Better late than never

Faraj Sarkoohi has the credentials that I didn't have when I was tearing my throat some 20 years ago. Better late than never. But this is now an effort for the new generation. The old one is burnt in its hatred.

We need more people like Sarkoohi

It is vital for individuals and society collectivly to accept self criticism in order for the mind and spirit to progress towards Infinite Wisdom.

It is a none ending process since it is infinite but the sooner we begin this process the sooner we can move on to more elevating acts instead of being stuck in such barbaric activities of hanging, raping, cheating and murdering our fellow human beings because we fear them.

The Persian culture is richer than that and it will free itself from all such band o' bar.

Shah was no saint, but how can you equate attacking freedom of speech with raping, pillaging, mock executions?

The Barbaric attacks on Freedom of Speech began with the Shah

by American Dream on Fri Aug 14, 2009 11:19 AM PDT

The Shah was the 1st to create a state of fear where freedom of speech was attacked by the government.  It is sad that this writer was put in prison by the Shah.  The Shah was an evil dictator.
