by Immortal Guard on Thu Sep 29, 2011 05:02 PM PDTNot only he has a self-defeatist attitude which springs forward at the end of his speech but he also has some vestiges of slave mentality about which he complains at length.
But I found it quite interesting that Iran by absorbing most of the Arab onslaught made the survival of Byzantine Rome and thus the survival of civilization possible.
Down! Down! With Sadaat!
by Esfand Aashena on Thu Sep 29, 2011 05:14 AM PDTDarius jaan when I was in college back in 80, 81 or so, I was standing around campus with my backpack and couple of my friends. We saw this group of people marching and chanting and coming towards us.
As they got closer we could hear their slogans and this guy had a bull horn leading the slogans and a lot of people were marching behind him with flags and all. Sort of like our own Ashoura!
We noticed one of their slogans was Down! Down! With Saddaat! I don't know if I can write the way they chanted but it was continous and sounded like you wanted to dance to it but they were dead serious about it!
As they went by us we were gidding up and smiling and shaking our hips to the slogan! Once they were almost passed us we joined them at the end and yelled Down! Down! With Saddaat! and were laughing and dancing!
To this day this slogan has remained with me. They'd drag the Saddat part sort of like resembling a dying battery. Down! Down! With Saddat!
Everything is sacred
Arafat
by Simorgh5555 on Thu Sep 29, 2011 12:32 AM PDTDid anyone notice from the video clips of Yasser Arafat visiting Khomeini to congratulate him on the victory of the Islamic revolution (and get some cash as well!) that Khomeini was unable to converse with him in Arabic? Despite all those years of seminaries in Qom and Islamic tuition Khomeini could not even engage in small talk in Arabic. Arafat's words were translated into Farsi and Khomeini just sat their smiling.
If the Leader of the Islamic Republic could not speak Arabic fluently why are young Iranians being forced to do so in schools?
