Demonstrantene slår til igjen

2009-12-27T12:01:00.000-08:00

Her er videon VG skrev om i dag. Svært sterke scener, og dette er ganske uhørt egentlig, har ikke hørt lignende ting skje før - noe som sier om hvordan ting har utviklet seg i Iran i det siste. Dessverre ble de arrestert igjen etterpå..

Iran in uproar!

2009-12-27T11:18:00.000-08:00

I'm supposed to be writing me thesis that is due in two weeks, but I've been glued to the computer screen all day.

There are some unbelievable scenes coming out of Iran today, I feel that the regime is literally shaken to its bone.

Mousavi's niece has been killed, and in total 8 people have been reported dead so far, with half of the casualties in the northwestern city of Tabriz.

There's not much to say, something big is in the making, and we might just see this barbaric regime fall soon.

My hope is a secular democratic Iran. The whole world would benifit greatly from it.

Fereydoun Hoveyda

H.E. Fereydoun Hoveyda 1924-2006

From Aryamehr:

Iran has lost yet another worthy statesman; His Excellency Fereydoun Hoveyda, UN Ambassador of Imperial Iran.

People like Hoveyda's, Bakhtiar's, Farokhzad's, Rahimi's..... are simply one of a kind; they don't make men like that anymore it seems.

My condolences go out to his family and friends. God bless him.

I did not hear of this until today, and this is sad news indeed. It feels as if only good people perish, while the evil masters of the islamic republic prevail. I refuse to accept this, and I am confident that the memory of these men, men like H.E. Hoveyda, will shine and create a new generation of Iranians who cherish their nation above religion, and are prepared to fight for a brighter future for the Land of Aryans, Iran.

May you rest in peace Your Excellency.

The Stupidity

2006-11-11T08:10:00.000-08:00

Tabari IX:113 "Allah permits you to shut them in separate rooms and to beat them, but not severely. If they abstain, they have the right to food and clothing. Treat women well for they are like domestic animals and they possess nothing themselves. Allah has made the enjoyment of their bodies lawful in his Qur'an."

Makes me want to throw up.

Quote of the Month

2006-11-10T11:53:00.000-08:00

Due to the lack of activity on my part these recent weeks, I will post another quote that I cherish.

"In total, everything that Iranians do on a daily basis is outlawed and the way people live their lives is illegal. Perhaps there is no other country in the world where there is such a cultural gulf between the people and its rulers."

- Younessa: "An Illegal Existence"

True "Parasites"

2006-10-17T07:38:00.000-07:00

"Historical precedent aside, the present Shiite Iran is home to over 300,000 mullahs. The most descriptive term for mullah is "parasite." A mullah begins his career as a parasite, lives as a parasite and dies as a parasite, simply because he contributes absolutely nothing to the necessities of life, yet gobbles disproportionately more of whatever resources he can grab. "

En herlig innledning til Amil Imanis artikkel om parasittene i Iran.

Nothing New on the Horizon

2006-10-16T06:44:00.000-07:00

Javel, ingenting nytt av verdi har skjedd. Ingenting som er verdt å kommentere. Ingenting irriterer meg noe vesentlig for tiden. Jo, bortsett fra at ledelsen ISFiT er en gjeng med venstrepopulistiske aper som for mitt blod å koke. I det seneste nummeret av Under Dusken står det at dem har fått for seg at dem skal invitere Venezuelas President Hugo Chavez til ISFiT '07. Denne stygge lille populistiske tullingen er faktisk en så stor helt av ISFiTs ledelse at dem har lyst å invitere ham til byen for å høre hans "meninger". Men ISFiT er lure nok til å påstå at dem ikke tar noen stilling i forhold til Herr Chavaz's meninger, og bare synest at det vil være "interessant" å høre denne mannens meninger. Lurer på hvor mange stående ovasjoner denne mongoen får når har spyr ut eder og galle foran et heltent publikum med politisk korrekte palestinaskjerf og buttons med "Fuck Bush" osv. Kremen av de intellektuelle i Norge med andre ord. Det er også verdt å nevne at Venezuela har ingått en allianse med den Islamske republikken, og at Venezuela har lovet å bistå Iran militært dersom landet blir invadert. For en vits. Skammelig at ISFiT i det hele tatt vurderer å invitere denne mannen. Men det avslører bare deres politiske farge. Jeg som trudde ISFiT skulle være noenlunde politisk nøytral.

Food for Thought

2006-10-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate. All are free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief. At the same time that our Constitution prohibits state establishment of religion, it protects the free exercise of all religions. And walking this fine line requires government to be strictly neutral."

—Ronald Reagan

Start up!

Greetings earthlings!

Da er jeg mer eller mindre i gang. Jeg har tenkt å bruke denne bloggen til å lufte mine tanker angående det meste. De som kjenner meg vet at Iran kommer til å fange en betydelig del av min oppmerksomhet. Men også spørsmål av mer lokal karakter kommer til å bli kommentert.

Jeg vil veksle mellom Engelsk og Norsk, og jeg har valgt å skrive på bokmål! :P

Velkommen tilbake!
