"Iran's New Voice" is by Mideast Youth, a student-owned independent network that has been promoting constructive dialogue and understanding within the Middle East and North Africa.
Their inspired recently released YOUTUBE video, "Iran's New Voice" is a creatively satirical news segment about a NEW Iran policy inspired by Martin Luther King, JFK, and Ghandi.
Middle East Youth are Arabs, Iranians, Kurds, and Israelis who work together on a variety of projects that advance towards moderation and interfaith understanding.
Mideast Youth- and all thinking people- comprehend that neither democracy nor liberty can be had by the barrel of a gun. It does not "happen when tyrants are deposed or systems overturned. Liberty depends on the support of a network of institutions, many of which we do not have. At Mideast Youth, we target one aspect necessary to the development of liberty and that aspect is free speech.
"The mission of Mideast Youth can be summed up simply: human rights and freedom of expression. All of our writers are aware of the limitations on their freedoms. They know what censorship really means. They know what it means to express controversial opinions and to question commonly held opinions…We ask our writers, artists and musicians to do one thing only: Ask Hard Questions.
"In a region of the world that lacks institutionalized support for free speech, practice tolerating diverse opinions is hard to come by. Newspapers get closed, journalists are harassed and arrested, bloggers are sometimes imprisoned. Our governments do everything possible to retain control of public opinion and access to information. The internet is a place that affords the modicum of protection necessary to practice free speech." http://www.mideastyouth.com/
See President Ahmadinajad and the Ayatollah, but HEAR Martin Luther King, JFK and Ghandi.
Read the news scroll and then IMAGINE all the people living life in peace:
