God, please let this be true.
More accurately:
Iran's Grand PooBahs will TRY TO shut them down.
No telling how successful they will be, nor what price any success, or failure, will extract.
Jimmuh carter is deeply saddened.
Hmmmm, maybe Trump should send carter as a peace emissary?...
“Persians and Indians call themselves Aryans long before a lunatic Austrian came about and made it a Germanic race issue.”
That’s a fact.
Good Work !
Thanks for the posting of these maps identifying the various ethnic and linguistic regions of Iran which is quite diverse.
Last 3+ years I've been focused in Syria. Made some great friendships there.
The region (Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria) is heavily interconnected. Many very complex relationships. Volatile to say the least.
Back to the glory of Persia before Islam.
...
But Fake News said the protests were about the economy.
Correction: MSM [does not] want to deal with
I can see the headlines now, “Trump supports Nazi Sympathizers in Iran”
For yrs Iran has had the largest revival of people coming to Christ in the world, that is the force behind this!
Zoroasterism believes in two Gods—The God of light and good and the God of Darkness and lies. You can see which one is Allah! At one time Zoroasters teaching rivialed Christian message. A small group of believers are scattered all over the Iranian Nation and India.
As far as the words and their translation, it is true - Aryan we are, an Arab we do not worship.
Those are some extremely brave youth in Iran today.
We should all pray for them. I want to pray for G-d’s protection on them, though I know the most I can expect is that G-d give them peace as His will determines.
In the 1980’s I worked with an Iranian electrical engineer; smart guy. He went back home around the time of the Iran/Iraq war to see his father who was dying of cancer. While there he got his draft notice so he immediately went to the airport to leave. At the airport they held him in custody to see if his name was on the draft roster. The roster was a day or two old so his name was not there so he was allowed to leave. He said if his name had been on the roster they would have taken him out back and shot him. His medical student brother had to pay lots of money to get smuggled over the mountains to Turkey and back to the US.
They could start by changing the name of their country: The Islamic Republic of Iran.
Historical name for a region roughly coterminous with modern Iran. The term was used for centuries, chiefly in the West, and originally described a region of southern Iran formerly known as Persis or Parsa. Parsa was the name of an Indo-European nomadic people who migrated into the area c. 1000 BC; the use of the name was gradually extended by the ancient Greeks and other Western peoples to apply to the whole Iranian plateau. The people of Iran have always called their country Iran, and in 1935 the government requested that the name Iran be used instead of Persia. (Britannica.com)
To an outside such as us Zoroasterism looks totally dualistic, I have been told by practicing Parsees that that’s really not the case. Ahura-Mazada is superior to their supreme bad guy (Name escapes me at the moment!)
I wasn’t going to argue with them it would have been rude!
It doesn’t proselytize and is not violent toward other faiths. All of that would be a huge improvement over what they have now!
