Tehran - Iran's Culture Ministry has ordered the censoring of one of the most famous epic love stories in Persian literature more than eight centuries after it first appeared, the news agency Mehr reported Monday.
Khosrow and Shirin was written by Nezami Ganjavi in 1177, published in 1180 and has been part of Persian literature ever since.

Love is haram in islam, such a pity
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Tue Aug 16, 2011 08:25 PM PDTraping is okay especially for religous people
lying is okay especially for religous people
stealing is okay especially for religous people
love is forbidden for all.
What a system of thought.
Does this also mean

MM, that was hilarious
by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:33 AM PDTWhat is up with these akhoonds ? Where do they get these stuff? Does any one actually listen to these morons ?
OK now ... Is it love making or light making ? .... Although, I should say that THE light could have been used as Powered light battle armor during Jedi Civil War ... LOL
Anahid - you are right
by MM on Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:32 AM PDTMay be IRI should ban more Persian classics?
Dear MM, this will have the opposite effect
by Anahid Hojjati on Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:30 AM PDTMany people who did not care to read Khosrow Va Shirin, now will become curious to read it. Reminds me of the time that we were in Junior high in Shah's time. Students started small library and there were a list of banned books. Those banned books are the ones many became interested in and got their hands on somehow and read.
IRI will be just as
by MM on Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:22 AM PDTIRI will be just as successfull at blocking this story as they were in blocking the short-wave radios, the VCRs, the DVDs, the internet and the satellite dishes. However, here is one love story they may approve:

SK jan, what a beautiful passage from Nezami
by Anahid Hojjati on Tue Aug 16, 2011 10:09 AM PDT"bud still closed and hidden holds the promise of a blossoming rose." Nezami
Simply gorgeous.
Anahid
by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Aug 16, 2011 09:52 AM PDTNezami may have well said this for what his poetry are facing in today's Iran.....
'do not look at the sower casting seed, but remember what will grow from it. if today thorns block your way, tomorrow you will harvest dates, and the bud still closed and hidden holds the promise of a blossoming rose." Nezami
I also agree with what faramrz mentioned:
" It is always darkest before the dawn. "
IRI's logic and reasoning is getting worse and worse or I should better say darker and darker .....
what a shame
by Anahid Hojjati on Tue Aug 16, 2011 09:18 AM PDTwhen they don"t get that they don't own people, that is when problems arise. bayd kharfahmeshoon kard een adamhaye oghdee va ab usive ra. they are not our bosses. when do they get rthis? their intelligence is low.
They want to change this ... LOL
by Soosan Khanoom on Tue Aug 16, 2011 09:14 AM PDT"going somewhere where we can be alone,' and 'holding hands.'
unlike what they have done to Hafez .....I guess when it comes to Nezami they can not interpret his sensual writings to be spiritual
Although I should say that sufi mystic were able to ruin some Nezami's sensual poetry as well .... and turn Nezami's Laylee and majnun story to an spiritual event ...
WHAT A SHAME
What part of sensaul love they do not get? Why do they have so much trouble understanding the word "MAKING LOVE"?
One more good reason to fight the ignorance both in our culture and in our religion... no matter done by whom .
