What Makes the Recent Unrest Different
2018-01-09
[IRANWIRE] An editorial published in Iran’s Javan Newspaper, which is closely linked to the Revolutionary Guards, has set out reasons why the recent protests, which began in Mashhad on December 28 and began spreading to several provincial cities the next day, are unlike any previous unrest Iran has experienced over the last almost four decades.

The article was written by Dr. Abdollah Ganji, the paper’s managing editor, who holds a PhD in political science and is a professor at Allameh Tabatabaei University.

Recent spates of unrest in some cities in the country have, in their own way, brought a new experience to the people and the state that can add to earlier experiences and offer new and different lessons and attitudes. These instances of unrest have characteristics that make them different from all other riots, protests and unrest after the revolution, although they might share certain aspects with previous cases in terms of how foreigners have handled it.

#1  The decisions rest with Khameni and IRGC. Were will you sit when the music stops?

Iran is my biggest problem as a Nation State.
It makes the Sunni crazy.

On the other hand, where would my Shia be with no state sponsor?

The mind reels but again, the islam is supposed to be stateless, no?

So convert or die belongs to anyone that does not believe your brand of islam, no?

I have no clue how you all involved GOD Almighty in your little un-checked book but I do recall an edict that anyone who tries to add or take away from MY Bible should be put to death.

What do you think about those apples?

Had I sat in Mine Temple and looked at you from there, you may have learned that I AM not with you.

Who names their nation "The Race"?

You are foreigners with foreign and alien law that Persians only have to deal with temporarily. Or maybe they can correct Persia all by themselves.

But I will be watching... and tweeting.
