Death to the mullocracy that is Iran! Freedom for the people! Theocracy? What a sick joke! Iran is no more a theocracy than it is a Disneyland! How can it possibly be called a theocracy when it is so cruel, so brutal? Is this what God, Allah, wants? If it is, then He is not worthy of worship! Down with this sham theocracy! Restore the Peacock Throne! Bring back the Shah! – © Mark Alexander
