Iranian Regime Cracks Down on Tehran University After Khomeini's Image Torched (Video)

The illegitimate Iranian regime has surrounded Tehran University after videos showed photos of Ayatollah Khomeini torched during university protests last week.
Here’s the video- The protesters are shouting “Death to dictators” in the background:
The AP reported:
Police surrounded the campus of Tehran University on Sunday, trapping hundreds of students protesting what they said were fabricated government images of the burning of a photo of the Islamic Republic’s revered founder.
State television has repeatedly shown images, ostensibly taken during student-led protests on Dec. 7, of unidentified hands burning and tearing up pictures of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. It was a grave and illegal insult against the former leader still widely respected in the country and the elite Revolutionary Guard, the country’s most powerful military force, called for the trial and punishment of those responsible.
Video circulated widely on the Internet on the day of last week’s protests also showed photos of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad being burned as well as one photo of Khamenei and Khomeini side by side going up in flames. The faces of those burning the pictures could not be seen and loud chants against the government were heard in the background.
An Iranian parliamentarian on Friday called for a fierce struggle against the defacing of Khomeini’s photo.

While brave Iranian students protest for cosmic issues of human dignity, UC Berkeley students temper tantrum and riot against tuition hikes, self-centered blind to the collapsing economy around them.
At this rate, it’s a superior education to send kids to Tehran U, where students are standing for freedom, steeped in rhetoric of America’s own Founding Fathers, instead of any US University- places where America’s Founding Fathers are dishonestly repackaged and dismissed as “racists, patriarchial, oppressive” If that was true, then the Iranian students wouldn’t have found anything relevent to their condition in it.

The events in Iran demonstrate why we must never let our government disarm our population. The protesters are brave indeed.

What goes around comes around. The current Iranian government came about because of college demonstrations, now it’s come full circle.
The only difference the shah was a sane man, the current iranian leaders all have “crazy eyes”.

Iranian citizens have infinitely heftier balls than American citizens, and this should be apparant to anyone with eyes and ears. We have become a nation of milquetoast fightless wusses.
Vote in 2010? No. What would the worthless ball-less spineless Republicans do? Nothing.
REPENT, and pray for Christ’s return before the current administration attempts to beat Mao’s mass-grave-filling record. They’re both inevitable and nearer than you think…best pray for the one before the other. Because we’re not going to stop the train of State that is bearing down on us.
The beginning of “Great Leap Forward 2: American Edition” is on its way. TREBLINKA was low-tech and inefficient compared to what the Left has in store. Obama and his minions are preparing even now.
It’s been almost a year since we watched videos of Obama Army Training Camps. How long does it take to train an army of murderers and theives?

Something that folks are not seeing is these kids that are protesting have parents in the government as well as the military. Unlike the U.S. not every kid can go to college. Only a select few from the middle-upper crust of society. Imagine one of these Mooslim thugs beating some fighter pilots son to death on a street in Tehran. They love their children as much as we do, well, at least the males. What would you do? There is a tipping point.

so, there are other things to burn aside
from Israeli & American flags, go figure..
meantime back in Iraq..
(Turban) has lost its luster, and some Islamists
came under the robes of liberals and independents
[He points out that "the Iraqi people can not be misled, it gives voice to those who know the man is the true religion faith authentic". وكانت نتائج الانتخابات الأخيرة لمجالس المحافظات أثبتت تراجع تأثير الأحزاب الدينية في الناخبين. The results of the recent elections for provincial councils have indicated a decline in the influence of religious parties, the electorate.
يقول المحلل السياسي مجيد العبيدي: "جربنا حكم الأحزاب الدينية، وأوصلتنا إلى حروب مذهبية". Political analyst Majid al-Obeidi: "We have tried the rule of religious parties, and brought us to the sectarian wars." ويشير الى أن "الانتخابات العراقية مثلت هزيمة كبرى لإيران التي أرادت أن تسيطر الأحزاب الشيعية على الجنوب لتحويله إلى دويلة شيعية، وأفرزت الانتخابات جيلاً جديداً من الساسة بينهم كثير من الشباب الذين عاشوا في بلادهم وليس في المنفى وجذورهم محلية، ولا تربطهم علاقة بالولايات المتحدة". He points out that "the Iraqi elections marked a major defeat for Iran, which wants to control the Shiite parties in the south to turn it into a Shiite mini-state, the elections produced a new generation of politicians, including many young people who lived in the country, not in exile, and local roots, and have a relationship with the United States."]
translation via an Iraqi (pardon spelling erors/typos):
The turban and the religious signs have lost their
shines in Iraq and will show in the next Election.
People have tried the leaders of those sectarian religions, both Sunni and Shia and have been dissapointed and are now determined to get rid of them, in the next Parliamnetary Elections.
The country folks however, are still mainly illiterate and will obey the Imam, the shaikh- religious- and the Sayyed- who claim decentdants of the prophit. Which has led the secular parties to enlist them with loads of cash and other inducements to work for them.
People are now fed up with them and will vote for the Liberals- secular groups- The records of the present leaders are not uptoscratch and will
not be elected next year.
Let us hope we will have technocrates to run
the Country, separate the State from religion.
As for the Kurds, their influence will wain and possibly just be lost as the Arabs , both Sunnis and Shias have woken up and discovered their twisted and selfish games.
Good luck Iraq, and remain free and democratic.
Kind regards
Hameed Abid
