Confirming The Basij Murder Of Neda

An email explaining the incident:

"At 19:05 June 20th Place: Karekar Ave., at the corner crossing Khosravi St. and Salehi st.

A young woman who was standing aside with her father watching the protests was shot by a basij member hiding on the rooftop of a civilian house.

He had clear shot at the girl and could not miss her. However, he aimed straight her heart.

I am a doctor, so I rushed to try to save her.

But the impact of the gunshot was so fierce that the bullet had blasted inside the victim's chest, and she died in less than 2 minutes.

The protests were going on about 1 kilometers away in the main street and some of the protesting crowd were running from tear gass used among them, towards Salehi St.

The film is shot by my friend who was standing beside me. Please let the world know."

MEK was founded in 1963 by a group of college-educated Iranian leftists—supporters of Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadeq—opposed to the country’s pro-Western ruler, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The group participated in the 1979 Islamic revolution that replaced the shah with a Shiite Islamist regime led by the Ayatollah Khomeini. But MEK’s ideology, a blend of Marxism, feminism, and Islamism, put it at odds with the post-revolutionary government, and its original leadership was soon executed by the Khomeini regime. In 1981, the group was driven from its bases on the Iran-Iraq border and resettled in Paris, where it began supporting Iraq in its eight-year war against Khomeini’s Iran. In 1986, after France recognized the Iranian regime, MEK moved its headquarters to Iraq, which used MEK to harass neighboring Iran. MEK maintained its headquarters in Iraq until the American invasion in 2003 when many members surrendered their weapons.

WASHINGTON - At least four Americans held hostage in the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran said on Thursday they recognized Iran’s president-elect as one of the ringleaders from the crisis, a claim denied in Tehran.

In interviews with U.S. television networks, retired Navy Capt. Donald Sharer and Bill Daugherty, said they were convinced Iran’s ultra-conservative President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was one of their Iranian captors.

“He wasn’t a very nice fellow at the time. He called us pigs and dogs. He’s very hard-line, he’s a guy we are not going to get along with,” said Sharer in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America” show.

Study history. If you are supporting these “freedom fighters” you are supporting sworn enemies of the United States of America, and sworn enemies of mine.

In the Beirut barracks bombing (October 23, 1983 in Beirut, Lebanon) during the Lebanese Civil War, two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon—killing 299 servicemen, including 220 U.S. Marines. The organization Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing, but that organization is thought to have been a nom de guerre for Hezbollah—or a group that would later become part of Hezbollah[1]—receiving help from the Islamic Republic of Iran.[2]

Suicide bombers detonated each of the truck bombs, and the explosives used at the Marine barracks were equivalent to 5,400 kg (12,000 pounds) of TNT. Two minutes later, a similar attack levelled the eight-story ‘Drakkar’ building, killing 58 French paratroopers from 1er RCP (Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes). In the attack on the American barracks, the death toll was 241 American servicemen: 220 Marines, 18 Navy personnel and three Army soldiers, along with sixty Americans injured, representing the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima of World War II, the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States military since the first day of the Vietnam War’s Tet Offensive, and the deadliest single attack on Americans overseas since World War II

The death of this little Shiite tool means nothing to me.

G*D killed a kitten because of your post.

As your death will mean nothing to me.

Want to bet Neda's death will mean something to more people than yours.

Good job falling for the Marxist MEK line. Hezbullah thanks you. They take and kill an innocent to excite the snuff flick aficionados and you attack me. Good job.

BS. I guess most of FR is your sworn enemy then. These Iranian students are not the same students that overthrew the Shah and supported the MeK and Hezbollah. Why should we hold them responsible for what their parents did? If your father shoots someone, are you automatically responsible? This has nothing to do with the MeK. Just because the MeK is anti-mullah that does not mean everyone who hates the mullahs is on the payroll of the MeK. It is human nature to want freedom after living under an oppressive regime, and to assume that every person out on the streets protesting is not doing so because they want freedom but rather because each and every one of them is an MeK supporter is ridiculous. The election was the long-awaited catalyst for the revolt. This is from an Iranian blog: “Amir, Mashhad, aged 23: Please let the world know the people of Iran are using the election and its outcome as an excuse, their real problem is the whole system and the corrupt regime of the Islamic Republic. Anything that happens to us is because of this religion. How can I make you understand, religious beliefs are personal and should not be enforced on the public.”

I've talked to many FReepers who have travelled to and lived in Iran and they all say the people are tired of the mullahcracy, are not rabidly anti-American, and are actually rather cultured and educated. The students in the big cities drink alcohol, listen to Western music, and have a taste for Western culture. They are not terrorists nor Marxists.

Here's a video to silence the trolls (and those whose personal agenda made them willing accomplices) who here on FR called the Neda videos frauds.

The youtube title used for the link speaks for itself. Notice that they were merely viewing (possibly cheering) from the side a peaceful procession of demonstrators

Iranian girl and her dad moments before being shot dead

Surprisingly, I saw this about an hour ago on CNN along with the graphic video of Neda initially going down from the shot. I then flushed it out on youtube to post.

Fine. Let them name their affiliation. A drunk Shiite is not my friend. I do not know where you received the authority to speak for most of FR. This is an open forum for the exchange of conservative ideas. The MEK is not conservative. Iranian Shiite Hezb'ullah is not compatible with American conservatism. They are sworn enemies, and if you and FR are here to support their cause, link them up tough guy!

I have read just about every thread with the tag “iran” on it over the past week and observed the posters’ opinions about the Iranian protests. That’s how I’m gauging the general FR opinion.

And if Neda’s death means nothing to you, fine, your sad excuse for an opinion means nothing to me.

And I’m not a guy.

Good bye.

Trust me, if I had my way it would be copper clad molten lead; followed with WP. Shiite Iranians must renounce their "death to America" ways and pay penance for three generations. Then I might get all kumbaya. On second thought, no. When Shia islam ceases to exist as a recognized governance; I might cease to ridicule, castigate, and demean them. Yet as a proud American I shall never allow any to forget the horrors and death that Iranian Shiite Hezb'ullah have perpetrated upon the United States of America.

Do you have any evidence of the protestors being in any way associated with MEK?

If not, you are slandering and trolling. On almost every thread you make the suggestion that the MEK are the only anti-regime group and identify all the protestors with them.

Also why on earth do you blame the protestors for regime crimes? Trolling much?

Any evidence that the protestors are "MEK" or "Hezbullah" (two entirely separate and hostile groups)

This is an open forum for the exchange of conservative ideas.

Trolling and making up stuff is not conservatism.
