Brother Abu Ammar Fell Like You Are Home [your title contains a typo, "Fell" should be "Feel"] The image in the upper left is the logo of the People's Mujahedin of Iran, which is what the text below it says ("People's Mujahedin of Iran"). [The PMOI is a terrorist cult that engages in indiscriminate attacks on civilians, aided Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war, and brainwashes its members a la Jim Jones. They are about as popular in Iran today as al-Qaeda is in America, although they had more support before/during the 1979 revolution.] The order of the bottom text goes Persian, then English, then Arabic. They all say basically the same thing: Persian: "Brother Abu Ammar, feel as if you are in your homeland" (another translation could be "Brother Abu Ammar, know that you are in your homeland" English Arabic: "My brother Abu Ammar, you are now in your homeland" [The Arabic sentence, while correct, is very simple and clearly written by Iranians who had only learned Arabic in school] I wish I knew enough Hebrew to help with those translations!
