Since there are debates lately amongst those who don't like to see the Shiro Khorsheed Flag  displayed at demo's I thought it would be interesting for you to see how their Favorite Colour was selected before the Elections.

LOTTERY:

Yellow: Karoubi 

Green: Mousavi

Red: Ahmadinejad ( the Guy who holds the red ball is no other than Mehdi Kalhor the  cultural Advisor of Ahmadinejad who asked the Retrievel of Marjane Satrapi's Film from the Cannes Film festival in 2007)

Blue: Rezaei

 

Reformist Ex President Mohamad Khatami say's Impossible to have Democracy without Islam:

Come on Q.  Don't

by Anonymouse on Wed Jul 29, 2009 04:29 AM PDT

Come on Q.  Don't be like that.  The whole idea of the green movement is to be together.  Especially, the more the better, from all sides because the less the same old status quo.  Come on get on with the program. 

Everything is sacred.

The many meanings of green

by javaneh29 on Wed Jul 29, 2009 02:35 AM PDT

GREEN is the colour of hope, growth, youth. In mythology it is known for immortality and resurection... the Egyptian god Osiris.

 It symbolises deomocracy, non violence and social justice and environmentalism,  and is used for many organisations .... Greenpeace for example. Its the colour of prosperity ... used for bank notes the £, $'s etc.

In Iran green was the colour used in poetry سبز گندم گون sabz-gandom-gun(literally "green wheat colored") or سبز مليح sabz-malih ("a green beauty").

For  traffic lights universally it means 'go'. 

In love means jelousy, it represents Islam in flags, in nature and the army, its the colour of camouflage, its the colour of witchcraft, decay, in the far east its seen as the colour for sickness and nausea.

So green has many meanings

Why do you say "YOUR" color?
Green looks great on you, as does the Hezbollah style headband.

if you don't want 'rivers of blood in the streets' and/or a foreign-installed puppet government where Iranians blame someone else every time their nephew sneezes (the latter ain't gonna happen under Obama anyway..)..

take it or leave it. It is what it is.

It wouldn't matter if they pulled the balls out of a toilet

The fact will still remain the same, which is the masses of people are on the move and they have chosen to rally behind green color.

Our GREEN color has its roots

by Mardom Mazloom on Tue Jul 28, 2009 07:19 PM PDT

in Mitraism. A francophone like you should have read Salomon Reinach, « La morale du Mithraïsme », Cultes, mythes et religions, Tome II, Éd. Ernest Leroux, Paris, 1906.

The GREEN color was the symbol of resistance and liberty for persians before Islam and without knowing these historical facts it became again our color for freedom.

The color designating AN was the national flag...

Further, in a real democracy, people has to choose their flag like what happened in Canada with the maple leaf emblem, and imposing one's choice on this matter is to be as despot as A.N. or K.R.

I've seen Iran's map in red, a huge red blob on white resembling blood stain and red apple avatars recently used by some friends who are sworn enemies of the left and "communists". Very distracting to say the least :o) can't keep track of who's supporting Iranians anymore.

Their red is ala red

by Anonymouse on Tue Jul 28, 2009 08:40 AM PDT

Their red is ala red state blue state. The red avatar was there before and Republicans or Communists or those who just like red color use it ;-)

Thanks DK

by IRANdokht on Tue Jul 28, 2009 07:53 AM PDT

It's good to know that calling the green "sabz seyyedi" and feeling all offended by the color was just a load of crap! ;-)

On a different note, it was fun to watch grown men get so excited over a few colored balls applauding each color like a little kid. Thank Goodness Mousavi didn't end up with the yellow... not so many positive things to say about that in Farsi!

I now wonder why some of the Iranians are starting to use red in their
avatars etc... Have you noticed them too? Does that mean they're supporting Ahmadinejad?
