Fareed Zakaria interviews Prof Mohammed Marandi on Iranian Post-Election Unrests

[bramdean]

Fareez Zakaria is apparently unaware that the US provided Saddam Hussein with military intelligence through Satellites as well as AWACS. Provided credit for weapons procurements, as well as propagation for chemical and biological weapons which it used on Iranian civilians as well as his own Kurdish minority in the north. fareed, you are an utter bastard!

[bramdean]

Fareed, you are a stooge!

[storeylas]

Fareed certainly doesn't have the courage to talk to white men or American leaders like that. Well done by the Iranian guy.

After almost 3 years later we see that he was totally correct and Zakaria was talking nonsense.

[buzzin1975]

@storeylas Fareed is a traitor to all brown people everywhere. He should be hung and his supporters should be annihilated. All white people should be eradicated.

Farid, how do you feel about being the mouth piece of a dying imperialistic colonial empire???

[flyer7799]

So during the Iran-Iraq war, US gave Saddam Hussein billions of dollars for agriculture??? So Donald Rumsfeld gave Saddam Helicopters with chemical sprayers (Iraq used chemical weapons) for agriculture!? US gave Saddam modification parts for the helicopters as well. All the bombs that were dropped on Iran had made in USA on them, did the Iraquis stamp that on the bombs? US already admitted of giving Iraq military aid, what the hell is this idiot talking about?

This is the same Prof. Marandi that has put his seal of approval on the Execution of Underage Children....

He is the same Marandi that is happy to see his students get slautered in Hundreds...

Sorry to call him a Colleague in Academia...!!!!!!!

We, the Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, and other Intellectuals, clearly and unequivocally support the will and aspirations of Iranian people and prey for their safety…

This is the same Prof. Marandi that has put his seal of approval on the Execution of Underage Children....

[MowjeSabzV]

I hate IRI. But, this guy Fareed Zakaria is a stupid pan Arab. He writes stupid things about Iranians. For example, in an article in the Newsweek magazine, he portrayed Iranians as Arabs by depicting Iran as a member of the Arab world. He also says that Arabs invented algebra, which is complete nonsense. Algebra was founded by a Persian scholar known as al-Khwarizmi. The so-called "Arab" numerals were invented by Indians and then introduced by Persia to the Arabs, which introduced it to Europe.

[Democrat2020]

fareed Zakaria belong to terror religion ' Bahai ', he is openly support alqaeda group called JONDOLLAH inside iran as a freedom party , question is if CNN journalist support terror group killing 1000s civilian , world is finished when bahai terrorist (they r suppoted saddam b4)

CNN must know this terror element openly in 25 october support alqaeda group called jondollah.

shame on CNN for supporting bahai terrorist and al qaeda terrorists.

[KMehrabi]

fFrst of all, Baha'i Faith is not a "terror religion" on what basis would you say such a thing. and fareed zakaria is not a Baha'i anyway. Baha'i'is did not support saddam, more bunk. Baha'i's are apolitical altogether and have total neutralitiy in political affairs. Baha'i's only want peace and understanding for the world. Please take your nonsense hojjatieh comments elsewhere.

[sufiatheart]

Fareed - you are one stupid, ignorant git. The first person I know of trying to deny that US didn't supply Saddam with chemical weapons that was used against the Iranians. What an apologist. Marandi - what a champion.

[young9807]

marg bae jomhori e Islami. he is a lair just like ahmedi.

[spourabbas]

Such a brave person!!! don't talk in this way he may not accept to join any other debate after this!!!! LOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

[homegrownhero]

this is a case of misrepresentation at its best in several ways.

& also a battle of wills between 1 Iranian with competency in Western conventions vs. a well-informed Indian-American with a wit about him which many overlook.

This is media angling & subtextual fallacy constructing at its best!

The fact that Marandi was smirking a bit didn't help his case against the misrepresentation of himself as some sort of mouthpiece of the devil.

[hydrademian]

i dont care what you guys think here. iranian people hate figures like marandi who support murder and torture. and if you think that marandi did well, you are in the same line as well.

[spourabbas]

LOOOLLL!!! If Iranian people hates some body it is Imperialists and there puppets inside iran!!! Iranian people like people like marandi because they have the same identity as marandi has!!!

[hydrademian]

how the fuck do you know what iranians like or dislike. pls dont project your own anti-western identity complexes on us. have a nice time in singapore.

[spourabbas]

may be because I am an Iranian! lived in iran for more than 30 years!!! and belong for the mass of Iranian people!!! good lock!!!

[azadiiran1]

One thing that I admire about you and sperate you from others like germancus24 is that at least you debate with people like me and others and wont delete our comments like others. for that I thank you.

[spourabbas]

Thanks for your kind comment on me. I have to confess that your politemness is quite rare amoung the people themselves as democratic, secular and liberal!!!! so most of your thought-mates talk in an insultive manner. regarding germancus24, I think he is sick out of this kind of people. as you may know, he is not iranian rather he likes iran and iranians to be an anti imperialist after islamic revolution!!!

[azadiiran1]

if you really believe in waht u said . U should not have anything against a democratic referandum monitor by the international community. But I don't think so.

[khaz6pill]

You should be a real irrational stupid IR regime supporter to say those IDIOTIC nonsense .... SHAME on these people !

[spourabbas]

Sorry friend! we are talking with two different langauges!!!

[khaz6pill]

برادر بسیجی ! حکومتهای نرون، هیتلر، استالین از شماها خیلی بزرگتر و ابرقدرت تر و معتبر تر بودن اما تاریخ مصرفشون تموم شد .کسی که با جبهه رفتن پرفسور شده نمیتونه نظام شما رو توجیه کنه. حکومت توتالیتر سقوط میکنه . قافلگیر کننده هم خواهد بود این سقوط !! فعلا بوی خون شما رو مست کرده !!

[spourabbas]

ziyad ajaleh nakoon!!! be zoodi khahi did ke alateh dasteh estemaar nemitavanad IRAN ra be tskhireh khood dar avarad!!!

[khaz6pill]

جالبی قضیه اینه که شما که اینهمه استعمار استثمار میکنید تو خارج از کشور چیکار میکنید ؟؟؟؟ تو ایران شما حق نداری به این سایت اصلا دسترسی داشته باشی ... پس بهتره به قانون حکومتی که عاشقش هستی احترام بگذاری و اینجا تشریف نیاری.

[spourabbas]

ممنون از یاد آوری تان

[beh1310]

it's funny how you manipualte

[spourabbas]

Yes u are right! in my view too Marandi did very well. Fardid Zakaria, looking to be a moslem, has liberal ideology and for sure is not an islamist. this is how i see it. so he respect islam and islamic as long as it does not conflict with liberalism. thanks for comment.

[enragedben]

Zakaria denies the Iran-Iraq war on live television, pathetic. He also stares at Marandi like a dead lizard. Marandi beat him on all arguments, because Zakaria couldn't back himself up. On top of that, Zakaria is anxious to go to Iran???? Haha, riiiiight. Zakara is an example of middleasterns who betray Islam, just for more money in the western world.
