Iran planning strike on Europe: analyst
Iran is attempting to draw up plans to strike targets in Europe and has reconnoitered European nuclear power stations, a security analyst told a meeting at Britain’s parliament.
Claude Moniquet, president of the European Strategic Intelligence and Security Centre, a private think-tank in Brussels, said his organisation also had evidence Tehran has increased the number of its intelligence agents across Europe.

[...] Mullahs unveiled. It’s not until the end of the first video that you see the results–a woman with a bloody but exposed face. Here’s Kamangir’s translation of what’s going on.

Translation of #6 comment by Hossein to shed some light on the misogynistic attitude of Islamists who have held true Iranian hostage with their medieval mentality and savagery:
“These whores who come to the street like this deserve worst than this. Congratulation to Ahmadinejad’s police force who god willing want to end this disgrace. These are all Rafsanjani’s and Khatami’s policies fault. Because they are “be gheyrat”, meaning, they are not savage misogynist who view and define women only as a piece of sexual organ…
Kill your Mullahs and Ayatollahs, the sooner, the better…
“These whores who come to the street like this deserve worst than this. Congratulation to Ahmadinejad’s police force who god willing want to end this disgrace.”
Poor little man. So afraid of strong, independent women; so full of impotent hate.
Well, Hossein, you’re on the wrong side of history. Iran is about to join the community of nations, and it will be the women who lead the way.
The cavemen like you will be thrown in the garbage where you belong.

Thanks for posting this.
[...] UPDATE [...]
Hossein, the whores are useful idiots who happily bend over and spread their backsides for their government. These women refuse to join you.
If you did not bend over Allah knows you would be bending these women over yourself, since dogs rut without questioning, and dogs on two legs always blame others for their own brutality.
Take the mullahs, ayatollahs, imams, and the rest of that filth and give them a taste of their own cuisine: Drag them out of their homes and mosques, beat them with sticks, and hang them — just like they like to do to others. Actually, hanging is too good for them, stone them to death instead.
Kamangir, good work, Sir!
I am a Baha’i living in Thailand, and cannot get YouTUBE here, but we do closely follow the news from Iran and the madmen running it!
Thanks for courageously taking these messages to the world. The country that persecuted, rejected and then exiled the Holy Mahdi is shown, in its actions, as empty of knowledge and devoid of love.
“Taste ye what your hands have wrought!” said The Glory of God
#15 Lesly: I see your logic, “IF she has no veil in public, THEN she MUST BE a whore. IF she is a whore, THEN she deserves beating by sexually-maladjusted, fear-enslaved males.”
I understand.
Yet you make no allowance for the societal context, the governmental mismanagement and the religious fanaticism which 1)deprive many Iranian women of sufficient funds to feed their families; 2)bar Iranian women from seeking gainful employment in non-degrading ways; and 3)push 20% of Iranian women to supplement their meager food and income by prostituting themselves on the streets of Iranian cities!
Ah, but they are not YOU, and YOU are holy, pure, clean and above such degrading actions and can we excuse you please it is time for a snack before lunch…
If this is ISLAM,no thanks,I guess I’ll go with out.
This is disgusting unhuman treatment of the public,no wonder they wear ski masks.As they say
god willing their end is comming!

That was just wrong.How can you call yourselves Muslims?.They people are not muslim they are just extremists who make up their own rules and laws which is haram to start with.Let good decide who will be punished NOT you, you people are fake Muslims and don’t know anything about Islam.I am a Muslim myself and seeing these things makes me wonder.These videos are seen all around the world and the only thing they are doing are embarrassing themselves in front of the whole world.So whoever thinks this is right you are either screwed in your head or have some sort of problems.peace

Dear Women of Iran,
Please keep up your struggle to be recognised for the human beings you are, and not the dogs so many of your ignorant males seem to think you are. Thankfully more and more Iranian men recognise that their women are their equals (and in many cases, their betters). Don’t be discouraged. The rest of the world supports you and prays to Allah that your men will see their way out of this road of darkness.
If you really are an Iranian, why is it that your website is dedicated to only the worst things you can think of about Iran? Why is it that you make no mention of what the administration before the Mullah’s did, or what happened to Dr Mossadegh? Why do you not mention ANY of the good things being done by the people of Iran? What kind of image do you think this kind of comments creates about Iranian people?
You know, just like the US or any other country, Iran has a set of politicians - some people like them, some hate them, some don’t care. If you really want to make a change, go there and get elected, then change the system. But giving all Iranians a bad name, and projecting the worst of ANY country, will only give that country a bad name.
As to the report about Iran attacking Europe, seeing that Iran has not attacked any country for the last 1000 years, and has been repeatedly attacked from outside, shows the peaceful nature of the Iranian people, who only ask that they be left alone to work out their own problems. If that was the case, Iran would have had democracy since 1953, But it is the same people who you are appealing to here, who got rid of him and put a ruthless dictator in his place to seel off the country’s assets.
So, either refrain from showing only the worst things you can find about these beautiful people (who were the most welcoming and friendly people I have ever met, when they let me visit their wonderful country), or please show the good things as well.

Great post Paul in regards to showing the good as well as bad.
There are so many sites out there by people claiming to be iranians speaking out, yet all they do is focus on the negative things about Iran in such a way that it spreads hatred of Iranian people amongst crowds who are ignorant in the first place. This kind of one sided look helps spread racism and misconceptions. If the same thing was done of a nation like the United States of America, it would probably come across as one of the most dispicable nations on earth, with all the wars, invasions, bombings of many countries, funding of cia operations around the world (irans 1953 coup, Nicaragua, Chile etc), torture, despicable actions towards prisoners including women and children (eg. abu ghraib which had children and women in it too, some of whom were raped and humiliated according to official reports), the rampant racism and islamophobic traits, the extreme right wingers wanting wars with more nations but unwilling to join the military, the christian fundamentalists wanting to take over israel in order to one day have ( the messiah come back and convert or kill all the jews, the rampant sexism and looking at women as nothing but objects for the gratification of men etc etc etc.
If only the negative parts of the US was looked at, it would come across as a horrible nation in need of outside intervention - however, people are aware of the good things about the U.S and the millions of good Americans, hence people outside of the US can see the good and bad parts of the US. Unfortunately with nations like Iran, bloggers and so called exposers only show one side of the nation and demonise and in the end hurt the iranian people, as it only forces the leadership to start walking backwards to a stricter time.
Eventually the iranian people will have the type of leadership they want, but it will not come from bombs dropped by various nations, instead it will come from the perseverance and hard work of Iranians living within Iran.

How can we watch this video? Clicking on the link of this video only opens new windows, but no video appears. Please answer as soon as possible.
Kamangir: please try this link and this link.
The police say that women who show hair or skin are inviting rape and are the cause of men’s sin (the men themselves are not responsible.)
What if a man has a posession stolen that was sitting in plain view and not locked up or hidden away. Why doesn’t shira law punish him for being responsible for causing someone else to be a thief for leaving the posession unattended?
The reason is clearly because the believers in sharia law are hipocrites.
