Of diety and diarrhea!

Have you noticed that Jesus is the only one (to hedge against a history full of igonorance and bunch of creepy historians I'd say at least the most celebrated one) in the history that has a suspicious birth and death both?! Now, that's what I call unnecessary divine complications! I have a hunch that all this hoopla came about because those who came a couple of centuries after him and tried to mold Christianity in to a religion and convenience the gullible that Jesus was god himself had problem explaining even to the credulous how god can be born or die like rest of us mortals? >>>

Arabian delights

Saturday night was spent at my cousin’s house cooking for friends whilst the boys watched rugby. I had prepared a feast of assorted Arabian delights, which also prompted me to think a little more deeply about the origins of food we were feasting on. What was on the menu? Raas-el-hanout spiced lamb, a kind of maast-o-khiar with rose petals and pomegranate seeds, battata harra (cumin & paprika spiced potatoes) tabbouleh salad, hummus, warak inab (dolmeh) and merguez sausages with harissa (Spicy paste of chillis & spices) and Khobez bread...>>>

دلم برای تماشاگر ایرانی تنگ است

تصویر فرزانه تأییدی، هنرپیشه ای که در تلویزیون، سینما و یا روی صحنۀ تأتر دیده بودم برایم یک تصویر ناشناخته نبود. تصویر دوستی بود که بعد از سال ها دوباره می دیدم. اما در را که به رویم گشود زن ریز نقشی در برابرم ظاهر شد که نمی دانستم چنان چه در آغوشش بگیرم و گونه اش را ببوسم چه بسا که درهم خواهد شکست.خانه اش در غرب لندن مثل بیشتر خانه های انگلیسی ست.>>>

Criticism vs. Racism

It is difficult to judge the British public opinion, as it is usually the media that makes and shapes the public opinion. As far as the British political arena is concerned, I must say no, it has not changed. The British government continues the policy of appeasement of the so-called “Moslem leaders,” whom to my opinion, are self appointed. Consulting with these religious men, in order to “win the hearts of Moslem community, is British government’s key policy.>>>
