In the next 24 hours, Iranian protestors will be beaten and killed; plz keep them in your thoughts and prayers (regime, Obama)

22 Bahman aka 2/11 is the anniversary of the islamic revolution. The Green Movement will be out in force and you know what that means: Their Blood Will Spill.

The time in Iran is now... ~4:30 AM 2/11. Clashes will start in a matter of hours.

Please pray for the safety and welfare of the Iranian people while they fight for what we take for granted: freedom. God bless.

Yes, I agree. Will Democratic nations step up the pressure if it gets out of hand? If the past 12 months is any measure, then we all know the answer to that.

Wait...what is going on? Their revolution of Islam or whatever is....to beat up their own prisoners?

I am not trying to be funny..I am sincerely confused. He made it seem like a huge nuclear bomb was being built.

Obama will do what he always does;speak on it and get side tracked on the evils of capitalism.

With so many Muslim-bashing threads, this is a welcome thread (one asking us to think of others and pray for their safety):

I don't believe in prayer but I will hope lots of innocents are not killed. I think it kind of goes without saying innocent people will probably die.

My prayer goes to these protesters, hopefully they achieve the freedom they want.

It is heartening to see but as the current regime disarmed the Iranian populous, victory from any revolt would be unlikely. The change will have to come from within.
