Founding fathers - Reza Shah the Great & Ataturk

Reza Shah the Great

This is a clip from a propaganda film produced by the Islamic Republic aimed to appeal to religious sentiment - but little does the Islamist regime seem to know that most Iranian society today either harbour a hatred for Islam, are anti-religion or apathetic at best to religious issues! This clip shows Reza Shah the Great beating a muslim cleric who did not allow a female member of the Royal family to enter a mosque without a veil - Reza Shah was renown for his iron-fist against the backward muslim clergy who he rightly had identified as one of the key factors keeping Iran from modernizing and fulfilling its full potential as a nation.

Under the comments of my previous entry an anonymous commentator laid out his anti-Iranian, secessionist, pro-disintegration agenda and presented himself as a Kurd supporting the "President" of the short-lived soviet puppet state called the "Republic of Kurdistan". I just happened to come across this clip today, by Pari Saffari, which serves as an appropriate reply to that anonymous commentator:



Persian, Kurd, Azeri, Balouch, Gilaki, Mazandarani....have given blood to maintain Iran's territorial integrity and now a few, ignorant, but loud individuals claim to be sons and daughters of that land yet they shout for secession!
