Subtitled version of "INJA KOJAST INJA IRAN AST SARZAMINE MANO TO" (link below) - a woman speaking about the state of her country while filming the rooftop shouting of "Allah-o Akbar" in Iran on Friday June 19th, This was after Khamenei said in his Friday prayer that the crackdown on protesters would begin.

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

let everyone remember that one islam is not the problem its the government

tthe government uses the religion and gods name to do this stuff otherwise the religion isnt like that

the problem is the government not the religion

@anandshah80 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.

@anandshah80 I feel sooo sorry for you, coz you see culture in music and dance?!!!! u're such a strange individual! and by the way, I'm persian byt I don't have even 1 iranian friend; they're all foreigners and trust me, all of them except my best friend LOVE persian music.
