Tabriz is the fourth largest city in Iran and the capital of East Azarbaijan Province. Situated at an altitude of 1,350 meters at the junction of the Quri River and Aji River, it was the second largest city in Iran until the late 1960s, one of its former capitals and residence of the crown prince under the Qajar dynasty. The city has proven extremely influential in the country’s recent history. Tabriz is located in a valley to the north of the long ridge of the volcanic cone of Sahand, south of the Eynali mountain. The valley opens out into a plain that slopes down gently to the northern end of Lake Urmia, 60 km to the west. With cold winters and temperate summers the city is considered as a summer resort.

Sad to see someone from the land of Sattar-khan/Bagher-Khan would support some one like Ahamdinejad, human waste at best!  I consider myself a religous person and I love Muhammad (saw) with all i've got.  I hate to see people like Khamenie and Ahamdinejad misuse my religon Islam to rape and murder my people and prevent my people from realizing their God given freedom.  God created us free and Muhammad (saw) helped us realize our gift... we will die, but we will not settle for anything less than truth, justance and freedom for all including non-muslims in Iran. 

 

Yashasin Tabrizin Pahlavan Ushakhlari... Ya Muhammad (saw), Allahin juzali, sanaa ghurbaan ulum.

 

be an act at all times in the name of Allah.

Suggestion for JJ!

Hi JJ:

Is it possible to implement an optional feature which would automatically display the pictures at regular time intervals, let's say every 10 seconds?

Thanks!
