World: Iranian Election Reactions - NYTimes.com/Video

[TheArt4eva]

shut the fuck up, arabs. where u there when the sound of gunfires made my parents shiver? im 12, never been there. but guess what? I heard all the stories... and ive still been there and saw, the lessons they teach us at school, is trying to develope us as fighters for islam.

FUCK ISLAM!!! look wat it did to us! iran used to be so beautiful, look at it now.

so shut the fuck up, arabs. u were the ones were mainly blood thirsty for.

[Tahmmo]

@TheArt4eva What do you mean that is used to be so beautiful, but now is ugly? Explain to me if you can.

[TheArt4eva]

@Tahmmo first tell me ru challenging me, or do u just wanna noe?

if u just wanna noe, well we used to be a free country even though when shah (king) was there, we still didnt have that much freedom , but at least we could say our opinions aloud. i watched videos from that time, no one had to wear hijab, people were free.... then, shah became really mean, and everyone just wanted to choose a new leader. ppl protested, and instead of better leaders we got motherfuckers leading Iran.

[Tahmmo]

@TheArt4eva I was not challanging you man, just wanted to know the grounds for your opinion. Theoretically speaking; what is freedom for you? What is important for Iran right now?

[TheArt4eva]

@Tahmmo alright then :)

well, right now im not in iran but from what i hear, is that we are losing our language. Im currently in 8th grade, and I looked through the books, almost all teh words were arabic... maybe im over-exagerating but we are not even learning how to speak our own language, only arabic. We are learning Arab's religion, obeying their rules, and iran is sort of fading away...right now all we need is some good leaders that give life to our country again....

[Tahmmo]

@TheArt4eva Nice to hear about your research, but my 1st question was your view on freedom, as a concept; thoughts?

2 question was about Irans current status, what do you think is important for Iran now?

When talking about language, I speak 5 and current Persian has a lot of Arabic words; the separation has been tried before (at the time of the Shah) but it was abandoned because the languages have been intertwined for over 1000 years now. The "purest" Persian (what ever that is) is Dari.

[kimberlymarie21990]

They will continue immigrating to and destroying Europe and their society, especially Sweden, instead of fixing their own shitty country.

[azaman1794]

marg ba iran!

[sybertime2000]

مهدى كروبى، نامزد معترض به انتخابات، در نامه اى به رييس مجلس خبرگان از وى خواست تا به موضوع «تجاوز به دختران و پسران» بازداشتى پس از انتخابات رياست جمهورى رسيدگى كند.

[badigardsss]

fucking arabs!!!!what do u know about iran???

[cyrousg1]

God bless those last two egyptians talking, they really say something about more sensible, Iranians are not unsympathetic to palestians and Lebanese, just they shouldn't be expected to put the circumstances of foreiners before thier own circumstances, and I don't think mousavi would really change relations witj hezbollah

[cyrousg1]

Its nice to see the last two older and wiser egyptians were saying they hoped mousavi defeated ahmadinejad, the last two were thinking about hows events would effect the iranian people, not just thinking about the elections from an arab perspective, the iranian ppl in iran don't give a damn about hezbollah, lebanon, hammas and gaza, and why would they why should they put the interest of outside affairs before thier own

[seekdtruthalways]

look who is talking, yeah I looked you up Uganda, up untill 100 yrs ago you didn't know you existed you needed some westerners to tell you that you filthy baboon shut the hell up you are so inferior that dont even deserve a reply who donated a pc to this ape =))

next time shut the hell up in the society of humans

[seekdtruthalways]

just like I said you are a fagggggggggot, hence proving my point.

and watch your mouth you piece of shit red neck amurkin I bet you are not worth as much as the ASCII code I'm wasteing on you

[Stargazer206]

I agreed with part of the latter part of the video. Yes, because of imposter President Ahmadinejad, Iran has been isolated from the world. And absolutely, you need peace for diplomacy. Freedom in Iran!

[seekdtruthalways]

who do you think you are faggot

[TheInsatiableboy]

IRANIANS ARE NOT ARABS!!!

[gotSelena]

STRIKE, STRIKE, STRIKE!

[PHONZZMCextrodinaire]

[parandehdarya]

[aradinstud]

There is no freedom in Islam. Brutality, hate and killings is the way to inter the land of the 73 virgins where your dick stays hard day and night

[panti1000]

WTF are these guys talking about?

They have NO idea what Ahmadinejad is doing. He is Killing people in Iran EVERY DAY.... For what?? Just cuz ppl want freedom????????

[djbro16]

[ANTHONYDVD]

[cntrybillsfan]

THE WORLD NEEDS pEACE.

[djbro16]

the protest are peaceful.. peaceful protest.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

The protesters have a lot of guts. What would people do if someone bought an election in America? Would we be out on the streets risking our lives against the police? We would be using Twitter, but that's about it.

[nornnasvagina]

OrphanPaper, why are you blaming this all on the USA? Do you have your information correct? What you are saying is not the truth. We also do have programs set up so the poor can get health care. I don't know where you got your other information. PEACE

[OrphanPaper]

[jst4shanell]

No, not every American has 2 businesses. But I am an average American, making an average income, two businesses or not, that's not the point.

[jst4shanell]

You still have no idea what you are talking about.

[OrphanPaper]

[aradinstud]

God Bless America Allah bless the Arabs and the Muslims.

[manonthemount]

your ability to communicate ideas in english is reflective of your ability to construct ideas in your mind. think before you speak.

[acidrun]

Manothemount.. i don't really think so.. there is such a thing as not being articulate and some people cannot find the right words or the right way to say certain things and phrase their ideas the way they want. It does not mean they cannot form complex ideas in their minds.. Language does play a huge role in thought but after a certain point, it just goes to show how articulate u are and not neccessarily how complex of ideas you can form.

[cntrybillsfan]

OrphanPAPER ,,IS NOT FROM usa, SO hE SEE AND HEAR WHAT HE WANTS, CLOSE MIND. AMERICA'S WANT PEACE

NOT WAR ,,PEACE

[OrphanPaper]

so tell the  list how many years after ww2 the Usa has not been murdering some peasant group , please i'd lkove to see the names who promoted the Actions

[666isisrael]

Israel (BBC+FOX) is using Iranian YOUTH, similar 2 Pakistan against Musharaf to IMPOSE NASTY WARS.

They're triyng 2 DESTABILIZE IRAN, so US ARMY can Launch (not through Saddam or Taliban, but directly) a WAR & MURDER CIVILIANS by MILLIONS?

US ARMY is surrounding IRAN from:

- W: Iraq

- E: Afghanistan+Pakistan

- N: Turkey+ Azerbaijan

And on military issues, Obama is nobody, as we saw in Afganistan & Pakistan

After IRAN => Sudan => Egypt 2 Block NILE water on Muslims+Christans

[Jaidali]

crackpot!

[MrImmobiliere]

Better being motivated by vision of world peace than by paranoia of imminent attack. Your paranioa will make you a sheep to someone who promises security, e.g., liars.

[MrImmobiliere]

I watched the speech at 1 am California time. Supreme leader praised the youth and then said enough is enough stop all demonstrations. A religious leader's call to end all expressions of national aspiration puts and end to any leadership capability. Remember, follow the money and it ends up in the regime's bank accounts, not the peoples.

[Jaidali]

right, but doesn't it benefit rasfanjani and crew to have a president more concerned about economic development inside iran?

[MrImmobiliere]

You cannot have economic development under a theocracy. That's the most important lesson from the fall of Communism. When religious leaders or utopians control the "means of production," economic development is impossible. Development is about pragmatism - motivating people to work and innovate - by all available means. Give opportunity to the poor and encourage savings and investment. Utopianism is the antithesis of economic development.

[artin74]

you asking arabs about persians election ?

[Aryaba]

Exactly.

[bleupeony2]

I was impressed with the supreme leader's speech, or talk today. he made many good points. his approach was gentle but firm. Western media coverage is already demeaning it, using extreemly unfair adjectives to mischaracterise it.

Why does MSM need to demean some countries, and some people? What has happened to our "free press? It has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for propaganda for favored causes.

What a shame.

[Jaidali]

But he made no concessions or any kind of rapprochement as far as I've understood, so how is that good?

MSM is a reflection of cultural stereotypes and language induced worldviews presented by powers large enough to have the capacity to broadcast material on a massive scale bought and paid for by interests that want to have access to your eyeballs. At least the commercial MSM. State controlled media is another story.

[meraj1509]

what the fuck the people that your interviewing are NOT IRANIAN. they are speaking ARABIC. AGAIN WHAT THE FUCK R U DOING INTERVIEWING ARABS ABOUT IRANIAN ELECTIONS?????

[Jaidali]

But I always thought all muslims were arabic and vice versa! [/sarcasm]

However, if you read the description of the video it would enlighten you:

Cairo Bureau Chief Michael Slackman examines how the contested election in Iran is being seen from people around the Middle East.

[ChristianLove2008]

For the record, Iran is a Shitte Nation like 97%, Most muslims in the world are not Shittes, Shittes make up less than 10% of the Muslim world. They are like the Mormons of Islam. Shittes are not considered to be Muslims or Islamic by the Majority muslims they are considered to be kuffar and Heretics. Also in 0:29 the Host said "Ahmadinijad is liked" thats a lie, He is in Egypt NOT in Arabian Peninsula countries like KSA, Qatar, Bahrain, Why go to egypt and not interview in Arabian peninsula?

[Jaidali]

yes, shiites are to sunnis as protestants and presbyterians are to catholics although less numerous and viewed of somewhat harsher I imagine.

[meraj1509]

thats like saying all christen people are american or English,, no,, all Muslims are not Arabs, only the ones from Arabic country's. There are american Muslims, Iranians Muslims, Malaysian Muslims, Canadian Muslims........ would you call all them Arab too??

[meraj1509]

Iranians are Persians (Aryans) NOT Arabs

[Jaidali]

yes, I know I was being sarcastic. (hence the [/sarcasm] at the end of that sentence)

 I was trying to make fun of western ignorance on the subject.

[Jaidali]

Also, it's kind of hard to interview iranians right now if you haven't noticed, at least inside iran.

[bleupeony2]

Green is the colour used by Hamas, not Fatah. For those who believe that the so called "reform" candidate is not a hardliner, and was not involved in the massacre of students, I suggest you do some homework.

As for this vid, thanks, and thanks for the opportuniuty to comment. Al Jazeera English has forbidden comments on their vids, and that is not a good sign. When comments are not allowed, alarm bells should go off

MSM has been making Iran the evil enemy for years, so believe any bad news

[Jaidali]

iran is not evil. Their repressive govt is.

[bleupeony2]

Iran's government is not eviul compared to the US gov.

1 in 31 Americans is in prison, jail or supervised release.

We have many hundreds of military bases all over the world, as we flex our Imperial muscles, and practice Gun Boat Democracy.

We have crushed how mant Muslim states, and overthrown how many legitimate democracies?

Nakba is conducted with US full support, poth political and military, and with our full knowledge.

US Gov destroyed free press with Mockingbird ops.

[Jaidali]

I'm not even going to try to defend the us or any other neo-colonial regime, just saying the iranian regime is not good.

[ChristianLove2008]

what the hell egypt n lebanon? why couldnt you ask someone from the arabian peninsula a question about iran, they would be glad for iran to be invaded I bet, they consider iran to be an expansionist persian shia nation. and a enemy

[Jaidali]

But that would be a shock to most westerners who don't know that there is a difference between muslim faiths! *shakes head in shame*

[sexlessparents]

also , Egypt is nothing like Iran !

Egypt is an Arab nation ,Iranians are Persians.

The Majority of people are born after 1979, it's a nation of young people.

Most Iranians are not muslim fanatics ,

they are muslim but want to live in a more

open and secular society yet still has muslim roots, kind of like Turkey

The events of this election prove

that they live under a repressive regime ,

with the rigged elections

[sexlessparents]

they will keep fighting, i know people in Iran,

there are marches and rallies planed

[holesh0t]

There is no way the election results will change.
