As you can see, the logo contains a Peace in Farsi and English and a flag of Iran. But this is not MY FLAG.
As most flags, Iran's flag contains three colors:
- Green. two interpretations: 1-color of life, 2-this is an Islamic country.
- White. Peace
- Red. Iranians are ready to die for their flag / country.
I am not a Nationalist and I do not insist that "we are raedy to die for our flag" or anything. Instead I want to talk about the Symbol in the middle of the flag.
In the white area (in the middle of the flag there is a symbol). This symbol represents the eras of Iran's flag. The ancient one had a lion and a sun in it. Have a look youself:
This is not an Monarchy sign but a sign of all eras and many groups agree on it (even communist parties).
After the 1979 revolution, the new ideological regime changed the logo to this one:
It is a combination of Allah (In Farsi letters) and some other symbols (for justice and sword and ...). I do not like that it represents ONLY this ISLAMIC REGIME which tortures peoples and censors everything. I do not stand in front of this flag and do not believe in it. my PEACE sign does not have an ISLAMIC REGIMES sign on it. I want peace but without supporting this regime. I myself prefer a simple three color flag, without any ideology on it. I want a flag without the Lion, without Allah and without the Swastika. This does not mean I am against the Lion and Allah but it means my flag should mean Iran and not ISLAMIC REGIME or any other ideology.
RickB ? Are you interested in changing your Islamic Regime's flag to Iran's flag ?
As the previous year, the gathering of 8th of March was finished by the attack of Anti-Revolutionary police to the people and large scale beating. They've also beated an journalist and forced other journalists to erase their photos and films.
