December 3, 2003 * Speaking for silent majority I have to say I delight in reading Iqbal Latif's articles, illustrating as they do the existence of, I believe, a sizeable number of conservatives blessed with the ability to reason and come to the right conclusions, like myself, rather than hissing hysterically about Bush the mass murderer. The only problem is that most of these sound conservatives, the "good people" as Cicero would have called them (friends of law and order, personal freedom and security, civil society and property rights) are a silent majority that rarely expresses itself with the eloquence of our friend Iqbal Latif. It is precisely that "impotant rage" that pushes the loosers to blow everything up - from school buses to Twin Towers to American soldiers - or all that is not anarchy, poverty and dreariness. But these mobsters, like the communists and fascists of old, have their spineless though insidious sympathisers in the West, those vacuous, immoral hypocrites who live in London and Paris, not Baghdad, Basra or Damascus, who think Bush is bad and Carter good, and who secretly despise the peoples of foreign lands, thinking them undeserving of the liberal democracy they themselves enjoy and denigrate. There is your orientalism. I've just about had it with the Left. * Smearing the image of all Muslims I have always associated men who were bow-ties with being an oppressing Republican, a chauvinist and the kind of Conservative that believe women should be just housewives. That is why anytime I saw an article [Waiting for Allah] by this Mr. Iqbal, I simply ignored it and even when someone I love very much told me he had written a reply to one of this man's articles I said, just ignore him. Today I realized why that wonderful and peaceful person had been outraged because I wanted to go and slap Mr. Iqbal's fat face as well. How dare for you to say that Muslim communities rejoice at American miseries? I cry every time I see a solder on TV and if I hear about casualties I sob. I was against the war and predicated everything that is happening and put it in writing when the election was going on. People in my office wanted to vote Republican. I am not a magician but being from that region of the world it was not difficult to see that the war would not result in victory. But, as a human being and a mother I do not want to see anyone killed on either side (except the ones who have tortured people). I have this overwhelming suspicion that you like to kiss up to the Americans and there are many like you and that is not out of your sincere appreciation for freedom but your motivations are strictly material and I am never wrong in my conclusions. Calling Prince Abdullah a hardliner made me laugh so hard because there is proof that you must be smoking something that makes your brain not function. Do you even know that his mother is British? Do you know that he had problems speaking Arabic properly? Do you know that he was just like his daddy a womanizer and most of his time was spent in the sack with the different spices of females while he was in England? Mr. Iqbal I don't think you have to be a rocket scientist to know that a little man like Prince Abdullah with a big ego was more interested in his little sexual adventures than wasting his time on learning about Islam! Also, don't you ever dare to assume that all Muslims are fatalist and simply sit around and wait for Allah. I don't know what you do for a living but look around you and marvel at the number of extremely successful Iranians that are open-minded, compassionate and well educated and Allah is there to provide spiritual guidance and none of these people are sitting around and waiting for Allah. Those of us who have been blessed with having reached the path of spirituality and have experienced the hand of destiny know that we make the choices in life but we ask the divine for his guidance and support. People like you smear the image of all Muslims by stereotyping and generalizing. I know many Muslims who are wonderful, compassionate, kind and not corrupt. These people are very successful and make a difference in people's lives and are not sitting and waiting for Allah and do not rejoice in the misfortunes of the "infidels" as you call them. Find something better to do. How about some exercise to get rid of some of that excess fat that is clouding your judgment? * Significant (!) Iranians? Dear Iranian.com users and readers: Maybe Iranian.com can set up a "ghorboon-saleegheh" part of the website, and keep actually significant (!) Iranians on the "Iranian of the day" section, so that all the moms and dads out there can stop wasting our dear time. Honestly, to all the readers out there, how many more pictures of children
do you want to see as "Iranian of the day," "Iranian of
every day," "smooch smooch smooch my 2-year old son Cyrus or
Darius or ... (insert king's name here)?" * Alliance with avowed enemies? truly a piece of garbage written by a piece of garbage [Real axis of evil]. it is really is NO SURPRISE AT ALL that, after 25 years, our country is barely a third world country, that after all this time iranians have yet to speak with a united, coherent opposition voice. not with dickheads like this in our midst. according to this dickhead, in order for our country to be liberated, we iranians should genuflect ourselves before jews and israelis and profess our devotion to the state of israel. we should form a strategic relationship with a country boasting one of the most atrocious human rights records in the world and hop into bed with its supporters? people who's unrelenting hostility towards iran, iranians, and everyone else who's a muslim (or not pro-israeli) has shaped america's foreign policy throughout the middle east? MOREOVER, we should throw our weight behind a so-called self-professed leader (reza pahlavi) who's not only been getting it up the ass from the israelites and neo-cons for some time now, but who also has gone so far as to meet israeli leaders--the same israeli leaders who've repeatedly threatened to bomb iran whenever they damn well feel like it? this dickhead is either a jew himself (although i doubt it) or is just someone willing to do ANYTHING just to liberate our country, even if it means forming an alliance with the avowed enemies of iran? sounds like a familiar story: maryam rajavi and her ilk did the same thing with saddam. the only difference is that rajavi wears a roosari, whereas pahlavi is more presentable with the nice suits he buys with stolen iranian money. but we need not worry about pahlavi-he'll get his in due time. one last thing. while attempting to posit turkey (of all countries) as a beacon of human rights and democracy in the muslim world, the author states, "Though at times under threat from Kurdish separatists and Armenian terrorists...bla bla bla". get yer facts straight, dickhead. it's the other way around. the kurds have always been under threat from turkey as turkey has systematically attempted to destroy their culture and language. and armenian terrorists?? two words for you dickhead: armenian genocide. * Also in Boston I am happy to report to you my last article "What are you going to be Thankful" was also published in the Boston Metro Newspaper which is one of the largest papers in Boston. This was on Wednesday 11/26/03. To preview it you must download Adobe reader, and it can be seen on metropoint.com. Keep up the good work. * Idiots running my country The attached photo is the front page of Kayhan newspaper, dated Saturday November 29, 2003. This newspaper is printed in Tehran and is the mouthpiece of the Islamic Republic of Iran under supervision of the famous Evin Prison torturer Houssein Shariatmadari. The headline in Farsi reads "the turkey has landed in Baghdad in a burglar fashion". Under the headlines are the pictures of President Bush next to pictures of picketers in front of an Albertsons supermarket in California. The picketers are shown as Anti-Bush demonstrators. I encourage you to publicize this blunder, so that the people of the world would know what kind of idiots are running my country. Ramin Etebar, M.D. * Shame on Britain! I knew from the first day that Britain would not extradite Hadi Soleimanpour, the ex-Iranian diplomat accused of being involved in the bombing of the Jewish Center, to Argentina. It was a plot to derail the investigation and Britain did it. It is impossible to believe that Britain, as the staunchest supporter of the Islamic fundamentalism and the main architect of the Islamic Republic on one side and the worst enemy of Iranians on the other side, had any intention to extradite Soleimanpour. Britain releases Soleimanpuor despite having confessions of an Iranian
agent and the direct role of this man and other mullahs in killing
of innocent people. Shame on Britain! * Depicting Iranians as humans I agree with Naghmeh Sohrabi and some of his views of Iranian cinema. [Who you talkin' to?] For some Iranian audiences who like Iranian films, they like them for the wrong reason. Not because it depicts their culture but it makes Americans and people from the West look at them not as terrorists but as skilled humans. What I don't agree with is that the West is patronizing Iranian cinmea. I have never seen nor heard of any Iranian film. I really don't think in my lifetime that I will ever hear of one. I think that people in the West are more concerned with films by big-time directors that spend millions on a movie. It is a shame though that Iranian cinema does not get shown as much as it should for it depicts Iranians as humans and depicts real life situations about them. * No one is clearly Iranian Dear Shiwan, [Zartosht was Iranian] Yet again I approach a misguided, brainwashed, uneducated Kurd. Regardless whether they are a Kurd in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Armenia, or Lebanon, from what Shiwan has written, he has been clearly been misguided by Western supported ignorant Kurdish Nationalistic movements. Let me tell you something. I am an Iranian. Now what does this mean. Iranian means "Land of the Aryans", a civilization present for 20,000 years, being the oldest in the world. Being Iranian doesn't mean living in the political boundaries set by the Russians, British and the French. Being Iranian means behaving in the cultural manner which has taken thousands of years to establish. People of the Pars, Kurd, Lur, Azeri, Gilaki, Oskini, Mazandarani, Baluchi, Yazdi, Kermani, Tajik and countless other peoples comprimise our proud and beloved nation. No one is clearly Iranian, they are of a people which makes up Iran. Iran without Kurds isn't Iran and Kurdistan without Iran isn't Kurdistan. As a Kurd (my name neing Heresh) and an Azeri, I dismiss all Kurdish Nationalists. Why? Because I am proud and aware of what makes me Iranian. I continue to read my history, speak Persian, Kurdish fluently, and understand Azeri. I have not been brainwashed by Barzani or other fat bellied rif-raf who are supported by the MI6 and CIA. So, Mr Shiwan, le jayeh ke tee era o be ema IRANIKAN eyjhee Zartosh Kurd bo o Irani naboo, bechoo taareekh Iran bekhwaneh (instead of coming and telling us IRANIANS that Zartosht was a Kurd and not Iranian go and read the history of Iran). urthermore "Iranian" as
you called it is not an Arabic language, it is an Aryan language, and
if you are referring to Arabic influences in Persian, can I remind you
of Iraqi Kurds who have many of their nouns in Arabic, e.g. Sayareh for
car. |
