Iranians in our area are standing with the protesters overseas. A few local Iranians in Baldwin County were busy today getting ready for a demonstration later this week. They were making signs in support of efforts to bring more freedom and change to the Islamic state. Organizers say they hope the protests in Iran will help change the hard line government there.

“You know the government talking about being a republic but really how can you be a republic government while the people you represent can't speak of their mind,” says Iran native Ebrahim. The participants in this story asked us not to use their last names or post video to the web. They were concerned about harassment from the Iranian government if they travelled home.

Mobile area Iranians are planning a demonstration Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 from 11 am to 1 pm. It'll be at Memorial Park near the cannon.

Kx Vicious….No where close to racism,unlike others that post I will not play the P.C. game to make my self sound like the hold world wants to “hold hands and drink a coke” I have nothing in common with these people,they live by different rules and beliefs.If they had a choice of me living next to them or other Iranians they would pick the Iranians,not out of hate,but out of cultural differences.People tend to stick to their own kind(Birds of a feather flock together)and I will use the same line of thinking for other races,by force and laws that have been passed we are forced to work together,but when it comes lunch time you will see blacks lined up on one side of the room and whites on the other,“why"lack of common interests and differences in culture.This country can pass all the laws it wants to force the different races of people to come together,it’s not going to happen.

Well I guess it could be worse…they could be black or asian….

Don’t you see how racist you sound??? Your racism against Persians automatically invalidates any good point you may have possibly had.

KxVicious….Get real,I have never been to Iran nor do I have the desire to go.I have a summer place in TN.and most of the residents in the condo.complex are Iranians now,I have been involved with a lot of them,and that is why I now have that condo. up for sale.

laal…..That’s exactly my point,evidently you don’t read and comprehend well.They are protesting what they think was a free election,it was not,no one out of the clear blue can decide to run,it has to be sanctioned by their Gov.authority figures.Once again,they are not trying to make a regime change,they still want to live by their laws and religion.They are not protesting because they want a election like we have here in the west.So once again they are not accomplishing anything.

Fred I read the news I know about everything you have posted! I know there would be little change in Iran if Mousavi won. Thats not the point of this post its about free elections! Do you not know how to read, or are you too rapped up in your own briliance to understand.

How much time have you spent in Iran? How many Iranian friends do you have? Our media sensationalizes whatever it wants, and you know that…

Kx Vicious…Yes the westboro..klan is as far as I am concerned a bunch of idiots,but you can not under any circumstances compare them to the mass amount of Iranians that hate America.Absolutely no comparison.

Radicals are radicals no matter where you go.

Imagine if some of the only footage of the US you ever saw was the Westboro Baptist Church and other Christian radicals???

laal…You bump a..,do you ever read or listen to any politics?Its easy to verify anything I say,if you are smarter than a “PET ROCK” The reason I keep posting is because I read posts like yours and I am so truly amazed at how stupid you sound I am just simply amazed.

Bottom line for me is,I do not respect or sympathize with a country of people that want to destroy the west,as seen in many news casts,on Iranian missiles,kill all Americans and thousands of people in the streets burning our flag and screaming “DEATH TO AMERICA"I think I have been pretty nice about all this don’t you? But I will now say how I truly feel…..

“DEATH TO IRAN” the sooner the better before they acquire “NUKES"and use them to inflict pain and suffering on Israel and next the West.
