... Her family scheduled a memorial service to be held in a mosque in northern Tehran, but the government forbade ceremony, and she was buried quietly on Sunday ... All mosques were given a direct order from the government barring them from holding any memorial services for Neda, and her family was threatened with grave consequences if anyone gathered to mourn her... Now reformist presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi, one of the leaders of the democratic protests in Tehran, has called for a Thursday night memorial service for all protesters who have been killed to be held at the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran... Not only is that not right, but according to Islamic tradition it is immoral and improper, so they are essentially breaking one of their own laws out of fear."

Islam is lower than dog poop in the hierarchy of religions. Who in their right mind would want to join such a cruel, vindictive and petty cult?
The tide is turning, and the monsters will pay...
So young. So beautiful. So sad.
“Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, but have not thought. All we ought to have said, but have not said. All we ought to have done but have not done. I pray thee, God, for forgiveness.”
In my opinion Neda lived her last moments ‘WELL’ and I hope that such courage would find a finial reward no matter what one’s faith was!
I only hope I can do as well, because I truly believe what we are seeing is a foreshadowing of what you will soon see here in American. Obama and his ACORN and ‘brown shirts’ are no different than these Mullahs,Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chávez or even Kim Jong il, a thug is a thug no matter their nationality and what we are watching will soon force us to play out these same scenes. Ask yourself will you have the same courage?
Well, my hat’s off to a young woman who stood up to tyrany and died demanding the basic human desires of justice and freedom.
bttt
Best part of the entire movie.
Her death will not be in vain. This is going to haunt the mullahs. They have killed ten thousands of women, but this murder’s cold-bloodedness and publicity will be part of their own undoing.
RIP Neda... such a beautiful young woman.
An undated picture posted on the Internet shows Iranian Neda Agha Soltan, who was reportedly killed when hit by a bullet in the heart during a protest in Tehran.

WARNING GRAPHIC
This isn't even about Islam. It's about tyranny. Note the government forbade her to have a funeral ceremony at a mosque.
Islam is not a religion. It is a political system.
"Who in their right mind would want to join such a cruel, vindictive and petty cult?"
Convicted felons in prison, seem to be the major recruits. Otherwise, most Mohammedans are unfortunate enough to be born into it, and they can't ever leave, under punishment of death.
That's one way to "keep 'em down on the farm".
Misogynistic men.
May the mullahs of Iran swing from liberty’s tree.
I agree. This is about an age old struggle of a people sick of an oppresive government clinging to power by any means. The religion is a red herring here.
She was privately going unveiled. She therefore cannot have been a devout muslim.
The image with veil is an official photograph, veils being mandatory.
She was born into mohammedanism.
The Lord knows His own; and I entrust her soul to His mercy.
