Iran Accuses British Embassy Employees of Instigating Protests Against Election Results

[whitemale08]

No, the British have always used embassies for spying and de-stabalization operation bases.

Gee isn't this a bunch of BS? last week they were condemming the US for the same thing.. Seems to me that they want to blame all their woes on someone else.. not too unlike the reps & Dems here. Maybe aba whatsisname should step down in response to the iranian preference.. OR better yet simply hold a NEW election.. with neutral counting the votes, the Iranians will lie to their preference, just like they will destroy their own to make their point.. just another form of corruption.. remember the saying: Power corrupts, Absolute Power corrupts ABSOLUTELY

Religion is the bane of enlightenment. Not spirituality, but organized religion. Whether you are a faith-crazed creationist in the U.S. or an Old Testament or anti-modern cleric in the Mideast, it makes no difference. When people give up their superstitions and embrace rationality, humans will advance. Otherwise, it's back to the stone age....

They did this some 30 years ago and they got away with it. As another poster wrote, the thugs in Iran just love to bother embassy workers!
I think Britain's request that Europeans should withdraw their embassies from Iran is absolutely the way to go. This way, you prove to them that they are only a bunch of thugs and not a ligitimate government.

Let see heah; we got North Korea trying to shoot its firecrackers for July 4th, Honduran right-wingers take over the government from a guy who wants to help the poor, Iran wants to try and presumably imprison British embassy staff--guilty until proven innocent--after Islamic clerics fixed the election and in the U.S., state governments are failing due to political impasse and well, just being in debt up to their eyeballs. In Cuba, Raul Castro revs up its military in preparation for a U.S. attack...according to the news and in Mexico, the drug war goes on...Well, seems the world is normal this morning and nothing I write, by golly, is going to change it.

Your last line is hilarious. It made my day.

These so called "Ayatollahs" are all major jokes. It's no wonder Iranians don't believe them any more. Their only hope now is to kill all the educated people, close the universities, and take close control over the elementary schools to ensure that their snake oil is thoroughly engrained into all the childrens' heads. It looks like they're doing some of those things right now. REVOLT PEOPLE!!! KICK THIS JERK'S GRAY BEARD ALL THE WAY INTO THE NEAREST LATRINE WITH ALL THE OTHER FILTH AND WASTE!!!

[KierraSinclaire]

Just another sign that bolsters a growing trend that believe that religion, in this case Islam, is a mental disorder!

[ToolMangler1]

Jannati demanded that those involved in the protests "repent and ask God to forgive them."


Why should I repent, GOD told me to protest!!!!! I am supposed to protest Crimes against GOD and Man. He told me to protest religious criminals (Clerics that pervert his word.) So tell me "Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati" "What makes your claim to having heard GOD speak any more valid than mine???????" You caqn'trove it, so I am not listening to you, (you don't have to listen to me either) If you try to put me in prison are kill me for having heard GOD, then you had better sit down beside me in the same cell.. P.S. Trying to 'kill' me will cost you greatly!!!!

[Basketcase_1]

Thats what happens when you have the Anti-Christ ruling a country and killing it's own people. God help us when he gets nukes, God help us all. But he will be judged by God himself...

[GiveMeFreedom]

When this happened to the U.S., we had a weak, weak President - Jimmy Carter. Now the U.K. has a weak, weak PM - Gordon Brown.

I eagerly await the next PM in the UK - if he was as good as Reagan, the U.K. will flourish, while we in the US will continue to suffer from Obamaomics.

[Sloughfoot]

"Ah" good move. Create an international incident with a country having a weak-kneed PM or president. Distract the World from the "Off with their heads" retaliation by the goon squads in their disfunctional theocarcy. Soon other issues will become head line news. Worked before and the "peanut farmer" became a convert to the ways of Islam so let's see how ol' Brownee responds. **** he ain't going to do nothing, up to his arse in gators back home, he is.
