Iranian Neo Nazi party

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumka

Sumka is the name given to an Iranian neo-Nazi party (otherwise known as Hezb-e Sosialist-e Melli-ye Kargaran-e Iran, "Iran National-Socialist Workers Party, this is the exact translation of the German NSDAP=Nationalsozialistische deutsche Arbeiterpartei).

The party was formed in 1952 by Davud Monshizadeh, a professor at Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich, who claimed to have served with the SS (=Schutzstaffel) and been injured fighting in Berlin. Before this the name had been used informally to refer to those in Iran who supported Adolf Hitler during the Second World War. As an organised group, they looked to the works of Jos� Ortega y Gasset for inspiration, as well as Hitler, and Monshizadeh translated a number of his works into Farsi which he hoped would serve as founding principles for the party. Despite building up a minor support base in Iranian universities, the party did not last long. They were firmly opposed to the rule of Mohammed Mossadegh during their brief period of influence.

The party was revived in the early 2000s( not in Iran), although it remains to be seen how far this revival extended beyond the internet. They now present their two main enemies as being Jews and Arabs, in keeping with the anti-Semitism and Aryan identity politics of the original party.

Description of the flag

The flag of the Iranian National-socialist Workers Party' (SOMKA or SUMKA, from the acronym of Hezb-e Sosialist-e Melli-ye Kargaran-e Iran in Farsi language) was a Nazi-like flag with a stylized eagle in the middle but I don't know the meaning of this. This party was a very small organization involved in politics during the beginning of the 1950s but it disappeared very quickly. The party was opposed to Mosadegh's democratic governement(1950-1953) and exposed a strong neonazi ide�logy. Its leader was Davud Monshizadeh.

(Also Dariush Homayoun was a member of Sumka at 1952)

Actually he knows it well, he wanted to mention his sadness about people with the anti jewishness feeling

when did he?

Btw Sumka isn't anti jewish, anti semitic means by them only anti arabic.

i hope you arent part of sumka

This party is a joke and it is a great embarrasment. don't we have enough problems without having goddamned so called nazis?

Prsn4life is right Barbarossa did imply that Iranians have higher than usual anti-Jewish tendency, but I should remind him that Iran has never persecuted Jews, unlike England, Russia, Spain, Germany and pretty much every other European country.  And if I didn't think he was being serious, it would be worthy of a warning.

But I have a question:

Is it common for Shia Iranians to be a little anti-semitic? Because I have some friends who are Iranian and Kurdish shiias who are a little anti-semitic, and when I ask why, they say: I don't know, I just don't like jews.
