Iran’s telecommunications industry is almost entirely state-owned, dominated by the Telecommunication Company of Iran (TCI)
Since 2005, Iran has been developing a "national Internet" to improve control over its content as well as speed. The project, which is separate from the world wide web, will be completed by 2013. This network will be separated from the rest of the internet, specifically for domestic use. Creating such a network, similar to one used by North Korea, would prevent unwanted information from outside of Iran getting into the closed system. Myanmar and Cuba also use similar systems.
"We have identified and confronted 650 websites that have been set up to battle our regime—39 of them are by opposition groups and our enemies, and the rest promote Western culture and worshiping Satan, and stoke sectarian divides," he said. He didn't name the sites or clarify whether they had already been filtered. Mr. Shahriari said the council would also "focus and facilitate positive aspects of the Internet, like business and trade."
1-What is the meaning of radical ?
2- Homosexuality is cursed in Qur'an , so it is Islam that opposes homosexuality.
3-If you have problems with Islam , then I have nothing to debate.

Is it Government CONTROLLED,or isn't it?
It is independent and is running by opposition group.
And if you can read the titles and passages , you will see how government controlled it is.

You do know the OPPOSITION, is hand picked, by the Supreme Leader, himself, right ?
So.............what kind of Opposition is it then ?
CONTROLLED
Really, your argument, is moot.

The point is that it is USA packing bags and coming to middle east to make in unstable. And it is US which is dictating it's idea in middle east and supporting dictators.
That is the major difference.
You don't like Theocracy , we don't like liberalism.
Your govt is dictating it's idea while mine is defined within Iran's border.
We don't invade and we don't impose.

Hmmmm....
So THATS your reason, for Neda's death ?
What a trivial response, to a human being, dying for what she believed in.
Really, Neda's hopes and dreams, were taken, that day, because The Iranian Government, decided it couldn't lose, its grip on Power, even to a CONTROLLED Opposition leader.
And you worry about Americas involvement, in a State sponsored murder, from Iran ? They HAD to kill Neda, because of Americas "involvement" ?
Truly, I understand, your logic now.

Iran does ‘impose’ it’s theocracy on those within its borders.
Just because it’s confined within the borders of Iran doesn’t mean its OK to take the life of other human beings simply because they disagree with your religious beliefs.

But she was a sand in the velvet revolution and I really appreciate Zionists failed once again.

Democratic movement is Iranian people's business but not Zionist's business.

Yes , by the Zionists.
Candidates for the presidency must be approved by the Council of Guardians, a twelve member body consisting of six clerics (selected by Iran's Supreme Leader) and six lawyers (proposed by the head of Iran's judicial system and voted in by the Parliament). According to the constitution of Iran candidates for the presidency must possess the following qualifications:
Within these guidelines the Council vetoes candidates who are deemed unacceptable. The approval process is considered to be a check on the president's power, and usually amounts to a small number of candidates being approved. In the 1997 election, for example, only four out of 238 presidential candidates were approved by the council.
So , did any other country blame US for killing it's own people in 9/11 ?
Did Any other country condemned mind control or such projects ?
IS is always your job to condemn and your job to take action.

That is reasonable and with proof.
IMO that velvet revolution was a mistake. And if happens again means it was not mistake.
But how that makes sense ? Iran supports Zionists and condemns them simultaneously ?
