How does the Islamic Republic survive

How? Same way it came to power. Murder and manipulation.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on

USA/France/UK all helped bring IRI to power & love Islam in power because it serves a vital economic and political function for them.  The goal for them is to Africanize the middle east and North Africa, including Iran, by using the neo-colonialist policy known as "a clash of civiliizations," which they are manufacturing using agent provocateurs.  The wests economic reason is so they can have access to more resources, by having Iranians consume less of them, in order to do that you need less education, a stagnant economy and only a group of religious fundamentalists who care nothing for Iran are unpatriotic enough to do the job.  In Summary: You have a King that fought day and night, most of his life especially for the last 30 years of it to deliver peace, progress and human rights for Iranians and they showed their appreciation in 1979 by betraying him.  The AN-tellectuals were manipulated because they did not know the definition of Dictator and they mis-represented the shah as one which he was not.  Some of The Antellectuals now know what a dictator is due to 1979 and yet some of them still cling on to the lies of the past, because some still haven't figured out those were just lies created by enemies of Iran, not iran's genuine democrats, in order to suppress Iranians social, economic & political development.  These are the tough facts far too many today have a hard time swallowing.

The answer is...(IMHO)

by AMIR1973 on

That the stinky mullahs outsmarted, outwitted, outmaneuvered, and outfought the so-called AN-tellectuals.

The Question to ask is?

by darius on

How is that possible that a group of  Mullah  defeat a large group of society  that  claimed to be antgellectual ?

ایا میشود گفت که ملت ایران وطن پرست هستند؟ و یا فقط شعار می دهیم

afshinazad


تا زمانی که ملت ایران مسئولیت را در خود بیدار نکند این دژخیمان درقدرت خواهند بود. کسی در ایران احساس مسئولیت نمی کند که ایران و منافع ملی در خطر است و تا زمانی که ملت احساس ملی خود را نیابد هیج چیزی تغیر نخواهد یافت.
دلیل باقی ماندن این رژیم و زنده ماندن ان ، اختلافات بچه گانه و وطن فروشهایی چون روشنفکرانی که مدعی ازادی بوده اند وهستند که دنبال دیکتاتوری خودشان هستند ، نه اینکه ایران فراتر از حزب و یا عقیده و یا پول هست، ایا تعداد کسانی که نگران ویرانی کشورهستند بیشتر از کسانی است که دنبال منافع شخصی هستند؟
ایا میشود گفت که ملت ایران وطن پرست هستند؟ و یا فقط شعار می دهیم ؟

It is notable that none of the oil-rich Mideast states have seen

by AMIR1973 on

large protests during the so-called "Arab Spring", with the exception of Libya, where Qaddafi's opponents received significant outside help. As long as these states have access to tens of billions of dollars each year in oil income, they can buy sufficient loyalty, as well as repression, to maintain power.
