Iranian of the Day

As many of you know I'm Jewish, and I don't find Paolo's

comment to be anti-semitic.  He is simply making a correct historical assertion, that the vast majority of patriarchal sexual mores, both in permissiveness (pedophilia, polygamy, etc.) and punishments (stonings, etc.) which are found in the Islamic writings come from the Old Testament.  What may possibly make it sound anti-semitiic is his juxtaposition of this incontrovertible fact with the postulate of "civilized" modernity.  But that was just an accident of the way the language came out, he didn't mean it that way.  After all no one has the time to agonize for three hours over writing these short posts, so you have to remember that when you read them.  In any case, this juxtaposition with modernity opens up a different discussion and all I'll say about it for now is: who invented the atom bomb?  And as for pedophilia, per se, what do frustrated middle-class men throughout the "West" do for a good vacation but go to bang-cock. Well as long as they do it in Asia, it's okay....they're still civilized as long as it doesn't happen to white girls in Duesseldorf.

Civilization and its discontents.

Paedophilia must be scrutinized.  It is a NORMAL biological  urge that is simply inconsonant with the secular Enlightenment.  To deny the normalcy of the urge will make it impossible for it to be defeated. It will only be deferred to bank-cock, thighland. Disneyland of teenage AIDS.

Good to see you Kaveh. I always look forward to your writings.

Paolo.....

Maybe according to Islamic or perhaps Jewish law it is normal to fancy or have sex with under age child, but among the civilized nations it is considered as illegal and an act of Paedophilia!

Paolo, it is absolutely correct that sex with a child is illegal. Not only among civilized nations, but civilized people as well.

However, it is highly offensive (not to mention grossly incorrect) to suggest that either Islamic or Jewish law advocates, condones, accepts, endorses or encourages such behavior. There is nothing in any of the scriptures to suggest that pedophilia is acceptable.

The fact is that life expectancy during that period was a fraction of what it is now, therefore it was common for people to be married and with children in their teens. There are mental midgets (of all so-called faiths) who have twisted this for their own sick purposes.

Apparently you see the name "Yaghoub Kohan" and assume that his comments and thoughts are based upon Jewish law. Based upon that logic, are we to assume that you reek of olive oil and are involved in organized crime?

This "Yaghoub Kohan is an idiot and has shown all of cyberspace. All your comment has managed to do is paint you as an anti-Jewish, anti-Moslem idiot.

Ciao

Re: Paolo don't be anti-semetic

First, if you wish to pretend that you are Jewish and offended by my comments - next time choose a name that you can spell! It is Isaac and not Issac :) Also I believe you are the same person who gave perverted comments under the name of Yaghub Kohan!

Second, for the fun of it, I will reply to your comment – you’ll find it to be educational. What is “anti-Semitic” as you claim?  If you are you referring to Jews, well majority of Jews are of non Semitic origins! Ashkenazi-Jews are Slavonic people (Khazarites), who converted to Judaism by force in 7th century (contrary to Jewish laws!)!! And as far as Muslims concerns, majority of them are also are of not Semitic origins, for instance Iranians are indo-Europeans! In any case I didn’t mention any of the “Semitic peoples” (e.g. Assyrians, or Babylonians, Aramaean, Arabs or Sephardim also known as the "Real Hebrews") in my post, to be considered as anti-Semitic!!

Maybe you wanted to say, Paolo don’t be “anti-Semitic religions”, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam! Well conveying facts have never considered to be anti- anything!

Paolo don't be anti-semetic

Paolo don't be anti-semetic

!!!!!Big Belly??!!!!!!

Any one who thinks a normal 39 year old woman who has given birth to 3 kids should have a belly flat like a fish should wake up.
This whole thing is crazy.

To Yaghub Kohan, are you a paedophile?

Yaghub Kohan, are you a paedophile, fancying an under age child, i.e. Noor?

Maybe according to Islamic or perhaps Jewish law it is normal to fancy or have sex with under age child, but among the civilized nations it is considered as illegal and an act of Paedophilia!

In addition, what is wrong with a man takes his family for swimming? Either you are a backward-fanatic, who keeps his wife/wives under the black shroud, hiding her in the backroom next to the camel; or just a sick minded pervert!

Perverts like YK, should remember “what goes around, comes around” – i.e. there is always someone out there, who gives the same comment about his wife and children!

Regarding sex with a Pahlavi

I would not have sex with Reza's wife. I would have "naughty" sex with the daughter. I am into "noor". That is an arabic name meaning "sun light". Reza, Noor, Iman... all Arab names. What gives? I thought this was the former prince Iran (or as they call it in L.A., "Persia". I just don't get it. The movie "300" showed that the ancient Persians were barbarians. And the Pahlavi's have been condemned by all objective history textbooks as evil dictators. And the Islamic Republic, even though it has elections is a theocracy. Face it, Iranian history sucks balls big time.

I have visited tehran. It has a lot of smog. It is an advanced city. They have internet coffee shops and a subway. Sean Penn has visited there many times. A lot of Americans visit each year. They get visas thru travel agents. And Iranians visit. All types of Iranians, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Bahai, and Zoroastrian.

I asked a 25 year old Iranian in Tehran what he thinks about Reza Pahlavi, the 25 year old said, "You mean the American?".

The Iranians by far believe only the Iranians living in Iran are Iranians. They call everyone else a "Mohajer be kharej" (A person who has left the country for a foreign land).

I think people who in any shape of form should understand the fact.

In 70 million people, hardly anyone knows who the Pahlavis were.

Few remember Khomeini.

The cult of personality has ended in Iran.

People are busy eating Chelo Kabobs and working.

A lot of People in Iran have bank account in the UAE.

Many Iranian Pop singers in L.A. have told me the Iranian revolutionary Guards control Dubai.

And no one really cares. As long as they have there Mercedes and their Rolex they are happy.

Face it, the Pahlavis don't exist anymore in Iran.

The Niavaran Palace where they used to reside is a museum. Elementary school children go to that palace and laugh at the Pahlavis. I have seen this with my own eyes.

Anatomy

I know you guys are all focused on the pahlavi khomeini thing, but seriously speaking. the dude's wife has a nice rack!

People were Prosperous

The difference in the Pahlavis and the Rafsanjanis is very clear. The Rafsanjanis stole money and left the people poor. the Pahlavis stole money and allowed the people to prosper. For what you pay now for a nice dinner out for two in Tehran, you could have bought a brand new Peykan in 1978. That's all you need to know about the difference between Rafsanjani and Pahlavi.

Still No Logic

A cat was asked who his alibi was, he said "my tail".

Pathetic are those who attack others without any reason, those who helped overthrow a nationalist regime, those who marched after an imported mulla, then run away, and still do not admit to their mistakes, the best indication of their "pathetic" lack of education and courage.

Pathetic are those who attack a family on a pool side who has committed NO crime, the same people who attack other iranians, be them jews or bahais, on yet other threads, those who think they have all the answers only if shah had given THEM the rule of the country. Pathetic are those who "live in the past", and not 30 years ago but 1400 years ago, and are so "delusional" that think they are always right even without presenting any proof.

The last Pahlavi King According to Microsoft Encarta

What does microsoft Encarta say about Mohammad Reza Pahlavi?

Is Bill Gates, a former Harvard student, and the richest man in the world also wrong?

I will probably see someone write that Bill Gates has some agenda.

Be serious. Face the facts.

Downfall

By the mid-1970s the shah reigned amidst widespread discontent caused by the continuing repressiveness of his regime, socioeconomic changes that benefited some classes at the expense of others, and the increasing gap between the ruling elite and the disaffected populace. Islamic leaders, particularly the exiled cleric Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, were able to focus this discontent with a populist ideology tied to Islamic principles and calls for the overthrow of the shah. The shah’s government collapsed following widespread uprisings in 1978 and 1979. His regime was succeeded by an Islamic government under Khomeini (see Islamic Revolution of Iran).

Beset by advanced cancer, the shah left Iran in January 1979 to begin a life in exile, searching for a safe refuge and reliable and adequate medical care. His admittance into the United States later that year fanned anti-American sentiment in Iran, and in November 1979 a group of Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehrān and took 66 Americans hostage. The shah died in Cairo, Egypt.

*** you never make any sense

John Carpenter: You are 100% right...

Those pathetic people that are arguing against you, are holding onto a thread of their pathetic past lives and live in the past, and choose not to live in the future. In other words REALITY. I am ASHAMED to be IRANIAN with people like these posting this NEOCON HAS BEEN as "Iranian of the day". AS SOMEONE JUST WROTE: MOVE *** ON!!! Keep on writing! I hope none of these delusional people deter you from writing the truth.

haha well said sowhat!

it is truly sad seeing this under "Iranian of the day." IT'S PATHETIC AND EMBARRASSING! MOVE ON PEOPLE, MOVE THE F*** ON!

To John Carpenter.........

Face it.

All my stuff is historical. 

No, John. Your stuff is hysterical. Not historical.

My relatives have helped rule Iran for many centuries.

Which relatives?

Karen Carpenter? Richard Carpenter? Charisma Carpenter?

Douchebag.

ماشاالله رو که نیست، سنگ پای قزوینه

فقط دوست دارم بدونم با پول و ثروت چه کسانی گردش و صفا می کنند؟ مثلا فرق اینا با خانواده رفسنجانی ها و خامنه ای ها و خلخالی ها چیه؟ هیچی. وجه اشتراکشون چیه؟ یه من رو

Miz-Abdol...

I heard of something like that long time ago, but what puzzles me is that last names were used for the first time only when people were required to get shenas-nameh during reza shah's reign. So unless Mahmoud got that last name before reza shah got to chose his own, this would not make sense.

Wikipedia

One should be very desperate and sourceless to depend on Wikipedia for reliable information. There are so many books on anything these days, and only uneducated make accusations based on Wikipedia.

No matter if one likes or dislikes Pahlavis, it is a fact that per capita income of iran peaked (since records have been kept) to about $2500 in 1978 and hes been diminishing ever since (source Int Data Base). That is not surprising since Ghajars were a bunch of sex and drug addicts and IRI are no more than a bunch of criminal thieves and incompetent fanatics who never really cared for either iran or iranians.

To JOHN CARPENTER, the name Pahlavi and its origin?

John,

About the origin of the last name PAHLAVI, someone should eventually add to Widepdia that the last name was not "invented" by Reza Khan Mir Pnaj.

There was indeed a man who chose that last name at the end of Ahmad Shah era, he called himself Mahmood Pahlavi.

When Reza Khan declared himself a king, he was told and chose that last name and forced Mahmood Pahlavi to give up that last name and from then on he was Mahomood Mahomoodi,and of course he was given some money and faded away in oblivion.

I hope some of the experts in our history that read this to coroborate and add that to Wikepedia.

This by no mean was intended as an insult of any kind to anyone, it was a narration of history.

Thanks

Don't be like John Carpenter or Faribors Maleknasri M.D. to say something unbelievable -- this is not 1979 and you are not the lying khomeni. If you say something, please back it up. But consider this.

(1) Nobody forced you to click to get here to criticize others. You came here by your OWN choice.

(2) He (personally) has not done anything (negative or positive) to deserve being called "dirtbag". Do you like someone who does not really know you call you dirtbag?

(3) Nobody knows how much his family "plundered" from the country. All we know is that IRI looked into all documents related to how much, and decided not to announce the amount that they had plundered. In fact, IRI decided NOT to mention or claim as to how much they plundered anymore; possibly because it was way way less than what IRI had originally claimed that pahlavis plundered -- the original claim was $6 billion.

Johnny has gone mad again...

One minute he is praising Yazdi because he is a good american, another minute he is more iranian that anyone else. That is a sign of imbalance.

Yes, iran had its best days of the past 300 years during pahlavis, whatever they were or were not, did or did not. If you understood logic you would have brought up another period that was as good as counter argument, not the BS about khamenei being in touch with US. Wiki is written by gossipers, the likes of your.

I am beginning to think that you are a child, if not physically, then mentally. As you say non-sense and claim them to be facts. That is not fact. Read your previous post to see how factual they are. If those are facts, then I am the king of Siam by the same logic.

K. Sassanian

What do you see in that tattoo ? Just " WHAT " is it ? 

I am  an Oompaa Loompaa and not as smart as you are, help me and explain what do you see.

Thanks

How nice!

They seem like having fun. They also seem to be a good family. The names of the girls are beautiful. He is such a handsome man. I wish we could see the wife's face. If all of us sitting here, hoping to enjoy our lives and not wanting any hardship, why shouldn't we hope that for everyone and anyone else? I hope they continue to enjoy their lives and may everyone can do the same.

Why the picture?

Why are we exposed to nim-Pahlavi and his family here? What has he done for Iran for someone to think it worthy of his or her time to post this picture for us?

I think of much except for the fortune his family plundered from Iran.

Please, move on from these dirtbags and focus on Iran's present problems.

What you say in just plain wrong

It is interesting that I present fact.
Your statements that, "Wikipedia is wrong"
The "American Media" is wrong.
You are a repeating rumors.
"So what" about Pahlavis private lives?
All these statements point to one conclusion:
You have no valid argument.
You don't accept facts.
You believe you are the only Iranian.
"The Pahlavis were the best thing since 300 years?"
Be serious!
You need to see the doctor you mentioned...
as a matter of fact, since you mentioned it...
you must be the crazy one...to know a crazy doctor.

By the way, I am more Iranian that you are. And the future of Iran is my business.

Your a Loser.
I have proven that on this site.
Sucks to be you.
"Baba, vaaz-et khaylee kharabeh..."

Johnny the Joker has gone Mad

Johnny, did you know that you needed a doctor? All that you say have only one answer: so what and it is none of your business. It is a matter for "Iranians" to discuss and decide, not yours.

There is a doctor Faribors Maleknasri M.D. on this site. See if you two can cure each other in whatever way that suites you.

Go talk to your doctor about your sexual fantasies about pahlavis private lives.

You need help. I am serious. You are not balanced at all. Help yourself before you completely fall off the cliff.

P.S. bad, uneducated, dehati, and green-card holders Pahlavis gave iran the best years of her past 300 years during their reign. You don't get it, do you? You simply don't understand it, do you. You will never comprehend it, will you? You just repeat your none-sense gossip like a parrot without ever learning anything at all.

The Truth HURTS.... Big Time. :)

The Truth Hurts.

Face it.

All my stuff is historical.

My relatives have helped rule Iran for many centuries.

My information is from the darbar. And my present information is from within the IRI.

I can tell you stuff you don't know.

Did you know the Swiss Embassy in Tehran is the "middle-man" for US-Iran relations. Did you know that Seyed Ali Khamenei gets updates from the US thru that same Swiss Embassy. Yes, George W. Bush and Khamenei talk on a regular basis.

From the Iran-Contra Affair to Present the theocracy and the American republic have been the best of friends.

Even in the Persian Gulf, both Navy's are just creating a "smoke screen".

get a life john carpenter

you either suffer from mental issues or you have seen holloween movie produced by real john carpenter too many times. who cares what wikepedia says and who cares if his first name is arabic? I bet yours is asghar, akbar, mamad what ever. it takes one to know one. you know what if you have nothing interesting to say, just buzz off and find some thing constructive to do in life.

The lady with the Big Belly

The lady with the big belly is Reza Pahlavi's wife. Some lady named Yasmine.

According to Wikipedia info about Reza Pahlavi:

In 1978, Pahlavi moved to the United States to complete his higher education. He was trained as a jet fighter pilot at Reese Air Force Base in Lubbock, Texas, and attended Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, before graduating with a degree in political science from the University of Southern California. He has not returned to Iran since the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

After the revolution, Reza Pahlavi lived in exile in Morocco and Egypt until 1984, when he settled in the United States.

He lives in Potomac, Maryland, with his wife, the former Yasmine Etemad Amini, and their three daughters: Princess Noor, (born April 3, 1992) Princess Iman, (born September 12, 1993), and Princess Farah (born January 17, 2004).

To see the whole article go to:
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reza_Pahlavi

By the way, Reza Pahlavi is a Permanent Resident in the United States, he has a "green card". Reza Pahlavi said this to Geraldo Rivera in an interview on television.

Reza Pahlavi claims to be Iranian but, in reality he is a "green card" holding, maryland resident, with a funny Arabic first name. And that Pahlavi last name is just 3 generations old. His grand father Reza Khan made up that last name in the 1920s.

Reza Khan was from some village in Mazandaran. He was uneducated and was a low level Iranian soldier for the Qajar kings. He was installed by the British and then removed by the British.

Afterwards, Mohammad Reza was installed. In 1979, the west told Mohammad Reza to take a "hike". Mohammad Reza moved to Egypt and died of cancer in 1980.
