More and more footages I get to see from our late king, the more I love the man. He had great love for Iran and did his best to show it's best side to the world. Quiet contrary to today's king ali geda.

DuA, and Mezuzah for Kadivar (to Fred and Ayhab)

by kharmagas on Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:25 AM PST

Looking at the picture and title I thought Kadivar would be here for sure.

Fred, can you instead of those repeated airtight sanction articles, post a Mezuzah in iranian.com internet gateway, so Kadivar comes back?

Ayhab, how about a few duAs from you?

ey Kadivar-e la'nati kojAee?
