Allah o akbar

During the protests after the 2009 elections in Iran, the people of Iran started shouting Allah-o-akbar from the rooftops in protest against the government of Iran for stealing the election from the people. I changed my user name on MySpace to Allah-O-Akbar to honor the free people of Iran, especially those that were killed, tortured and/or imprisoned.

That year, Iran, Burma, Tibet and other countries saw many protests by the people to no avail.

It appears that 2011 has given rise to more protests against oppressive regimes. A successful protest overturned the dictatorial government in Tunisia. People are protesting in large numbers in Egypt and other places in the Middle East. Maybe this will be the year that makes a difference for people who live in countries with oppressive governments.

I wish to salute those free people still yearning for the freedoms we take for granted.

Allah o akbar.

    My hope is that America will stop propping and arming oppressive regimes out of convenience.

    Hey Guy!

    SOMEBODY did mention to you that “Allahu Akbar” actually means “God’s Great”. You could have picked “Jesus Saves”, or “Buddha’s Wise”… Somewhere here, we have a member floating around the Interwebz called “Jesus for Hookers”… oh and Satan is a close friend of mine LOL

    From what I am seeing in the news, it is no longer if Mubarak will step down but when. The military seems to neutral and that will be the key to change.
