Basijis: Iran’s culture cops
22 July 2009 Posted By Patrick Disney
A look into the Basiji history and values from 2007.
This is a video from 2007 that depicts the ideals and motivations of the Basij through their own words. At a time of escalating conflict among the Iranian people, with the Basij playing an increasingly important role, this video becomes very relevant to today’s events.

Thank you for this insightful report. It proofs that life is never simple and that ideology can easily cloud one’s perception of truth.
God willing, the Iranian people will find a way to establish their own version of tolerance and democracy.
These poor souls have had their desire to help and protect twisted and diverted into something sinister.
Thank you for posting this video.
