NY Times
26-May-2009 (11 comments)

Security forces have arrested 104 people accused of being devil worshipers, seizing drugs and alcohol during a party in Shiraz, the semiofficial Mehr News Agency reported Monday. Col. Abbas Hamedi of the Revolutionary Guards said they had been investigating the group, whose members cut themselves and sucked their blood, leading to the arrests on Sunday. “The group’s aim was to promote irreligious behavior,” Colonel Hamedi said.

I am sorry farhad to

by nojanthegreat on

I am sorry farhad to disturb your sleep.

in USA if you use drug in any place you will be arrested and will be jailed, then it comes to using alcohol when you are not 21 or older , again that will put you in jail . that’s the fact , you can ask around .

and about the justice in America , that’s a joke and deep down you know that .

last night a 15 years old kid get shot by tamer and died. which make it 386 sense 2001. another time not long ago a Bart officer killed a 15 years old black kid who was unarmed. and thinks like that happen daily in USA .

law is law. you are not allowed to break it or when you do you need to face the consciousness.

we can not live in lawless society , which is the number one problem in Iran. people have lost the respect for law and it is not a new think.

and Mr. Hamseda Gadimi . I have been in Iran and I know about drug problem in Iran. I been in northern part and saw how people are dealing drugs. but in the same way un just thanks Iran’s action against the drug trafficking.

and about the job think , I love it when you make it like its government job to make job for youth . have you forgotten that you don’t pay any taxes in Iran ?

when you don’t pay taxes , your government own you nothing. its fair and clear.

so stop blaming government for things that is your fault .

and farhad stop it by this Fascist government thing , grow up.

Iranian government is not fascist , ( at least not enough lol )

and you call me not logical when a quick look at your art work will show you are like recorded message , to be honest sometime I think you are just the programmed software use by our brother in star.

and no I am not saying people need to obey the law , no they can easily change them .

a quick research in Iranian families will show no father like to see her daughter with stoner in devil worshiping party and no brother will. we all know that and that need to be changed first.

and again to Mr. Hamseda : Iran has one of the toughest laws against the drug and drug trafficking in the world.

which include hanging and long term prison times, so I don’t see the blind ness part of the deal.

and farhad if you look for inhuman law you can look closer and see the love of your life , Jews state with its great laws. so if you like that kind of law can really see why you are so angered by Iranian laws .

we you see the life of American here in us and Europe you see kids from age of 16 or 18 get out the house and look for jobs. they work any job from garbage man to waiter to.... and no one here is waiting for gov to find him a job.

why ? because they need to survive, as Iranian I know a lot of people who don’t work and still live with their parent and don’t do any work. you know them too.

so let stay back and look at the problem and try to fixed not just like farhad get to no turning back.

so now we are here to chose . do we like punks or we like the cops to clean street. if the drug is a problem ( hey not for me )

we need to give cops credit for what they did nut if we like stoner, we cant use it against the gov.

and hamseda I am a ware of irons problems I tell you about laws that need to be changed or need to be obey .

and about the mirror ,think , you want to tell me people who attend this party are worshiping devil ?

they are living the life of devil worshiper , I bet different, as you see .

when I say I am a neo nazi its my belief, its my reality , it my friend and my coworkers and.....

if I say I am proud to be Aryan again its all I believe in and will act on.

if I am unemployed I don’t cry to gov and blame it for my lack of income.

but those who just mentioned are like the American teen in now a day who dress up like a punk but live in Beverly hills mentions or silicon valley mansions.

so I have mirror and I look at it most of the morning.

but in the end I need to thank you for the info you gave away .

Nojanthegreat,   Your

Nojanthegreat,

 

Your logic (lack of it!) amazes me. You anti American and anti Iran folks have crossed the line from criticizing America to bluntly and openly support Fascism in Iran and Fascist regimes.

 

How dare does the IRI make up these inhumane laws and enforce them on people and expect people to follow them? If that was the case, what is the value for all the people that throughout the history in all cultures fought and gave up all they had for justice and equality? You’re basically saying that “people should accept being oppressed!” in everywhere except America. In America’s case, if the government does the smallest thing that appears to somehow be unfair or unjust, all hell breaks lose, but the Fascist government in Iran intruding in people’s lives like this is “acceptable”!! Unbelievable!!

Sheytan Parast

by Anonymous Joojeh (not verified) on

I was one of those "sheytan parasts" who was caught. The only reason we got caught is that our boss, "Sheytan" didn't make it to the party to kick everyone's ass and save us. He was having dinner with Paul Wolfowitz at the time and forgot all about us.

the story is actually not that unusal.  it may be unusual that there were 104 people in the party; hence, increasing their risk of getting busted.  but drug, alcohol use, and mimicking the behavior of youth outside the country is not unusal.

thanks ali p. for sharing the isna version of the news.  for some readers such as gol-dust who like to shoot the messenger, an iranian news source may appease him.

nojanthegreat, drug use in iran is notrious, prevalent, and has been going on for centuries if not millenia.  finding drugs in iran is extremely easy.  i know many people in iran or those who travel there describing people approaching them in the street (unsolicited) trying to peddle their drugs.  i personally have been approached two times on my last travel.  for a country where unemployment and underemployment is rampant, using drugs is a way to escape reality.  and the government typically turns a blind eye to this problem since it is more difficult for them to create jobs such as for your cab drivers in iran (if you plan to travel there) who probably have a higher education than you.  there are plenty of reports you can find on the web to enlighen you on drug abuse in iran.  here's a research conducted by iranian sholars inside iran:

//www.ams.ac.ir/AIM/0253/0253184.htm

here are couple of other sources of info:

//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_Iran (scroll down to communicable diseases & drugs)

//www.unodc.org/pdf/afg/afg_drug-situation_2002-10-01_1.pdf (scroll down to page 4, 5)

keep in mind the published proportion of drug users in iran are 'addicts' not the 'drug user' definition as used to describe illicit drug use in the u.s.

your statements regarding drug use in iran only shows your lack of knowledge regarding the subject; however your "...they just like to be cool and follow westerner [sic] like monky [sic] not as orginality [sic]." statement is not only incoherent and riddled with grammatical errors but it shows that you haven't looked at the mirror lately and ask yourself whether there are others who wear their hats sideways and if that makes you a monkey.

To Gol-Dust: why are you shooting the messenger?!!

by I wonder (not verified) on

Haaj agha you think if Farhad does not post it on this Website, then nobody will see or read it. Oh boy!

Besides NYT reporters reporting from Iran are mostly of Iranian origin.

P.S. how come when NYT, Washington Post, CNN, and the rest of the liberal media, trashy or whateva, sort of place IRI on a high pedestal and call it a democracy (lol!), fellows like you "not an IRI supporter" go mute?!! Don't be picky!

BS report! Why is it NY times only reports making us look bad?

by gol-dust on

They have nothing good to talk about us! Why is it NY Times even intersted in Iran and partying? Did they have their own reporters? Where is the detail? This report does not say anything reliable!

There is a difference between making IRI look worse than making us Iranians as devil worshippers! That's all we needed to be called! Trash report! Of course, if it is posted by kashani, it must have been a trash report! The report is as good as the messenger!

FYI: Not an IRI supporter!

Long Live Iran (Partying!)

by eroonman on

All I can think is what a party that must have been for the Guards to call it Devil Worshipping!

"What...the Hel... why are you pouring Mast-o-Mooseer all over her... and why does she look like she's enjoying it... and what is that? Is that a goat??? Oh My GAWD!!!! Arrest them, Arrest them ALLL!!!!!"

as far as i remmember ,

by nojanthegreat on

as far as i remmember , drinking alcohal is prohibited in iran and most of arab country in the area so is using and having drug . if you us drug in state , or if you drink when you are not allowed same will happen to you. and about worshiping devil , i dont think iranian youth realy know what the doing when it comes to worshiping devil , they just like to be cool and follow westerner like monky not as orginality. so mr farhad as we see here , iranian cops are arresting people who broke the law of country and i dont see any problem with that .so again why we are supporting illigal activity ? just because it happens in iran, what if i was in state , then we say oh cops are securiting our town.
