Shocking proof of support for Baha'is by perfidious Albion

In my previous post I noted that Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki had accused Britain, inter alia, of sup[porting members of the Baha'i faith, a religion that was founded in Persia in the 19th Century and which has faced severe persecution in Iran under the regimes of the Shah and the Mullahs and also in Rgypt.

I can confirm exclusively that Mottaki's allegation is absolutely true. the Bush Blair Corporation (as stalwart progressive and friend of the oppressed everywhere George "Stalinist Shithead" Galloway calls it) has had the temerity to give extensive television time to Britain's most prominent Baha'i.



Well there you have it. I hope you enjoyed Omid Djalili's comedy as much as I do!

Just to be clear I am mocking the rubbish that has emanated from teh mouth of Iran's foreign minister. It is certainly not my intention to mock a faith that has been persecuted horribly under both the Mullahs and the Shah

An Iranian post that does not feature Ahmadinejad

I'm still trying to get over my disgust at the disgraceful sentence handed out by the Saudi judiciary to the Girl from Qatif (scroll down a few posts). Before I get as disgusted at the Iranian judiciary over the sentence of jail and lashes handed out to Iranian women's rights activist Delaram Ali, I thought I would post yet more you tube fodder. This time it's a couple of Anglo Iranian comedians and a wonderful singer.

First here's Darya Dadvar performing at the Iran Heritage Foundation Norouz gala in London earlier this year. Enjoy!




Here's some of Omid Djalili's stand up routine



Omid is British born. His family is Bah'ai which may well explain why he is here and not in Iran, given Iran's disgraceful treatment of this religion.

Here's Shappi Khorsandi



Her father was a comedian too. He lampooned Khomeni in 1985 and was given a choice of leaving Iran and living or staying and and running the risk of one of the many death threats coming true...

Watch this space for me raving over Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, one of the best graphic novels ever written
