COLUMBIA PRESENTS: Academic Excellence With Hamid Dabashi & Sadri Bros
26-Oct-2010
As the IRI restricts social sciences seen as 'Western' and 'Secular' at odds with the principles of the Islamic Revolution. Our Eminent Self Proclaimed "Green" Intellectuals have found nothing better to do than slam a fellow Secular Colleague Aramesh Doustdar for expressing his views on Islam in a correspodence he had with a German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. ( See Dabashi and Sadri's Related Open Letter Here and Masoud Nogreh-kar's Antagonist Secular Response Here). This is not the first attempt by Hamid Dabashi to badmouth and character assassinate his colleagues. One simply has to remember his jealous rants against Azar Nafisi or Historian Abbas Milani both accused of being Neo Con Side Kicks and War Mongerers while on the otherhand he praised the likes of Controversial Pro Palestinian Champion George Galloway despite the latter's outrageous support of President Ahmadinejad and having a Regular Program on IRI's Press TV. Jumping on the Bandwagon of the Green Movement he never predicted nor wished for he has been coming accross as the self proclaimed spokesperson for the same Green Movement on his weekly Online Program : The Week in Green. In addition DOKOTOR Dabashi in order to avoid being himself contradicted on one of the Diaspora's groundbreaking and subversive TV Shows Parazit took the initiative to interview it's talented presentators Kambiz Hosseini and Saman Arbabi and take them by the soft side as by fear of being put in an uncomfortable situation himself. ( I am still looking forward to seeing Hamid Dabashi in the uncomfortable seet of the person interviewed and not the interviewer on that Program, although I ever doubt that he will be asked the uncomfortable questions now that the two presentators were given a platform by our eminent Columbia Professor).
If Mr. Dabashi thinks he can dictate his terms on everymind as if Iranians society was composed of Obedient Students or likeminds like his fellow colleagues Ahmad and Mahmoud Sadri then he is Dead Wrong. But I am sure Mr. Dabashi and Co.'s Courses would perfectly fit the IRI's Academic Requirements in the upcoming semester ... ( Educating Donkeys)

Thanks Darius jaan for useful links on Sadri and Co.
by Farah Rusta on Wed Oct 27, 2010 08:36 AM PDTThe link regarding Ahmad Sadri and Mesbah-Yazdi (Ahmdi Nejad's Mentor) is of particular interest and discloses the depth of duplicity to help survive the regime. In his talk with the recently Islamicized Dabashi, Sadri makes a number of obvious mistakes and deliberately misinforms the audience. For instance, suggesting that Iranians kept their original language and calendar after the Arab invasion!! He is also very (passively) angry at the anti-Islamic intellectuals that ascribes his own anger to the opponents of Islamic thinkers. He is unintelligible and contradictory in his analysis of the roots of anti-Islamic thinking as well as being hypocritical in welcoming an atheistic critique of Islam. His joint letter with Dabashi and his sibling against Aramesh Doostar is the latest proof of his double standards.

Anahid Hojjati is another hypocrite of a different ideology who does not have a problem if iranians inside iran suffer as a consequence of sanctions.

Ajoudani and Doostdar
by Farah Rusta on Tue Oct 26, 2010 03:25 PM PDTMashallah Ajoudani and Aramesh Doostdar outrank Dabashi+Sadrix2 by at least a hundreds degrees. Both of these secular thinkers have contributed to the secular intellectual movement of Iran in depth and breadth that can not be even nearly matched by any of their contemporaries. The only other contender who was (repeat was) in their league was Javad Tabatabaee before he sold himself to the Islamic regime. Both Ajoudani and Doostar are innovative thinkers who have initiated a firm and established line of thinking in re- viewing our history and its associated intellectual developments. Such feats have never been achieved by the likes of Dabashi or Sadris. With the so-called leftist Dabashi joining forces with reformist Islamist like the Sadri twins and Ganji (not matter how insignificant they truly are) to oppose Doostdar the real face of the Iranian-American leftist movement is exposed. These pseudo-leftists who oppose the American capitalist/imperialist system while at the same time pay taxes to and enjoys the dividends of the same system, give the concept of hypocrisy a new name: double-dealing.
And now these double-dealers are desperately in need of being trusted!! Their recent rush to rescue their badly listing ship by sending the hastily composed letter to Habermas is in fact a poorly transmitted s,o,s message to the wrong captain.

"This is not the first attempt by Hamid Dabashi to badmouth and character assassinate his colleagues."
that's fine but maybe you should stop being a hypocrite and practice what you preach. nearly every single blog post your make is filled with such tactics to smear your opponents, be it iranian.com members to people who dont post on this site. its almost as if you've turned into a propaganda minister for Reza Pahlavi like Sargord is for the regime in Teheran.

Darius, who are you to knock
by Sargord Pirouz on Tue Oct 26, 2010 08:59 AM PDTDarius, who are you to knock Dabashi? Your intellectual abilities these days appear limited to the most rudimentary cut and pastes jobs using graphics software, and linking to other people's YouTube clips. Heck, the last book you read was in January 2009! And it was nothing more than a self-indulgent, personal perspective from a malcontented woman! Hardly high-brow stuff.
But yeah, go ahead and knock persons many times more eminent than yourself, with your own fluffed-up and hopelessly silly self-regard. We could use the snickers and amusement, at your own expense of course.
