You are very wrong, Ahmadinejad is an embarrassment for your country. The whole world thinks he is even dumber than George W. Bush. He isn't worthy to rule over a great country with such glorious history. And neither is Khamenei or any of those fanatics who don't give a shit about their people.

You think the Islamic Republic is a democratic system? True democracy, liberty and peace can never be achieved as long as religion has a say in politics. In Europe we had to fight many wars to learn that

Ahmaghinejad is not an Iranian. He is an Arab dressing and talking like an Iranian.

This regime is not Iranian. Nothing this regime has done and still does, is Iranian.

You shut up Raminss

[truestefq]

Bullshit. The issue is not the proverb but your pathetic attempt to abuse it to apologize for religious fascism with it. And to waste my and others time with a pathetic attempt of trolling.

I have no time to discuss with an imbecile like you and this is certainly not the place. You are banned.
