COP.

As I told you I'm going to look for that blog. I may not be able to do it until tomorrow though. In the meantime, since you couldn't understand that my second post on this thread didn't say blogs of this type should be banned, and I told you I'd explain it to you, I wanted to do that now. But I've realized that to make things easier, I should start off with just one question to you.

COP, do you know the difference between posted and featured?

Whether you do or not. I have some other things to say to clarify our misunderstanding. But to begin with, could you just please answer my question.

Rea

Thanks for the link- Fantastic music .

Clearly I now should make it a habit to listen to Corsican folk music.

Take care.

So, relax and enjoy beautiful Corsica ! ;o) 

Late here, nite. 

Islam= an Arab religion

A primitive religion from the deserts of Arabia. If you're not an
Arab and a muslim, then you're just a wannabe. It's fit for these
people ONLY.

I suggest Iranians and other non-Arab
muslims go back to their actual faith, the first monotheistic religion,
or Zoroasterianism for Iranians, which makes a hell of a lot more
sense than Islam.

Relax?

Thanks for your advice. I did  attempt  to follow it and relax by doing some yoga but got a cramp mid-lotus postion.

So as an alternative I brought out my Avesta to read and meditate but unfortunately my middle persian was rustier than I had remebered. So the only way I could take your advice and relax was to listen to this trans-temporal collaboration between Shahram and Sohrab..Hope you enjoy it also...

dale get a life!

you don't have to be christian to be a hater.

you are a hater. that is obvious. this is hate speech agains one group of poeple. if it was jews, it would be removed yesterdy, but because muslims are preferred target, it is encouraged.

Relax!

Dale is an ex-Bahai and agnostic. He is not some Christian missionary. Also by the standards of Islam-bashing on this site, this blog is seriously tame by comparison.

May we be amongst those who are to bring about the transfiguration of the Earth - Zoroastrian prayer

Mr Honourable sceptic I presume?

It is interesting to see a missionary adopting a position of supercilious superiority. I can tell  Dale husband you like to be giving it out straight as the fancy takes you. The  blog implies that somehow because the readership here is predominatly is of Iranian lineage,we are somehow condoning things such as Khomeinie's Salamn Rushdies fatwa. The problem with that approach is that most of us I suspect are as appaled by the Fatwa as any non Iranian and to insinuate that we are somehow complicit in that is a cheap  shot and at best is worthy of deviant catholic proests who in one hand preaches the virtues of a life of celibacy and in private abuses his underage charges in a most disgraceful way. 

The aggressiveness with which you are treating the respondents here evidently forms the icing on a pudding whose main ingredient is self promotion. 

Like I said, rosie, no drama

You really have nothing better to do, do you? Every single day, you look for someone to pick a fight with.  

You said what you said and now won't own up to it. pitty......you can't change what you wrote darlin', it's all a matter of how you say what you say and the innuendos.....

You won't happen to be one of those western converts now, would ya?

CoP, the thick headed.....

Rea, get real

I'm not Iranian.  But we have a young Iranian woman coming into our family. And the baby coming soon, too. 

Irrelevant issue.

I find your blog appaling.

Others may find it appealing. Freedom of choice, you know.

Who are you to tell people to drop their religion?  Why don't you go to those catholic and protestant sites and tell THEM to get a life ?

I said nothing about dropping Islam. Just not being hypocritical about it. And Protestants and Catholics are another irrelevant issue. That's merely a smokescreen on your part.

Lucky you, lucky me as well, Iranians are polite!I'm done with you, with this blog too. 

Goodbye. If you ignore the truth, that's your business. No one else need take you seriously.

Propagating racism does not take courage, as Dale Husband claims, it takes bigotry, imbecility, and utter disregard for all human values, which Imani has been know for for a long time. Go back to your circles, Imani. The stench of your racism is madenning.}}}

What kind of an idiot equates criticism of Islam with racism? Muslims are NOT a race! They include Arabs, Persians, Indians, Turks, Africans and Europeans.

Dale Husband, the Honorable Skeptic

Strawman

So you conclude Christianity is better than Islam. What a farce, you sound like any other racist anti muslim that we encounter here and everywhere in the West on a daily basis.

Christianity only LOOKS better because it has been subjected to centuries of secularism to deprive it of political power. Islam's appearance would also improve dramatically if it was also subjected to secularism. If both religions decline as a result, that's still better than tyranny that breeds hypocrisy. Truth is more important than outer appearances anyway. I made no conclusions about Christianity itself in my essay. You did.

Dear Dale, you wrote:

I fail to see how your criticisms reveal anything unethical about my blogging practicies

Me tpp. Neither do I. Please explain to me how specifically you arrived at the idea that I accused you of being, or implied that you were, unethical. Then I will comment on that.

Or if you prefer, I will just explain without your doing it first. I don't think you're unethical at all. I was trying to imply other things that have other words.

Let me know if you want me to give you the explanaton first. Please reply.

'You seem to be hostile towards everyone. Not a healthy sign.

Everyone  is a wprd woth a very specific meaning. Please go up this thead and count the number of people on it, the number of people on this thread, the number of people you feel I've been hostile to (you can count yourself of coure, if you like..), and also the number of people who, in witnessing this hostilityof mine so-called, have been critical of it.

Btw, you might as a matter of interest want to go back to the Imani thread if you haven't already and take note of my comment and Mammad's. There are people here who don't like Mammad but he has the reputaton of being one of very few people here who is on the Leftist 'camp', and also is a devout Muslim, who many of our prominent bloggers on the center-right respect very much and like to debate with. He mentions you in his post.

Enter the Christian aetheist!

Man you are all wet when you say:

"Why is Christianity still the most popular religion at nearly two billion followers? Is it not possible that Muhammad intended Islam for Arabs only rather than for all the peoples of the world".

So you conclude Christianity is better than Islam. What a farce, you sound like any other racist anti muslim that we encounter here and everywhere in the West on a daily basis.

Interesting comments

Rosie, I fail to see how your criticisms reveal anything unethical about my blogging practicies (yes, I copy blog entries I wrote before, but others were also copying my own blog entries into here, which drew me here to defend my own work) or inaccurate about my statements about Islam or Muslims. You seem to be hostile towards everyone. Not a healthy sign.

No, I am not Iranian or Persian, but I will always have a connection to them because I was once a Baha'i, which originated in Persia. In many respects, Baha'i Faith is a highly Westernized form of Islam, just as Christianity is a Romanized form of Judaism.

No, Rea, it is not "stupid" to talk to Muslims directly in their own theological "language". That's sometimes the only way they may listen. If I didn't understand Islam and the Quran as well as I do, I wouldn't have been able to write the above essay. The sad irony is that Muslims themselves have contributed to Western anti-Islam stereotypes by their own behavior, even behavior the Quran does not promote! And are there many Persians who are Catholic?

Dale Husband, the Honorable Skeptic

One side accusations have taken Iranian.com down the toielt!!

  Islam bashing is tolerated in the media.  Go ahead, spew all you can!!   Muslim men marrying young girls, Christian priests fuck anyone who they can their dick on.  

After Amil, these one side accusations have taken Iranian.com down the toilet. 

Mitra ps COP

Mitra, when Ari called me an Orientalist on the Chashm quiz thread a couple of days ago it was a joke. The entire exchange between us, and later Ben, was verbal repartee.

Now you didn't participate on that thread but I really wish you had because I see you misunderstood one specific exchange between me and Ari, the one where he called me an Orientalist and I called him a Neo-Colonialist.

There was someone else on that thread who misunderstood that same brief exchange. That was Anahid. And she was offended by my post to Ari. So I explained it to her but I wasn't sure she understood because she never answered me.

I really wish you'd been participating because then I would've realized you'd misunderstood the same exchange that Anahid had, and I would've taken more care in explaining it. To both of you at the same time. 

Having said that, I really still haven't explained it all very clearly, have I? Would you like me to go back to that thread and do it? I can wriite a new post, addressed to both of you, you and Anahid. I'd be happy to do it. Just let me know. 

PS COP, Blog you requested and reading lesson comin' up.

Dear Mitra,

My family is catholic. Even if, with exception of my mother, most of us are happy atheists.

Whatever.

My nefew if getting married in Sep to an Iranian girl. And I don't like people questioning her religion, least of all Bahai' bashers (have read DH' blogs before).

PS.  A., I'm not new to IC, even if we've never interacted before.

Rea, this blog is no rubbish. It includes some valid criticism..

This blog is not rubbish like Rea says. It actually includes some valid criticism of how Islam is practiced by some. It is not even anti-Islam since in few instances, it gives the benefit of doubt to Islam.

PS. How about the honourable blogger

.... come to a dominantly catholic site telling  people: "Catholics, get a life!"

A propos, why is IC featuring rubbish ?!

Wow, Rosie, today is COP whom you are attacking

Rosie, yesterday, it was me. Today it is COP that you are attacking. Ari was smart to call you Orientalist. You write as if you are the smartest on this site. You are also acting very self centered. Remember, site is about Iran not about you. Maybe you need to write it down 100 times:

Iranian. com is about Iran and Iranians not about Rosie, used to be Rosie, Roshan. etc.

Iranian.com is about Iran and Iranians not about Rosie, used to be Rosie, Roshan, etc.

Oh, if that's the problem you're having,

that I accused you of something you didn't say--or rather something you said you don't remember whether you said or not but you might've--I'll be happy to look for it again

ONCE YOU ARE ABLE TO SHOW ME THAT YOU CAN GRASP TBAT IN THAT SHORT EXCERPT YOU PROVIDED OF MY FIRST POST THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT SAYS ANYTHING WHATSOEVER ABOUT BANNING ANY BLOGS.

Do I REALLY have to walk you through this? Do you REALLY have that much trouble reading? Okay, fine, I'll walk you through those couple of sentences and explain to you what they say. But not now. I have to go.

Then IF and only IF you tell me you understand that I didn't say anything about banning, I'll look for the blog again.

God you're thick.

Religionists, get a life !

Blogger included.

How stupid can one get ?! 

No Drama for me -- Rosie

You accuse me of saying something I did not say, but cannot produce the proof that I did. Now you want me to blog about you (it's all about you) when I really don't care that much, so ..nah.....Not interested, you like the spotlight I know, but I don't do khaleh zanak stuff.

I accept your apology though.

BTW, you advocated what you advocated. That is your right, so be a woman and admit it. This is regardless of how thick my head is.

ps COP, one last thing

God, you're thick headed. And of course the problem with people as thick-headed as you is that they're too thick-headed to know how thick-headed they are. And no matter how many times you might try to explain it to them, they never will.

Waiting for your blog about me.

Thanks, Fooladi,

I'll take your advice.

As for you, COP, I told you I'd look for that other blog again when you showed me in that excerpt where I said these types of blogs should be banned. It isn't there. You just can't read.

Anything else you want to discuss with me about myself, set up your own blog addressed to me and ask me, and TELL me, anything you want. And I will answer you.

Not that I expect you to be able to read then either.

I did, I read it

with my lasiked bionic eyes and it still tells me the same: You advocated the blocking of such blogs.

Look, I know you like drama, but I don't. Still haven't told me what your fascination is w/iran; about reading/writing Parsi...my my. I hope its the love of an ex, or current boyfriend - perhaps a student, and not anything less noble.......do tell.  (I like this kinda drama....wink wink)

Found that blog yet?

Rosie: Hyde park corner...

is what this site is begining to look like to me, albeit more "regulated".

I have no problem with it, do you?

As far as this blog goes, i did not go further than the title. I suggest you do the same and let it go.....
