Derafsh Kaviani

We raise this flag of defiance to show respect for and solidarity with the American people.

We salute those who died on 9/11 and want to warn Americans of the evil which lives among us.

As the flag flew over the United Nations where Cyrus' charter - the first human rights charter in the world - rests, and on over Ground Zero and ultimately Lady Liberty, onlookers were reminded of the Star Spangled Banner:

"What so proudly we hailed...." and "Gave proof through the night, that our flag was still there...."

And yes, so is ours - the flag known as the Derafshe Kavian.

We now call on Iranians to renew their pride in their ancient culture and to rise once more, as their ancestors rose against legendary demons and conquerors, to establish an Iranian nation that is truly free.

Who the heck are you? why don't you state you are a bastard son of arabian rape?

The Derafsh is NOT a Sasani Flag! It's very much older than the Sasani period. It was used throughout the history by Iranian Dynasties including the Sasanis.

By the way it was after the defeat of the Persian Empire (Sasani period) which the Arab invaders of Iran took this Derafsh which was decorated with precious jewelry and gold. The arabs removed the precious stones and gold from it and cut it to pieces!

It's not an "Iranian Flag" you dumb bitch. God I hate these reporters.

It's a Sassanian Flag used as a national flag in a time when Iran was NOT Islamic and a completely different society altogether.

Calling it an "Iranian Flag" is like calling the Swastika a "German Symbol"

You're a true patriot- if only more Americans had the same enthusiasm for defending the sanctity and honor of their homeland. You're clearly a man of passion and vision.
