Greens

Support for Greens simply means being fed up with IRI. If I lived in Iran I would support "Greens" because they are the only game in town. Basically it is a kitchen sink that holds anyone who is against the IRI and the goons.

No one in their right minds will think all the "Greens" support Mousavi. Both Mousavi and Karrubi are figure heads. They are being used as "seeds" to form resistance around. Once the IRI goes they will be ditched in favor of more realistic leaders. No one who served in this regime is going to be in power afterwards. The best those two could expect is to form some political party and be of some influence. But people are going to want fresh people not tainted by the regime.

Q

Be honest. Do you look like anythink like this guy in the pic;

Why do you Greens look all the same! 

LOL, never fails...

Many Iranians outside of Iran have serious deficiencies when it comes to understanding logic and scientific processes. This is ironic given the multitude of doctors and engineers among them.

Once again, this principle is at display among the IC commenters. We see that if any data doesn't 100% support their own apriori political ideas, that by itself is proof that it must be wrong.

So, of course, this poll will be called "simple minded" or "flawed" or "fake" "IF it is correct, etc..." based on no reason other than what it actually reports.

But 2 North Tehrani guys calling into a LA TV show is regularly "proof" that "revolution is tommorrow morning" or "Iranians will overthrow IRI" or "Iranians hate Islam" or "Iranians want help from Obama", etc. etc...

This poll is clearly problematic for IR itself. It portrays Iranians as much more pro western than the government wants to admit. It shows significant support for the Greens and that people question the legitimacy of Ahmadinejad, and rejecting the violence on all sides It says economy is horrible and not improving. It will never be published in the IR for these reasons.

And that's why it must be secretly funded by IR! That's the level of logic of the people around here!

the data is on the streets of iran......

LOL! It's really funny, in a tragic, sad ignorant sort of way.

sheterek

or whatever your name is....

it is you, my bache akhoond, that is part of the marginal apologists.

the data is on the streets of iran......even the mullahs in qom hate the guts of khamenei

as always, apologists, and paid supporters of the mullahs have no answer when it comes to the death and destruction that has befallen our homeland at the hands of your akhoonds.  are you justifying the murder of all those brave generals as 'corruptors on earth' and the killing of 6000 young iranians at the direct order of the looney khoemini?    are these myths?

keep yapping the same crap, you will be soon hiding in syria with khamenei LOL 

Opposed to us != pro IRI

There is a very simple minded tought among many people. They think opposing America means supporting Islamists Republic. It does not. Things are not so simple and ther are many paths not just IRI vs West.

I absolutely dislike British influence in Iran. I also am not fond of American influence. However I also oppose the Islamist Republic. Note: I did not say I want to ban Islam.

• Opposing West does not mean supporting IRI
• Opposing IRI does not mean supporting Israel or USA.
• Opposing IRI does not mean opposing Islam
• Supporting Iranian nuclear program does not mean supporting IRI 
• Supporting Iran does not mean supporting IRI.
• Supporting IRI does not mean supporting Iran.

The latter is specially true. Palestinian and Hibzolah love IRI but hate Iran. There are other examples. Many Muslim Iranians who love Iran; believe in God but rightfully see IRI as an enemy of both Iran and Islam.

I support Iran nuclear program but oppose IRI. Iran should have a nuclear power after IRI goes.

Now back to simple minded polls. Done by simple minded pollsters.

Fair

Well said, hamvatan. Doroud bar shoma.  The Islamic Republic and Iran are polar opposites.

For all apologists of Islamic terror: 

1. If Iranians were overwhelmingly fond of Islam would there be Islamic fashion police gahte ershad patrol the streets, fining and arresting women for flouting the Islamic dress code?
2. Why would there be laws and notices on every wall saying that the wearing of Hijab is compulsory?
3. Why do Iranians still celebrate Zoroastrian events such as Norouz, Mehregan, Shabe Chele much to the ire of Islamic clerics who are powerless to stop it despite their sermons?
4. Why has the IR begun a campaign of Islamification in Universities and ban subjects which threaten the Islamic status quo?
5. Why is it you cannot find a single Iranian young man or woman wearing Farvahar medallions or trincets?

If most Iranians embrace Islam then there wouldn't be any need for laws or strignet enforcement of Islamic laws because every one would comply willignly. 

The stupid IR groupies think the Iranian people are like Afghans and Pakistanis where Islam defines their cultural and national identities. Nothing could be more further from the truth. 

Simorgh

Exactly- After 31 YEARS of 

-systematic assault on Iranian and Persian culture,

-Khalkhali showed up at Persepolis with bulldozers and the people of the region stood up to him with shovels and picks,

-trying to destroy Norooz

-not teaching Ferdowsi in high school (can you imagine going to school in England never reading Shakespeare?)

These stateless terrorists see that Iranians STILL are very proud of our heritage and our culture, still one of the biggest sellers in jewelry stores is the Farvahar, STILL Iranians celebrate NOROOZ in huge numbers, and Iranian culture is alive and well.  Why is this?  The answer is quite simple-

Iranians and our culture are MUCH bigger than a bunch of south lebanese stateless terrorists who have no roots and no country.  We have and will outlasted such weeds throughout our history, this latest strain of viruses infesting our country is no different, as is evident from their propagandists on this site.  (Who do a crappy job  I might add:))

Payandeh Iran va Irani, dorood bar shoma.

Well said, Fair. These

Well said, Fair.

These traitors care about thing: Islam, Islam and more Islam.

Persepolis? - send the bulldozers to level it

Norouz and Chaharsnabe Souri - It's a pegan devil worshiping ceremony, It should not be celebrated. 

The Persian Gulf? _ It should be the ISlamic Gulf

Khar Khodetooneen

ba oonkeh een "poll" ra bardashteh jooneh ammash.

In a country whose regime destroys even its own founders like Montazeri, Khatami, Abtahi, Ganji, etc., which idiot actually believes that a phone call made to a randomly selected household will be answered honestly and attach any statistical significance to it whatsoever?  If so, then Saddam Hussein was loved by 99% of Iraqis, including Kurds he gassed, and anyone who denies this rejects reality.

If this poll were actually correct, why does the regime fear so much any expression of dissent, such that it has closed down and imprisoned the staff of so many newspapers, and does not allow even the slightest peaceful expression of a green slogan, and constantly harrasses and threatens people like Mousavi and Karroubi, let alone those who are not founders of this bankrupt ideology.

Bereen Jamesh Koneen badbakhthaye beevatan.  Khar Khodetooneen and you know it.  But hey, at least you fulfilled your daily quota of required pro regime BS posting which nobody (including yourselves) would take seriously.

And regarding the "glory" of the Islamic republic, yes, you are right.  Such an accomplished success story has so much to be proud of:

-stoning of women, amputation of thieves

-murdering, rape, and imprisonment without trial of unarmed peaceful citizens in the streets by ansare hezbollah terrorists on government payroll

-world's largest prison for reporters

-biggest brain drain in the world, when other countries like India and S Korea are experiencing a REVERSE brain drain

- wholesale takeover of the civilian economy by the stateless terrorist military in no bid non competitive contracts

-still after 31 years of hot air, an oil based economy with CRUDE oil as primary exports

-one of the worst transportation safety record in the world

-one of the most economically isolated and most pariah regimes of the world

-one of the most socially and politically backward regimes in the world, frowned on by the rest of planet Earth

-the only foreign allies this regime has are stateless terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas, and the anti human regimes in China and North Korea - and even those all for a hefty fee of course

This is why I guess Americans, South Koreans, Malaysians, Thais, Japanese, Turks, and Persian Gulf Arabs are lining up at the embassies of the Islamic republic worldwide trying to get visas to Iran and work and live there, and not the other way around.

Like I said, khar khodetooneen, va bereen jamesh koneen.

Hi Mouse,

   I have to read the post at home.....'cause my computer at work can't process your fonts......that is a bummer!

Thank you!

你明白我在写什么？这是否有意义？  

Everything is sacred

iran would have been way ahead of south korea and turkey and india had the dirty mullahs not been INSTALLED

Well said!

Shushtari

I don't care whether YOU think 90% of the Iranian people want an end to the IRI, your opinion is worthless unless you can support if with evidence. I am sure 90% of people like you think the same way, but yours is a marginal point of view compared to 70 million Iranians.

Same goes for the communist, Roozbeh.

20 years after communism was assigned to the dust bin of history, there are still some people who can't accept it. 

You rejected the outcome of the election, you reject the results of this poll....isn't it fair to say you reject reality itself?

shutruk, keep repeating the same old discredited nonsense, but:

Your beloved Islamist regime would be despatched to the dustbin of the history  by this minority within hours of pulling it's armed bassiji  gangs of thugs and murderers from every street corner of Iran, and you, sargord, fearful one, pino_Q, al_farsi,etc will be all jobless... 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

I think you haven't been to iran lately...

i WOULD SAY AT LEAST 90% OF THE PEOPLE HATE THE GUTS OF THE GODDAMN AKHOONDS

these apologists keep yapping about 'progress'.....all the akhoonds have progressed in is stealing iran's wealth for themselves or giving it away to arab terrorists

iran would have been way ahead of south korea and turkey and india had the dirty mullahs not been INSTALLED

POLL? HA HA HA, Here's the interview

Translated from Farsi for the non-farsi speaking, but mullah's ass-kissing readers 

ring ring...

- Hello 

- Greetings, my name is so and so and I am calling to ask your opinion about Iran's nuclear program.

-(silence).....and then...oh, sorry, who did you say you are?

- So and so, by the way, this is an independent survey and no body will know what answers you give to each survey question...it's anonymose.

- aha...well, do I have to take part? I'm really busy..

- Well, it is your national duty to ensure ...ehem...that the revolution lives on and Iran remains strong...but this is not a formal survey..did I mention that?

- ehhh..OK, ....yes, I agree with everything and believe that we MUST have nukes, I mean nuclear power....

- But I haven't asked any questions yet.

- That's OK, I agree...with everything...every thing.

____________

IRAN FIRST

____________

.....

I fess up that I did not read this article.....I only read the title.....that is enough!

the new poll shows Sargord was right

Ha! No one has 'fessed up. 

Come on self-exiled Iranians. Admit it, you are wrong! 

.........

I am pretty sure people will vote for clean air (or quality domestically produced gasoline) over the nukes! Lets see how long people can endure the smog generated from low quality gasoline...... How much sacrifce do Iranian people have to make for the nukes?

Roozbeh

That's precisely your problem. You see a crowd of people shouting "marg bar Khamenei!" and you think they represent the entire Iranian people.

This poll shows the Iranians are not monolithic - they are divided, as you and I are on just about everything. But there are more people like me inside Iran than there are like your good self.

If Iranians hated the IRI, as is claimed by many on this site, they would not have voted with an *85%* turnout in a referendum on the current leadership of the country.

You represent a minority view. Deal with it!

What's amazing about these

What's amazing about these polls is their consistency. 

Well folks, 'fess up and admit I've been right the past 16 months. 

how do u say BS....

this 'poll' is good as toilet paper

I personally witnessed another poll, last summer......

In which tens of millions of Iranains fed up with the Islamist regime voted with their feet by marching on streets of Iran, shouting "death to dictator" and burning the pictures of Khamenei and Khomeini the founder of the islamist republic, before being subdued by beatings, killings, rapes and tortures at the hands of Grand children of Shaban-bi-mokh, this time at service of velayate faghih.

I believe in that poll!! 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

What a none-sense!

It is amazing how in the 21st century there are still people who hide behind such symbols as Zoroaster, sacred fire and as such simply because of their own incompetence to comprehend history  and its dynamics.It is not just naive but shear stupid to expect that Iran would still be an Empire riding on top of the world retaining Zoroastrianism as religion. 

Historical case at hand is that by the time Arabs invaded Persia during Darius III, Persians were greatly suffering from corruption of all kinds all the way down to peasants. remind you, Zoroaster was still the prophet at the time.

Zoroaster was certainly a great historic character, but like any other great men, he was also a stepping stone for man's evolution.

I am sure if he was alive, he would be utterly ashamed of some of his supposedly fans as backward as they are here @ IC and in the rest of the world.

Time to grow up!

Jehad ta Fath Circus

You are proposing and promoting the fight and Then accusing Others of wanting afight???

Moozi bazi is not going to work with the crowd at the IC. You need to take your shiet and that God forsaken "trasnformation" that has taken place in iran, Plus all the "studies" that you are doing in god knows what rat hole and stick it where the sun don't shine  .

The show is over. It is Exit time.

Simorgh

Vel kon! Your Zartoshti nonsense does not wash with the Muslim people of Iran and you must surely realize this. I suppose people in Europe and America should go back to worshipping Thor and Odin and the pagan gods of old. Are you smoking some herbs? May Ahura Mazda and the Faravahar be with you, friend!

But if it is a fight you want then I will happily defend the homeland from traitors like yourself who side with the Israelis and Arab tyrannies.

Jehad ta Fath!

Poll my finger!

I wish the result of this poll, whose local conductor's identity remains unknown was supporting the premise of some learned friends who claim Iran is a place for wine, and dine close to fire and dance. 

All I say is this, though: Now, the IRI should not have any fear of having a referendum, just to get it over with. You set the date, we will be there. No cheating though.

Never increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything.

Even if this poll is

Even if this poll is accurate. I mean even if we were to suspend disbelief and entertain that the findings of this poll were accurate do you know what I say?

The liberation of Iran is to save its culture, heritage and to liberate it of its Islamic dominance. Any Iranian who sides with the Islamic Republic has inadvertently negated himself of his nationality. They are human garbage. Iran does not belong to them any more than Jersulalem belongs to the Palestinians. Iranians who side with the Islamic Republic are settlers and occupiers. 

Iran is a country of Zoroaster, the Sacred Fire, wine, coilour, dance, singing and joy. Islam is a religion of darkness, wailing, crying, maryrdom, self mutilation, stoning, retribution, decay, slavery of women, hijab and death.

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. It is that simple.

Free Iran. Death to the Islamic Republic. Please support military action to remove this cancer from my country. And those that side with the Islamic Republic may they perish! They are nothing but collateral damage.

Amazing

how a massive anti IRI propaganda and sanctions have not been able to put a dent into aspirations of Iranian nation.

No one can derail such a national determination even with hurting sanctions. In fact, the more reaction to Iranian nuclear program, the more is Iranians conviction so far as their nuclear aspiration is concerned.

Keep pressuring Iran. That is when when you see Iranians at their best.
