Iran, the UN and Women's Rights
I'm not usually a fan of FOX, and I don't know much about this lady, but she does have a point.
The world press was busy covering Boobquaake while Iran got a seat on a UN Women's rights commission. We got to wake up fast, sisters and brothers! (BTW, Women have even fewer rights in Saudi Arabia than in Iran.)
Keep in mind, there is a difference between Muslim hardliners and mainstream Muslims--just the same as there is a difference between Christian extremists and mainstream Christians or Jewish extremists and mainstream Jews. From what I've seen, the same is true of other religions too.

There's a protest against Ahmadinejad at the UN Monday.
Sign for Protest at UN on May 3rd
by Julie JIgsawnovich
Something we all can agree on? Here's my new slogan. Feel free to print it out and bring it to the park across from the United Nations headquarters 10am-12noon tomorrow--at 47th Street and 1st Avenue, in Manhattan. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to speak in the morning as part of the summit on nuclear non-proliferation. There are many reasons to strongly dislike Ahmadinejad, and these will surely be expressed at the UN--and at the Millennium Hotel if he does indeed stay there.

Protest Against Ahmadinejad at the UN
Iranian friends told me about this protest against Ahmadinejad's upcoming visit to the UN. Everyone of all nationalities, races and political persuasions are invited to attend. Just don't bring divisive signs or flags. Myself, I'm particularly angry that Iran got a seat on the Committee on the Status of Women when Iran has a bad record on women's rights, and other human rights.
EMERGENCY RALLY!
Ahmadinejad at the United Nations
*Monday, May 3rd, 2010* at 10am-12noon*
Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (47th St. between 2nd & 1st Ave.s)
Wear green. No flags no Factions.
*The time of his speech may change. We promise to keep you informed

UN chief demands Israel halt new construction in occupied territory
BBC: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said Israeli settlement building anywhere in occupied territory is illegal and must stop."Settlement" is a word that implies agreement. This term is inappropriate for Israel's practice of constructing buildings on other people's land.

"THEY CAN'T ARREST 30 MILLION PEOPLE"
Chat with my teenage protester friend in Tehran:
Julie:
I read that Iran's government is reading emails now.
Adrenaline:
Iran has one of the most powerful security organizations--one of the top 5 in the world !
We all are already on their list. We = Persian protesters. There's nothing we can do about it.
Julie:
I'm glad you haven't been arrested.
Adrenaline:
They can't arrest us. Prisons and jails are limited. They can't arrest 30 million people.
Julie:
30 million people there are protesters!?
Adrenaline:
Before it was. But now, it's like 5 million protesters in Tehran, 1 million in Esfehan, 1 million in Tabriz, and 3 million in other cities. These are active ones! Other ones are scared--maybe they're old, maybe something else. But I'm sure at LEAST 40 million in Iran are supporting us...in their minds, in their speeches, behind their computers. They're helping us in the internet, and so on.
Julie:
What do you think the future for Iran is now?
Adrenaline:
More people are going to be killed and everything's going to be the same. Its not our war. The real war is for power between big bosses--between Khamenei and Rafsanjani. We're just nothing--some kind of toys and dolls for them. You can't even imagine the power of Khamenei !
Julie:
You don't think Rafsanjani could be a better Spiritual Leader?
Adrenaline:
They're all the same. There's not much difference between Khamenei and Rafsanjani.
Julie:
The American press says Rafsanjani supported Mousavi.
Adrenaline:
True. But Mousavi is not the super hero. It's like we choose between bad and worse. There's no good in it!
Julie:
What do you think the American government should do or not do?
Adrenaline:
I just sent a video to you. You will get your answer in that video.
[Adrenaline sends a link to the video,
"Reza Pahlavi Speaks About Events in Iran."]
Julie:
You agree with Reza Pahlavi?
[The son of the deposed Shah of Iran.]
Adrenaline:
In some parts.
Julie:
With which do you agree? With which do you disagree?
Adrenaline:
None of them totally, but he DOES have some good points in his speech.
Julie:
What are the best points?
Adrenaline:
Helping us with communication and media, like internet, mailing big organizations like U.N. and others, joining the Persian protesters in U.S., and things like that.
Julie:
Mamnun. [Thank you.] Do i have your permission to copy this conversation, change your name to Adrenaline, and post it to my blog at http://jigsawnovich.blogspot.com ?
Adrenaline:
Yes you do, even though my English sux :-p:-p
Julie:
Do you want me to correct your English before I post it?
Adrenaline:
I dunno...u can do it IF U Want.
Julie:
Kheyli mamnun! [Many thanks.]
