War of Petitions
Kamangir | February 11, 2006 | Category Iran
Except for the first petition in petitiononline (see) which is about a Liberal member of parliment somewhere in Canada (see) having 12827 signatures, the four next most active ones relate to the crisis about the cartoons of the prophet.
condemn Muslims for their aggressive attitude towards freedom of the press. The petition also advocates for a multi-lingual webpage which is devoted to supporting Denmark in this crisis (see) (the webpage also comes in Persian, advertising for the logo shown here. See more banners supporting Danish here (see)).Multilingual Demonstration

I remember that when I was a child, the slogans in demonstrations were only in Persian and English. Sometimes they also included Arabic ones. You know, it depended on the nations with which we had problems. Now, they are carrying German text, too.Politics of Fun

I assure you that Iranians are not a bunch internet-addicted people. They are not having fun here either. You know, they were just chatting last night and one of them found the great idea to use these emoticons here.
Misleading Photo
Kamangir | February 11, 2006 | Category Iran
Look how a picture may be misleading. This picture shows the celebrations of the victory of the revolution in Tehran, freedom square. At the first sight, I would say these guys are Danes and Iranians who think “using atomic energy is our certain right”. Though, I am not very satisfied with this sentence; it does not seem very much to be like a slogan. By the way, that Denmark flag is there just because they thought they would need it later. So, they gave the flag to a boy and asked him to take care of it because they want to set it on fire a few hours later. And the lazy boy got excited.Politics of Photoshop

This photo is from the celeberations of the revolution in Tehran. It seems that somebody has learnt how to work with Photoshop. And also, he is a fan of movies.Racist Iranians

Yesterday, Azadeh and I were talking with Mark about the recent events and the cartoons of the prophet. We talked about the valences in Iran and how shameful we think people acted there. Then, I went, “they are doing a good move, which is obviously very late and overshadowed by the violence”. “An Iranian newspaper has announced a competition about drawing cartoons of holocaust.” Mark is a real Christian, though, I saw his face turned red. He started very slowly, and we could easily see that he is trying to not to speak very harsh. “Do you think insulting a man, how important he is, is equivalent to making jokes about the murdering of six million people?” We apologized him. After that, Azadeh and I were talking about it. I have read articles that try to prove that it was not six million but one million or a hundred thousand. Still, is it equivalent to one man, even the prophet?Don’t we know understand how it feels when your values are offended? Look at these boys’ faces. This picture is takes in Tehran in the celeberations of the victory of the revolution. These boys do not know what they are doing. I remember myself saying “Down to USA” when I was a child. That’s because the Islamic Republic regime is very efficient in influencing Iranians minds and to make them cruel. If I was a Dane, I would see the above image, my flag under people’sfeet, as a Muslim would perceive Quran being flushed out of the toilet. Do Musims tolerate this?
