The government crackdown in Iran is continuing, as hundreds of people, including moderates associated with the presidential candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi, have been detained. It was unclear how the millions of Iranians who had filled the streets to protest the election outcome would respond in the coming days, but the outpouring over the death of Neda Agha-Soltan has heightened the sense of social upheaval.

It's about time
by Asghar_Massombagi on Thu Jun 25, 2009 09:36 AM PDTThanks, Cosmopolitan Iran for the links. It's about time the mainstream media included Dabashi's very articualte point of view on Iran. One may agree or disagree with Dabashi, but you can't ignore his voice. He's simply too important a public intellectual not to be included in public discourse on Iran.

Dabashi is the very Martin Luther King Jr. we are seeking...
by Cosmopolitan Iran (not verified) on Thu Jun 25, 2009 07:07 AM PDTYou are nothing but a petty little man Darius Kadivar—irrelevant and illiterate as usual! You and your ilk must feel extremely useless these days on the face of heroism inside Iran and the outstanding ability of Professor Hamid Dabashi to read and guide this movement...
Many of us truly believe that Professor Dabashi is the very Martin Luther King Jr. that our people need!
Mr. Kavidar, neither you or any of your pathetic and backward monarchist friends will ever write Op-eds in the New York Times, nor will people in Iran ever give a hoot about your crocodile tears (best performed by Reza mini-Pahlavi the other day--sickening to watch)...you people (incl. your SAVAK) are the disgrace of our nation together with the Basijis and Khamenei et al.
Long live Iran, its heroic people and Professor Dabashi who is our best moral voice in this world! Professor Dabashi is our contemporary Rumi, Khayyam, Sai’di...God bless him and our brave people!
Watch his talk in Persian and die of envy:
