The social laws of a society are based on logical, relative, changeable agreements controlled by the will of masses. In a theocracy the religious and canonic principles are faith, finality, non changeability and control by the will of an individual. The merger of religion and government creates a more central and absolutist rule. Such governments were not strangers to brutality. Thus it made no difference what religion Iranians had. If a religion merges with the ruling government the result is, soon or later, the same>>>

بخشی از ما مردان به رشد شتابان زنان برای داشتن همه حقوقی که همیشه متعلق به ما بوده است اعتراض کردیم و سرسختانه بر ضعیف بودن و کمتر بودن قابلیت‌های ذاتی زنان اصرار ورزیدیم. برای همین تصمیم گرفتیم یا بیشتر به مذهب پناه ببریم، یا به رفتن به درون طبیعت و گذراندن اوقات زیاد با مردانی که قدر شکار و ماهیگیری و ورزش را می‌دانند خود را تسکین دهیم>>>

Continuing on with my ongoing "encouragement" of NIAC to switch gears and for a change focus on the other side, namely the government of Iran, instead of just hammering at the US (and apparently Israel's lobby in DC)… Yesterday, I received a letter from NIAC. Like all of their letters, I usually look at the end to see if it is a letter, or a pitch for money. This was a pitch, so I looked around to gather up my pennies. I like donating to NIAC, because it makes me feel like Anousheh Ansari>>>

در جمهوری اسلامی تنها افرادی که شبانه به یک مهمانی خصوصی در خمینی‌شهر ریخته و جنایات فجیع جنسی را مرتکب شده‌اند مقصر نبوده‌اند. تقصیر عمده را باید متوجه فرهنگ و قوانینی دانست که سنگ‌های دفاع و دادخواهی زنان ستم‌دیده را بسته‌اند و سگ‌های شهوت و تجاوز و سرکوب جنسی و حلال کردن جان و مال و بدن دگرباشان را رها کرده‌اند. فرهنگ مردسالار جامعه ما سابقه‌ای ریشه‌دارتر از جمهوری اسلامی دارد، ولی این نظام با قوانین زن‌ستیز و ظالمانه خود به تقویت منحط‌ترین و خشن‌ترین عناصر این فرهنگ دست زده و به شدت از آن‌ها حراست می‌کند>>>

The civil rights organization Asian Law Caucus has released its latest guide, The Impact of U.S. Sanctions Against Iran on You, which lays out some of the effects of sanctions on ordinary Iranian Americans and provides guidance for how to navigate the maze of new and existing restrictions. Last year, when Iranian-American Mahmoud Reza Banki was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for facilitating remittances between families in the U.S. and Iran, shockwaves rippled through the Iranian-American community>>>

The passing of Ezatollah Sahabi and the tragic killing of his daughter Haleh sparked a new wave of bewilderment and anger among most Iranians. Ezatollah Sahabi died of old age after much suffering at the hands of the Shah’s regime and the Islamic Republic. Those who watched or heard of the killing of Haleh at the funeral of her father were shocked, heartbroken and angry at the circumstances that led to her death. There was no reason—as if any reason can justify this heinous act>>>

Upon the request of many citizens and his passion for assisting public, Dr. Manoochehr Nikrooz further decided to get involved in socio politics. In 1984, he was therefore chosen as the Jewish lawmaker of Iranian parliament (Majlis) with 99% of the elected votes at the age of 35. He was also relected for a second term as this made him the only Jewish lawmaker ever being elected to Iranian parliament post revolution for total of 8 years with consecutive approval rate of above 95%>>>

How will we know that we have reached the shores of enlightenment? The answer is simple; when the large demonstrations by Muslims turn into protests against miscreants like Ben Laden and Anwar Al Awlaki. When talk of enforcing Sharia law is reserved to a few outcasts without the general support of Muslims. When there is no talk of oppression of women in Muslim countries and women are afforded equal opportunity. When burning a Quran is not worthy of news anymore and Muslims can study the book with a critical eye and without the fear of persecution>>>

The U.S. selfish, arbitrary and heavy-handed policies of support for the puppet regime of Saleh has been at the cost of holding the Yemeni society back from independent and self-reliant development in such vital arenas as its economy, domestic and foreign political direction and relevant institutions and necessary civic society foundations. For many reasons including its long border with Saudi Arabia, Yemen occupies a very special place in the U.S. strategy for easy and convenient access to 41.7% of the world's oil exports from the Persian Gulf>>>

Khamenei could give the green light for the impeachment of the man he once trusted and supported, even more so than previous presidents. But the price of such move could be high: it could lead to a political vacuum and political instability at a time when the public dissatisfaction with the state of the economy and rising prices is palpable. Alternatively, Khamenei could keep Ahmadinejad in power while trying to weaken his presidency, just as he did to his predecessor, Mohammad Khatami>>>

شورای همآهنگی راه سبز امید» (به اختصار: «شه‌رسا») چند هفته‌ای است که خود را به عنوان سخنگو، و در واقع، رهبر و سیاست‌گذار جنبش سبز مطرح کرده است. این شورا نیمه علنی کار می‌کند و اعضای آن شناخته نیستند. البته از افرادی اینجا و آن‌جا به عنوان اعضای این شورا یاد شده است، ولی غالب این افراد عضویت خود را تکذیب کرده‌اند. تنها فرد تأیید شده منتسب به شه‌رسا آقای اردشیر امیرارجمند است>>>

خدا وکیلی، مسجد رفتن مردمان ما پیش از انقلاب بیشتر و با کیفیت¬ تر بود یا حالا؟ مناسبات بازار و کسب روزی حلال در پیش از انقـلاب به انصـاف و درستی متمایـل بود یا اکنـون؟ تجمل¬ گرایی و افراط و اسراف در مصرف، سابقاً بسیار بود یا این روزها؟ دختران فراری و مصرف مشروبات الکلی و روسپی¬ گری در آن سال¬ ها فزونی داشت یا این روزها؟ این سخن جناب آقای مصباح یزدی فراموش نشدنی است که می¬ فرمایند: "زمان شاه، به لحاظ فرهنگی بهتر از امروز بود." شرمنده¬ ام که در اینجا نیز باید نمره¬ ی مردودی را به خودمان بدهیم. انصاف و آمار این را می¬ گویند
