PAHLAVIS

Feeling for Farah

The Pahlavis are clearly as human and vulnerable as the rest of us

10-Jan-2011 (19 comments)
Muhammad Sahimi, who writes for TehranBureau.com told Time magazine last week: “Iranians are concerned about Iran. But, almost none commit suicide because of it.” He was referring to the claim that Alireza Pahlavi’s suicide may have resulted, in the words of his older brother Reza, from the fact that Pahlavi was “deeply disturbed by all the ills fallen upon his beloved homeland.”>>>

Now that our long and arduous legal wrangling with the US government is over, we need you more than before. Though the settlement allows us to continue our operation, we have many challenges ahead of us. As ever, our first priority is to continue to provide life-saving assistance to nearly 3000 children in Iran and beyond. In addition, we must continue to fulfill our duty to donors who rely on and trust the Child Foundation to ensure donor dollars reach the children>>>

How to be Iranian

It's not easy

10-Jan-2011 (56 comments)
Iranians, or Persians, as we often like to be called, are complicated people. Achieving the status of being Iranian is not an easy task, but with much dedication and a strong liver, it can be done. Also, let me say now that there are basically only two types of Iranians, the first generation, and the second generation, since there were no Iranians in this country prior to 1979 (citation needed). These two generations are very different in nature, and it seems that the second generation is determined to undo the good name the first generation has created for itself>>>

"فيلمنامه‌نويس و كارگردان فقط روي اين نكته زوم مي‌كنند كه مش ماشاالله به عنوان نماد يك مرد پايبند به اصول دينداري و محرم و نامحرم، مردي است ساده لوح، بداخلاق و تندخو، كم‌سواد، سنت‌گراي افراطي و بيگانه با تكنولوژي و تمامي مظاهر مدرنيته، ناتوان از ابراز احساسات عاطفي و كمبود اعتماد به نفس. همه اين كاستي‌ها نيز فقط به خاطر اين است كه او به اصل محرم و نامحرم اعتقاد دارد>>>
