مضحکه این که چندی است هر ننه‌قمر و باباشملی که از ننه‌جانش قهر می‌کند، شروع می‌کند به توهین و فحاشی به «اسلام» و خیال می‌کند با این‌گونه «بی‌ادبی‌ها» روشنفکر تلقی می‌شود. عده‌ای هم که نه مسئولیتی می‌پذیرند و نه سواد و مطالعه‌ای دارند، دنبال این‌ها راه می‌افتند، به «به به و چه چه» گفتن و آقایون را به اشتباه می‌اندازند که انگاری چیزی بارشان است>>>

پولهای باد آورده هند باعث جذب بسیاری از روحانیون و طلاب شیعی به نجف و کربلا شد. این اولین باری نبود که بذل و بخشش قدرتمندان سبب کوچ روحانیون شیعه به نیت برخورداری از چنین منافع می شد. هجرت برخی روحانیون شیعه از ایران به هند به جهت برخورداری از هدایای مالی پادشاهان اود و کوچ روحانیون شیعه جبل عامل از لبنان به ایران در زمان پادشاهان شیعه و روحانی نواز صفوی از آن جمله است>>>

شهر نفس می کشد
و بی کسان
با هر بازدم آن زاده می شوند.
مادران خانه، آنها را
به کودکان نافرمان خود نشان می دهند
و کارفرمایان به کارگران . >>>

PLOT

For a start, it could mean that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the ultimate authority for permitting attacks of this nature, is willing to go further than simply hurting US and Saudi interests through proxies in Iraq and Lebanon. This would set a new precedent, as Iran previously shied from launching operations against US and Saudi interests on their own soil. Yet there’s another, somewhat intriguing possibility. Could elements within the Iranian government or security establishment have planned this attack, without Khamenei's knowledge in order to hurt him and his regime?>>>

Introducing his book, Sasanian Persia, the Rise and Fall of an Empire, Dr. Touraj Daryee begins with a humble claim: there were no books in English dealing exclusively with Sasanian history, so he wrote one. Simple enough! But imagine the need if there were no English language books on Roman history. To gain insight into elements of their own governments, American and British students would have to study their own history through foreign eyes. For Iranian-Americans, particularly the younger generation with English as their first language, Sasanian Persia fills a correspondingly significant gap

More and more research is done to revive the pure Persian vocabulary so that once again they can take their rightful place which for centuries has been occupied by Arabic. This is admirable, but I am sadly reminded of a building tented to fight old termites while there’s a flood on the way! The grave damage done by the Arab influence has left its scars and we are so wrapped up in passionate resentment that it has blinded us to the new blows. I can’t help but ask myself, is there a difference?>>>

چندی ست آمده‌ام لندن و از اقبال خوش توی محله‌ای خانه گرفته‌ام که بهشت را می‌ماند. تو روحیه‌ام، روش زندگی‌ام، تا حدی باورها و طرز فکرم، روابطم و حتی وزنم تاثیر گذاشته است، آن هم از نوع بسزا. اولین روزی که پیاده توی محل چرخی زدم دچار قلیان روحی شدم. با دیدن اولی شاد شدم، بعد هیجان‌زده و به ته خیابان که رسیدم امانم بریده بود. در آخر به این باور رسیدم که تمام دنیا دست اندر کار این بوده تا این آرزوی تحقق یافته، توی جعبه دست من باشد، زولبیا بامیه. احساس غرور کردم>>>

In my suitcase of diaspora I keep
An isolated sunset, murdered crows
A patch of grey sky that
cracks and falls
The patient stone of reminiscence
that turns into a hollow medicine
A dervish trading poetry for food
The glaring gaze of Medusa within

RESTRAINT

Simply put, U.S.-Iran tensions have long been a powder keg, overflowing with nuclear programs, human rights abuses, Stuxnet and secret assassinations. And the alleged terror plot against the Saudi Ambassador shows how easily a single incident can spark a wider conflict. Without serious efforts to defuse a crisis that is steadily spiraling out of control, we are on the precipice of a major war in the region. This is why a containment policy can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy>>>

Despite what many pundits assert, even if it were established through irrefutable evidence that Iran was indeed behind the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi’s ambassador to Washington, International law would still not grant the U.S or Saudi Arabia a right to armed reprisal. In fact, even if the assassination attempt had been carried out successfully, it would still have been quite difficult for the State Department’s Legal Adviser to assert ground for a lawful use of force against Iran>>>

For at least a solid year now, I have been reading the ridiculous claims (usually quoting academia) about the pointlessness of sanctions. I question this especially today with the more than obvious and ever so clear revelation that Iran has been busted now dead to rights, having plotted, bought and paid for an assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US >>>

How has the Islamic Republic of Iran persisted when all indications point to its imminent collapse? Indeed, one of the most stylized facts to emerge from the study of democracy and dictatorship in the last quarter-century involves the robust relationship between a nation’s political elites and its prospects for democracy. As elites become divided in authoritarian regimes, the state becomes increasingly vulnerable to these fissures and inevitably collapses>>>

تنها اقدام جامعه جهانی از طریق نهادهای حکومتی و سازمان ملل ممکن است بتواند تأثیر عملی بر رفتار رژیم ایران بگذارد. از این رو باید از اقدام اخیر اتحادیه اروپا در تحریم کسانی که در نقض حقوق بشر در ایران دست داشته‌اند استقبال کرد، و از جامعه جهانی خواست که این گونه تحریم‌ها را توسعه دهد. هم‌چنین باید برای کشاندن پرونده حقوق بشر رژیم ایران به مراجع بین‌المللی و از جمله شورای امنیت سازمان ملل تلاش کرد>>>

بالاخره امروز این فرصت دست داد تا فیلم تحسین شده ی "جدایی نادر از سیمین" را ببینم. می دانم دیگر تب این فیلم خوابیده و نوشتن نقدی بر آن کاری است کلیشه ای آن هم از دید یک تماشاگر سینما دوست نه منتقد سینمایی! امروز می خواهم بنویسم چون درد تمام وجودم را فراگرفته و حس می کنم هجوم بغض گیر کرده در گلویم و باقیمانده ی اشک هایی که نریختم طوری در وجودم تلنبار شده که هر لحظه احساس خفگی می کنم! >>>

“They’ve hacked into our accounts. Why don't they just take the trouble of responding to all my unopened emails too?” Samira’s reaction to news of a major cyberattack operation on Iranian netizens is typical of the psychic tension, even paranoia - but also acid scorn - provoked in them by living under the shadow of permanent surveillance. The number of internet-users whose emails were intercepted in this incident may have been around 300,000 (most of them Iranian), but the insinuating power of its invasiveness was to make everyone feel watched>>>
