Karroubi visited northern city of Qazvin to attend funeral of the persons killed during the opposition’s protest actions.Around 500 residents of nearby villages and basiji militants surrounded the house where Karroubi was and attacked the building with stones breaking windows. They attacked Karroubi’s car with gunfire when he took it, but Karroubi’s armored car helped him to avoid the injuries. Karroubi said his bodyguards didn’t open reprisal fire because they could be arrested. The gunmen were not detained.

Iranians are Persians not Arabs. Iran was a very close American ally before Jimmy Carter and Khomeini.

Militant Conservative commented:
Don’t take my comments as callous. WE are the last chance for freedom in the world. I have a dog in this fight and will not let our freedoms be legislated away by a radical leftist. I am not an isolationist, at the current time the enemy is within.

Indigenous Persian/Iranian religions were and remain humane, though becoming extinct by the radical Islamofascists.

But he’s just another mullah, another wolf in sheep’s clothing. Maybe he’s somewhat more, well, “moderate”, but that means nothing among those wankers. I guess instead of having female prisoners raped before stoning them do death, he’s just for stoning them to death. That’s moderate there.
He won’t bring actual freedom and democracy to Iran.

“May Allah/God bless the good people of Iran who strive for their unalienable rights through liberation from ruling theothugs.”
If you have to do something like that, please just use “God”, referring to the Christian god. Allah is NOT like the Christian god. Not at all. Allah’s roots are some obscure moon god, and he’s a bloodthirsty bugger.

If there’s any politician that any Iranian should be leery of, it would be one that’s wearing a turban.
They can back him if they like, but if the guy displays even a hint of wavering from backing democracy, dump him fast.
