Video: Women Genius critical of Khamenei!!!!

Re: Democracy is alive and well in Iran

I am with you Koorosh. Democracy of course is a relative term. If one always sees a glass half empty and not half full, well, he can always put attention only on negativity and ignore anything positive. I find it funny that the "opposition" complains if there is no freedom and also complains if there is any freedom. We look at "Jesus" being rude and obnoxious and twisting everything while accusing Koorosh of twisting facts. I guess what "Jesus" considers democracy is a complete dismissal of all government people of today and replacing them with "Jesus" and his family or gang. Anything else cannot possibly be democracy or even a hint of improvement!

I see Iran definitely on a path to improvement and I think it is the responsibility of everyone to not abuse any freedom available. Some are too anxious to start a revolt as soon as they see a slight opportunity - which causes restrictions again. Then they complain why there is restriction. It's a vicious circle they help create. This nation needs a little time to evolve. It's not going to happen overnight. And there is no power that can be trusted to force it into a better state. So I say let's work with what we have. 

I think during the Shah's reign, if the so-called revolutionary individuals and group had sided with Shah instead of fighting him so bitterly, they would get much better results. All their bitter fighting helped the imperialists tighten their noose around Iran and gain a much stringer control of the nation. I don't want to do that again.

Is it possible for the

Is it possible for the "opposition" people to use some new terms beside "torturing", "killing", "tyranny", "dictatorship", "Islamofascist" and "I.R agent"?

It seems like no matter what the context is, it is always the same few words and slogans coming up in different orders in every single one of your posts. No reflection on the actual subject, no arguments, no analysis, just a bunch of rantings that seriously starting to get boring. At least renew your vocabularies!

Nonsense by Goozee

Another IR supporter twisting the facts. First of all, what we see here is not a direct criticism of the system, in other words, no accountability is mentioned, no substantial criticism against the system is expressed. She basically criticizes what she calles some "shortcomings". So this is not freedom of speech. IR in some sense is a strange animal, I agree in that it allows for printing of more books, and a slightly(I mean just very slightly) a larger space for speech, but it is not just short of a "perfect" system as goozi has expressed, Islamist have a way of stinking up Iranian.com, like goozi, trying to understate the criminal machine that is IR. However, IR lashes out far more, I mean far far more aggresively at its opponents. Shah never killed 14 and 15 year old systematically, Shah killed the major political opponents, and tortured a few in comparison. Mullahs are expert at torturing and killing. So it is not just not a perfect system, it is not any where close to being a democracy, it is much more like dictatorship of oligarchs than anything that can be remotely similar to a democracy.
Goozi, remember, Iranian.com is not your typical bassij gathering, you are not gone pull a wool over anybody's eyes. Be honest, and you will get a lot more credit...believe me...va salamo sheitan e rajim...

Democracy is alive and well in Iran

I find it interesting that while everyone is looking at the content of this video, they do not see a more important issue, that is the principle of freedom of speech. Now I am not arguing that Iran is by any means perfect on this issue, far from it. But lets be fair here, the level of criticism that exists in Iran today is something new. Unimaginable before time of revolution for someone to even challenge and openly talk like this in front of the dictatorial monarchy. I dont get why nobody sees this and many other students openly speaking and debating with government officials as a POSITIVE sign of dialogue. Whatever one thinks of these mullahs, they tolerate a lot more criticism than we imagine, and this is good for society. its healthy. just look at the newspapers in Iran today. this is real democracy and people experimenting with it. this is why i am vehemently opposed to any INVASIOn of Iran as well, because it will destroy this, install a puppet regime like shah again, crush all dissent, recycle petrodollars, etc.

First of all thank for the

First of all thank for the video. It was a pleasure watching it.

Secondly, I'd like to point out that there're many other ladies in Iran  just like the one on the video, who are very aware and critical of not only Iran's problem but also world's issues.  I'm convinced Iran is growing slowly but surely, from inside. One other rare case of someone facing a heavy weight authority in Iran, was Farzad Hassani, the tv presenter of a programe called 'koole poshti' who criticized very directly and sarcastically the chief police of Tehran (Sardar Radan) you can watch it on:

Please note that there're several parts to it.  One thing that really bothers me and something I consider a disaster for our country is the fact that the most educated and well trained Iranians have to leave their country behind. There's definitely a very well organized systematic mechanism behind this, in order to change the social structure of Iran in the long run, where only the brainwashed become the majority, which by itself is part of a larger and long term plan of changing Iran's entity and soul, in other words, the Arabization of Iran (a well planned and well designed Europen, mainly British Plan)

To Q; Clarification

-He asked.."is it just this one library or all ..."
Doesn't matter what, which library allowing women use it once a week and men are allowed to used it 6 days a week. She also said, the library can seperate the area or do other sort of segregation provisions etc.
I think the answer should be, regardless of one or all, everyone must be able to use it at ALL times.( we have to look at the interpretation of the followers) apparently, the library in question is a unique one and there are very many women studying "Elahiat" and must have access to these special books.
-Regarding inheritance law, same as witness law, like retribution law etc. the idea was to show existance of inequality in all daily life, i.e 90% of sport budget dedicated to men.

Zan irani khaayeh daare...

Seems brave!

Very interesting! I don't think I have ever heard any other woman be so daring in front of Khamenei. Khamenei could order her disappearance in an instance if he wishes! Brave woman! That's my guess.

She's taking him to the woodshed!!!

aaj sr: don't confuse inheritance law with "right of women", the provisions for the library thing is not in Islam.

and it seems you also misunderstood Khamenei's question: he asked "is it just this one library, or all college libraries?" The one the Qom is probably outside his control.

How long before?

Close to 99% of Iranian Olympiad medalists are pursuring their studies in Western Europe or North America. As degenerate Mullahs like Khomeini promised, Iran has become such a self-sufficient country that it now exports brain to the rest of the world. Indeed Iran ranks number 1 in brain drain, followed by IRAQ! yeah, even with the war, and "imperialists" destroying Iraq, proportionally, it still ranks behind Iran. What does that say about Iran? 1- It is a hellish place for intellectuals, as that ugly ideology islam has always been an antithesis to anything intelligent. 2-How long before we see this genius lady on the Stanford or Berkeley campus out of her chador, and fashioning the latest DKNY sunglasses? I will give it 6 months to a year!

it'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry...

as the truth usually does!

Listen to stupid Khamenei's question !!!

1-Additionally, Sharia law says that rights of woman is half of a man, here we see that time-share in library for woman is just above 14% (one day out of seven days women allowed to use special library). Congratulation!!
2-Brovo to Zohreh for being brave and asking for her rights.
