Cue to the 2:30 mark...

1. That was cool

that's the way to do it. Even in a violent confrontation kind of situation, they stopped to help an injured human being

[SKKY]

2. You'll never see this in the MSM in America...

...Muslims being civil and all, showing humanity, helping their fellow man.

3. "Two Young Men In Black and Green" (Andrew Sullivan)

A reader writes:

The picture of the two young men, one in a green t-shirt, the other a riot policeman sent me over the top - it portrays two young men united by their lack of freedom and the strong spirit of love that is part of the culture. That is why this regime is will not last much longer. Thank you for seeing the tremendous importance and power of this story.

5. K&R

Just needs one more recc to get to Greatest.

6. This is a great video

... where the protesters show their humanity and help one of the (young) attacked police officers. I hate to see this drop off page.

Anyone willing to give just one more vote to get this to the Greatest? It is definitely worth the watch (towards the end is where the police officer is assisted by protesters).

Anyone? (Bueller???)

12. Agree. It is an exceptional glimpse

of a story that won't get told nearly enough to the outside world.

11. Thanks!

Thanks bsiebs! I'd love to see this one picked up by Rachael Maddow or Keith Olberman.

13. Perhaps that beautiful young man will be less inclined to attack his

countrymen and women on the order of fascistic theocratic a**holes next time!
