    Iran will not be Islamized. It is in Iranian blood to be free. Iran was established on basis of human rights not savagery. Shahnameh is my proof. We will never accept this chain of barbaric ideology of darkness. Religion is fine to be practiced in private (between one and his or her God). But, Iran is land of wisdom and light filled with music and poetry of light and love. Iran is land of free under its people’s rules. Islamic Occupier in Iran have not yet understood this fact so they are still brutalizing us as the first day of their slaughtering 1429 years ago.

    Babak: Exactly. The fundamentals of democracy practices and was pioneered in Iran more than 3000 years ago, wherein inspired the Greeks and others later. A good book on that is by Abbas Milani, “Lost Wisdom”; Rethinking Modernity

    the reference to “the trained police and his laptop” reminded me of the new nonsense commentary hoder has written in the Guardian site.

    I am ashamed and i am sorry. The cars on the picture look exactly like old german police cars… For this I am sorry. Germany shouldn’t deal with reigning regime of what once was proud Persia.

    Kamangir: I think they are a type of Benz.
