faith. that one day they will fall.

  • Take KNIVES with you!!!

    Kill those you kill your brethren!!!!

    I am an American and I support the young Iranians!

  • cause war and "liberal" revolutions is sionism and his money.

    Do you think in EU match freedom? you have freedom only talk without result. That's all.

  • ok im iranian and i want equal rights 2 and im completly 4 a new gov. and freedom but my religion is islam ok so stop hating

  • Its not the religion that causes the wars its always been the man leading the religion and that man has nothing to do with divinity

  • I wish US would stand firm and punish countries providing volunteers to Iran fachist regime to kill its citizens.These countries include, Pakistan, Lebonan, Syria, Afghanistan.

  • well we here in the US have our own form of subtle fascism with the manner in which we eliminate the poor via structural violence....read the right books and your eyes will be filled with tears

  • Sometimes I really wonder what is the mentality of some of the people who are posting comments - or even if they any mental capacity. Your video inspired me to sign the petition. Thank you. (Please take a look at "The Iranian Freedom Call" on You Tube. My husband's feelings about the current situation. The one shot of the opposition women lined up with their guns with the white roses in the barrell really got to me. That says it all.

  • religion is the cause for many wars and conflicts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • monetary greed and the lusty feeling of being in the spotlight is the cause of great many wars, religion takes spot 2 or 3

  • first of all, screw ALL religion! its been the cause of many wars and conflicts

    second, respect to the iranian people for their resistance

    third: they should keep it in iran .. its pretty lame and pointless for iranian people to protest in france/ny/wherever

  • these things are all propheciesed in the bible and the koran whe need to wake up and support the brave people of iran

  • FUCK ISLAM

  • ISLAM AND ISLAMIST IS THE CORE PROBLEM OF IRAN......chapter closed all said and done ...

  • eat a bowl of shit

  • Hey don't get suicidal here, Don't act Islamic here, You Islamic language got you blocked.

  • @Persiancreed1

    God Bless the great society and culture that is Persia.

  • fuck you islam is not the problem its the man whos leading, thats the problem and not islam you motherfucking yew of what you are!!

  • No Islamic language please, Islamic language gets you blocked.

  • @vipershoot kiss my dick bitch! you fucking Arab Muslim terrorist!

  • I guess near the end of days people are becoming less grateful and more greedy,

  • For Xzibillion

    Thank you for your comment - we live in a democracy so I have no objection to a response. The owner of this also has the same views as he/she has also left the negative comments up.

    You used the word idiot a few times and forgot to make your point clearly? The Freedom fighters are nothing to do with the revolution of 30 years ago

  • lol bro if there is no shariah in Iran. Its like SAYING there is DEMOCRACY IN IRAN NOW!!! Get it idiot!!!! We're fighting agaisnt a Jimmy carter placed regime idiot.

  • Part 10 (1-10 my response to previous comments made by other viewers)

    We have witnessed through Twitter and YouTube the beginning of the end for fanatical rule in Iran, the fanatical clerics days are now numbered and Iranians all over the world can taste freedom is close.

    FREE IRAN - Allahu Akbar

  • Part 9

    I believe Iran has over this past week turned a very important corner, nothing will be the same no matter how dire the situation gets; even if the protests are stopped through murdering the demonstrators and calm is restored through fear. Iran will remember this week and Iranian Freedom Fighters will continue their struggle no matter how long it takes.

  • Part 8

    OK in the west there is also bad and good, corruption and violence, perhaps no one is actually free anywhere but we have to adhere to minimums and these minimums are certainly absent in Iran today and have been for some time.

  • Part 7 (continued)

    so I am not sure of the point he has tried to make here.

    (for anolmec ) Yes I agree that at least Bush's shameful administration (both) did come into power with somewhat similar corruption; and certainly there have been similar events here in the UK in the past where voting boundaries were moved before an election.

  • Part 6

    (for rintintin565) if he has to ask "freedom to do what" as he has done then that in itself is repression, no one SHOULD need to answer that question, these writer's remarks hurt themselves more, obviously one cannot be well educated to support the despots in power in Iran and it shows here. Business thieves; it is a well recorded fact that under the present regime billions of dollars have been stolen by the tyrants and clerics running Iran over the last number of years,

  • Part 5

    Being obviously a westerner, on one occasion I was a passenger in a car when a police officer suddenly reached into the car grabbing me just to check whether or not I was wearing a seat belt, which of course I was. This doesnt sound like freedom even limited freedom to me.

  • Part 4

    I am a westerner, married to an Iranian, I was in Iran two years ago and I witnessed daytime gestapo type raids in the streets on innocent shoppers; where these people were gathered and bundled off iton vans and taken away where they would either (in some cases) disappear, be tortured or humiliated.

  • Part 3

    (for Jalanski28 again) I obviously go to the wrong places.... where does this writer go?... women striped in the streets is perhaps better (not that it really happens) than seeing other human beings beaten, murdered and repressed.

  • Part 2

    When a man in his position announces to his people for them to end the protests or face violence or death; in reality he should have just asked for calm not make threats (where is the freedom there) . He is a dangerous tyrant that is not respected by anyone with the smallest amount of education and/or humanity.

  • heil iran get your freedom now.we in europe wish you the best .just get your freedom and then arabs gonna be crazy^^

    greeting form

    Norway

  • Too bad there are no Floridians in Iran. They could how the Iranians how to conduct a peaceful sham election

  • Message from an Iranian in Sweden. Our ancestors (ALL the nations) have endlessly fought for freedom, so may the fight continue for ever and ever if so necessary!! We all mourn for the dead and the wounded and pray for all the young brave soldiers. You have touched the world and may your cause be victorious!! YOU ARE ALL NOW WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS AND THEREFORE ALL HEROES!!!!!!!

  • freedom to keep the poor poorer and steal all the money. is that the freedom you are talking about? because that was the government before the relious nuts of today, but at least there is food on the table? educate me

  • Lovely video, the world should listen to Garth.

  • oh hell yeah!

    play Friends in Low Places !! I love that song!

  • video would be a lot cooler if the music was not gay... try something epic like 'South of Heaven' by Slayer

  • Garth Brooks's we shall be free, is perfect, beautiful song.

  • In my previous postings, I accused the Iranians of being cowards bcoz they allowed the fanatics to rule over them. I described Iran as the land of 70 million cowards and enslave by a dwarf. Now, Iranians finally awaken. I hope they can sustain their fight against the dictatorship. I hope they can show again the courage when they fought the Shah. There is now an opportunity for them to be free and I hope they will succeed. If not, they will be cowards for the rest of their lives.

  • God be with you!

  • Obama should take the side of freedom loving Iranians. Stop being a whimp. You're not in Jeremiah Wright's church anymore.

  • look dude this is no demonstration against Islam its a demonstration against a repressive regime which jimmy carter put in place like all other bs regime elsewhere. remember it was the CIA who hired the shah in 1952 to undermine the democratic regime there and placed The Shah as dictator there which is another reason Khomeini is in power today. But anyways why are the crowds saying allahuakbar if they are against Islam idiot.

  • khomeini ayatollah is a religious man. have some respect.. becareful in what you people are saying. once you get your freedom. do you think this can help islam when women stripped on the streets like american women are doing in US or a gay marriage will be tolerated? all in all, the morality of Iran will be degraded. Do you think this is some kind of joke?

  • First learn some English !! Khomeini was a religious man he is dead now, secondly since when morality has been related to Islam? Since when Islam which kills those who speak their minds is related to any positive aspect of human life? American men and women have more knowledge,honour and dignity than you piece of crap. Go to hell both you and your so called religion Islam.

  • freedom to do what ? to let the business thieves take everything or religion change? Or what? educate me.

  • Ahmadinedjad didn't won. If he did, how come that 800.000 Iranian people demonstrated in Teheran alone? If Ahmadinedjad hád won with 60% ... then where come those 800.000 from????

  • Freedom will reign. and it ain't demon-cracy

  • engaging in protestation is the certain right of iranian people ,don't surrender brave iranian people

    KEEP FIGHTING !!

  • Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers

  • Take a look at what complete gun control accomplishes liberals...

    The gov't has TOTAL control, they have the guns and the people have rocks...

  • well fucking said

  • Please don't mix your race with others. Your support for the dictator shows who is the sand nigger.

  • sandniggers? well, were actually aryan if you didnt know

  • you are a sad excuse for a human.

  • BE STRONG !

  • Persiancreed1, thank you so much! Regards from an Azeri in Boston - we keep our fingers crossed for our Iranian/Persian brothers and sisters!

  • hi guys, pls translate into persian:

    LONG LIVE FREE IRAN!

    thanks!

  • Terrorism in history has always been used as a tool for fighting a deeper problem in their society in the past it may have worked in situations a by-product of wrongs.,leading to freedom... somehow. not today - eventually it does get old and modern rational people find better ways of fixing their problems. They learn knowledge is works much better than killing innocent people to prove a point.

  • Ironically religion can be used for evil to what better way to control people..religion also is a very emotional topic, and governments that learn to separate that and focus on more important issues, like human rights and freedoms.. in the USA it was a process..a few hundred years and still workingout problems..maybe the can adapt faster and workit out..the world is praying for them. No one wants to see a unstable country..just peace.

  • Comment removed

  • let them fight it by themselves

  • you cant ever trust the muslim world if you go help them out they will be your friends only until they have their problems solved then they become our enemies again. I say let them solve their problem their own way. I hope the US wont get involved in these hellholes again. They have no trouble executing christians. let them use their own profits from the oil boom they had recently to fight their wars.

  • if you don't have something supportive to say, then shut up.

    you guys discriminate every moslim in the US too and it's the regime that kills christians and gays not the people. you got it mixed up

  • Comment removed

  • Just goes to show how a religion left to rule can corrupt just like any other form of government. Fundamentalist Christians, are you listening?

  • I'm not really sure what they are fighting for. The president, as I understand is a pretty insignificant position - the real leadership is the "Supreme leader" or whatever he calls himself. The pres is just a figurehead of state. I wish the protesters well and hope they don't swap one despotic regime for another.

  • Or how those who want freedom in Iran still want to opress their women and refuse them their legal rights in marriage, child custody, divorce, ownership of property, protection from domestic abuse, etc, etc.

  • Nationalism is a disease, along with the pervasive mindset of my way is the right way for everyone and I will force it on everyone else, even those who have lived with repression. Like those who lived under oppression of the Shah, who when they gained power, began to arrest, torture and murder Bahai's in Iran and try to force them to convert to Islam. Or like the oppressed Jews of Europe who went to Palestine and oppressed the Palestinians. Or how blacks are beginning their own backlash in US.

  • Good luck to the people of Iran. I hope they can find democracy, freedom, and peace.
