    Iran is beautiful and has more historic sites then Egypt and India combined but as long as these Islamofascists are ruling us none of that matters. Imagine nazi Germany but instead of nationalism we have a fascist dictatorship based on religion. It sucks b/c at least hitler industrilized Germany.

    We went from being the 13th economy in the world at the start of the 1979 revolution and having the opportunity to host the Olympics to this. Fucking mullahs

    Im not Iranian, but i have visited Iran many times and i love its nice and caring people living in peace and harmony, progressing towards new technologies. But the enemies cant bear to see Iran's development. Therefore I can understand all these false allegations on Iranian government and people.

    They've got it downloaded in their ipod and always listen to it more than their own language, blieve it or not. But I have to agree with you about the dance, I don't like it either, but you can't argue on our culture since we're from an ancient country with culture and history.

    It's good to learn how to respect your brothers and sisters, since we're all from one parents.
