Iranian students set ablaze US, UK, Zionist flags on Student Day
Iranian students gathered in Tehran University yard, shouted anti-US, anti-UK and anti-Zionist regime slogans after holding the religious ceremony related to the anniversary of Imam Hossein’s martyrdom anniversay.The people in Iran and abroad mourn on Ashura, the tenth day of the lunar month of Moharram, the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hossein (P).
Moharram is commemorated by Shi’a Muslims as a day of mourning on the sad occasion of martyrdom of Ima Hossein ibn-Ali, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (P) at the Battle of Karbala on the 10th of Muharram in the year 61 AH (October 2, 680 CE).In some Shi’a regions of Muslim countries such as Albania, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Lebanon, and Bahrain, the Commemoration of Imam Hossein ibn Ali (P) has become a national holiday and most ethnic and religious communities participate in it. Even in a predominantly Hindu country like India, where Ashura Day is a public holiday.

Maybe Belgian Ambassador GUTMAN can explain which type of ANTI-SEMITISM this is.
Is this RAPE-RAPE or some other kind?

Every mosque is a command post for militant violence in every country.
Cee2 commented:
We continue to allow graduates of this and other Iranian universities to come to the US to study. They later remain to take jobs needed by Americans and even get US government funding for research that might be important to our national security some day.
Adi commented:
1. After carefully parsing the photo, I have indeed reached the conclusion that each and everyone of them is a student.
2. How unusual for Muslims to stage a violent protest after a holy day of prayer.

In other news….water is wet.
Must be a normal Friday…..

Burn Flags, have a protest, parade, bake sale, square dance, battle of the bands concert,
I…don’t ….. care…… what they do.
Violent attacks against US, our troops, our citizens, or our allies, that I care about. When it happens, IF it happens, we’ll deal with it.
Adi commented:
The photo btw, looks like a bad photoshop job. You can clearly see some of the “students” are cropped.
bigL commented:
On that white sign, place dogs playing poker.
gus commented:
Yes Adi, the “Students” are cropped. Why does OUR media always describe IRANIAN thuglettes as “students”?
gus commented:
You know what IRAN really really needs????
Texas_Treeroach commented:
I’ve seen the flag-burning thing for years now.
Come back with some photos of them burning themselves.
I may look — briefly.
Neo commented:
That picture looks like a bit more than just burning flags.
It certainly looks like they are giving some poor effigy the “Guy Fawkes treatment.”
bob commented:
rawr i hate the moslems
Hobbitually conservative commented:
Why is this even news anymore?
CV1 commented:
Obviously, the picture has been altered. Some of those men are dressed for bitter cold and some are dressed for Fall-type weather. The lighting is different on each face. Of course, there are no women in the picture since they rank near dogs in that backward society. Women have no voice there. None! But then again, if the picture has been doctored, then who really knows what is going on over there. Can’t believe anything in the media.

IRAN, needs DENTISTS. Toothbrushes, and FLOURIDE.

wolf commented:
Loooking forward to the day all muslims, shiite and sunni, are martyred in one huge nuclear fireball.
Then we can all celebrate with a week long holiday.
David commented:
The scary aspect is these are the educated ones. Imagine how the uneducated iranian Muslims behave and think

There needs a worldwide MUSLIM tax….RIGHT NOW. These violent racists are the root cause of all the problems today. A 10% tax on everything they do, everything they buy.
