PARAZIT
21-Jun-2011 (8 comments)
اینطور نبود که مثلا یک گروهی از دولت آمریکا نشستند در زیر زمین کنگرۀ آمریکا و تصمیم گرفتند که این دلقک را با آن دلقک قاطی کنند و پارازیت را تولید کنند. نه، اینطور نبود. طرحِ ایده مال ماست ، هیچ ربطی به دولت آمریکا نداره، تنها کاری که دولت آمریکا میکنه اینه که این سکو را فراهم کرده و دارد به ما حقوق میدهد، امکانات میدهد که ما بتوانیم برنامه ای را که دوست داریم اجرا کنیم. که ما البته سپاسگزاریم که این فرصت به ما داده شده>>>
RIGHTS

In order to claim a rightful and equitable place among civilized and peaceful democratic nations of the world, Iranians need to overcome major internal and external impediments. There is no assurance that Iranians will not receive heart targeting stabs from every direction. Despair and failure will keep overwhelmingly showing their horrid heads at every turn of their attempt to establish rationality, humanity and harmony, and the creation of a peaceful state>>>
IDEAS

The social laws of a society are based on logical, relative, changeable agreements controlled by the will of masses. In a theocracy the religious and canonic principles are faith, finality, non changeability and control by the will of an individual. The merger of religion and government creates a more central and absolutist rule. Such governments were not strangers to brutality. Thus it made no difference what religion Iranians had. If a religion merges with the ruling government the result is, soon or later, the same>>>

بخشی از ما مردان به رشد شتابان زنان برای داشتن همه حقوقی که همیشه متعلق به ما بوده است اعتراض کردیم و سرسختانه بر ضعیف بودن و کمتر بودن قابلیت‌های ذاتی زنان اصرار ورزیدیم. برای همین تصمیم گرفتیم یا بیشتر به مذهب پناه ببریم، یا به رفتن به درون طبیعت و گذراندن اوقات زیاد با مردانی که قدر شکار و ماهیگیری و ورزش را می‌دانند خود را تسکین دهیم>>>

در جمهوری اسلامی تنها افرادی که شبانه به یک مهمانی خصوصی در خمینی‌شهر ریخته و جنایات فجیع جنسی را مرتکب شده‌اند مقصر نبوده‌اند. تقصیر عمده را باید متوجه فرهنگ و قوانینی دانست که سنگ‌های دفاع و دادخواهی زنان ستم‌دیده را بسته‌اند و سگ‌های شهوت و تجاوز و سرکوب جنسی و حلال کردن جان و مال و بدن دگرباشان را رها کرده‌اند. فرهنگ مردسالار جامعه ما سابقه‌ای ریشه‌دارتر از جمهوری اسلامی دارد، ولی این نظام با قوانین زن‌ستیز و ظالمانه خود به تقویت منحط‌ترین و خشن‌ترین عناصر این فرهنگ دست زده و به شدت از آن‌ها حراست می‌کند>>>

Yesterday my mom invited me to see a film in French that she’d heard good things about. Little did I know as I settled into my seat I was facing, not a screen, but a mirror. It’s one thing to watch a mother-child film with your mother. But it takes it to another level to watch the tale of a Middle Eastern mother’s experience with your mother -- who happens to be an immigrant from said region herself. Specifically, Incendies is about a woman whose death prompts her children to realize that maybe they didn’t know her at all>>>

The day began like any other day. I woke to the voice of the muezzin calling people to prayers, Allah o Akbar. After Maryam finished praying we had our usual breakfast-- sangag bread still warm from the stone oven it was baked in, jam that Maryam made herself with pears and plums, mint-scented tea. On the way to Tehrani Elementary School I stopped at my friend Batul’s house, at the mouth of the alley, to pick her up. We passed the public baths and the mosques, sights visible on practically every street in the Khanat Abad neighborhood>>>

The civil rights organization Asian Law Caucus has released its latest guide, The Impact of U.S. Sanctions Against Iran on You, which lays out some of the effects of sanctions on ordinary Iranian Americans and provides guidance for how to navigate the maze of new and existing restrictions. Last year, when Iranian-American Mahmoud Reza Banki was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for facilitating remittances between families in the U.S. and Iran, shockwaves rippled through the Iranian-American community>>>

Upon the request of many citizens and his passion for assisting public, Dr. Manoochehr Nikrooz further decided to get involved in socio politics. In 1984, he was therefore chosen as the Jewish lawmaker of Iranian parliament (Majlis) with 99% of the elected votes at the age of 35. He was also relected for a second term as this made him the only Jewish lawmaker ever being elected to Iranian parliament post revolution for total of 8 years with consecutive approval rate of above 95%>>>

Warsaw became the capital of Poland because it was geographically close to Lithuania when that Duchy joined it in a 16th century Commonwealth. It was razed to the ground in 1944 because the uprising of its residents outraged the occupying Germans. It was rebuilt by the Polish Communist regime and received its largest landmark building as a gift from Stalin after WWII. It emerged as a leader in the movement that by 1990 ended the European Communist Empire established by Russia, Poland’s nemesis for over two centuries>>>

The regime running Iran should get no credit for the advancement of women. That credit goes to the progressive people of that country for resisting and circumventing a fanatical government which has made every attempt to block their progress by putting them on unequal footing. Forced hijab is the most powerful symbol of that policy. Second, Iran should not be considered an Islamic state -- whatever that means. A prerequisite for a person to be a true Muslim is free choice and since Iran doesn't allow that opportunity to its people, it fails the Islam test>>>
