Iran vs Egypt

Society Pakistan & World Affairs
1

Iran: A small demonstration (compared to Egypt), and the west calls for the entire government to step down and have elections.

Egypt: Huge demonstrations, hundred of thousands of people across Egypt and the west calls for “reforms” but nothing more.

Further proof that democracy is beholden to Western national interests.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

^^ Demonstration in Iran were in favor of the Western aka US interest, whereas Demonstration in Northern Africa and in Yemen are against the guardian of US interest... so US is simply asking its puppets to do some reform so the demonstration can be cooled down... one important aspect which US has so far ignored ( or have not paid attention to) is these puppets have an no IQ or very little ( that is why they were puppets to begin with) and these people are/cannot withhold pressure from any side.. not even from their wives...

Re: Iran vs Egypt

The best example of hypocrisy of American government is when they invaded Iraq in order to take out the mythical WMDs.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

^ and when they invaded Afghanistan to take out binladen... lolz...
but now they are not going anywhere, actually they wont be "allowed" to go anywhere without being properly butchered. oh wait, but we don't call it hypocrisy? or probably we will call it so only when the western media first accepts it to be.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

the west could've had the presidents from yemen, tunisia step down, it seemed more like a dictatorship they've both had the luxury of being in power for 25 to 32 yrs(yemen) in office, that ain't a democracy but the west never had a problem with either of those two and in fact backed them

It's strange that Iran's protests as passionate as they were brought no change and so many died for the cause even if they had strong support from the west but Egypt's seems like the protests are bringing the country towards a change, towards a theocratic type of government.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

Because scaremongering biased media says so?

here are some slogans they are chanting

The only THEOCRATIC thing about these slogans is that in Arabic they appear like verses?

ADDENDUM: Take this as 1953’s Iran, if today’s democratic movement is crushed against Egyptians wishes, a 1979 Iranian style revolution WILL follow.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

first off "the angry arab news service’ wow what a site name!
but yea they sure hate him with a passion don’t they looking at those slogans

you think there would be a revolution? why wasn’t there a repeat of the iran revolution after the recent protests against ahmedinejad gov, i haven’t checked how violent the protests have gotten in Egypt, didn’t get the chance but looking at the slogans it does look pretty bad.

Re: Iran vs Egypt

When I said 1979 Iranian style revolution will follow, I meant in Egypt. Egyptians now are revolting because of injustice, corruption and for their rights in their own country (irrespective of religion). If they don't get MORAL support from "west" because "Mubarak, despite being a dictator, keeps/kept the region stable", then it will only increase anti-west sentiments among young Egyptians (perfect breeding ground for extremism).

Yeah " the angry Arab news service" is rather unusual name, but you can see those banners, hear those slogans yourself on youtube, BBC, CNN, Guardian, Daily mail etc etc. I gave this link because they have English translation of each slogan there. In newspapers you will only see Arabs holding banners with "verses" written on them and Islamic chants in Arabic, of course. :)
