Pictory

To Parham

I read you stuff it's nothing but bunch of blablabla..He saved the country from Toudaie who wanted to donate the country in a cold war time to the Communist Russia and remember he was BRAINLESS and uneducated. AND what have you and people like you done for the country Mr: sound sophisticated and western educated and Politically correct?

and by the way

God just called. He said there's no fucking way in hell he's gonna bless that Jafari dude's soul. He even said "over my dead body". Happy now?

Tell me about their culture...

I've been suffering from "their" culture for the past 29 years and for another 26 before that, too. :-)

A whopper

483 pages on Shaban Beemokh? How facinating can the life of one low-life thug of regime of coupe de'eta be? Here is one of the most shamless, despicable characters in modern Iranian history. Haven't read it so perhaps it's some kind of recent history of Iran through the prism of Mr. Beemokh's life but man, 483 pages?

To A simple man

First, there are a lot of people who "love" their country but love mixed with ignorance and one's own interests, is far more damaging than hatred. A clear example are the many Iranians who campaign for a military invasion and economic sanctions against Iran in order to "save" it! This is called "doostiyeh khalieh kherseh".

Secondly, very rare are those who consciously commit an act of evil and have no moral justification for it. I am sure Mr.Jaffari had this own justifications, but that doesn't mean that we should accept them.

Thirdly, knowing people at a personal level always creates sympathy towards them. But one can not judge historical figures based on personal relationships.

Whether he was a nice man or not, a good Muslim or not, historical facts show that Mr Jaffari hurt a lot of people through his actions. And unless new facts are revealed about his role in the coup of 1953 which would clear his name of many accusations, history will continue to judge him in a harsh way. As for his soul, that God's business not anyone else.

To Parham

All you noticed was Henri Corbin and that impressed you. Obviously you are blind as to what zourkhaneh and their culture bring to us. And I don't think god has given you the power of attorney to declare who he is going to bless or not. Shaban Jaffari probably did more good for Iran than you will ever do.

To Parham

I feel sorry for people like you that they don't even wish the bless for the decease. Why don't you enjoy the regime and destroy bahie's graves if you can't even bless some one's soul.

To People who don't know him

I Know Mr: Djafari well enough to make strong comments about his innocence and being a good person. When i was growing in Iran all i heard about Mr;Shaban Djafari was negative and bad news until i met him in Los Angeles and we became good friends. i start getting to know him. I asked him many question about his life. i was fascinated by his stories. Now i know that this man truly loved his country. He never miss his morning ritual. He never drank alcohol in his life, even Tayabe Laate and mofkhor praised him as a good muslim. There is more good things about him that people don't know but personally i am honored to know him as my friend. God bless his soul.

Beemokho vel kon, Bamokho bechasb

Actually, what was more interesting in that video was the presence of Henry Corbin, who was an expert on Eastern religions, but also one of the utmost western authorities on Iranian culture. He probably knew more about Iran than many of us combined. They don't make them like that no more!

And to the person who wished that God bless Beemokh's soul: I seriously doubt that will happen! Really...

Shaban bimokh received money

Shaban bimokh received money from foreigners to do what he did based on a documentary.
Binamoos people like that should burn in hell.
when saddam attacked MKO helped him. When Omar attacked some jerk helped him.
binammose khaen engaar kah hamisheh hast.

God bless his soul

May god bless his soul for reviving our national sport. Most of us just see him in 1953 and not his life as a Pahlavan. Whether wee like it or not, the man kept this sport alive.

An Irony Shaban died exactly on the anniversary of the 53 Coup

Post Mortem Revenge ?

Shaban Jafari known as Shaban Beemok after the Coup of 1953 against Dr. Mohamed Mossadeg became known for his support for the Shah and the riots spearheaded against the elected government of the time. Ironically he died precisely 53 years after on the same date of the Coup 28th of Mordad in LA/USA.

Homa Sarshar Bio on Shaban Beemokh

In the 483-page "Shaban Jafari" (2002, Naab Publishers, Beverly Hills), writer Homa Sarshar has shed much light on the man behind the myth. The book is based on an extensive interview with Jafari, who lived mostly in Los Angeles after the 1979 revolution. It also includes dozens of exclusive photographs.
