Iranians need to unite!
At the demonstration today there were people from different religions, ethnic groups and political parties and most of the time they all got along, which was beautiful to see. There were some moments where people supporting different sides started to shout at each other over their differences and it was close to become a fight, it was sad to see, and not what the organizers that gathered the different people wanted. I listened to many that were speaking and learned a lot about their views, I started thinking and here is my take, if Iranians in Sweden can't cooperate, how are they ever going to live in peace in a country with each other? Here is my message to you all:
30 years ago,
When they started to kill the Shah supporters, no one else reacted because it wasn't their group.
When they started to kill the Bahais, no one else reacted because it wasn't their group.
When they started to kill the Communists , no one else reacted because it wasn't their group.
When they started to kill the ... group , no one else reacted because it wasn't their group.
Then they reached your group, and since your group were too few, you lost.
The moral of this is that we all need to cooperate in order to gain strength for our common goal of democracy, even if we don't agree with some one's point of view, we need to protect our fellow Iranian's right to have that point of view.
Instead of debating and screaming at them for their beliefs, we need to protect their right to have that belief.

Demonstrations in Stockholm beside the Swedish parliament
Today around 150 people showed up to demonstrate in support of the people demonstrating in Iran. Although most of the people were iranians there was a couple of Swedes that showed up. I'll attach a picture of me standing in front of a part of the crowd.
