MARG BAR SHAH
DEATH TO THE SHAH
Good point, not to mention that it was Carter, the British government, and French and German goverments support that removed him. Of course the scape goat is the Shah to take all the blame for their evils.
yes death the the shah; the sha who kept Iran as a country of power against evil, the shah who kept drugs poverty and prostitution out of the streets, the shah who gave woman their rights as human beings. Iran sure is a lot better now as a Islamic Nation. Mr. Bloodmoney, do us a favor and go see Iran today and compare it to how it was 30 years ago. Iran is worse than ever now with it being ran by Islamic Laws that are thousands of years old…
BloodMoney,
You do not deserve to be Iranian. You are an aborted misfit. With venom in your system. Full of it.
This is only your unqualified opinion keep it to yourself and do not try to utter it again. What have you done for Iran ?
In the name of Allah the most beneficient, the most merciful.
Ayatollah Khomeini the most greatest person in recent times to have graced upon this earth. Words cannot describe the hatred towards the shah, only actions can which was highlighted by the Iranians.We must continue the mission that was started 1400 years ago and carried on by the Late Ayatollah.
The hussaini mission, Muslims can learn from this, that union is the only way forward.
Walaikum asalam
khomeini should have been executed. that would have helped a lot! marg bar jomhuriye eslami. long live the shah!!!! I don’t care what anyone thinks. The monarchy will come back to power. You wait and see.
of course khomeini has been a gift by allah for you poor arabs who can nothing except ignorance and terrorism. Because khomeini was himself an arab and the foreign power knew when they could use him against apowerful man like our great king. Dream well, the lion of Iranian nation is waking up again.
actually islam is not a bad religion.The name of this religion had become like this becoz of the stupid extremist.Even his majesty the shah is also a muslim.He had modernizing projects for iran through thier official religion ,islam.May you rest in peace,while Khomeini and their supporters burn in hell.
ayatollah was the most disgraceful thing to iran. all thorugh-out irans history the leaders of persia were magnifecent. and the last one we’ve had that was good was our last shah. the islamic revolution was stupid and pointless. nothing improved but got worse for the people of iran.
followed the teaching of Islam… and drinking champagne in public…
Shah was such a hypocrite…
Like many good men he simply got loaded from time to time and had a thing for the bitches. But apart from that he was a good muslim.
look at the state of the republic now, fuck the mosques, the best option for iran is a nationalist secular govornment, someone like mossadegh
do you think there will be a new revolution in iran 2008-2009 election
Khoda Biamorz ShahanShah Aryamehr ! He was a good man, well spoken in 3 or 4 languages, modern thinking, his vice : not knowing his people, letting things go on autopilot with SAVAK and not knowing to never trust any power (US – UK), if he was a dictator would order army to kill people just to save throne, just like Saddam, but he always said” I am king not a dictator. A king cannot shed blood of people”. Maybe due to illness he became philosophical, realizing how petty humans really are,
I think that “revolution” has already taken place. The term “revolution” is misleading, as it doesn’t reflect the socio-political & technological changes in recent times. The internet replaces the earlier media and even violent struggles of the past. Todays bullets are binary… That does not make them less deadly. The old system fell into the trap of using old methods and in so doing have lost their own peoples support. It is now only a question of time (my view). A doctor would suggest prayer.
Agree with you. Shahanshah Aryamehr should have executed that bastard of Khomeini (in his position I would have done it not worrying a sec), who ruined my country and infested my people’s minds
And words cannot describe my and my Iranian compatriots hatred for everything Eslamic, it has brought nothing but disaster to my land, fuck all Ayatollahs and lackeys who like Sharia govt. It is most inhumane govt ever, you live under it and lets see how u enjoy it! Javed Shah, Khoda Biamorz Shahanshah Aryamehr, SHAH WAS GREATEST KING OF IRAN, MONARCHY WILL COME BACK TO IRAN, WE ARE PERSIANS AND NOT ARABS !
Well, luckily I am not a Doctor… I see it everywhere… you might focus on Irans History, but this is global… look at how the Spanish ravaged the Americas’, how England ravaged Asia & Africa… But also look at how within these regions Empires ravaged their neighbours. this is not a Nationalistic, Religious or Political problem… It is a Human Problem… The solution is available, but no one wants to drink the tonic… Thanks for Commenting, runi.
The Shah’s slow wit became more pronounced. His complete self-centeredness worked against him, making him paranoid and delusional. Cancer’s effects were creeping up.
Confidence amongst his American sponsors slackened. The crisis intensified.
Before Saddam expelled Khomeini from Najaf, he offered the Shah his execution. The Shah, fearful of the consequences, declined the offer. Later, Saddam would look back and wish he’d executed Khomeini when he had the chance.
i dont think the shah was self centered.. he was disillusioned, thinking too far ahead into the future of his country failing to see the problems his people were facing such as poverty. he’s like a father who makes his lazy son study by force so that he might have a bright future but he fails to see that his son is slowly hating him because of the way that the shah chooses to enforce his will. that’s the simplest way i would describe it although i dont mean to say iran is lazy or anything. peace
my pastor was talking abt the dangers of secularism the other day at church.. that fucking idiot. there are so many examples already that shows that there must be seperation of the state and religion yet people are still so stupid.. but then again monarchy may not be the best answer as the monarch may lose touch with his people, such as what happened to the shah..
It is definitely a complex problem. Tx
thanks for putting up this documentary
I do wonder what the solution is… I myself want to walk into a forest like the Amazon and disappear for ever…
I guess no one would even notice (but if 6 Billion people all do the same it could get crowded…) Thanks, Runi
MARG BAR AYATOLLAH BCC!!!!!
