I have a black friend. My father has number of black employees in his business; in fact, most of his workers are black.
I have a friend, neighbor and do business with certain group of people sounds familiar?
It is a disclaimer often used by people burdened with prejudice, seeing people not as individuals, but as a group with set common perceived values and behaviors.
Like many other nationalities, some Iranians harbor deep-seated prejudice against blacks, Jews, Afghans, Arabs, etc…
Among all the Iranian prejudices, the one against Jews has been the costliest in treasure and blood for the past nearly four decades. Islamist fascist rulers of Iran have used Iranian prejudices to their own advantage.
Islamist fascists’ anti-Jew centric policy disguised as pro Palestinian, aside blood, has and is spending the national wealth of Iranians badly needed domestically on their anti-Jew, aka anti-Israel/Zionism cause.
The good news is, in the internet era, prejudice can be confronted by every concerned individual, little by little reducing the number of afflicted and getting them on the road to becoming a clearheaded conscientious human being.
Airtight sanctions, a la against the despicable South Africa apartheid, works. U.S. lawmakers get to it.
Above picture; a pair of Iranian “ Aryan” fascists with what seems to be a Nazi like salute, claiming to be anti-Islamist fascists,” fled” their rule in Iran, and yet attack Islamist fascists’ opposition and wholeheartedly approve of their expansionist wars in Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, …
To dispel any misunderstanding, the Persian caption under the picture says:
“This is a Nazi Party fort [watchtower] in a European country. It was a strange feeling, and being next to dear Qumars made it even stranger.”
Ps. Israel is Iran’s historic, cultural and strategic ally. The sooner Iran is emancipated, the sooner these two great nations can bring back peace and tranquility to the bloodshed ravaged Middle East.
...Better name the losers so as to remember the other disillusioned luminaries of freeing Iran from Arabs like Hakha, Sakuee, etc. These guys have openly thrown down the guantlet to reveal their racist fiber.
MehrdadA,
Above picture is from here, where they are identified as one "Omid Dana & Qumars Kiani".
I wouldn't be surprised to see Dana blurting anti-Jews slurs either.
Omid Dana, the man giving Nazi style salute in your photograph, is believed by many Iranian opposition groups and individulas to be planted, funded and directed by the Islamist Regime. There is plenty of evidence to back this claim
Regardless, there are quite many similarites between Islamist Fascism and Nazi style Fascism, not limited to their antagonism towards jews.
Birds of same feather flock together.
His title was ARYA MEHR wasn't it ?
Shah of Iran : "The Kurds are the 'purest' of the 'Persian Aryan Race', We are not racists ... but the otherside ( i.e: refering to Saddam Hussein) is following a racist policy, we are therefore cornered in a position to denounce the massacre of our Persian brothers by the Iraqi regime" - Shah of Iran interview with German TV 1971"

Omid Dana is a Fascist like SUMKA ( Supported by the Pahlavi Monarchy ... they had seats in parliament) but not anti semitic. General Zahedi who instigated the toppling of Mossadegh was affiliated to this movement and so was his son
SUMKA - Wikipedia
And SUMKA spokesperon opposed the Shah's decision to give up Bahrain in 1971 ( see video of Zahedi listening to Mohsen Pezeshkpour:
جدائی بحرین از ایران|separation of Bahrain from Iran
Ardeshir Zahedi in Bahrain - سفر تاریخی اردشیر زاهدی به بحرین ...
Also for what it is worth Mussolini's Fascists unlike Hitler's Nazis were not anti semitic initially ... the common denominator between both ideologies was their support for a totalitarian strong central state (which is what Dana and his likeminds advocate too given the abscence of support for the 1906 Constituion which RP disingenuously threw to the dustbins of history hence destroying any democratic claim to the legitimacy of his dynasty and destroying the chances of genuine monarchist advocates like me in defending the constitution of 1906 and hence his dynasty on the long run).
But Mussolini initially was not anti semitic.

Lastly if anything Dana and Iranian "Fascists" are the Brainchild of RP's own Cowardice, lack of vision, recklessness and betrayal towards his father's last will.

He can only blame himself for that !
The salute is all wrong, no? Kinda a hybrid of what the retarded American Nazis are doing these days? But, I dunno.
BTW Fred jaan, if you're so sure that the love between a-rabs and persians is a one way street, spend some time in the bowels of Arabia or other similar hell holes. You will be enlightened!
Ex_CoP,
As far as the "love" is concerned, never claimed it to be a one way street as you put it, as a student of history, I know fully well it is not. However, two wrongs don't make it right.
