This is lazy journalism...

Having someone like Marandi speak on Al Jazeera and CNN with the banner down below "rare interview from Tehran" legitimize his views as one that all Iranians agree with. This is lazy journalism, plain and simple. At least both channels should have invited a second guest with differing views to give another side of the story- the one that we are all too familiar with in order to give a clearer picture about the situation in Iran. We are able to spot the obvious lies when Marandi speaks, but I doubt the average person watching would understand. 

Apparently Marandi graduated from the University of Birmingham (UK) and completed his PhD under the direction of Professor Scott Lucas:

//www.uscanada.bham.ac.uk/staff/lucas.shtml

Lucas is also an adjunct professor at the Institute of North American and European Studies, University of Tehran- the same place that Marandi teaches at.  

On a side note, if America is such an evil place, he should renounce his US citizenship. Practice what you preach! 

Just as in Egypt

In Egypt right before Mobarak bailed out, his supporter "intellectuals" were predicting on television and interviews that all was nnormal. It is a matter of time for Iran and everyone knows it.

Elliot Spitzer???

To have someone like marandi being Interviewed by Spitzer!!!

I wonder Who is learning lessons from Whom!

this piece of you know what

is another paid mouthpiece of the akhoonds- plain and simple

he reminds me of that idiot in iraq who, as the american tanks were rolling behind him, was claiming the americans are nowhere near baghdad!!!

what a fruitcake! 

Smorgh

You took the words right out of my Mind!!! I was thinking those same words as i was reading up the comments!

That is a very good inquiry. Why o why Does not SD look into the backgrounds of these dubious personalities and deal with accordingly??

I hate to say it Yet at the expense of being called conspiracy-minded guy, I say something is totally fishy. And i really love to see an open - minded , Liberal Individual to come forward and debunk that theory for me!!!!

Mohsen Makhmalbaf posted an

Mohsen Makhmalbaf posted an article, entitled 'The secrets of Khamenei's life,' on his web site on Monday, December 28, 2009.   In that article you can read about Marandi .  

Why doesn't the State

Why doesn't the State Department revoke his citizenship? How does he justify his dual nationality being a Hezbollah boy? If things go tits up for the regime he will be flying to LA drinking pina coladas. I've already put him on my execution wish list. 

He is a US citizen too. Dual

He is a US citizen too. Dual citizenship..Disgusting lieing creature.

Is it a pre-requisite of

Is it a pre-requisite of being a Muslim to look so ugly? Does looking hideous, unshaven and dishevelled a way to get 40 virgins in the after life?

Great Interview!

After all these years and seeing so much in the real life, it still amazes me how low some human beings--here, I'm using the term, "human being," loosely--can fall. A question for those who know Mr. Marandi: Does he have a job at Evin, too?

charandi.  lol.  that's

charandi.  lol.  that's funny onlyiran.

it's one thing to support free speech and promote expression of different views .  but the view that defends the thugs who rule iran, the same view which denies the torture and killings by this police state that kills demonstrators in the guise of execution of drug traffickers does not belong in the realm of free speech.  there's nothing sincere about this speech.  this is a form of hate speech. 

This is so bad for Iran and

This is so bad for Iran and Iranians... To come out on international news program and lie so easily and without any shame!!! What do people around the world think of us???

Mohamad Charandi!

I hate to see this guy to be interviewed

I hate to see this guy to be interviewed by a professional news agency, and really don't see any reason. First, they address him as a Professor, and second, his English is pretty good and he presents well and acts calm. I am sure that some non-Iranians believe his scattered views.

Are you supporting human rights in Iran? He thinks human rights means his individual power to beat his wife, and treat his children as slaves.

p.s. Marandi reminded me one of my teachers who was furious one day and called me "madar ghahbeh" in the class when I was 14! He immediately explained to the class that it means your mother drinks coffee:) and he apologized many times later.  By the way, I finally watched a video, THEN commented!

Yes, Leverettes probably

Yes, Leverettes probably stay at Marandi's house whenever in Iran...

Democracy my foot!

I respect anyone's rights to speak, agreeable or not, as long as what he says does not promote or condone murder, rape, or other forms of violence against ordinary people. Hopefully, his days are numbered--would love to see him forced into a clean shave before his trial:)

Leverette host

Isn’t he the same Islamist Rapist who hosts the lovely Leverette couple each time they visit Tehran?

If this is the guy, his daddy was close to mass murderer Khomeni & is now one of the gofers for the Head Rapist Khamenei.

Sheefteh jan I agree with

Sheefteh jan I agree with you but i also should emphasize that iranian should achieve democracy from within ...... any help from U.S ... especaillay US media is not a Help at all. That will probably destroy our struggle and  preventing us to achieve democracy forever ........  gives the hard-liners good reason to arrest and kill more ......

Do not trust American Media anyway ......... if they are with the people then that is too good to be true ...... 

Soosan Khanoom

With all due respect, I recommend that you seek and view more than a couple of instances of this guy's appearances on western media, and for a longer period than the past 20 months. Lest we forget, up until 2009 when Iranian showed that there WAS another set of viewpoints to what was said by Iranian officials, the IRI's side was for the most part the ONLY side people could see on American media, including CNN. If it weren't for people who took their lives into their hands to walk on Tehran streets, some losing those very lives in the process, the American media would not even think to look for other points of view among Iranians. People like Mohammad Marandi were delivering monologues on what was happening in Iran. Yes, it is a democracy and everyone should say what they wish. It is our right, also, to turn off the TV and to expose those who have systematically lied to the world on behalf of Iranian people, a nation that told the world in 2009 that it must not be mistaken for the IRI.
