    May 7 2011: Dear Tofig Ahmed,
    it was very small, but made Big by mafia.
    for example its fan page in Facebook could not reach even 100,000 fan (international).
    it is not comparable with majority of Iran people (80,000,000) doing their life.
    Iran resolution in 1979 had near
    just in Iran-Iraq war near 1,000,000 Iranian dedicated their life to Revolution and Khomeini.
    the 2010 protest can not be called revolution and was a game or play rather than revolution. no one of them are ready to spend their life and all of them fear.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War
    also 2010 protesters are right some and it is because of some problems in government. but it was small and also supported from out of Iran by money and heavy media advertise. it was not as big as media made it big. that protest was controlled and supported by some competitors of Iran and changed its original path and many people left it then.
    majority of people did not care about it. but one people learned to those protesters a lesson by a 2-3 Million . but International media did not show it:
    many photo you see about it are made by Photoshop and added a green color. they are not majority. they are very small minority. but their voice should be heard.
    now thousands of TV channels spread false news about Iran.
    dear brother, realty is in street. not what you see in anti-Iran TV channels.
    this is reply of Majority of Iran people to them:

    all these people love their revolution and are ready to dedicate their lives for Islam and Koran and revolution and Khomeini.
    but your TV channels do not show such news.
    they just show what has more benefit for them.
    
    I remember one time Khomeini had a heart disease and many people said we are ready to give our heart for health of Khomeini and not important for us to die.
    these people love Khomeini and life is their smallest gift to Khomeini.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruhollah_Khomeini
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran%E2%80%93Iraq_War
    
    Khomeini was a real close friend of God and people loved him for God.

      May 7 2011: Dear S.R.Ahmadi
      I will not argue with you about ur love to khomeini, but I want you to know that I do have Press TV on my satellite, I also have most of the Arabic channels, also CNN, BBC, France 24, CCTV, Russia today...
      The point is : I always look for different news source, different point of view, new way to look at things, and most importantly "I question everything".
      Are you willing to do that ?

      May 8 2011: Dear S. R. Ahmadi,
      No specific question, what I meant to say is that I don't buy all the stuff that being fed by some TV news I would rather search for the truth myself and with a very open mind taking out all pre assumptions ,beliefs ,even some of the most untouchable fundamentals that I've grown up with (I know it's hard) but remember that's exactly how Jesus & Mohammed started...by questioning everything !!!
      
      Look at my comment below in Bahrain, and you'll know what I mean.

    May 9 2011: Dear Tofig,
    I agree and respect your looking for truth.
    my question is:
    how much you think current Arab revolutions are influenced from Iran revolution?
    some say Iran revolution is a model for them. I want to know how much this is true.

    May 11 2011: Dear Salim,
    Lybia and Iran protests are very much different. I not want to advocate every manner of Iran Government. but they can not be compared.
    what are similarities?
    leaders?
    wealth of leaders?
    number of peoples killed by leaders?
    leader kill his people by military?
    what kind of similarity you see?
    also please do not believe every thing you see or hear from media or people.
    Imam Ali (peace on him) said
    the distance between lie and true is 4 finger.
    (distance of ear and eye)
