Iran Opposition Seeks Fatwa Against Ahmadinejad
Mousavi Spokesman Says President's Re-Election Is 'Coup D'Etat' By LARA SETRAKIAN
DUBAI, June 14, 2006
A spokesman for Iranian presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi says his camp will keep pushing to change the results of Friday's election that gave incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad a landslide win.
"We are going to stay in the streets and ask the mullahs to give fatwas that Ahmedinejad is not our president. We are going to ask the Leader, through the will of the people, to change his mind," said Mostafa Makhmalbaf, who is speaking to the foreign press on Mousavi's behalf from his home in Paris.
"I don't think we can do a total Revolution in Iran but we can make some change," he told ABC News, describing what would be an unprecedented reversal for the Islamic Republic.
Mousavi's campaign claims the announced outcome, which gave Ahmedinejad 63 percent of the vote, was fraudulent.
Iran Opposition Says People 'Feel Betrayed'
Mousavi, a former prime minister of Iran during the 1980s, ran as a pro-reform centrist. He launched a campaign known as the Green Movement that attracted young supporters, especially women drawn to a platform of equal rights.
"Most of the people are trying to have their vote ... for peace in the international relationship, for changing the economy, more freedom for the young generation," he said.
"The Iranian people are angry that their vote was changed," he said. "They feel betrayed."
Ahmadinejad's victory has caused the worst unrest in Tehran in a decade as protestors battled police in the streets and shouted from the rooftops.
Seemingly unfazed, Iran's president likened the riled crowds' outbursts to "passions after a soccer match."

Anonymous,
Thanks for all the links.
I just added them to the front page.
Hey, Pasto! I didn't know you were boycotting Borders Books. (Since retirement I'm sort of doing the same thing, namely, only showing up for work when I can't avoid it.)
They are trying to drive the press out of Iran. Unless there is something, some larger force there behind the opposition movement that we don't know about, if they succeed in shutting out the media I see another Tianenmen Square coming and probably much worse. We were told by the MSM that this couldn't happen. It has. We are getting silence from The One and idiot remarks from Mr. Number Two, Biden, about having "an awful lot of question" and "waiting to see".
Ahmadinejad not only smells blood, he smells b.s., much of it coming from Obama. I don't doubt he will stop at nothing to solidify control now.
Well, I think I'll leave CBS a little note and call it a night. Bound to be more stuff going on in the morning...
Yes, I haven't bought anything at Borders since they refused to carry Reason Magazine issue which featued an article on the Cartoon Crisis.
Borders lost a good customer in me. I used to spend $2-3K per year.
It's all good. Let's stand on the sideline and cheer them killing each other in this latest episode of the eternal Islamic civil war. They wanted a theocracy and they got it, now they have to lie in the bed that they made. The busier they get at killing each other, the less time they can devote to supporting terrorism around the world.

Actually I think it was "Free Inquiry" magazine, but it's the thought that counts!
