A car accident left the scrappy young mutt paralyzed in the back legs, lying on a road’s edge outside of Tehran. Kind strangers loaded the gravely wounded dog into their car, fed him then transported him to the VAFA shelter, outside of Tehran. Shelter personnel say if Omid, whose Persian name means hope, hadn’t been rescued, he would have perished due to the extent of his injuries. The dog also had fleas and intestinal parasites, common among Iran’s street dogs>>>

جوانی دور از وطن خود آواز می خواند تا با هنر خود دلها را شاد کند. عده ای آن را خوش ندارند. عده ای که نه قاضی هستند و نه کاره ای در سیستم قضایی. عده ای که خود را مافوق قانون کشوری و هر نظام بین المللی می دانند حکم قتلش را از آن سر دنیا صادر میکنند. جانش را بگیرید تا دیگر زبانش در جهت نارضایی ما نچرخد. این فرد نه قتلی کرده و نه جنایت>>>
CANADA

In the Iranian community here in Toronto a debate has started. Many see this matter as a good development, a turning point against potential financial supporters of Iranian regime who for decades have invested in Canada without any interference. They complain about many real estate investments by Chinese, Russian and Iranian investors that creates big headaches for the residents. On the other hand many insist that the sanctions enforced by Canadian financial institutions under government pressure only affect ordinary hard-working Iranians >>>
PERSIAN GULF
17-May-2012 (2 comments)
As the points continue to add up, the Islamic Republic of Iran is frantic to change the debate about Iran, yet again. Its recent focus on seeking to win the Persian Gulf – Arabian Gulf battle proves that the Islamic Regime in Tehran will play both sides of the coin if it means buying time for its nuclear weapons program. After discouraging Nowruz events year after year, essentially banning Zoroastrian inspired holidays and customs, and sometimes outlawing relics of pre-Islamic Persian culture, it seems very odd for the Mullahs to suddenly rally to save the name “Persian Gulf” >>>

The report, citing the views of the Intelligence Division of the New York Police Department, reiterates that the "FBI officials have suspected that the Alavi Foundation is using its Islamic centers as a means of penetrating the Black Muslim Community to recruit sympathizers." It goes as far as saying that "According to open source reports, black Muslims involved in the 1993 World Trade Center (WTC) bombing were recruited from mosques in Jersey City, NJ and Brooklyn." As we see the discoveries of the intelligence report needs no proof>>>
CULTURE CLASH
17-May-2012 (7 comments)
آنچه که در پرونده پاکستانیها در بریتانیا اتفاق افتاد با آنچه که در برزیل به دست دیپلمات جمهوری اسلامی صورت گرفت، هر دو از فرهنگ مردانهای بر میخیزد که نه فقط زن خودی را شیئ جنسی میشمارد که باید او را تحت کنترل داشت و بلکه به زن ناخودی (نامسلمان) به چشم طعمهای نگاه میکند که میتوان آن را تصاحب و تصرف کرد و مورد تجاوز قرار داد. در این فرهنگ، پسر خانواده حق دارد به هر نوع فعالیت جنسی بپردازد>>>
RESEARCH
14-May-2012 (12 comments)
In the high-stakes international discussions surrounding Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons, Iran's 80 million people are often forgotten. So I, along with a small team of Israelis, decided to explore the driving forces of Iranian society. There have been signs, on the streets and over the Internet, of a battle raging between the country's Islamic fundamentalists and the proponents of freedom. The question we set out to explore is where the majority of the people stand>>>
BAHAIS

The rule barring 300,000 or so Bahais from Iran's colleges and universities remains in place. It is enforced with particular vigor by the hard-line government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Even before Pohl's exposé, the Bahai community had begun seeking ways to educate its youth. Those efforts culminated in the establishment of a secret distance-education college operated by hundreds of volunteers inside and outside Iran>>>
KHAMENEI

با روی کار آمدن خامنهای، ولایت فقیه صفت «مطلقه» به خود گرفته بود و او بر آن شد که نظام جمهوری اسلامی را آن گونه که میخواهد شکل دهد و اجازه چون و چرا به کسی ندهد. او که اعتبار و اقتدار معنوی خمینی را نداشت، تنها میتوانست با حذف هر عنصر و نیرویی که در برابر او کمترین مخالفت و انتقادی را پیش بکشد به این هدف دست یابد>>>
NIAC
11-May-2012 (98 comments)
I thought it would be a typical Thursday at work last week, but as soon as I arrived to the office, an associate pulled me aside and pointed to a series of defamatory tweets against me and the National Iranian American Council (NIAC), the organization for which I intern. The tweets were directed at me by neoconservative upstarts Sohrab Ahmari and Peter Kohanloo in response to comments I tweeted (here and here) regarding an article written by Ahmari demonizing American academics who had recently traveled to Iran>>>
CENSORSHIP

There is a new Gulf war underway, but be careful what you call it. Google unwittingly sparked the conflict last week when it dropped the name “Persian Gulf” from the body of water separating Iran from the Arabian Peninsula. It declined to call it the “Arabian Gulf” or simply “the Gulf,” either, perhaps making its 250,000 square kilometers 97,000 square miles) the biggest landmark on Google Maps to go nameless>>>
DEMOCRACY
07-May-2012 (27 comments)
مسئله مهم در چنین لحظاتی تجربه زیستن در کشوری جمهوریخواه و تمرین دموکراسی است. سارکوزی در نطق خود به نتیجه رأی گیری احترام گذاشت و از مردم خواست که آنها نیز به این رأی گیری احترام بگذارند و آن را به رسمیت بشناسند و به فرانسه فکر کنند. کمی بعد اولاند نیز در نطق خود از مردم فرانسه تشکر کرد و از آنها خواست که حرمت ساکوزی و حرمت جمهوری را نگهدارند>>>
CORRUPTION

آن چه که این روزها در سالن بزرگ شعبه اول دادگاه انقلاب تهران میگذرد تنها یک محاکمه عادی نیست. در این جا ظاهرا به بزرگترین پرونده اختلاس مالی در تاریخ ایران رسیدگی میشود، ولی همراه با آن عمق فسادی که در تار و پود رژیم اسلامی حاکم نفوذ کرده است بیشتر و بیشتر نمایان میگردد و در برابر چشمان مردم قرار میگیرد>>>
FRANCE

طبق آمار رسمی، دیشب بیش از هفده میلیون نفر در فرانسه به دوئل نشسته سارکو-اولاند گوش داده اند. حتماً آمار واقعی بیش از این است چون خیلی ها برای نپرداختن مالیات تلویزیون، به دولت رسماً اعلام نمی کنند که در خانه تلویزیون دارند و تلویزیون تماشا می کنند. مجری ها خونسرد و مسلط و هشیار بودند و گاهی با یک کلمه جلسه را روی ریل مسیر تعیین شده می انداختند.>>>
