On the first weekend of August, 2011, volunteers and staff who served in Iran reunited in Portland, OR after 35-49 years. This was only the second time since the Peace Corps program in Iran ended- and in honor of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the American Peace Corps by President Kennedy in 1961. They joined friends and family on the campus of Portland State University for a weekend to "Reconnect, Reminisce and Revitalize>>>

فوتبال بازى بچه ها حال يک آيت الله، يک قاضى بازنشسته، يک تاجر بازار، يک سرگرد ارتش و همسايه يهودى ديوار به ديوار ما را بشدت گرفت و همه را عليه اين تفريح مزاحم برانگيخت. همسايه هاى عاصى همه بخوبى ميدانستند که منشا فساد کيست و طى شکايات مکرر مراتب عدم رضايت و ناخرسندى شديد خود را به اطلاع بابا و مامان رسانده بودند. از همه همسايه ها دلخورتر بيوک آقا همسايه ته کوچه بود>>>

The presumption that the MEK would transform itself into a “moderate” political group if delisted is flawed. The MEK did not become “radical” as a result of being “listed” as a terrorist organization in 1997. It was an extremist group way before that date. What fuels its radicalism and taste for terrorism is not how it is termed by the State Department or the nature of its relationship with the U.S, but its fanatical ideology, pugnacious discourse, undemocratic structure, leadership, mission and agenda>>>

سلطنت پهلوی و حکومت اسلامی با نفی آزادیهای سیاسی مانع رشد سیاسی، گسترش سازمانهای مدنی و در نتیجه باروری و خلاقیت اجتماعی و سیاسی گردیده اند. تک صدایی در نظام ولایت فقیه با شعار حزب فقط حزب الله و در دوران محمد رضا شاه با شعار حزب فقط حزب رستاخیر به جامعه تحمیل گردید. در چنین فضاهایی قدرت مطلقه پادشاه یا ولی فقیه حق تعیین سرنوشت ملت را نفی میکند

A few years, before Zahra Noorbakhsh moved to the New York stage, her grandma didn’t want to shake hands with me. At the time, Zahra was an undergrad literature major at Berkeley and may have thought it was about time her conservative Muslim grandmother met her real-life friends. After so many years in the U.S., I had forgotten that when you greet a chadored Iranian woman of grandma’s generation, proper etiquette is to look down at your feet as you say your salaam. Then if it turns out she’s not ultra-conservative, she’ll let you know>>>

DELISTING?

Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) has been launching relentless attacks against the National Iranian American Council (NIAC). The immediate reason is the Iranian-American campaign spearheaded by NIAC to keep the MEK on the U.S.'s terrorist list. NIAC and others have launched this campaign because delisting the MEK would unleash a major force for a U.S.-Iran war, undermine the peaceful pro-democracy movement in Iran while empowering anti-democratic hardliners, and put the free voices of the Iranian-American community under threat>>>

انتشار یک ویژه‌نامه حجیم به عنوان ضمیمه روزنامه دولتی ایران در این هفته سرآغاز موج جدیدی از کشمکش و اختلاف در میان اصولگرایان حاکم شده است. موضوع این ویژه‌نامه که تحت عنوان «خاتون» نشر یافته، زن و حجاب است. کمتر روزی است که این وکیل یا آن وزیر یا مقام روحانی یا پلیس یا فلان «کارشناس» در این باره داد سخن ندهند. ولی اختصاص نشریه‌ای به قطر بیش از 250 صفحه به این موضوع از ناحیه یک جناح حکومتی بی‌سابقه است>>>

On the anniversary of the August 19, 1953, coup, which is forever etched in our memory, what better way than to remember Iran’s democratic leader by reading an account filled with anecdotes of his personal and political life as told to his lawyer, Jalil Bozorgmerh in a book called "Taqrirat-e Mosaddeq dar Zendan" (Mosaddeq’s Prison Notes) compiled by J. Bozorgmehr and edited by the late great Iranologist, Dr. Iraj Afshar. I have taken the liberty of selecting and translating passages from the book>>>

Delisting the MEK might indeed be a step in the right direction. Iranian patriotism has suffered for the fact that a group among them has been on the terrorist list of the US, a nation which many of them cherish. The MEK in the past was the most anti-American of all Iranian groups. US delisting the MEK is then a step toward normalizing relations between Americans and Iranians. The Iranian people will welcome any moderating influence on the MEK, which has been a source of extremism, violence and fear in a nation that is longing for peace and reconciliation>>>
