"I am not going to ask DK"
by پندارنیک on Sat Dec 17, 2011 10:37 AM PSTWell, let's call her a Bahai or a Jew and get it over with.........I couldn't care less then, and I don't care now.............I didn't care when I saw a Cross in His Majesty's sister bedroom (no....shams was not in the bed.....she was not in her palace at all on that day)............All I needed was a Shah adhering to the terms and conditions stipulated in the constitution or at least pretending to adhere...........that's all.............He crossed the point of no return......and she is, in my opinion, an accessory to the crime...............
Sorry DK, for off-topic............or, was it?

by amirkabear4u on Sat Dec 17, 2011 04:04 AM PSTI always wondered what was her religion. I am not going to ask DK, surely he is going to say Islam. She never looked muslem to me. WHY is it no one mention her belief??????
Thank you Mr. Kadivar
by پندارنیک on Fri Dec 16, 2011 04:12 PM PSTThis is a precious blog.............which sadly demonstrates how good she was in communicating with the foreigners, yet unable to connect with her own people..........how detached from reality she has always remained............She is also lucky that monarchists haven't yet decided to launch a law suit against her for helping the dead king in uprooting a 25-century national tradition of kingdom............
Once again I appreciate your honest efforts for reminding us of bitter reality in our past in the hope of a sweet dream of tomorrow(?)..........or something like that...................
God bless you along the dead king..........
