(via Instapundit)  What if they threw a Pro-Western revolution and no one in the Western Media noticed?  Well, at least the NYT online has this coverage  (this is NOT keeping in line with their usual level of coverage for this story):

Hundreds of hard-line paramilitary forces clashed here today with protesting students who had gathered at Industrial Sharif University downtown in support of a reformist scholar sentenced to death.

Demonstrations are continuing for a second week in support of the scholar, Hashem Aghajari, a university professor who had called for separation of religion and state.

And so we see Demand #1 -- Separation of Church & State.   As far as I'm concernd, Hashem Aghajari is the Patrick Henry of Iran -- pursuing a type of Secular Martyrdom.

..."We demand unconditional release of Mr. Aghajari but demand freedom of speech and opinion for everyone and forever," Abdullah Momeni, one of the speakers at the university today, said in a telephone interview afterward.

Mr. Momeni added that the students did not consider apostasy, the charge against Mr. Aghajari, a crime. He said the judiciary, which generally supports the hard-liners in the government, was acting like courts in the Middle Ages.

"Apostasy has no meaning in the world today, which favors freedom of speech and opinion," he said.

Demand #2 -- Freedom of Speech and Opinion.  The Ayatollah's Grandson figures as a key member of the opposition protestors.

This final picture positively brings tears to my eyes.   There's something very special about a gathering of the fabled "young, Muslim men" brandishing a pro-US banner:
