I am responding to this article that compared the IRI to the Nazis. Simply put, the IRI, and Iran in general, cannot be compared to Nazi Germany. There are many differences, some of which are cultural and others are unique to akhoonds and the IRI. Here are the reasons. I will first point out the cultural ones:
-Germans are industrious people who are focused on innovation and invention. They build high quality precision machines, aircraft and tools that have no rival in the world. Iranians, on the other hand, like poetry and love stories. Our most treasured assets are Shahnameh and Divan-e-Hafez. With a very few exceptions, our kings and rulers, for at least the past ten centuries, have preferred to leave the whole “industry”,“innovation” and “invention” thing to foreigners and focus on becoming “hali-be-hali”while listening to a poem by the royal court’s resident poet.
-Germans are timely and efficient people. They show up for work on time, do the job right when they are there, and do not leave until the job is done. Iranians, on the other hand, treasure their afternoon naps, and their tea time while they are at work. They show up for work in the morning for a few hours, drink tea, BS with coworkers, and at 12:00 pm, they are in their cars and on their way home for lunch and their midday siesta. By the time they return to work (if they return to work), it’s time to come back home again. So, they waste a couple of hours lamenting about their rudely interrupted naps and work and then it’s back to the house, and more ghormeh sabzi.
-Germans are sticklers about rules and regulations. We, Iranians, on the other hand, consider laws to be “suggestions”. Hell, we can’t even learn to throw our trash in a trash bin on the street when there is trash can every 100 feet.
Now, some akhoond related reasons why Iran is not like Nazi German:
-Nazis valued nationalism above all else. They wanted to expand Deutschland. They valued German identity, German nationalism and German culture. Akhoonds, on the other hand, are enemies of Iranian nationalism and non-Islam related Iranian culture. Moreover, they cannot care less about what happens to Iran as a country so long as their ideology is advanced. As Ayatooleh Hendizadeh himself once said: “let Iran burn”. They even want to erase all mention of Iran’s past kings from Iranian schoolbooks.
-Nazis valued art and music, so much so that they stole every piece of valuable art that they could get their hands on from their conquered nations and brought them to Germany. Akhoonds, on the other hand, love rozeh khooni, too sar zani and ghoran khooni.
-In twelve years, Nazis elevated Germany from a conquered, half slaved nation to a powerhouse of technology, self sufficiency and technology. Theakhoonds, on the other hand, have managed, in the span of thirty years, to transform Iran from a progressive, forward moving nation to one that has torely on second hand North Korean technology for its defense, and cannot get a plane up in the air without it crashing and killing civilian passengers. The only thing that the IRI has managed to do is to put veils on women and reduce them to second classcitizens.
-Nazis were not satisfied with what they had. They always thought and planned about being bigger and better. Akhoonds, on the other hand, have changed the Iranian culture to one being satisfied (“ghaaneh”) with what you have, and are prolific supporters of culture of “geda-paravri.”
-Nazis made certain that ALL German citizens had a proper job and proper place to live. The akhoonds, on the other hand, have forced Iranians into such poverty that people are forced to sell their daughters in Dubai to buy food.
-Nazis hated religion in all its forms. The akhoonds, on the other hand…well, there is not much that I need to say there.
Last, but certainly not the least:
-Nazis loved cleanliness and proper representation. They were meticulous about their uniforms and abhorred sloppiness. Akhoonds, on the other hand, love the smell of “khala” and dirt. That’s why, as Sadegh Hedayat said once, whenever you go to a mosque, the “vozoo” fountains are next to the bathrooms, so the first thing you smell is the wonderful bathroom aroma. Also,have you seen their representatives in other nations? They look like the “sepoors “that pick up your trash every day. And what about their gun toting Basijis? They look (and act) like they just came outof a cave.
So, given all of the above, I don’t think that the IRI has any similarity to Nazi Germany. I think a better comparison would be North Korea, which Christopher Hitchens so artfully describes here. The similarities between those two systems are striking.

Look at it this way: if someone is incapable of distinguishing between historical facts and 'admiration" of genocidal system, then should I really be the one who tries to educate and / or challenge that person? I much rather ride along and go for the joyride to see how far they will take the absurdity. Hence, the entertainment value!

Stalin was also evil but had some competence. IRR is as evil minus that competence.
Get off the high horse. You are not fooling anyone.

well, you know
by Anonymous Observer on Wed Feb 03, 2010 02:35 PM PSTthat calling people "Zionists" on this site is kind of "dime a dozen" thing. So, if that's what you're insinuating, then by all means, go right ahead...it doesn't change anything. Facts are facts. Nazis were just as efficient in technological advancement as they were in killing people. In fact, one of the things that they put in place was a hybridization of the two concepts where they made mass murder an industrial, mechanical concept, with neat paperwork, stamps and files. There are books written on the subject. Some argue that it was the concept of "modern man", where at the beginning of the 20th century, man was given this great power because of mass weapons production, technological advancements, etc. and this industrialization of mass murder was a sign of man's inability to properly "manage" this newly found power. Pretty interesting stuff. It's always good for us to read up on such theories to help prevent it from happening in the future. I personally think that there will be a new era of "modern man" in the near future with use of digital and unmanned weapons. We shall see...
But for now, I've got to go. There is a conference call that I have a partake in between myself, Natanyahu and the head of the Mississippi KKK. :-)))

Magen30
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Wed Feb 03, 2010 01:00 PM PSTI am not sure what you are looking for but I will try to help.
I have been living in the US since the revolution. In this time I did not find one unique culture in the US. Neither does Iran have a unique set of habits.
For example I dated a hippe girl here who never shaved her legs or armpits. I also known American women who are very much into shaving. The point is that people are individuals wherever they are from.
Regarding Qadesiyeh: You write: Qadesiyeh refers to the major battle of al-Qadeisiyyah in which
the Arab Khallife Army defeated the Sassanid Iran Army and hence ceased
the notion of Iranian statehood for good
That statement is both wrong and honestly offensive. The Iranian state did not cease "for good". The Sassanian ceased after 20+ years of fighting. It took a few hundred years for independent Iranian states to emerge but by 861 the Saffarids had established an Iranian state. Many things happened since then and Iranian states went through ups and downs. Sometimes they were united and powerful and other times fragmented and weaker. But there has been an Iranian state in the Iranian home land for at least 2500 and quite possibly the past 6000 years. These with brief periods of interruption like the Arab state post Islam. The one thing that did change was the main religion which went from Zoroastrian to Islam. But even that is not 100%. There are still between 20 t0 60 thousand Zoroastrians in Iran and the roots of Iranian culture are Zoroastrian.
Regarding V-ran: No one calls Iran "V-ran". Not since the Sassanian or Qadesiyeh. I think this is a pun based on two things:
These are not old historical references. They are new and relate to the events of the past 32 years. I may be wrong but I think the phrase was coined by SamSam. He can verify this.

Zan and Megan
by Anonymous Observer on Wed Feb 03, 2010 08:31 AM PSTIn terms of the bathroom "wiping" habits, Iran has a long and illustrious history thanks to our (now ruling ) religious class. For hundreds of years, those good and hard working men have spent thousands of hours of research and detailed experiments to figure out the best way to achieve the level of Taharat that is befitting a halva eating society. They have eaten for hours upon hours (mostly free and on other people's dime), gone to the bathroom multiple times a day, have squatted on the "Islamic" toilet, and afterwards have done multiple experiments with their highly sophisticated "aftabeh's" trying to figure out exactly how far a finger should be extended into a rectum to completely "clean" the "contents" that may be stuck there. It is even rumored that Khomeini himself (pee be upon him) actively participated in those experiments in between issuing execution orders.
So, Megan, there is no wonder that your friend told you that he is constantly lectured in the IRI about this subject. That subject is, indeed, the crown jewel of IRI's achievements.
Fair
by Anonymous Observer on Wed Feb 03, 2010 08:37 AM PSTyou are absolutely correct about Nazi accomplishments. Every time we get in a jet airplane or see a rocket blast off into space we should think of the Nazi Germany technology that invented all of these machines.
See, the difference between them and us is that they didn't whine, they didn't lament and they didn't blame others for their ills. They were badly defeated in WWI and their country was divided into parts and ruled by the British and the French. They were in a semi-slavery state. But they rose up, took control of their destiny and in a mere decade became the most technologically and industrially advanced nation in the world, and amassed a military that was so powerful that it literally took the whole world to stop. We, on the other hand, are still writing books, arguing, crying and lamenting how the U.S. screwed us over sixty years ago over Mossadegh and what the "imperialists" did to us under Shah, blah, blah, blah... which, in mind are a bunch of sorry excuses to justify the errors of our culture. case in point: the "imperialists" have supposedly been out of the picture for the past 30 years. What has the IRI accomplished? Jack s**t!!!
Every time one of their planes crashes they (parroted by the clueless idiots on this site) cry about the U.S. not giving them spare parts. Nazis didn't cry about not getting planes from other nations. They BUILT them, better than anyone else in the world. And it only took them a decade. Where has the IRI been in a decade? It has expanded the Jamkaran well! And the worst thing is that when you bring it to their attention, they call you a "racist". As if I can be a "racist" against myself!!!!

thanks Zan Amrikai
by Magen30 on Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:49 PM PSTThank you for your reply. I agree that daily shampooing can be unhealthy for one's hair (esp if they already have dry type hair). I also agree that some Americans can be excessive with the cleanliness stuff.... sometimes bordering on compulsive. I guess I was mainly referring to "average" folks with no phobias or compulsions (leaving Adrian Monk out of the picture).
I've only lived in the USA but have known many international students during college years. Many told me that after living in the USA , it was difficult to transition back to some of the more Euro ways. Women seemed to continue the ritual of shaving their legs & underarms even when they left the USA, they continued their daily showers & use of deodorants. Men likewise found having a fresh shirt daily a protocol they maintained even after leaving the USA. Many stated they preferred women with shaved underarms & legs more so than unshaven. While I am sure there are many cases of after Americans lived abroad & then returned to the USA, many miss some of the practices they learned in other countries.
A friend who is a teacher told me once, even though she also agrees that excessive shampooing is not good, but after witnessing all day how kids cough & sneeze frequently without covering their mouth or nose & not to mention all the other ways that kids spread germs in elementary schools, she always shampooed her children's hair during the school week. (Not to mention being watchful of lice). Some of her most repeated statements during a day are to remind her students "wash your hands", "cover your mouth/nose" or other 'good health' rules.
Also, while I respect everyone's "bathroom" style (hey, if you want to swing from the chandelier while singing “Yankee Doodle” after using 4 cactus leaves - more power to you..... just "get your business" done efficiently before sitting on my sofa please), I do think some "methods" are more conducive to sanitation in public places than others. I am told, "toilet-paper" became popular in the USA only in recent generations when public health was enforced (after WW2). Some believe wet surfaces are more conducive to growing & spreading germs. If you require water, bring your own or your 'baby wipes'. I think the wet wipes are a great alternative to paper & water. But that's just my opinion. One Iranian man told me that only in IRI do you find the “bathroom butt police” who preach squat toilets are superior to Western toilets (not if you're pregnant or handicapped or elderly), & “this” method of cleaning is superior to “that” method or, enter on this foot & exit with the other foot, & pray that devils won't attack you in the bathroom etc....... He was so frustrated with all the bathroom protocol that he wanted to scream.... & he was a medical doctor. He said, if a person desires to be clean & are observant to their "situation", well, they will “get their business done efficiently”. He said it reminded him of how sometimes school kids are discouraged from writing with their left hand & are often encouraged to instead be right handed. We've learned that is a total flop of an idea. IMO, I think we will learn that can apply to other areas as well. I believe there are clean people globally.... as well as not-so-clean people anywhere (sometimes it has nothing to do with money or resources.... some folks are just hygienically-challenged & don't seem to care.) I was surprised by the resistance to daily bathing for a few reasons: a hot shower/bath can be so relaxing (like a message); children (after finally capturing them & getting them into the bath) enjoy the bath-play time; & actually, I've learned that showering can give the body a surge of energy when sleeping isn't an option...... maybe that's why we now see truck stops with nice shower areas. Some believe a shower is equal to sleeping 3 hours. (don't know if I believe that but I do feel rejuvenated after a shower.)... not to mention many other benefits.
Thanks again Zan Amrikai for your feedback. It was helpful. Hope someone else will assist with defining the words/phrases I listed below.
Bathing and More
by Zan Amrikai on Tue Feb 02, 2010 08:35 PM PSTMagen30, Actually there are many people around the globe who do not bathe every day, even when they do have access to hot water--or cold, for that matter. In fact, it is probably Americans (who are the ones bathing EVERY day) who are the odd ones out. Certainly when I was a college student in Spain and France, no one was taking a shower or washing their hair every day. And most hairdressers will tell you that it's not good to wash your hair every single day--but try telling that to most Americans!
And when your Iranian friends said the thing about washing after going to the bathroom, yes, they mean THAT. As one who started that habit many years ago myself (long before I ever met Iranians), I think it's a good idea for anyone to do that after they go to the bathroom and I suppose there are some who only use water--if you had a bidet it would be water, but if you are using your hand and the sink--being explicit here, obviously, to make the point--there is going to be soap in there at some point. To think that just paper is going to do the same thing is just, well, EWW.
I will let someone else answer your questions about what the different things mean, except I'll give you one little language secret that you can use going forward: Zadeh means pretty much from/born in so Hendizadeh is born in Hend...and Hend is India. :)
Best wishes learning Persian; it's a great language!

Interesting... Nazi -vs- IRI.... Resistance to daily bathing??
by Magen30 on Tue Feb 02, 2010 08:22 PM PSTI found Anonymous Observer's comparison of Nazi Germany & IRI very interesting.... & I loved the comparison to North Korea. (BTW, "A Nation of Racist Dwarfs Kim Jong-il's Regime Is Even Weirder & More Despicable Than You Thought” by Christopher Hitchens www.slate.com/id/2243112/ was likewise very interesting!)
Since I am still a beginner to learning to speak Persian, could someone give me the definition to the below 9 words/phrases. This would greatly assist me in a better appreciation of the post.
1. “hali-be-hali”
2. "akhoond"
3. "Hendizadeh"
4. “khala”
5. "hezbo"
6. "kaniz & serfs of Neo-Ommatism"
7. "Salman, ibn moghafah, Afshin"
8. "gol-aab"
9. "reesh-o pashm"
I also enjoyed the reference to resistance to daily bathing. I understand there are times when daily bathing is not possible: during a hospital stay, in war-torn areas, in areas of poverty or drought, elderly or handicapped people who may require assistance for safety sake etc. Years ago, there were many homes that did not have running water & daily bathing was not possible ..... plus not having a hot water heater greatly affects one's daily bathing ritual. HOWEVER, not including any of these cases but speaking of individuals who have an average home that has a bathtub or shower, with hot water & at least 1 bar of soap, I DO NOT understand why anyone would opt not to enjoy a daily bath/shower? That amazes me. I have known people who simply do not adhere to daily bathing & I find that so "unusual" (bazaar) so I never felt comfortable asking why (perhaps it was a religious reason & I did not want to give offense). Again, I'm not referring to anyone who has a skin or other medical restriction or any of the other restrictions mentioned above. I have heard a possible "reason" from some Muslim people (though I do not know if their reply was an Islamic answer or simply their personal answer".) I was informed that because Muslim people always "wash" after going to the toilet in addition to washing before prayer times, they do not require a daily shower/bath. (Surely they were just joking with me & trying to see how much I would believe.) I later learned the word "wash" as they used it, is actually what most people understand as the definition of a "rinse" (exclusively water only without any use of soap). So..... if their reply was accurate, I think rinsing one's hands after a bathroom visit definitely is NOT the same as washing their hands... or any other body areas..... This is especially true if employed in the food industry. [Dr Liaquat Ali Khan – Statesman & Law Professor does mention in 2 articles that the Koran encourages cleanliness: “How Americans Appreciate Cleanliness” ; “Cleanliness Can Be Learned” //WashburnLaw.edu/Faculty/Khan-Ali-Pub.php]
I have many Persian Iranian friends who are very polite, clean, professional, considerate, well-groomed, fashionable, educated etc. Their clothes are always top-notch, freshly laundered & very well pressed (even crispy). Many are home-makers, many are doctors or employed in other professions outside the home. No way would I insult them & inquire if the rumor is true about some IRI people avoiding daily bathing. However, I confess, the topic intrigues me as it seems soooooooo foreign...... like from outer space. I'd love to get more info on the topic. Since IRI claims everything is about the advancement of Islam, it would seem if they indeed practice only sporadic bathing, that would be more likely to advance the stinkiness of the IRI.
from samsam1111 I found the term Qadesiyeh refers to the major battle of al-Qadeisiyyah in which the Arab Khallife Army defeated the Sassanid Iran Army and hence ceased the notion of Iranian statehood for good. I call this regime and it,s supporters with that term linking them to their forefathers in Qadesiyeh just like the occupation force in V-ran today. Now You probably might ask what V-ran means. V-ran is the term used by me to describe the post Qadesiyeh Iran as not to corrupt & associate the legacy of that sacred name with culture of Ommatism & Mavalis..now You might ask what Mavali means lol..Mavali is the term Arabs used for their subjugated slave nations such as in Iran like gholams, kaniz..It,s a term I use to describe the folks who bow to Ommatist culture as 2nd class citizen or Ajam ...Now you might ask what the term Ajam means..looool..your best bet is to read on or check my older blogs my dear.... iranian.com/main/blog/q/jews-obama

But generally there is no denying that IRI and Nazis were both fascists and dictated to their people. But at least the Nazis made scientific contributions that humanity benefitted from- like rockets, jet aircraft, microwave telecommunications, radar, submarines, etc. etc. All humanity continues to benefit from these. Name just one scientific or technological contribution made to this planet from the IRI, other than the export of hundreds of thousands of brains.
Thanks,

Very well said
by MRX1 on Tue Feb 02, 2010 07:17 PM PSTLook at this way, if Nazi's didn't do all the attrocities (concentration camps, labor camps, killings, mass muders, etc ) one could have easily argued that they were defending honor of Germany ,specialy after the treatment it received from the alies after the end of world war I. Now as cruel and f*ed up they were, they were orderly, clean, industrious,hard workers, modern, efficient with grand vision for Germany and Europe as a hole. In fact the modern E.U is what hitler had in mind except with domination of Germany. Now compare that to IRR: orientalism of the worst kind, filth, poverty, backwardness, list goes on and on. Come to think of ityou may be installing Nazi's comparing them with Joonevarhayeh IRR!!!!

"...Akhoonds, on the other hand, are enemies of Iranian nationalism and non-Islam related Iranian culture.."
Some dont get it but that line says it all about the Ommatie Republic of Qadesiyeh & it,s sympathizers(home based or diaspora), personnell, enablers & theoricians . These class of modern kaniz & serfs of Neo-Ommatism are above and beyond traitors such as Salman, ibn moghafah, Afshin..etc in sheer levels of acts of treason . The idea of Iran means nothing to these stateless Ommatie/commie nomads of treachery and phony liberal posers . To these Qadessi parasites Iran is nothing but a piece of real estate with no kiaani past & identity ready to be framed & conformed into their faceless ommatie utopia .
btw* notice the closet hezbo trash choice of vocab when they talk about IRI & how they interchange & correlate the word IRI for "Iran" as in "Iranian government", "Iranian Army", "Iranian president", "Iranian foreign policy" when refering to IRI. When in effect the word "Iran" has been practicaly cut from most of regime,s own branches such as "Majlis shorayeh eslami", "Majmaa tashkhiss maslehat nezaam", "Sepah pasdaran enghelab eslami", "Shorayeh negahban" ....

For the past 31 years, our wonderful people have been resisting the fundamentalist regime. Khomeini came to power by lying to and deceiving the Iranian people.

Nonsense
by zakarazi on Tue Feb 02, 2010 02:30 PM PSTI get real embarrassed when reading such racist and ignorant absurdity. How can anybody be so narrow in perpective as to claim absolutims such as "I don’t think that the IRI has any similarity to Nazi Germany." Do you really see NO similarities, not even the ones between SA (later SS) brown shirts and today's basijis??? And how can you see similarities between IRI and N. Korea, but not see any between N. Korea and Nazi Germany (and thus, today's Iran)?

Point well-taken. There are thousands upon thousand upon thousands of Iranians all around the world that work hard and are industrious. To be more precise, there are millions of Iranians inside and outside Iran that work hard.
Lack of time and my initial intention to place names and links of examples of Iranian scientists (I live in the U.S. and know of them) was the reason I began with Iranians in the U.S. I ran out of time and posted it without reading my post. Your point is valid.

BTW, as an Iranian, I LOVE my tea!!
