Some people have turned“ Javid Shah” into“ Allahu Akbar.”

Instead of being forced to say“ Allahu Akbar,”

now we’re supposed to be forced to say“ Javid Shah.” Between insult,

abuse, and cursing, like,“ Hey, you such- and- such, why are you with those people?”

I say,“ Man, I’m with my people. Here, this is my post, I’m with my people.”

I’ve been with the people for a long time.“ No, why didn’t you say‘ Javid Shah’?

You such- and- such, you’re with those people. We know, we’ve got your stats,

we’re gonna screw you over.” Man, what kind of talk is that? You’ve turned into

a Hezbollah type with this phrase“ Allahu Akbar” that everyone’s grown to hate.

“ Allahu Akbar” has turned into“ Javid Shah.” In this land of exile,

we stayed alive with the hope that we’d go back to an Iran where we could

finally breathe,

where we could have a normal life. Then in that future Iran, what,

we’re supposed to come and fight with you and say “ Javid Shah” so we can live?

It’ll be the same as our current“ Allahu Akbar.” What’s the difference?

No, man, a bit of political progress,

a bit of reaching intellectual maturity would be good.

Do you not believe in democracy?

Your own leader says,“ I am a democrat,” and all that.

So what kind of democratic culture is this?

I swear to God, we have not made an inch of progress in these forty- seven years.

It is truly shameful.

And I do not post videos in Persian because my audience…

are English speakers, I want to promote our culture among foreigners.

But I am posting this one video in Persian so we do not lose face in front

of foreigners.

But it really deserves that I expose you. It is really very disgraceful.
