Extremely sorry for appearing so picky... but I was told from an Iranian friend that the information quoted above seems to be a translation of something written in Kayhan newspaper, which makes the info appear in a slightly different light. As I understand very little Farsi, I can not verify this myself, but maybe somebody here can...?

The referenced information apparently is available here: روزنامه کیهان

And as every day I want to thank NiteOwl for his neverending endurance and effort. May you never get tired and depressed...

I read and speak farsi. The above link didn't work but if that's from Kayhan newspaper, it's definitely not true.

Ha ha ha! That's really funny! Foot-kebabs: luv it!

the link works here, I will type it with spaces (not for copy/paste):
http: // www. kayhannews. ir/
should lead to the main page where you find the headline to the article - click on it and you will be directed to the article
(full link: http: // www. kayhannews .ir/880501/2. htm#other201)


(looks strange, but that's what it is)

I forgot to put that bit in the brief. Apologies about that.


Yes, that is true. But all those clerics belong to an organization - Qom Seminary Teachers Society - that has already endorsed Ahmadinejad. ُSo this does not come as a surprise.

I read it in keyhan's website. It hasn't any reference and no names has mentioned too. Must find another reliable source to confirm this.

NiteOwl, your perseverance, dedication, and integrity are an inspiration to all of us who swim in the Sea of Green.

Mojtaba is clearly a desperate fool munching, as someone has stated, on his own foot kebab. (please forgive me for not citing properly) no one with any sense or knowledge of strict Iranian law, can possibly believe the protesters were armed. Mojtaba, there exists numerous video and pictorial evidence showing who was armed, who was not, and even which ethnicities they are.

besides, why would we need to arm ourselves before the free-est and fairest elections in the world?

the alternative: Mojtaba and his corrupt organization are so incompetent -so poorly led and staffed- they allowed the formation of a group three hundred thousand strong. they then allowed this group to somehow become armed.

mmm. how does that foot taste, Mojtaba? you are not very bright are you? you probably think you are tasting victory. it is actually (wait for it) the cheesy taste of de-feet.

Thanks Sparrow, I am forever going to picture Mojtaba as a man with foot cheese fungus. Gross.

One has to wonder how much these gov't people buy into their own hype. I think Jibber has delusions of adequacy and some of these Ayatollahs... sheesh.

Hey,

Good to have you back SparrowHawk! Haven't seen you in a while so I thought you might have gotten busy.

And you don't need to cite sources for the foot-kebab. It's general knowledge now!

I have recently become a daily reader of your postings and wish to thank everyone involved for their work in presenting this information to all of us and allowing us to be a part of the greater world community who are standing in support of the people of Iran.
