If you look like a wuss, we have good news for you!

What are YOUR stereotypes of Iranian men? My own personal stereotype of an Iranian man would definitely differentiate between East Coast (holla!) and West Coast (wassup?). Also, undoubtedly, there's a big difference between the Iranian man of southern cali (clad in gold/platinum chains) and northern cali (with intellectual pretensions). >>>

Seminal Contributions of Historical Iranian (Persian) Philosophers, Poets, Physicians and Scientists, Revisited.

There seem to be an intensifying orchestrated effort in the west particularly the U.S. to neglect, discount, discredit or convolute the multifaceted contributions of philosophers, physicians, scientists, historians and artisans of the past few millennia in south, south-central, south-west Asia, and north Africa--a vast area now collectively referred to by the fabricated name, the Middle East >>>

Tell Congress to Stop the March to War with Iran !

President Bush announced today that he has authorized US forces in Iraq to confront Iran militarily. "I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities," Bush said in a speech to US war veterans in Reno. Simultaneously, US forces raided a hotel in Baghdad and detained ten Iranians who according to a U.S.-funded radio station included members of an Iranian negotiation team. This move comes amidst a campaign by the White House to escalate the rhetorical war between Washington and Tehran, in which the President has taken concerted new steps toward war. This flurry of rhetoric has largely rung hollow in the halls of Congress, as members are away for summer recess. >>>

Are You Willing to Participate in a Survey?

Call me paranoid, but having lived in places where governments have no problems with violating personal rights, I kind of freak out when someone calls me specifically to ask my opinion based on my nationality/ethnicity. >>>

Returning to his vomit

During a Press Briefing on January 9, 2003 in Manila, Philippines; a reporter asked then Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security John Bolton a question: "On Iraq; the arms inspectors have not found any specific weapons of mass destruction that you've been outlining so far. What would be the justification for the U.S. Government to take military action if indeed it does?" >>>

Islamic Republic's flag taken down, Iran's flag raised instead

The following are pictures of a car dealership in North Hollywood that, prior to being informed, was flying the flag of the Islamic Republic. After a visit by an MPG member of the Los Angeles branch the auto dealership enthusiastically proceeded to bring down the Islamic Republic's flag and instead fly the genuine flag of Iran which was donated by Ketab Corporation.

Iranians living abroad can participate in relatively easy forms of activism such as the event that was described above to protect Iran's history, culture and territorial integrity.

The pictures below once again prove that Los Angeles is the ever-present capital of the Iranian opposition.

Fine, Let's Talk about Sex, baby

Let's get the most important issue out of the way: Apparently I've been drinking the wrong wine: Merlot is out and Shiraz is in if your name is not Sally but Sadaf. Phew...thanks Mr. Bahmani...To think that all this time, I wasn't doing what Iranian women do. (For the record, my comment on well done steak and Merlot was SARCASTIC. I'm a quarter French. My French ancestors would nefrin me if they ever caught me eating a piece of meat mal cuvee!)  >>>

I married myself

As an Iranian girl, it is so hard not to get obsessed with getting married. There is so much pressure from our families and from society but it also seems like a lot of it is internal. I want to get married, I want to share my life with someone, I want to have children - but before I can do that successfully, I need to learn how to love myself. >>>
