Mourning cycles on the way?

by alimostofi on

Sorry but I have just posted a shorter clip w/o the BBC natter.  Anyway what is important, is this cycle of mourning that will occur, which brought the Shahanshah down.  The Islamists used this very effectively against a secular government then.  But now it will be used against each other.  How will that ensue?  Is this Moslem vs Moslem?  Are the Ahmadinejad crowd going to have their own mournings as well?
