I hope this isn't another Arab Spring, but the songs are beautiful.

It’s quality music, with inspiring words and a decent video.

Thanks for posting, Eleutheria5.

Its not an Arab Spring. The Iranians aren’t Arabs they’re Persians. Their govt was kidnapped by a bunch of theocratic Arab nut jobs.

I’m aware of the difference. But there are so many Iranians who’ve been raised not just with Islam, but the nut-jobbiest Islam imaginable, and they very well might make Iran suck again. The paradigm throughout the Islamic world is that modernizers are the “heretics,” and the goat-smelly beardos are the “reformers”. Hopefully, the past 47 years have permanently put paid to that paradigm, but everyone thought that Kemal Ataturk’s Turkey (also not Arabs) would permanently take, and here we are. For that matter, Egyptians are not really Arabs, nor are Syrians. Yet after the “Arab Spring” in Egypt went sproi-oi-oing!, everyone voted in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and Syria’s “Arab Spring” continues to plague the world.

That’s not happening. The Iranians hate the mullahs worse than we do. They’ve all spent 45 years hating the mullahs. Iranians are secular and very westernized. That’s why you see millions of them out in the street chanting for Reza Pahlavi.

One would assume and hope. But this is the Middle East. Believe when you see, and even then, be careful. Mahyar Tousi may want to open the first pub in Tehran, but I’m staying in Israel where it’s as safe as it gets.
