I have never heard of American Global University, but the fact that they would take back their honorary degree because Mirfetroos is proposing such criminal/insane idea, is very refreshing. I particularly like the proposed deadline for returning degree.
It is great to see even an unknown institution, would not want to be associated with these dumb/warmongering ideas.
Congratulations to all supporters of Mirfetroos, (I think there are few on this site).

According to the letter submitted by this institution:
One needs to understand that the granting of an honorary degree is based upon the grantee’s honorable and deserving qualifications. One of these, as stipulated in American Global University‘s (AGU) Honorary Degree Granting Policy, category I, is the grantee’s devoting himself or herself to humanitarianism and striving toward the goal of establishing peace throughout the world. However, shamefully and disappointingly, you wrote an outlandish letter to Senator Lindsey Graham announcing your agreement with a military attack by the world powers, including the United States upon your own Fatherland, Iran. In your letter, you unjustifiably advocate bringing down the Mullahs’ Regime by military force instead of asking Senator Graham to support the Iranian people to revolt in order to topple the Regime. By doing so, you have potentially unleashed a monster in the form of global economic and political disorder, not to mention the many Iranian and American lives that would be lost. However, I’m confident that unfortunately, arms sellers on both sides would benefit from such a conflict.
Mr. Mirfetros, being a good writer does not make you a good human being. Adolf Hitler was a good artist, but he will only be remembered because of his hideous crimes against humanity. Mr. Mirfetros, you and your loved ones are living under the security umbrella of France, a civilized and powerful country. Therefore, you have the luxury of feeling secure about your family and yourself. However, it would appear from your letter that you do not care about millions of innocent and defenseless Iranian men, women, and children who would suffer the unspeakable horrors of a war initiated by the world powers who would use their military might in obliterating much of Iran’s population, together with the precious few comforts and possessions that they have.
Lastly, your encouragement of a military attack on Iran is so preposterous that you do not deserve to keep the honorary doctorate that was heretofore granted to you by AGU. Therefore, your honorary doctorate is hereby revoked effective as of the date of this revocation email to you. Be forewarned that henceforth affixing, signing, or printing your name by any means and in any manner with Dr. and/or introducing yourself as Doctor in any manner based on the AGU honorary degree is both a legal and moral violation of the university’s rights. In this eventuality, legal action will be taken, including attorney and court fees.
You must return the honorary degree to AGU no later than December ۱۵, ۲۰۱۱, otherwise the revocation will be published in educational periodicals, in at least one local newspaper in your city, and also on AGU‘s website.
Dr. A. Samadani, Ph.D., President
American Global University

Whoever posted this forged article failed to at least
by Anonymous Observer on Wed Nov 23, 2011 03:38 PM PSTgo to AGU's website and get the correct name for its preisdent. The guy's name is Sam Samadani, so the "A" initial is bogus, just like the article itself:
//www.americanglobalu.edu/Welcome.htm
I wouldn't be surprised that the article was forged by one of our resident IR worshipping "peace lovers" whose peace loving doesn't allow them to criticze IR's brutality against its own people for the past 32 years.
And for someone to pick up this BS and blog about it--well, let's just say that it's a bit fishy. Doesn't pass the smell test, if you know what I mean. Incientally, Aynak, since you blogged this piece, I believe that the onus is on you to contact Mr. Samadani and ask him whether or not he wrote the article, and then share his response with the rest of us. If he says that he didn't write it, you should then delete this blog and write an apology to Mr. Mirfertoos. That's how accountability, responsibility and accuracy work in a democratic society.
Will look forward to the results of your investigation.
doctorate or not
by Fesenjoon2 on Wed Nov 23, 2011 04:10 PM PSTIran must still be bombed back to the stone age so its god fearing people can pray in caves like mohamed did. LOL
Stupid
by Elham57 on Wed Nov 23, 2011 03:27 PM PSTBogus.
No such university.
No honorary degree.
No stripping.
Just a dumb attempt to attack someone's credibility, and you all fell for it.
I wouth rather read this, than this.
Why is this featured?
I am losing respect for IC.
Cheap.
Stupid.
Waste of time.
BOGUS
by Maziari on Wed Nov 23, 2011 02:56 PM PSTThis is a BOGUS article. Iran is OCCUPIED by the Islamist Regime (IR) of Tyranny, Lies and Corruption. Therefore, war with IRAN is meaningless. War with IR is not the same as war with Iran.
It is much more preferable for Iranians to FIGHT IR in order to FREE IRAN. We (Iranians) are running out of time to Free Iran. If we don't start to fight IR very soon, we shall only have OURSELVES to blame when Iran becomes the arena for a an all out war between many nations and IR.

OTOH, this is so typically Iranian. Meaningless university gives honorary title to meaningless person, which it then strips away because of difference of opinion between the honoree and the honorer! Hah!

by Faramarz on Wed Nov 23, 2011 01:27 PM PSTIf you want to see a "Stripping" on Monday, make sure to bring all your Shillings and Pences or whatever you guys use for currency over there!
Aynak - thanks for the info
by MM on Wed Nov 23, 2011 01:11 PM PSTI had never heard of AGU.
I did a search on accredited on-line universities, and while I had heard of some of them like the Univ of Phoenix or Kaplan Univ., I would not give a hoot about some of the other accredited ones like the Liberty Univ.
Perperizi. I'm looking forward to that
by Tiger Lily on Wed Nov 23, 2011 12:55 PM PSTCan't wait for the 'stripping' bit on Monday.
P.S. Thanks, Bavafa.
Well don't forget folks
by aynak on Wed Nov 23, 2011 11:21 AM PSTI spoke to a few of "Dr.Mirfetroos's" sidekicks, and they inisit he has a Doctorate from Sorbonne. As is the case from any honorable Dr.Wannabe, like Kordan (bless his soul), Dr.AhmadiNejad, .... Dr Mohsen Rezai, ..... Dr Mirfetroos, ....
The Doctorate is used as a tool to create illusion of credibility ;)
I particularly found the piece about his entire family residing in Paris very interesting. Gives the expresion below , an entire new dimension:
دیگی که برای من نمی جوشه، سر سگ توش باشه.
مدرک کیلویی!

This institution of higher learning has Golaabi written all over it!
I am going to get my post-doc over the Thanksgiving weekend.
Gobble.. Gobble...Golaabi..
What is an
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:52 AM PSThonorary degree anyway? You got to earn your degree and no one may take it away. If someone gives it to you with no work it have no value.
Should any one be surprised by this.....
by Bavafa on Wed Nov 23, 2011 10:32 AM PSTor the fact that he got one to start with?
And a great comment by TL, LOL indeed.
