RIP Princess Ashraf
ReplyDeleteMy deepest respect and admiration for a great personality RIP
ReplyDeleteGod rest Her Imperial Highness's soul. She was a devout Iranian nationalist who worked for Her country, the women of Iran and was a brave, loyal and generous human being who helped many Iranian exiles after the revolution. Reviled and feared by the fanatics who sought to portray Her in the worst light, She carried on until Her death.
ReplyDeleteAsk these detractors what they have done for and to Iran since 1979. They dismantled an Empire, brought shame and disgrace to the Iranian people who are despised in most countries of the world and have robbed the wealth of the nation. History will record Her Highness as a visionary and enlightened individual! Her zest for life and tireless efforts were were all done in the open as She often said She was not a hypocrite!
God rest her soul.Curse all the bloodsucker commie and Islamic fascists.
