Thanks for publishing of my three comments on this topic.
Now what Happened in Iran?
Slowly mass protesters are coming back to normal.
All these upraising against Heads are temporary.
Now political fire was stopped.
They have to wait for next 4 years for if, and lapses happens.

Doesn’t Islam also say; One should believe in all God’s Religions and Prophets? By you calling USA and Israel enemy based on religion you technically are wrong according to Islam…

The elderly fundamentalists in Iran have been overwhelmed by majority reformists born in the 80s of the past century. Thanks to the 8 years’ Iran-Iraq war. Now the voice for democracy is finally heard in this old conservative regime which could no longer abort the free flow of information. Thanks to the internet.

This is a proxy server blog set up to help information flow to and from the Iranian people. It includes information on how to treat tear gas/lye/chemical injuries, information on embassies willing to take injured demonstrators, information and Google Earth images on which areas of Tehran to avoid due to heavy Basiji activity, statements from Iranian and American officials and Mousavi, reports from sources within Iran, translations of Iranian and American Twitters from Farsi to English (and vice versa) as well as information on how to help Iranian demonstrators avoid misinformation and propaganda.

Please help spread the word.

What makes this guy “supreme”? He bleeds when cut, eat when hungry like every single one of us….I say to hell with him and anybody like him…It’s easy to go against unarmed civilians, I wonder what would happen if the odds were even.

Very regret to say that,Iran is still burning.
Govt.had firmly ruled out for any recounting or cancelling election results.
Newsweek Reporter was arrested.
BBC Correspondent was asked to pack to London.
I wrote two comments on these issues,and requested to Iranian Government not to curtail their professional ethics.
All my writings were published in Huffington Post and Times news, London.
UNO Secretary General also requested Iranian authorities not to use andy force on peaceful demonstrators.
We will wait and see ,what happens next?

Again the West and the East must do something to help and protect the vulnerable in IRAn.
What are we waiting,to see how those HUMAN BEINGS are going to be prosecuted like delinquents or terrorists? and puneshed maybe like Somalia way ? cutting arm and leg?or what new perverse atrocity are going to use?TO GAVE A LESSON OF PERVERSION AND WARNING to the protesters and to the world?
NO TO MANIPULATION OF LAW AND FEAR . NO TO LEGAL ATROCITIES.
NOW NOT LEGITIME GOVM OF IRAN- ARE GOING TO USE THE LAW TO COMMIT A GREAT ATROCITY WITH THE ARRESTED? AND ALL WE LOOKING AS A WARNING….ENOUGH OF WARNINGS OF THE TERROR OF ALL THE KIND.
THE RELIGIOUS LEADER COUNSIL MUST RETHINK WHOM IS IN POWER, THE ISLAM IN IRAN IS IN THE WAY OF COMMITING A GREAT ATROCITY THAT WILL COST THEM THE FAITH. YOU ARE ON TIME TO AVOID SUCH ATROCITY. ISLAM IS NOT THAT.
WE THE WORLD SAY TO YOU AND ALL YOUR STATE TERRORISTS FOLLOWERS YOU ARE NOT GOD. AND YOUR GOD IS NOT THE GOD OF ISLAM.
MUST BE A WAY TO HELP.
