Iran: "Protests almost toppled regime," mullah Jannati says
http://ncr-iran.org/content/view/8595/1/
NCRI - Last year’s popular protests in Iran almost led to the downfall of the Iranian theocracy, a senior clerical regime official said on Wednesday.
According to the state-run Jahan News, the head of the regime’s Guardian Council, Ahmad Jannati said in a speech on Wednesday that the post-June 2009 uprising aimed to overthrow the Iranian regime, which is based on the principle of velayat-e faqih or absolute clerical rule.
“In the 21 years that [Ali Khamenei] has been Supreme Leader, there have been many domestic and foreign seditions, the most ominous of which were the 2009 events.”
Clearly fearful of the overthrow of the theocracy, the Secretary of the Guardian Council, also said, “[They] were under the impression that the revolution is over and nothing will remain of the establishment, because this was a soft war and people would distance themselves from the regime. And, when the establishment loses the people’s backing, it would automatically collapse.”
Jannati added, “In addition to the vast sedition of 2009, in the course of the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei, there were other examples which on a number of occasions even went close to toppling the establishment.”
Iran Protest & Pink Floyd: Hey, Ayatollah! Leave those kids Alone!
http://www.worldofjudaica.com/jewish-news/international/iran-protest-with-pink-floyd-ayatollah/469/09/
Two exiled Iranian brothers living in Canada are bringing Pink Floyd into the fight against the totalitarian Muslim regime. Pink Floyd, specifically singer Roger Waters, gave the two-man show, Blurred Vision, rights to parody their hit “Another Brick in the Wall,” now available on iTunes and YouTube under the title “Hey, Ayatollah, leave those kids alone!” Coincidentally, the ever popular Pink Floyd anthem was written in 1979, the same year as the Islamic Revolution in the now Shariah country.
Waters agreeing to allow the anti-Ayatollah parody could be seen as rather confusing, since he was once quoted as mocking Hillary Clinton for being steadfast in her anti Iranian stance during her presidential run in 2008, expressing shock that she voted to declare the regimes army a terrorist organization.
“Please God, let’s not have this woman!” he said of Clinton back in 2008. ”Hillary will want to make her mark and show that she can be just as good as a male president, and she will (expetive) invade Iran. Trust me. She voted to declare the Iranian Republican Guard a terrorist organisation!”
Waters was also seen spray painting the West Bank separation wall several years ago with the words “No thought control”, also a jingle from the popular hit.
The reworked version was shot by Iranian film director Babak Payami. It contains real footage from the Iranian election protests of 2009 and a lookalike of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to one of the Blurred Vision brothers, they chose the song because it has become an underground youth anthem for the opposition. Both refuse releasing their full names for fear of reprisals to family members still in the country.

FOXNews.com - U.S. Atheists Reportedly Using Hair Dryers to 'De-Baptize'
FOXNews.com - U.S. Atheists Reportedly Using Hair Dryers to 'De-Baptize'
The dryer, it burns!
The dryer, it burns!
American atheists lined up to be "de-baptized" in a ritual using a hair dryer, according to a report Friday on U.S. late-night news program "Nightline."
Leading atheist Edwin Kagin blasted his fellow non-believers with the hair dryer to symbolically dry up the holy water sprinkled on their heads in days past. The styling tool was emblazoned with a label reading "Reason and Truth."
Kagin believes parents are wrong to baptize their children before they are able to make their own choices, even slamming some religious education as "child abuse." He said the blast of hot air was a way for adults to undo what their parents had done.
"I was baptized Catholic. I don't remember any of it at all," said 24-year-old Cambridge Boxterman. "According to my mother, I screamed like a banshee ... so you can see that even as a young child I didn't want to be baptized. It's not fair. I was born atheist, and they were forcing me to become Catholic."
Kagin doned a monk's robe and said a few mock-Latin phrases before inviting those wishing to be de-baptized to "come forward now and receive the spirit of hot air that taketh away the stigma and taketh away the remnants of the stain of baptismal water."
Ironically, Kagin's own son became a fundamentalist Christian minister after having "a personal revelation in Jesus Christ."
"One wonders where they went wrong," he chuckled to the TV show.
