[lacarneceria613]

Pandemic-

Q.What do you say to criticism that[Women's rights]are Western values being imposed on Iranian women?

A."This is such a condescending statement against Muslim women in general.Are we saying Iranian women like to be beaten?That they dont like to have custody of their child? That they enjoy being stoned for adultery? Every woman, no matter from where, like life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness.I think it is demeaning to think that only Western women like these things"

[noracism11]

Terrorizing Persian virgins

Both the mullah (religous cleric) as the interrogator knew full well that this also gave the interrogator permission to rape Nadereh. The interrogator got what he wanted and fulfilled his religious duty as well. Thousands of young women were executed in Iranian prisons (1), most of them were raped under Islamic law.

-A list of 1,400 were collected and published by Iranian Political Prisoners Action Committee. Some were pregnant, many were under 17

[noracism11]

she should stop smoking she looks like 54 instead of 34. if she wants to be a good role model to younger girls she really shouldn't smoke like an idiot!

[hassan8261]

I say let the girls play their soccer!

Iranian girls are just as enthusiastic as iranian boys and I think they will be even more successfull in the world cup!!! dididi dididdit IRAN!

[laboolaboo]

Down with the Islamic Repulsive regime, a psychopathic and criminal bunch of backward clergymen.

[LoveShallThee]

YEAH!

[mehran1978]

Therefore the U.S, Brits, CIA had nothing to do with the rise of the Islamic Party in Iran. We chose it and we brought it to power, and a majority continue to support it. Now I myself am not a supporter of having an Islamic regime, because I believe that you cannot force people who do not want to practice a religion to do so. It actually turns many people away from the religion when if they were not forced, but exposed to it, they may seek it on their own will when they are ready.

[chefgrad]

Well nobody is forced to be muslim... It is a muslim nation, but next to Isreal, Iran has the largest Jewish community in the world.

[rebbiakiva]

No... next to Israel...the US has the largest Jewish community in the world...Iran only boasts the largest Jewish community in the Middle East...outside Israel

[chefgrad]

You're absolutely right. I came to realize this a few months after making the comment.

[rebbiakiva]

It should also be noted that, before 1950, Morocco had the largest, followed by Iraq...then there were massacres and property confiscations and they had to leave.

[chefgrad]

I found that through google as well ;), but yeah Iran has the 2nd largest Jewish population in the mid east...

[pastuso1bc]

There are more Jews in Buenos Aires than there are in Iran.

[rebbiakiva]

We were talking about in the Middle East NOT South America

[pastuso1bc]

I am talking about that bastard allah and his manwhore prophet.

I thought shithead allah was supposed to be god for all the earth?

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ...A billion muslims are too stupid to take a tiny patch of land away from a few million Jews, and fuckface allah does nothing about it. So who has some real problems?

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ...Listen....if shithead allah can call non muslims "pigs and monkeys" (verse 5-60), we can return the compliment. If that son of adultery allah wants respect, he can damn well show it himself. Until then, we can return bastard allah's abuse. Get used to it.

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ..I gave you the verse. So Just exactly who are the pigs and monkeys in verse 5-60? Just exactly who must you hate in verse 7-166? Just exactly who are the "worst of men" in verse Verse 98-6? Would those be muslims or non muslims?

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ..Really...very interesting. Nevertheless, asshole allah calls us kufars nasty names. So now are you telling me that shithead allah was wrong to say those things? Your prophet demanded death for apostasy. Are you telling me that your prophet was wrong? If you answer either question as yes, you are not a muslim.

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ..Are you trying to tell me that Verse 5-60 doesn't exist? The verse is there. Who are the "pigs and monkeys"? Are they muslims or non-muslims?

[pastuso1bc]

@FanetMJackson ..Read it for your self. I gave you the verse.......it's verse 5-60..or are you scared of confronting that fact that your shithead allah is a satanic sonofabitch????

You have to either agree or disagree with fuckface allah. You cannot have it both ways.

You want allah to guide me??? Allah is satan. I don't want guidance from satan.

[FULLOOKKK]

There are more antisemitic assholes and intolerant racists in Buenos Aires than..well allot of first world countries!! By the way most Jews fled the massacres of the Mid East..hence fewer Jews in those places..smart, really who the hell wants to live in a third world crappy country!

[pastuso1bc]

@chefgrad ....That's a fucking lie. There are more Jews in Buenos Aires than there are in all of Iran.

You know why muhammad didn't like dogs?

Muhammad was jealous of dogs. You see, dogs can lick their own balls, but muhammad being a man, could not.

That made muhammad insanely jealous.

That's why muhammad dressed up in his wife's clothes and kept a gay lover (Zahir) in his house.

Muhammad & Zahir licked each other's balls.

[chefgrad]

@pastuso1bc ... I didn't lie and you need to calm down a little.. lol I do stand to be corrected though. Next to Israel, Iran has the largest Jewish community in the middle east is what I should have said.. And I'm not Muslim so nothing you said insulted me

[pastuso1bc]

@chefgrad ...Congratulations for not being muslim. And don't worry, I am very calm. When I insult fuckface allah & manwhore son of whore muhammad, it's muslims who hyperventilate & foam at the mouth...not me. For me, insulting the prophet is fun.

[chefgrad]

@pastuso1bc in that case I guess I'll jump on the wagon with you. I agree Muhammad, Jesus, and Moses "manwhore's" in their own right.

[gaiagale]

@pastuso1bc ..."insulting ...is fun"?!? ~the/your statement struck me as odd perhaps it is a kind of oxymoron thing

...I even looked-up the word 'insult' in my dictionary and found both the definition and the etymology of 'insult' quite revealing

then just for 'fun' I looked up 'fun' and by dictionary definition the words can be (albeit rather twistedly so)thought of as 'synonymous' just as you stated ...putting the two words together for me still feels odd but to each their own : )

[pastuso1bc]

@gaiagale ..Nothing odd about insulting manwhore shithead muhammad at all. There is a certain entertainment value in watching muslims hyperventilate & foam at the mouth over that. Besides, fuckface allah insults us kufars. Payback can be a bitch sometimes.

[gaiagale]

@pastuso1bc when I replied to your comment I thought that approaching it with a linguist perspective would appeal to your sense of reason and your intelligence

...clearly I was mistaken ...oh well! :-])

...please engage your intelligence if you consider replying to this message ...if you do type otherwise I'll simply ignore your effort and delete it from my channel

...I'm really done with swearing and insulting of any kind

I wish you well

peace

[pastuso1bc]

@gaiagale ...Who are the "pigs and monkeys" in verse 5-60? Are they muslims of non muslims?

[TheQueenGia]

@chefgrad No one is forced to be muslim? There are countries in this world where if you choose to leave Islam you receive death threats. Does that not count as being forced to be a muslim?

[chefgrad]

@TheQueenGia I'm sure there are, but Iran is not one of them.

[chefgrad]

@TheQueenGia Iran was the topic of discussion....

[AlmazB]

@chefgrad NO it is actually The united States and France has the largest Jewish communities in the world outside of Israel. But Iran has the Largest Jewish population in the Middle East and Central Asia.

[pastuso1bc]

@chefgrad ..Lies, Lies. Argentina, Canada, & United States all have larger Jewish populations than Iran. While it's true that Iran does not force Chrsitians & Jews to be muslim, the Iranian regime will execute any muslim who openly & vocally turns away from islam.

Allah is a pig.

Muhammad's mama was a whore.

May allah burn in hell.

[mehran1978]

10) But with each assassination attempt, or bombing the left lost more peoples support

11)With the bombing of Beheshti and 70 other Islamic Republic Party members a purge that was already underway was hastened by Islamic forces to eliminate all radical leftist forces, and for the most part this purge and consolidation of power by the Islamic party was supported by majority of people who viewed those that were killed in the gorilla fighting like Beheshti as shaheeds(martyrs in the cause of God)

[mehran1978]

9)Once leftist, nationalist, and other opposition groups realized that they were far out-numbered in political support, they took on a gorilla fight against the Islamic Republic Party

10) This in turn resulted in street to street clashes, bombings, and terrorist attacks by leftist groups against the Islamic Party

11) The attaches were against the backdrop of a Kurdish uprising and Iraq's invasion of Iran and a war with Saddam who at one point declared he would conquor Tehran in a few weeks

[mehran1978]

6) BaniSadr (non cleric) was the first president of IRan elected with 70% vote. Again Khomeini insisted that no clerics run for Presidency at that time, he ended up being a spy for the CIA

7) The Islamic nature of the government was put to a referendum and 98% of the people CHOSE AN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC over just a REPUBLIC

8)The ISLAMIC CONSTITUTION OF IRAN was put to a referendum and once again 98% approved the constitution we have today in Iran

[mehran1978]

4)All opposition groups agreed on the overthrow of the Shah, but once he left, there was no unified vision of what kind of Govt. would replace him, however Ayatollah Khomeini and his Islamic Republic party had the largest support among the people

5) Initially after the Revln, Bazargan (non cleric) was named Prime Minister by Khomeini himself, however he resigned after the US embassy hostage situation and growing rift between him and the Islamic party

[mehran1978]

Studying the Iranian Revolution and our history you would realize the following:

1) The revolution consisted of largely peaceful unarmed demonstrators out in the streets by the millions, being shot at by Iranian military/security forces

2) Groundwork for the broad coalition of opposition parties occurred while the leaders of the various parties were in exile or jail

3)Labour Strikes/civil disobedience was the main tools of the people during the revolution

[mehran1978]

Or would you like to champion the Shah's human right record. With U.S and Israeli training the Savak (The Shah's version of KGB) arrested, tortured, killed, and terrorized all form of civil society and political opposition to the Shah's regime from 1957 to 1979. This included many left wing political party members and nationalists as well as Islamists. As a matter of fact the broad-based coalition that freed Iran from the Shah's opperssion was largely facilitated by their common struggle.

[mehran1978]

buitenzorg-which shah are we talking about?? Was it his desire to share the country's wealth with the people that made him go against Mossadegh for nationalizing Iranian Oil. Was it his nationalist tendency that made him come back to power through a U.S and British backed Coup detat. Was it his devotion to democracy that made him destroy the Iranian Parliamentary system from 1953 until the people kicked him out again?

[andybowe]

Aljazeera English should be carried by all cable opertaors not just Small town operators, USA needs real Journalism, about the world we live in BBC World looks like CNN International. Aljazeera English looks like BBC World but better USA Big three suck. Andy Bowe

[indulf]

It is sad to think that the CIA and its friends put the Ayatollahs into power.

[drselahi]

And what was their motive for doing so? Why get rid of a king that they put into power in 1952 to undue the nationalization of Iran's oil which mossadegh accomplished.

[buitenzorg3]

The Shah had become too much of a nationalist, like Nasser, and was not following instructions on oil. The CIA did not want left-wing democrats taking over from the Shah as they might not be easy to control. So the Ayatollahs were put into power and armed by the USA.

[buitenzorg3]

Radio Free Iran claimed that while at Qom, the Ayatollah Khomeini received a "monthly stipend from the British, and he is in constant contact with his masters, the British."

[buitenzorg3]

On 19 January 1980, the International Herald Tribune reported that the Shah had said, two years before he was overthrown, that he had heard from two different sources connected with oil companies that the regime in Iran would change. 'We believe that there was a plan to ensure less oil was offered to the world markets in order to bring about a price,' said the Shah. 'One country was to be chosen for the sacrifice..It seems that the country chosen to drop its oil production was mine.'

[buitenzorg3]

The Shah's radical policies worried the CIA and MI6. The Shah helped the poor to obtain land, gave women the vote, signed petroleum agreements with ENI the Italian oil company, moved to end opium production and began a nuclear programme.
