Protests all over the world

The Occupy Wall Street Movement - Part 2

Who would have believed that the dictatorships ruling the Arab world would fall one by one or that protests against capitalism would emerge in the West? What has really been shocking is the Western demonstrations against the economic policies of the world’s greatest powers. Instead of occupying, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, Americans are now occupying Wall Street. It seems they have finally woken up and now seen the real world they are living in.

Sayyid Hassan Khomeini:

“Ashura is an uprising against oppression and deviation.”
