These Baha'is are doing good job

Thank you Payam, you are an obedient member of the Haifan UHJ, and I hope will full "Administrative Rights". One more interesting thing about Payam that he is training one of the daughter of Shirin Ebadi. I think Narges. The future Iran belongs to many of these kind of people, who are the toys in the hand of Haifan UHJ. If they do not obey the supreme body (UHJ), their Adminsitrative rights are taken.

I like this guy!

by Immortal Guard on Wed Apr 20, 2011 04:53 PM PDT

He speaks very calmly, is very eloquent and is a very literate man and also has very friendly demeanour and conscientious mind!

By the way if one can speak of religious rape then can one speak of religious love-making as well?

I don't care what the Green

by comments on Wed Apr 20, 2011 01:39 PM PDT

I don't care what the Green movement leaders did.  It's important what role they play now.  We have to believe in evolution.  People change, as well their ideas.  I don't think exluding individual and revolutionary supports will do any help for Iran democracy.  I don't care what their father/grandfathers did either.

Let's move on, unite with new reformists and their ideas and stop to stay in the past.

Grant

by Fred on Wed Apr 20, 2011 12:57 PM PDT

Has the Obama Administration restore the puny amount of grant to the much needed Iran Human Rights Documentation Center, or is still supporting the Islamist faction of the Green Movement whose leaders including Rafsanjani, Musavi, Karubi and Khatami have a lot to answer for the crimes done on their watch in the Islamist Rapist Republic?
