Romans 12:1-2 says, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers (and sisters), in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Such a beautiful young woman. Yes, she's now the face of those inside Iran who are fighting for their freedoms.

God speed to them. May they prevail.

Something we can all agree on.

Rest in peace Neda.

As the father of a daughter (albeit much younger than Neda), that was a very heart-wrenching scene to watch. I cannot even imagine ...

May he find some comfort in the sheer hell he must be going through.

I watched the uncensored video.
One minute she looks normal...and then blood just appears covering her once beautiful face.
It was horrifying.

EDIT-Sorry to be a bummer.

"While this loss is raw and painful, we also know this: Those who stand up for justice are always on the right side of history," Obama said.

Indeed, remember Neda...

'Neda': Slain Iranian woman becomes symbol of protests
Mon Jun 22, `09 - With foreign journalists banned from reporting on the streets of Tehran, amateur footage of events has become one of the only ways to see what's happening in Iranian rallies and protests.
Quote:
On Saturday, gruesome photos and videos that appear to show the death of a young woman reportedly shot during a rally made wide circulation on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. The shocking footage has become a symbol of the protests for people both in Iran and around the world. Warning: Some links in this story may contain graphic content. While the information surrounding who she was and what happened to her cannot be verified, some bloggers and news outlets say she was Neda Soltani, who was attending the protests with her father. The name "Neda" means voice or call in Farsi, and conflicting reports have her age at anywhere from 16 to 27.

According to AP:

An acquaintance of her family said Neda worked part-time at a travel agency in Iran and that the government barred the family from holding a public funeral Monday. The acquaintance spoke on condition of anonymity because she feared government reprisal.

Memorials and outrage have swept Twitter: "Neda, your voice shall never be silenced! our prayers are with you and your family." In demonstration rallies around the world, protesters have carried signs with her face.

Time highlights how the death of "Neda" may continue to reverberate due to Iranian history and Muslim traditions:

Although it is not yet clear who shot "Neda" (a soldier? pro-government militant? an accidental misfiring?), her death may have changed everything. For the cycles of mourning in Shiite Islam actually provide a schedule for political combat — a way to generate or revive momentum. Shiite Muslims mourn their dead on the third, seventh and 40th days after a death, and these commemorations are a pivotal part of Iran's rich history. During the revolution, the pattern of confrontations between the shah's security forces and the revolutionaries often played out in 40-day cycles.

"Neda" has become the face of Iranian rebellion in a culture in which martyrdom is a powerful weapon of the people. In 1979, protester deaths helped lead to the downfall of the Shah. As we wait for information and details to come out of Iran in the coming days, it's clear the story of "Neda" will continue to resonate.

This kinda reminds me of a Wag the Dog movie where media creates this kind of 'icons' for their purposes.
It is definitely sad to see people die but there are around 200 000 people who die every single die, why don't media go into Africa and other places like it where Warlords slaughter people everyday, most of those have been ruling their countries for decades, they are far worse than Iran.
The only reason why media focusing on Iran so much it's because they are anti-U.S. and obviously because they have alot of oil, if it wasn't for that it'd be another country no one would care about.

This is the leader that Obama bragged he would sit down and talk with?

I wonder what took him so long to speak out against the stolen election, the voilence and now the killing of innocent protesters?
