Let me be the first to say NO. I don’t follow would be Islamic apologist. I want to be clear, freedom is good, protest for freedom is great but Mousavi is not denouncing the ideology and only wants power. Again I say, NO
Think I’ll get some green out.
It’s a nice gesture, but keep in mind Mousavi’s green is the color of Islam.
And Mousavi is still Ahmadinejad-lite.
Hopefully, though, the revolution in Iran will see the complete downfall of the Theocracy, and the birth of true secular democracy there.
That would be useful.
Simply replacing Ahmadinejad with Mousavi and keeping the Ayatollahs and the “Supreme Leader” would not be.
It is believed that each color of the 4 Pan-Arab Colors represent a certain Arab Dynasty or era: the Black was the color of the flag of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, while white was taken by the Umayyads to be their Symbol, as a reminder of the Battle of Badr, Green was taken by the Fatimids to symbolize their support to Ali Bin Abi Talib, while red was the flag held by the Khawarij, and then became the symbol of rulers in North Africa and Al-Andalus.
No thanks.
“We are Human not Hooligan” would be a good tagline.
I support the Iranians and wear an Iran flag ping (old flag, with lion). I do not support the person of Musavi. He is IMO just the vehicle to break up the system.
Do we know whether this violent protest is really pro-Mousavi or simply anti-theocratic regime or even just anti-corruption?
It’s not clear to me that we should color ourselves green until we know this.
Mousavi sails into sun, searchung for sea of green...
Many of those civil rights protesters in the 1960’s put Obammie in office.
Where are they now?
Where is he now?
Oh, that's right, it was only an anti-establishment movement, topple those in power and replace them with leftists...who are the enemy of civil rights.
Whatever happens THE ONE will claim it is all good and he is responsible for it.
What the US and NATO need to do is to tell the Islamic Republican Guards to either stay out of this or face military action against the IRCG and other regime targets. Any mass action against protesters will be met with a swift response.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! Moussavi is a pawn of the mullahs just like Ahmadinejihad. Any support I’d offer would be for the Iranians born after 1979. The rest can go to hell.
Of course the removed section might have been propaganda. Or maybe the removal is.
This is a start. At the protesters are inspired.
This is the start of the end of the coutrol by nutjob and the mullahs.
