Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
Do the Iranian public think what the popular media tells us? Take a look at this very interesting study. The results are quite conculsive:

And considering the jovial mood in this thread so far, I would definately share this one. Subtitiles are quite small so they require a bit of effort to read them. Enjoy!

Because Muslims are better off under the control of unelected 'Supreme Leaders'?
Not Muslims. It is Western enemies of Muslims, the Zionists and their supporters, who are better off Muslim countries under the control of unelected 'Supreme Leaders'.
doghlay kaheen ke.
I hope to see Mousavi win but I also hope that Iran continue with its anti-Zionist policies.

Now this is a Muslim government response we are use to!

Iranian lawmakers condemn protests; call for execution of leaders
Tehran, Iran (CNN) – Iranian lawmakers denounced Monday’s protests in Tehran and called for the execution of two opposition leaders for inciting the demonstrations, Iran’s state-run Press TV reported Tuesday.
Members of the Iranian parliament issued fiery chants against opposition leaders and former presidential candidates Mehdi Karrubi and Mir Hossein Moussavi.
Press TV aired video Tuesday of lawmakers chanting “Moussavi, Karrubi … execute them.”
Lawmakers also named former President Mohammad Khatami in some of the death chants.
The calls for the leaders’ executions come after a particularly deadly month in Iran. At least 66 people were executed in January, according to Iranian media reports. Most of the executions were reportedly carried out for drug offenses, although at least three involved political prisoners, a U.N. statement said.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay expressed alarm earlier this month over the number of executions.

Wheres the UN when you really need them…
The UN is a joke. 
Seriously sometimes it makes you think who is running this show… theres nothing United about the United Nations.
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
... theres nothing United about the United Nations.
There is 'United States' written all over 'United Nations'.
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
^ Exactly… so much for fairness and equality. 
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
^
Can you two stick your head any deeper in the sand? The Iranian lawmakers just called for the execution of the leaders of the protesters. Maybe the Jews made them say that?
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
^bro, "Marg bar Musawi" is akin to us chanting in Urdu "Nawaz Sharif Murdabad". You have to be quite a literalistic to believe that this chant means execute Mir Hussein Musawi.
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
^ It's these same Zionist cowboys who were crying out loud that Ahmedinejad wants to destroy Israel out of oblivion, or that he thinks there are no gays in Iran.
Saying "murg bar somebody" is similar to saying "Down with somebody". It does not mean one wants to kill someone else.
The following comment is a joke:
Now this is a Muslim government response we are use to!
But calling for execution and massacre is the American Christian way. We saw it in Iraq and we saw it in Lebanon and Palestine.
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest

The Zionists did make you to attack Iraq for no reason.
Re: Iran Cracks Down on Opposition to Thwart Protest
khoji, you’re being way too nice. America didn’t just “attack” Iraq. The American Christians have been destroying Iraq and it’s people since at least 1990. Remember when their wonderful Secretary of State Albright said that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was “worth it”? If Ahmadinejad or any Iranian brown Muslim person said something similar to that effect, persons like underthedome, would never stop their whining.
Please just pay a little bit of attention to the human rights abuses and hypocrisy in your own country. Don’t forget to incessantly chant “ooh, ess, ehhh, ooh, ess, ehh” either.

In what will surely be recorded as a historical moment of US government brutal human rights hypocrisy and possibly a sales boost for Vets For Peace t-shirt sales, at Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s speech at George Washington University Tuesday, condemning human rights violations by governments that arrest protesters and prevent free expression, police assaulted 71-year-old Ray McGovern and jailed him for standing peacefully as he listened to her. McGovern was wearing a Vet for Peace t-shirt. This latest demonstration of US crackdown on dissent has resulted in the nation’s top human rights leaders condemning Tuesday’s U.S. police brutality.
“Hillary Clinton talks of freedom without pause while watching Ray McGovern be beat up by guards/goons. Freedom is one of those things only appropriate for the ‘others,’ not Americans. A real class act,” stated Stephen Soldz of Psychologists for Social Responsibility and Director, Center for Research, Evaluation, and Program Development Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis.
Wednesday, Partnership for Civil Justice (PCJ) released a statement about the assault on McGovern and asked that it be posted on Facebook.
According to PCJ, McGovern “was assaulted grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes, brutalized and left bleeding in jail.”
Clinton never paused speaking according to PCJ.
"When Secretary Clinton began her speech, Mr. McGovern remained standing silently in the audience and turned his back. Mr. McGovern, a veteran Army officer who also worked as a C.I.A. analyst for 27 years, was wearing a Veterans for Peace t-shirt.
"Blind-sided by security officers who pounced upon him, Mr. McGovern remarked, as he was hauled out the door, “So this is America?” Mr. McGovern is covered with bruises, lacerations and contusions inflicted in the assault.
"Mr. McGovern is being represented by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF). “It is the ultimate definition of lip service that Secretary of State Clinton would be trumpeting the U.S. government’s supposed concerns for free speech rights and this man would be simultaneously brutalized and arrested for engaging in a peaceful act of dissent at her speech,” stated attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard of the PCJF.
Mr. McGovern works for Tell the Word publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of the Saviour in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C.
