Latest reports on Twitter is that no Iranians are now on Twitter.

That is not good news.

I’m afraid the whole purpose of this sham election was to make it easy for the regime to identify the Enemies of the State.

I am convinced that the vast majority of people under the age of 35 in the Middle East hate Islam and want real freedom

Why the hell should Persians be Islamic anyhow? Mohammed the Pedophile Prophet was an Arab from Arabia. Is there any hope in the future that these folks can be brought into Christendom?

Ok, some twitter from Iran again, not good news though

DanBlankenship: AhmadiN has revoked all permits of the foreignmedia& has instructed them2stp reporting or they will face jailtime #IRANelection Twitter - 49 secs ago

Sounds to me as if they want no witnesses to what they are about to do to the citizens.

About 2% of people are a religion other than Islam. Article 13 of the Iranian Constitution recognizes the right of "People of the Book", including Christians to exercise their religion freely.

Iran recognizes the 13th Article about like our Leftist recognize the 2d Amendment.

That’s exactly how I felt last night.

I never cared one whit for twitter, then as I saw this unfold with each tweet it reminded of watching communism fall across eastern europe.

Plus - watching these kids defy the whacko regime by twittering is damn cool.

I think they must be using “right” to mean “bad,” as the media usually does in America.

I knew young Iranians thirty years ago who said that even though they were Muslims, their behavior in private was western.
