شتر سواری دولا دولا نمیشه

عبدالكريم سروش يك شارلاتان بيش نيست!

G. Rahmanian


امثال سروش وقتي نتوانستند به مقامهاي مورد نظرشان در جمهوري اسلامي دست يابند، به غرب امده وبه اصطلاح خودشان به مبازره با نظام بر خاستند. اين اقا به ملت ايران خيانت كرد و با همدوشانش ده ها هزار دانشجو واستاد را از تحصيل و تدريس محروم كردند! اين دجال در يك مصاحبه در سالهاي أخير ادعا كرد به دانشجويان خدمت كرده وانها بايد قدر اين خدمتها را بدانند.

Empty Headed Pundits

The bottom line is that not a single one of these people know what Iran is going to do, or what is going to happen.

I'll say Dabashi is the best out of the bunch, Farhang is too old and too pissed off to make any kind of coherent point, the others are irrelevant self taught pseudo-experts who don't get the region's nuances, never mind be able to post a coherent opinion.

Iran is the genius in the bottle. And has been let out. Now the region will have to contemplate this key point:

Allowing Islam into it's political process. The danger is that Islam tends to promise the poor money and food. This is hard for democracy to deliver without becoming communism. Islam can safely espouse communist ideas, without any risk. Because regardless of what anyone thinks, Islam has god on it's side.

The whole discussion is irrelevant

by ghalam-doon on

I don't know the date of this discussion but considering what is happeing in the region today, all these discussions are irrelevant.

These guys and other talking heads should make a radical paradigm shift.

Theses people get paid via grants and awards!!!! Here is what Farhang's own college website says:

.....Mansour Farhang and Literature Professor Ahmad Karimi-Hakkak of Maryland University have received grants from three different foundations, including $50,000.00 from George Soros Foundation's Open Society Institute, to convene a conference on “Toward a Culture of Civil Liberties, Human Rights and Democracy in Iran,” ......
