Oceans of love from New York

@fireit2me Dude you even dont know Iranians are not Arabs, so just shut your mouth. Iranians love her, but not the government. government in Iran is in minorities and it is miles and miles away from people. That Islamic regime does not represent iranians...

[fireit2me]

When something is banned that means it is powerful. It then becomes a little easier to understand. In your country and all over the arab world, women are feared. Ask yourself why.

You are not told to cover up your bodies and faces and stop singing and freely expressing yourselves because you are not liked. It is the opposite. Men kill the things they love. They do this because they believe that just one flash of your eye will weaken them. But true strength is the embodiment of Yin and Yang.

You go ahead and sing Masha.. I do not believe that God would forbid beauty and he hem self is beautiful and magnificent. The instrument which you play is the most beloved instrument to the prophet.

Banned female voice, that to me sums up the Islamic Republic, you ban half of the population in expressing themselves. The only place Islam should be is in my ASS!
