شاه رفت، خامنه ای آمد

درفاصله سی سال که چشم بهمزدنی است در تاریخ، استبداد مدرن جای خود را به "نظام توتالیتر مذهبی" داد

16-Jan-2011 (9 comments)
32 سال بعد از روز "شاه رفت"، آسمان ایران را ابر سیاه استبداد گرفته است. ازتولد "گفتمان آزادی" - دستاورد بزرگ جنبش سبز- تانهادینه شدنش، تا تبدیل شدنش بعنوان یک عنصر جاری فرهنگی، عمر درازی باید. ما. من و تو. همه ما. دیگر تاج شاهی برداشته و عبای آخوندی بدوش انداخته ایم. در لفظ گفتمان آزادی را فریاد می کنیم، در عمل به آن رنگ استبداد می زنیم. من خونریز ازتبار تاریخی ما آمده، چرخی زده و گفتمان روزرا به رنگ خود درآورده است. >>>

EXECUTION

Every Eight Hours

Iran on “execution binge”

16-Jan-2011 (63 comments)
Since the beginning of the New Year, Iran has hanged 47 prisoners, or an average of about one person every eight hours. Iran executes more people per capita than any other country, and in absolute numbers, is second only to China. On Saturday, 15 January 2011, Iran hanged a Kurdish prisoner some Iranian websites have identified as Hossein Khazri, a Kurdish political prisoner on the death row. A local official in the province of Western Azerbaijan told media that “a member of the Pejak (an armed Kurdish guerilla group)” was hanged in Urumiye prison on Saturday morning>>>

RESPONSE

Defending a convicted murderer?

Iranians need no lessons in democracy from ill-informed foreign observers

16-Jan-2011 (4 comments)
The execution of Shahla Jahed does not offer any special insight into the Iranian nation’s understanding of women, let alone any entrenched cultural or social misogynistic tendencies. Ms. Yazdani’s flawed premise draws a link between a murder conviction and the socio-cultural condition of a people. At best, the Jahed execution might offer insight into institutional misogyny in Iran, expressed in a possibly flawed legal judgment. However, to then take that judgment and draw from it conclusions about a nation’s democratic maturity and its understanding of women seems to me to be an unfounded and uninformed leap>>>

QUESTION

What’s More Dangerous?

Muslims or Islamophobia?

16-Jan-2011 (38 comments)
When you hear the word “terrorist,” who comes to mind? Basque separatists in white hoods? Anarchists wearing bandanas with five-pointed stars? Or perhaps some right- or left-wing outcasts building bombs in basements? My guess is that none of these characters wins top billing in the minds of most people when they think of terrorists. Why? Mainly because we don’t generally hear about these kinds of terrorists in the news, and when we do, they aren’t typically called “terrorists.” They’re just called murderers, thugs or lunatics>>>
