Show your support for Iran :)

Well, I did a search for Iran on this board and I can't believe some of the comments that people are posting. It's actually sad how little knowledge some people have. Anyways, this post only concerns people that are following up on the news of the situation in Iran right now, so if you don't have a clue, press the Back button and kindly leave this topic. However, if you do have knowledge of the situation, I have created a website which wiill soon be released as well as a poster about the revolution going on in Iran right now. If you're interested, please spread this poster wherever you see fit. Thank you and please leave feedback. :)

REVOLUTION POSTER

It's sad how many people in Iran have progressive attitudes and dispositions towards democracy and Western culture, but you wouldn't know it from the extremist government in place. I don't know much about the election, if it was rigged or not, but even if it's just a matter of too much power in the hands of a few arcane elitests who are out of touch with their people, well that is just as bad as outright electioneering.

It shouldn't be the tail that wags the dog, and it shouldn't take the brutal slam dance of protest/riot control to make people heard. I really feel for the people of Iran. Whatever comes of this, I hope no more lives get lost.

I saw video of that poor girl. It was horrible.

no. there wont be a revolution. that is just wishful thinking on our partBayAreaX

Also, they cracked down on the protests. They are pretty much over.Statutory_AP3

Haha, no they haven't. It's a revolution, you can't put down 70 million people.

It is a revolution. I can't believe how ignorant some people on GS are.

Thank you for your support. :)

This is NOT just a protest about a rigged election, it's about the government of Iran controlling the country and it's people since 1979. The people of Iran want freedom and peace in a democracy lifestyle.

the election happened and now the loser is crying and becuase it didnt go the way the west would have liked the media is just sitrring up rubbish if there is a re-count and he's confirmed as a loser again then whats he going to do?NSR34GTR

The election was rigged, and you need to do some research. Ahmadenejad does NOT represent Iran or it's people, and is just a puppet of Khomenei, which you obviously do not know who he is. This is a revolution for freedom and peace for the Iranian people, not just the election.

That's because the Iranian people do not have guns since guns are banned for the citizens. The only people with guns are the people in the government and do you know what they are lighting on fire? They are lighting the property of the government, not random things. Go do some research, this is a revolution.

They live in a democracy. Its an Islamic republic. They have democracy the exact same they have here. If the other guy was elected, it would be the exact same thing. Also, they did crack down on it.Statutory_AP3

They live in a Theocratic Democracy. The Supreme Leader was not elected by the People, and he controls everything. The President is just a puppet for his agenda.

Haha, you are seriously funny. A Police force and military do not have the power to put down 70 million people. The Iranian people have waited for over 20 years for a day such as this. The government of Iran has ruined the country since Shah was removed from power back in 1979.

It's a revolution and people have been waiting for over 20 years to go against their own government for all the torture and corruptness they have done to the country and it's people.

Exactly.

The Iranian people started the revolutoin themselves, and all of the videos and photos you see are from the citizens of Iran. The only thing the media is doing is reporting on this to the world.

I can't believe how ignorant you are. The problem IS THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC. The people of Iran DO NOT want that. Go do some research.

It's a revolutoin, same thing happened in 1979's revolution. People threw rocks, yelled on the rooftops about how brave God is and fought for their rights.

And Ahmadinejad is part of that, which is why this revolution started in the first place.

He does have support, that's why they are part of the Islamic Republic. I can assure you that over 90% of the Iranian people do not support him and want change. Go do some research, I'm getting tired of saying this.

70 million people aren't protesting... if that many were, the revolution would already be over. A revolution is not protesting what is right, a revolution is a complete and sudden change in government. 2009 is not 1977 (yet)

[QUOTE="Statutory_AP3"] Right, some people don't get this. It isn't a revolution, its civil unrest at most, like in Greece. And people weren't calling it a revolution. They are the exact same thing.NSR34GTR

No, that was people removing Shah from power in the name of Islam and then the Islamic Republic took over ever since then.

[QUOTE="gamesock"] The media hasn't done anything. The Iranian people are doing it all by themselves. If you've been watching, you'll see that the Iranian people are forcing the revolution themselves and media like CNN, Fox, etc barely has reported anything but what the government sends them and amateur videos from protesters. There won't be a re-count because the Supreme Leader won't back down on his word.NSR34GTR
