Kaveh Ahangar is perhaps a

by Anonymous4ever (not verified) on

Kaveh Ahangar is perhaps a mythical figure who first appeared in Ferdousi's Shahnameh as the hero who rescued his people from the ruthless ruler in power at his time. Kaveh was such a man who stood up against the tyrant Zahak (known as snake-shouldered). Zahak was the son of Mardas an Arab ruler in Iran. Stories have it that Zahak killed his father in order to earn the kingdom. It was believed that Zahak had a special relationship with the devil. The devil had kissed his shoulders and from each shoulder had grown a snake.

This urges Zahak to seek treatment. This time the devil appears in front of Zahak as a doctor and advises him to drink the blood of young Iranians in order to satisfy the needs of the bloodthirsty snakes. One night Zahak dreams that three men came to his palace and killed him. He wakes up in terror and calls upon the dream interpreter whom in turn tells him that a man with a name of Fereydoon will come and take his kingdom away. Hence Zahak sends for Fereydoon to be discovered and destroyed. Fereydoon's mother, Faranak, hears the command and takes fereydoon to a village in Larijan in Mazandaran (north of Iran).

Ferdousi further writes that Fereydoon was left to a farmer in Larijan and milked by a cow whose every hair was of a different color. Zahak soon hears of this unusual cow and comes to the North in the seek to find it. Faranak hears of this and takes Fereydoon to an old man who wondered in the mountains to take care of him. Meanwhile Zahak kills the beautiful caw. Once Fereydoon reaches the age of sixteen he leaves in search of his mother. When he found his mother, he was told all that had happened to him.

Fereydoon upon hearing his disturbed life becomes eager to take revenge. As Fereydoon gets closer to approach his revenge he meets Kaveh at a gathering. Kaveh, a working class blacksmith with nothing more than a brave heart & the support of his people, decided to end this vicious cycle & destroy this evil king. With bravery he approached Zahak and demands freedom. He took off his leather apron and puts it on top of a long metal to make a flag out of it. This flag was called the Darafsh the flag of freedom that sentenced the guilty monarch to life in the mountains.

It is written that Kaveh, Fereydoon and his two brothers,(Kianoosh and Shadkam), united the people and went to a war with Zahak. Meanwhile Zahak flees to India while his army was fighting with Fereydoon. Fereydoon conquers Zahak's army and after he decides to finish the unfinished business and find Zahak. After finding Zahak, Fereydoon takes him to the Albourz Mountains, located in North of Iran, and prisons him in a cave. The day that Fereydoon destroyed Zahak and his kingdom may also be the day that the Persians celebrate the Mehregan Festival. A day that good destroys evil. Some historians believe the story originated during the Medes kingdom in western Iran & Zahak was in fact the unpopular king Astyages.

Kaveh's flag was later on famous as Darafsh and it was customary in the ancient Persia that every king would add a jewlery to the darafsh. When Arab Muslims invaded Iran, the darafsh was seized in a bloody battle fought around Nahavand (a city with the same name in today's Hamadan province in the mid-western Iran) and taken, among many other war spoils. The Arabs burned the flag and used the valuable items. In todays Iranian political narrative Zahak stands for Islamic Republic of Iran.

He was one of us!

by x-pasdar (not verified) on

The point that all of you are trying to deny, with no success, is that Ayatollah Khomeini didn't come from a foreign country. He was born and brought up right in the heart of IRAN!! otherwise known as Khomein. He was one of us and will always be one of us. Most of you hate him because you see a reflection of your own self in him. Let's face it folks. Khomeini, Shah, Khatami, Rafsanjani and Ahmadinejad are ALL Iranians. So deal with it.

Life's lessons!

by Ol' timer (not verified) on

I remember there was a celebration of sorts by The Islamic Students Club on our college campus here in the U.S. With Khomeini's promised utopia dancing in their heads, many returned home. But, instead, they soon found Iraqi missiles and bullets flying around. Now one of them rehabilitated Mullah boys lives with his American wife in Iowa.

Az mast ke bar mast!

by Kamangir on

Next time the British and the French and others all together put a jackass, iliterate on a plane and send it to your country, please think twise (at least twise) before receiving him  as your savior.

At least be aware that he's being 'sent' in by others, as he himself could bearely ride a dunkey much less run a country. Next time, the fellow they send to you, speaks a language strange to you, uses words you cannot understand or pronounce (words such as mostazafin, mostasafin??) next time these things happen, please, in the name of decency 'think' before not going to work, before damaging public property, before chanting: independance and freedom under the Islamic regime.  Please don't be fooled by promises of free gas, oli, sugar or bread, or else you'll end up working three jobs to make ends meet or if worse comes to worse you may end up begging for refugee status here and there....

Next time, please 'think' with your heads and not with your shekam or zire shekam. That would be very much appreciated by future generations. Believe me.

Regards

Iranians be aware

by Alert (not verified) on

Khomeini used his populism to create facist Islamic-chalifeh-mafia clientelism clan system with Iranian wealth (80% ownership of State), and now clans are marching toward the most savage militarization of the government not comparable to their last 30 years of their brutal ruling against Iranians.

A disease like pest

by Azarin Sadegh on

I always consider him a disease like cholera or pest, or an injury that didn’t kill me (as I got lucky unlike so many others who didn’t).

  Fortunately today, the pest is vanished. The wound is turned to an old scar and the world has learned about the true darkness and cruelty of this never-learned-how-to-be-a-human-being dead criminal. 

But he remains the main reason why I am living here, in exile.  

No wonder I don’t need a reminder about such a black day of my personal history. I am supposed to heal the old wounds (not tear them open), or to treat diseases capable of squeezing the juice of life out of me (not rushing to expose myself to its dangerous filth). 

So I wouldn’t watch. I wouldn’t listen. I wouldn’t really care.

Hitler too was loved by

by jamshid on

Hitler too was loved by Germans. Khomeini fooled everyone, except a very few. That temporary popularity was based soley on his ideology of lies and deceptions which he fed to the people.

The majority of those who "greeted" khomeini in those days, today would first rough him up and then hang him.

I agree that he should be tried for both the crimes he committed and his sewer ideology, even after his death. He was the kind of man you wish you could bring back to life in order to punish him. That's how evil this man was.

by To: Maryam Kommando (not verified) on

Maryam Kommondo: You're either a retard or are feigning ignorance. Millions of people were deceived by a monster as Hitler did Germany and took Germans on a self-destructive path. The same fate awaits Iran, if morons like you continue to do the bidding of evil.

P.S. post·hu·mous= Occurring or continuing after one's death: a posthumous award or a trial

The quality of education in Iran has drastically gone down the tube....what a tragedy. If those who run the IRI as retarded as you are then you people are doomed and will self-destruct on your own.

Propoganda? I think that video is just showing you the history? Does it upset you or something to see millions greeting him and kicking out the real traitor Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. I find it really funny that everytime a historical video is shown these Shahees get all upset. Because history makes them look bad.

Khomeini should be tried

by To: Maryam Kommando (not verified) on

Khomeini should be tried postumously in an international court for Crimes Against Humanity and treason for selling the country to Islam and Soviet Union. Your porpaganda outfit is so vile and ridiculous, Maryam Kommando...
