Tehran Today 6/21/09

This is a link to a video of what is happening in Tehran today. It is not as graphic as some others I've heard about. I can only say that because I cannot bear to watch them.

Here are some articles:
پخش زنده برنامه های تلويزيونی فائزه هاشمی آزاد شد "ده کشته" و "یکصد زخمی" در درگیری های دیروز تهران چه کسانی پس از اعلام نتایج انتخابات بازداشت شده اند؟ درخواست موسوی از مردم حین درگیری های تهران
Oh my. You don't read Farsi, do you? How about this? Try the Google Translator. Remember to copy the text you want to translate, then click on Google translator.

If you would like to add this to your blog, here is the code: /* ---( )--- */ (Put the HTML back together first.) I can't get it work for me so if you can, please let me know how you did it. ;)

Here is the link to the article and video from BBC news. I like the way the protesters back down the monsters who are doing the killing. Animals.

UPDATE: This just in from Winston. The title of this is "Iran Street Clashes Despite 'Several Deaths'", but I call it "Afraid No More!" (Video by MiddleEastNews. from SkyNews tv.)


If there is a problem with this video, please watch this over at YouTube. ('Bout time they stopped censoring, eh?)

Do you think maybe they've been watching too many American news reports? Agh. So what! They have had it with their oppressors, and I'm glad. Let us pray for their safety, success, freedom, Liberty, and sense of responsibility. Let them truly enter the community of the world with peace. Amen.

PS. If you disagree, I don't care. I understand the risks. What if someone worse comes along, right? I do not believe they will stand for it. Not after being oppressed for 30 years. Ask the Iraqis.

PSS. I do care. What I meant by what I said is that I've been following Iran for many years now, and I've also been praying for them. Are you aware there are over one million Christians in Iran and several Jews? Yes. This is a fact. So do I care about the Muslims? Not the ones who are doing all the murdering but yes, I do. God did not make just some of us. When He sent His Son to earth as our Saviour, He sent Him for everyone. Not just you and me. We should all care. That's all.

May you walk with the LORD always, and when you cannot take another step, may He carry you the rest of the way until you can walk along side Him again.
