Asix and half months of clashes after a suspicious tainted election that has divided the nation of Iran, where is taking now the green movement with its civil protest?
The Iranian clerical regime has been telling its own people that foreign forces are fomenting the opposition movement, but the people of Iran doesn't believe in it anymore. One thing for sure, the Iranian people have had enough and wants now a change on the top!
Even after the conservative Islamic cleric dominated state has been taking steps to restrict the flow of information to the outside world (especially with the usual banning of the foreign press), the Iranian people have found ways to communicate and let us know their current situation, with a flow of crude images of beatings and murdering.
The Islamic Republic of Iran moving toward a procrastinated destiny
Are these protests taking Iran to a new Iranian revolution? For the time being this is not a revolution, or maybe it is the start of a new one! Well, we'll see how history will play it out... For the moment what we are witnessing is, a regime that is oppressing its own people with brutal forces by operating its own repressing mechanisms to prevent the reformist movement from freely express their dissent for the lack of justice and freedom in their own nation.
Humanity can't be chained and restricted from its own freedoms for very long, and because of its inherited condition of being born free, humanity, soon a later will rebel with excessive force to its own tyrant.

IRAN - Road to Freedom
Looks to me that since this world came to be doesn't matter what part of it an individual lives in or what religion he practices in it, but when comes to personal freedoms any single individual living in this our planet will fight his oppressors with last of his remaining forces to defeat them!
Bella ciao, Iran
We, the people of the free world are with you in your fight for freedom and democracy.
Christians can criticize Christianity, even Jews can criticize Judaism, why Muslims cannot criticize Islam. If someone tries to criticize Islam, he does so at the risk of his own safety. I do believe that, even Islam should not be above criticism!!!
The freedom that the Western societies are enjoying is based largely on, the freedom of speech and the right to criticize politicians, and ultimately even religions. These rights are the backbones of freedom, and this truth is embedded in the Western Civilizations, and it is sacred for everyone that believes in it, even more than religions. If this basic concept can't be accepted by the Muslim world, consequently Islam can't be a part of this modern and free world.
Can be there a real dialog with Islam?
I personally doubt it. At least, not with this kind of Islam! Islam isn't just a religion, but also a political identity which preaches violence. Islam is to be accepted the way it is. It can't be changed, or can't it be questioned. Islam must be accepted as an all, or otherwise a Muslim isn't a real Muslim, or worst this Muslim can even pay with his own life whenever he tries to question its teachings.
Can Islam be reformed?
If Islam wants to play a role in this world, then Islam needs a radical transformation, not just to reform itself, or otherwise Islam can't be a part of this modern world. If this doesn't happens, then in a long run Islam will lose the battle. Islam has only two choices left: to change or to be subdued.
What we are witnessing today isn't a clash of two religions or two cultures, but it's the clash of two mentalities, one belonging to the modern age, and the other one still rooted in an archaic era.
Islam is a very oppressing religion, especially towards those that are different, or not believers. In particular, the special treatment reserved from this sort of religion to the Muslim women, in which they are dealt like they were sub-humans. I end here saying: only Muslims defend their believes by killing and destroying what isn't Muslim. That's the Islam way. If they can't impose their own beliefs on it, then they will destroying it!
Not other religion, or beliefs, acts in such cowardly ways as, "Islam".

More on the subject of Islam in the following videos from a very brave lady:
The freedom to think and voice out our own opinions is the way of a civilized and democratic society in which, a real free society is based on. Now, someone can disagree with Geert Wilders' movie "FITNA" that's his choice, but at least that's what we, people from the Western societies do. At the contrary, in the Muslims societies if they don't agree with someone view they don't just speak out angrily, but they also threaten to end his life only because he may disagree with, their moralities and culture. Are Geert Wilders, playing with people’s emotions?
Wilders has said that his movie is a "last warning for the West"
That's a statement for everyone to analize and comment on.

Fears of Muslims violence in the wake of the movie.
I perceiving from this occurring event, as well, by many other similar past events from some radical Muslims outrage and cowardly mischiefs that, they are trying to silence and cripple the free speech and the freedom of expression in our societies. We, the Western societies are enjoying freedom after many centuries of fighting injustices, dictatorships and bigotries of any sorts and now, the danger of obscurantism is glowing on us all over again. This threat, coming from the Islam world will overshadow and undermine what the people of the free world have fought very hard for so long. Our only way to defend ourselves from a new dark age is, to fight it with the freedom of speech!
Right now, radical Muslims are engaging us in a war of ideologies and terrorism, but what will come next if, we the free societies won't win this battle? It will be the end of what we firmly believe today, our way of life and our own beliefs!
Now, to be more clear on the subject of free speech, I want to post here an answer I gave on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 regarding this thorny issues in a friend of mine blog: "pedestrianinfidel.blogspot.com"
young_activist, I'll be the first to criticize Christianity if, it will be in the same league as Islam.
Christianity maybe was like Islam in the past but, it has since evolved. The real problem with Islam is that, it has never changed from its conception. Islam is a "religion" based on barbaric and archaic beliefs, which go against any human rights.
Christians are ready to criticize even their own religion if, this one starts to dictate some weird and mindless "divine guidances", that go against any human rationalities or, all together even leave his/her own religion if, necessary.
Do you know why?
Because, we are free minded people and no one, even religion should tell us to accept blindly every thing it tells us.
If, someone decide to make a movie about Christianity I won't be offended because if, the movie is telling something true about my religion I will accept it but, if the movie will be based on a lie, soon or later the truth will come out anyway, and for sure I won't be looking for the movie's producer in a premeditated attempt to murder him because of his/her ideas! We live in a free world, so let anyone make hes/her own decisions good or bad they can be, even to criticize a religion with a movie.
Now, I hope you get the difference between Muslims and Christians.

Yesterday, I went once again in liveleak.com to re-watch the movie "FITNA", but to my (not so) surprise that's what I found:
“Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one. Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.”
Fortunately, the movie can be still watched in youtube.com, until (of course) it's there:
FITNA the movie-Enemy of allahhhh!!!
Part 1
Part 2
Islam is a complete way of life, not a Sunday religion.
Many of us, may not agree with Geert Wilders' view of Islam but, we will never show our disapproval of someone opinion with homicidal rage, that's so barbaric and uncivilized.
Signing off...an enragedRed.eVolution.
P.S. The Movie "FITNA" can be watched once again in liveleak.com
** 30/3/2008: Liveleak Update **
On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.
The Internet has become the equalizer because, is the place where differences of any sort won't count, is a big cauldron of mix cultures and identities, where we are all equal.In the cyberspace, there are no differences of religion or background, but only differences in opinions and expressions.
Each of us, in the cyberspace is a part of a different community. The Internet, has become a big factor in many lives and, specially in those belonging to the blogging communities. In this virtual world, where conceptual thinking becomes the norm and, the spectrum of ideas and expressions is vary vast because, the freedom we get from it. This fictitious world doesn't divide us, but at the contrary unite us, in the equality of freedoms and, opportunities which we get from it. The freedom to right, read, or think and, the opportunity to choose from. We are in control of this abstract world, we can be creative as we like or, when we like.
Also, for some people the Internet is a lifeline. People like: severely ill people, lonely people or, stay home moms. People which sometime are forcibly bound in their own homes because, the reasons I mentioned above or, for any other reasons. Why I'm writing this, because I am one of these people, I am a very ill person. After reading, some blog's post of people in my same situation, I came to realize that, I'm not alone! There are many people with my same condition or, any other condition for which, the Internet represent the only connection with the world even if, it's a virtual one.
Blogging, has become a global phenomenon because all the reasons above, and more.We, can get by without television for a day or so but, with the Internet? With Internet I don't think so, because it's so ingrained in our lives and, I don't believe we can do without it. So, what's the Internet for you?
