Reminds me of the days when I was hunkered down in the bushes with “a few good men.” We all realized that we had more in common with the men we hunted than those who sent us to hunt them.

See on window written in English Merry Christmas Happy New Year… Mmm and all the Christmas things Santa and works never thought out do Christmas things local stores carry.. Makes you wonder ..
If you were to ever go to Iran you would find that english is everywhere. All of the major traffic signs are in english as well as in farsi. Most educated people there speak passable english. While it’s probably in part a legacy of the strong british influence there, english is the international language of business and in Iran it is what is used to speak to people from other countries. Anyway I’m pretty sure that all the christmas stuff is imported so its probably kind of hard to find christmas writings in the persian language.
Kid’s friend is from Iran. Good kid, good family. The people who have such a hard time differentiating (or even knowing that there is a difference) between the various cultures in the middle-east are missing out on a lot valuable information. They are more different between themselves than some of them are from a normal American. That lack of understanding and information is what has allowed – and is allowing – so many American’s to be manipulated and used badly without even knowing it.
There’s only 3 holdouts left, right? Cuba, Iran, N. Korea. They clearly need to get some red white and blue democracy, balls deep.

Nice pictures of what’s left of Iran’s Christians. Of the 80+ million Iranians, there are still some 300K Christians in the nation. They may be some of the deepest faith Christians on the planet as they have to go through forced impoverishment and Jizya ( the Islamic added tax on non-muslims)
Two years ago I was in the West Bank ( and also visited Gaza) for Christmas in Bethlehem and was amazed to see the difference in how people live and how our media portrays things. Gorgeous hotels and ancient homes, swimming pools, seaside resorts on the Mediterranian ( Gaza) and the Gold District is a thing to behold with vast ropes of gold chains, gold inlaid curtains and amazing jewelry. The bazaars and outdoor markets have that discernible smell. A mix of freshly butchered meats, produce tables, silken scarves and rugs, wool weaved fabrics and sweaty, burkhad populace mulling around with the mundane chores of life that we all do–grocery and clothes shopping, a few luxuries, a good cup of coffee and the occasional entertainment for distraction.
Believe little of what the CIA’s MSM shows and tells you—the great masses usually are content with their simple lives if the governments would just leave them the hell alone.
Typical neocon. Takes a drive-by dump on anything that conflicts with the zionazi narrative and then waxes euphorically about the eden that is occupied Gaza. The “Jizya” in Iran was abolished in the 19th century, Christians as will all religious minorities in Iran are guaranteed two seats in the Iranian Parliament, giving them greater proportional representation than muslims and the % of the Iranian population that is Christian is growing, not shrinking. My point of course was not to beat truth over the head of lies, because there will always be purveyors of lies such as yourself and it is a waste of time. Rather I just posted, without comment, pictures of ordinary Iranians living ordinary lives…which states my case far better than I could ever do with words.

Thanks for those pictures of the mortal enemies of Nikki Haley. It’s obvious our lives are at stake.

Compared to Christmas in all those Muslim country we “liberated”. There is true evil in this world and right now the good ol’ USA seems to be leading that charge. I used to think “we” were the good guys. It makes me sad.

I think if Zara posted this 8 years ago the responses would be quite different.
I personally remember Zara and myself getting into a big shitfest about Iranian calls of “Death to Israel”.
We owe Zara a debt of gratitude for never faltering all these years, and his continuing to educate folks here about the “real” Iran’. Thank you, sir.
All I know about that symbol on the Iranian flag is that a competition was held after the revolution and this thing was selected from submission by a graphic artist and judged by Khomeini or maybe by a panel of clerics. I never knew what it symbolized other than some islamic shit. To me it looks threatening and vulture-like. It could be a tulip. Ask a muslim.

Looks different than what I remember.

Wasn’t that set in N Africa?

And we hate the Iranians, why?
Oh yeah, the government told us to.
It just makes me hate zionists a bit more-when I didn’t think that was possible.
We’ll like them even more after they submit to letting a Rothschild owned central bank in there.

On a different subject, would you fuck a hot transsexual?

I was at B&N today reading/scanning various mags/books.
I read this about Iran;
— In some springtime holiday Iranians sing — “This spring be your good luck, the tulip fields be your joy”
— When Hussein (the grandson of Mohammed) was martyred, the legend has it that tulips sprang up from his blood.
— the drawing/art in the center of the current Iranian flag was purposely designed to look like a tulip.
Did you know about Iranian fascination with tulips? Does it mean anything … other than they just like tulips?
I suppose I could google it, but the library closes in half an hour …
Stuck,

Only if that transsexual was ….. YOU.
People keep forgetting, country and the government of that country are not the same thing. Oh….. that goes for USA USA USA too.
Aaand ….almost forgot, merry Christmas to all youse!
