Heavy security surrounds demonstrators in Iran; clashes reported

Tehran, Iran (CNN) — Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched along Revolution Avenue in downtown Tehran on Monday, protesting the government of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, witnesses said.

The wave of people remained largely silent as they walked toward the capital city’s Azadi Square, though at one point they clashed with Iranian security forces that tried to disperse the marchers and divert them from the square.

    @ muslim always

    the rejection of Jesus christ by his chosen people.

    he came unto his own and his won reecieved him not john 1;1

    . have a little faith. tht’s all yu need to serve jesus christ.. your are asking baby questions. if you are depending on your logic and understanding then you will never serve jesus christ.

    for you are saved by graced thrugh faith

    without faith it is impossible to please God.

      I do not solely depend on my logic, I use it to decipher the evidence seen. I’m sorry, I must understand what I’m being asked to believe. Why send prophets to teach people if what is said at the end of the day in unintelligible? No thanks, faith must be built on accurate knowledge.

      Also, I am not a polytheist, I cannot worship a human being. I worship the one who sent Jesus = big difference!

    As I write this comment, I am listening to Mr Jerry Brisbane address the media regarding the decision of the Government to build a Palace to house the President at a cost of 27million dollars .As I listen to the questions being posed to Mr Brisbane by so called Journalists; It occurs to me that the problem in Dominica is more serious than we think.
    It’s a sad situation, when we have reached the stage where we the people who have elected this Government, are now afraid to ask questions, and demand answers to the serious situation that exist in the country. We need more Dominicans like Mr Brisbane, who have the “TESTICULAR FORTITUDE” to stand up to this Budding Dictatorship. Dominicans must undrstand that without serious ACTION on their part to STOP what is taking place, we are DOOMED !!
    Domonicans, remember “WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THE GOVERNMENT, THERE IS TYRANNY, BUT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT IS AFRAID OF THE PEOPLE, THERE IS DEMOCRACY.
    If you are as PATRIOTIC as you claim, now is the time to take a stand like the PEOPLE OF TUNISIA, EGYPT, AND NOW IRAN AND YEMEN, and stop this BUDDING DICTATORSHIP from taking hold in Dominica, failure to do so will result in a consequence, which you will not be able to explain to your children & grandchildren

    They soon say Dominica going to be like Iran and the government will send police to shoot people. Wait for the non sense. Anyway, history is being made in the Arab states and Muslim nations right now. Some people believe that it’s only Muslims out there, you have Christians Sikhs punjab and Hindu all out in those places. People should learn their stuff before they yap. I like Muslims and roll with em and they are an amazing people. They just fighting for their rights now like we once did and I support them the fullest. At least if they have proper government sat the end of it we might get less terrorism because America or Britain will be unable to yap about them. Fight the power!!!

      Israel is a filthy racist zionist state that has oppressed the Palestinian Christians and muslims for over 60 years.

      We believe in Jesus but we do not practice polytheism, worshipping both God and Jesus. We believe he is the messiah and will come back again to kill the false messiah (anti-christ). America will stick with Israel because America is a zionist state. They control the federal reserves.

      The days of Christianity are long gone. They had an empire called the Byzantine. The people left Christianity for Islam centuries ago. More people are embracing Islam rather than christianity! The west has spread lies and propaganda about Africa and Islam. Will you not use your intellect?

          How can Jews be chosen when they have rejected the Messiah?

        You that little girly Muslim always coming up with your cr(*. The world is big enough for all religions, but each of you feel that only yours is right. How stupid. Then you talking about using intellect. Intellect is the farthest thing from your brain. You are a follower.

          @ Funny guy? ‘Little girly muslim always?’ Is that how you hold a conversation by personal attacks? It proves my point that you lack maturity. I asked you a simple question, how can Jews be chosen when they have rejected the messiah? Now could you use your brain and answer the question please and stop your maypwe. You are the one behaving like a little female dog in heat. Thanks.

      How you want to tell the people who to praise? Jca praise Jesus and they had civil war too so don’t come with that crap. That’s the things with Dominicans. They never respect people rights and opinions. That’s why the country in pieces over poltics. Everyone has their right to do their thing. And furthermore if you was to know proper Muslims you wouldn’t even speak with such stupidity
