An Iranian Baha'i's letter to President Ahmadinejad

13-Nov-2007 (148 comments)
Mr. President, as you well know, there are over 6.5 million Baha'i's in the world; more than Jews and Zorasterians combined. There is no one country that has a great majority of its population consisting of Baha'is. We reside in every country in every continent of this globe. In over 90% of non Islamic countries, the Bahai faith is recognized as a religion and the Baha'is of said countries enjoy the freedoms offered to all its citizen equally. Additionally, the United Nations recognizes the Baha'i' faith as a major religion>>>

دفاع شیرین خانم عبادی از پرونده قتل زهراها

13-Nov-2007 (25 comments)
به هر حال دادگاه قتل زهرا کاظمی برگزار شد و با خواندن گزارش این دادگاه می بینیم که بیشتر این وکیل متهم است که داد سخن می دهد و او همچون جمهوری قتل و سرکوب، حربه اش تفرقه و تجزیه و معنازدایی از کلمات و بی معنا کردن کردن کلمات و سفسطه و مغلطه است. مدافعان قاتلان کلمات "قتل" را به "شبه قتل" و سپس به"ضربه مغزی" و سرانجام به "فوت عادی" سوق می دهند. از "شکنجه" حرفی به میان نمی آید و نباید بیاید چون شکنجه هیچ ربطی به فوت عادی ندارد>>>

HOMOSEXUALITY

When God & Darwin see eye to eye!

If indeed a gene was responsible for the behaviour it would have been eliminated by natural selection?

13-Nov-2007 (15 comments)
As the battle between proponents of intelligent design and evolution rages particularly in US there is something rather odd to make a note of. Considering homosexuality to be a deviation from what is normal and natural has made strange bedfellows form religious right and evolutionary scientists. The opposition to homosexuality in Koran for example could hardly be stronger considering the story of "Loot" society being destroyed by God because of their homosexual acts. >>>

Part 3 of "Where do we go from here"

13-Nov-2007 (14 comments)
The reason that I do not advocate a war against Islam is not because of my blind faith, but because I believe it to be the wrong war and irrelevant to our goals. To me personally, Islam is a tool. No more no less. A tool cannot be praised or blamed for the way it is used. Now, let me elaborate. Imagine a carving knife. A knife on its own cannot be good or bad. In the hand of a great artist like Leonardo Davinchi a knife can be used to create the greatest sculpture masterpieces and the same knife in the hands on a murderer can be used to kill innocent people.>>>

سلام بیژن خان خوب، امروز سالگرد پریدن تو به سوی ماه کامل است. آمدهام بر فراز صدایت خم شوم و چند شاخه رؤیای خسته و مجروح، روی ترمهی دلتنگیات بگذارم، - بنفش، به رنگ خودت، رنگ نیلوفر خوابهای بودا-. راستی تو آن روزها که امید، هنوز امید بود، چه رنگی بودی؟... حتماً آن بالا، کنار دریای سیاه چشمهای گیس گلابتون، آنقدر بر سرنوشت‌ات چیره شدهای که دیگر به روزهای تیره فکر نمیکنی.>>>

STORY

Welcome home

I knew I was at the cross roads

12-Nov-2007 (2 comments)
I was back to my home after many years I was filled with excitement. From the looks of the buildings and construction it looked as though there were certainly more people in the city then before. As I approached the gate to the city I noticed something was weird about my surroundings everyone was frozen, they were not able to move they just stood like ice sculptures frozen in time. I drove through the Main boulevards and realized that this phenomenon was apparent across the city. Everyone was a wax sculpture.>>>

IMPRESSION

Journey to Tehran

Iranians are strong-willed, dynamic, courteous... and fatalistic in a pessimistic way

12-Nov-2007 (90 comments)
Tehran greeted me on January 3rd, 2007 around 5 am at the Tehran International Airport Mehrabad where courteous but thorough officials waved me through immigration to The Islamic Republic of Iran. The legendary hospitality of the Orient was fully confirmed as a committee, dispatched by the Conference that I was to attend, sent at this inconvenient hour three members to greet me with a beautiful flower arrangement. I went to many Conferences in my lifetime but was never made to feel so welcome or special! This is what I call civilization at its best—especially when one realizes that I am the holder of an American passport that at the present time distinguished me as not an ideal guest.>>>
