Oh, the irony.
It’s laughable that the world’s leading state sponsor of terror, whose stock in trade is hatred of America, Jews, and the West, steals and uses all of our technology and innovation (then calls it its own). This is typical of Islamic conquest throughout history. Conquer, steal, claim ownership.

Iran has released a new home-made messenger app that includes emojis featuring women in hijabs carrying ‘Death to America’ placards.
‘Soroush’ has an extensive set of emojis that display veiled women holding political messages – including the death to Israel and Freemasons.
The app was released to replace the popular messaging service Telegram, which is reportedly being pushed out from being used in the county.

It comes after it was largely used in communications during the 2017 anti-government protests due to its strong security.
The controversial new app – with similar features to WhatsApp – has received the blessing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
He has already deleted his profiles on Telegram and is encouraging other users to join him on Soroush instead.

But some Iranians aren’t so easily swayed.
One suggestion being circulated on social media so far stating that Soroush’s three-tick message receipt notification (compared to the two ticks on WhatsApp and Telegram) shows that an intelligence officer is intercepting the messages.
The app is reportedly available in English – which is surprising considering it makes the offending emojis easy to find.
Iran’s Supereme Cyberspace Council has banned public institutions from using foreign apps.

How sad and pathetic. Their government will surely collapse from within eventually, they cannot hope to ban or censor everything to control their people.

When are they going to release the emoji that shows a person bradishing a gun with the slogan that says death to all mudscum/mudslime. They can probably use Ann Barnhart, s picture

I went to Iran in 2009. Upon arrival, Americans were segregated from the rest of the arriving passengers and fingerprinted. The fingerprinting was done with a device made by Microsoft.

Before it got radicalized Iran (Persia)was pretty civilized. The Iranians were still known to hate Jews. Iranians are not considered top be Arabs.

Also, goat emoji’s that alert the average dirty night shirt on the street when a goat is free nearby (it also has GPS). It’ll give real time notifications on the type of goat, species and and asking price (per hour). That way, the average dirty night shirt doesn’t have to waste time standing in line anymore waiting. This app will really make things easier for the goat plower.
