onlyiran long time no see

where have you been? 

your anti-Semitic labeling is equal to the " Mohareb Ba Khoda" labeling of IRI.. 

Thanks for stopping by  anyway and thanks for NOT reading the blog and the report... 

LOL  

Thank you dear Maryam

and thanks for taking your time and reading the blog .  : )

God, what an anti-Semitic piece of nonsense :-)

And the person claims to be a "scientist"....What a people we have become thanks to 32 years of IRI propaganda...

SK, excellent Blog

I loved it and the comments are sitimulating.  I learnt a lot from this blog.

Dear SK...

         It is true that Christianity has a worse track record in dealing with scientific progress but that does not contradict the fact that all religions are myth! They belong to early era in history. Human history is asymmetric. Past is always ignorant compare to future. But as you suggested we pick up this topic somewhere else.

        My point was however that even though currently religion is a main component of Iran's identity (contrary to what some wishful intellectuals may think), it won't & can't be the case in not too distant of a future!

         But on the main point I agree with your sentiment that advocating an attack on Iran is a stupid idea and carrying that out is even more stupid!

Oh " I'm flattered " dear Rozbeh

Now,  is it the same as " PR " , Public Relations ,  then I am all for it  : )

minister of justice?

sure, but Only if the cabinet has you as the minister of propaganda :) 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Ok OK .... Rozbeh ....

We make you the " Minister of Justice " in our new cabinet ....  

how about that?

lol 

XOXO

Thanks for further info on the Arabic alphabets .....

Also The Islamic Empire owes its entire Islamic architecture that has come to be known in the west as the Spanish architecture  to the talented  Persian  architects.  

"lets get the VF right way and from within"

From within, from without, right way or wrong way, we're OK with it. Indeed,  I'd hug khamenei, ahmadinezhad and their entire "die hard" gang of thieves, terrorists and murderers, all the way to that nice little court house in hague...

fair enough?  

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Excellent observation dear Vildemose

 " If the IRI was no so corrupt-ravaged and foolish, others could not so easily make or break it. This kind of manipulaion can only happen when the ruling elite do not represent the will of the people and are only interested in lining their own pockets."

Yes, with friends like iRI who needs enemy  ! 

Dear XOXO

I guess we are at the same page regarding him being born in Iran and any link you are posting just confirms his birth place.

Look at the date of his birth and the date of Arab invasion of Persia. He is second/ possibly third generation Arabs who born in Iran and wrote in Persian .  Also this was brought up in a class I took back in college...

Anyway , I am sure there are many more examples other than him but he was and is a major poet and a muslim scientist even within the standards of today's western society. 

I like you too dear XOXO  and please do not hesitate to point out questionable items or further facts. I would make the corrections if it is necessary but in his case I am pretty sure ..  

Now we are not here to discuss his parents birth certificate, like Obama ! are we?  LOL 

 I did skim through the

 I did skimmed through the 170 pages and read the conclusion. It was very disturbing on so many levels.  I don't know how we can put end to this abomination where other nations can determine the future lives of so many others. If the IRI was no so corrupt-ravaged and foolish, others could not so easily make or break it. This kind of manipulaion can only happen when the ruling elite do not represent the will of the people and are only interested in lining their own pockets.

Peek-a-boo ... LOL

King Darius , Thanks for stopping by at this commoner's  blog !   I almost missed your post.  Nice links ; The video never fells to crack me up ..

Harry Enfield: The Americans - "Isn't She Probably Pretty & Peek ... 

Radicalization of Islam in Europe is not going to last. It will go away and it is not even that much to be concerned.  Also the IRI made Islam is not going to last either but the religion itself is going to stay and has billions of followers around the world .  As long we keep it out of the state laws we should be fine ... 

Are you sure Soosan? Anyway: payyandeh Iran!

I know a lot of Iranians took on religious names after Islam (, but is there any place I see that?  Just curious.  It doesn't change that I like your article. 

See this: //arabnews.com/lifestyle/art_culture/article56541.ece

German site:  

" Chajjam … born on May 18th, 1048 at Nischapur, Persia. We do not know much about his life. …Omar Chajjam wrote his Rubaijat in Persian, whereas he wrote his scientificworks mainly in Arabic, because Arabic was the official language in Persia athis time.”  German Site:  //www.projektmaxstirner.de/khayy7.htm#rubai

Omar Kayyam

Omar Kayyam was Arab Iranian ...... hint African American 

I am talking about the race here ... I also mentioned in my blog that he was Arab Iranian born  ... 

Soosan, they can't conquer us ... I agree

... it's a losing battle for them.  The best they can do is start another civil war.  Iranians vanquish all invaders (some take longer), but it happens.

Great article! 

Thanks XOXO

For the comments. I have to look up further into your version but nothing that you mentioned can really change the facts that I brought up; even if Arabs sent a few women to Arabia. They, like many others invaders in our country 's history, invaded and they stayed and they completely became Iranians soon after. Iran did not become a Turkish or Mongolian or Arabic country.  Iran had indirectly influenced them, their invaders, and they became Iranian. That is a fascinating fact.  Iran never became a colony of any country.

Iranians held on to their language, we are still speaking Farsi and Farsi is official language not Turkish or Mongolian or Arabic , etc .....   Iranians have always been worshiping one God and we  have never fallen for polytheism not even after the invasion of Alexander .. Iranian nation are not an easy nation to conquer..

"Arabic" alphabet based on Perso-Mede Avestan Alphabet

... Most Arabs couldn't read or write until they were influenced by Iran.  

Here's the Avestan Alphabet, it's precedes Arabic by many centuries (if it looks like Arabic, it's because they borrowed our calligraphy and alphabet; a lot of people did that; but look at how close it is:

vildemose and Bavafa

thanks for the articles vildemose  but I still really want you to take your time reading " the Path to Persia" 

Bafava you are right on points. I encourage everyone here to take their time and read the entire thing ...

Soosan Khanoom .

Soosan, I like you very much; I know where you're coming from in this article (and thanks for denouncing the "bomb Iran" crowd).  But some of the historical facts were a little off -- but it's okay.

* The Arab invaders sacked the seat of power (there were only about 30,000 - 50,000 of them) -- but they kidnapped many Iranian girls and sent them back to Arabian lands to be raped / sold.   You'll see that many 'Arabs' look Iranian.    

* Azaris were and always have been Iranians -- their language got changed from the Turco-Mongol invasions.  

* Many of the Turkemen are 2-rageh: Already they had mixed with Iranians in Samarkhand and Bukhara on their travels from the Altai mountains ; then they got to the Turkmenistan area and mixed again in NorthEastern Iran.  

I don't have anything against people based on their ethnicity -- if they know themselves as Iranians now; bless them.  If they are our enemies, that's their choice.  Many of them are actually Iranians from hundreds of years of marriage and child-bearing.

Dear Lili

It is so kind of you and I  appreciated the time you took reading this blog ...  

Maziar

You have some points here, that could be true ...

But this land of free may not remain that Free in the near future . With  the Neocons and the way that economy is going ... well who knows ...  as we say it in farsi " Khoda ra cheh deedee "   : )

Mohammad

Thanks for stopping by and yes " Koo goosh-e shenavaa "

It is hard to get people to listen while everyone is yelling and constantly are throwing keyboards at each other ......   LOL 

Disenchanted

Battle of science and religion ..... !!!  Which religion are you talking about ?

This battle was and still is ( as you see for example  n the stem cell research , etc) a battle between science and Christian church.  But Sceince and Islam have never been contradicting each other. But,anyway, this is not what we should be discussing on this blog ..  

The reason I mentioned they became muslims is because they really did become one at that time.  And , NO, Iran did not even invade so the Turks or Mongols being forced to accept Islam ...... Quite contrary they were the ones who invaded Iran and I think that is by itself remarkable and something to ponder...

Thanks for commenting and  It seems that as you have pointed out THE scenario is going to be the case here .....

Analogy with Arab or Mongol invasion is not warranted!

      Likelihood of an all out invasion by foreign forces is almost nil!

       A scenario similar to Libya is more likely particularly in the wake of what happened there. In any case Iran would be bombed to stone age! A scenario that everyone from Israel to Saudi to Gulf states would love to see.

          Iran's future identity is also up for grabs. I don't think Iran or any other country can have a religious identity too far into the future. Battle of science and religion is only 400 years old. Eventually the truth will dominate the myth!

There I was praying, upon my sagging silicon bags,  for more intelligence on IC, and here we have an intelligent blog and I'm too thick to understand it all to make an even vaguely appropriate comment.
