Persian Realm

LOL

LOL, not only you are intellectually immature, your angry and uncivilized rant conveys a high degree of emotional immaturity. It is certainly a waste of time reasoning with you. GFYS

religionoutofgovernment You need to spend some time

away from IC since posting meaningless comments serves no one and more time reading to grow your understanding of what you are discussing will benefit you.  If using some training wheels helps, where you can get case and point time after time as to why Milani is intellectually beneathe lame and totally biased go read some reviews to help yourself.  Comments like, "It is interesting how everyone thinks Milani is biased but against their point of view." is embarrassing which is such a shame, as you can read, write and think for yourself.Answering your posts takes too long and its really work that you need to do for yourself.

Start here and look for others that do case and point anlysis of his work this one has both farsi & english translations, this one has full detailed analysis.

The Shah's support for Masjeds and Akhounds

Dariush Homayoun corroborates Milani, in addition to numerous others. I will not embed the video to respect Darius' wish. Watch the video entitled: Iran Last Interview with Dariush Homayoun on Youtube.

And enjoy your much needed "rest" :))

As usual

As usual, character assassination instead of providing proof. I suggest you provide specific examples of why you think he is biased and lets debate that issue.

Anglophile's First bias accusation: "Milani's leftist narrative " and "Milani cannot totally break from his leftist past"

Anglophiles second bias accusation: "  chair at Stanford (Christian and Hamid Mosghadam) not to mention the fellowship of the Hoover Institute are not consider as belonging to any particular camp?"

From Stanford University of Hamid Moghaddam Chair: " The Hamid and Christina Moghadam Program in Iranian Studies fosters the interdisciplinary study of Iran as a civilization. Each academic year, the Program offers undergraduate courses related to Iran in such disciplines as language, literature, economics, and political science. It provides a wealth of events for scholars, students and the general public, which include conferences, symposia, forums, lectures and performances."

From the mission statement of Hoover Institution fro their website: ""This Institution supports the Constitution of the United States, its Bill of Rights and its method ofrepresentative government. Both our social and economic systems are based on private enterprisefrom which springs initiative and ingenuity.... 

So lets summarize: According to Anglophile Mr. Milani has a leftist bias but at the same time is also biased because he is affiliation with an institution that supports private enterprise!!

I rest my case. 

"he is included in no particular camp"?!!

Abbas Milani

It is interesting how everyone thinks Milani is biased but against their point of view. He is biased against the right, the communists, The Shahis, and the Melliun at the same time!! My view is that any unbiased view of history will indeed displease everyone! This of course doesn't mean Milani is unbiased, but being unbiased may be impossible to achieve as Milani himself has said in the past.

I have read Milani's books. I DO NOT see any left wing bias at all. If anything he may be accused of a PRO-US bias, rightly or wrongly. He sees US as a proponent of democracy in Iran since 1941, except for the Nixon administration. He feels Iranians are not fair to the US and its policies. This is hardly a leftist point of view. I think those like Anglophile have only heard about Milani's previous left wing views and without reading his books are making incorrect assumption.

 I like reading Milani's books very much. The fact that all sides accuse him of being biased, and that he is included in no particular camp, gives him more credibility in my mind.

Last but not least, I want to thank Darius for his posts. Whether I agree or disagree with you, you provide a point of view that needs to be discussed. You present your point of view in a civilized manner with a lot of class.
