من هم به سبک مانی پیامبر همزادی دارم (مبادا یک دفعه خدای نکرده فکر کنید که من هم ادّعای پیامبری دارم!) که گهگاه با من صحبت و درد دل کرده، پرسش هائی مطرح می کند. اخیراً مدّتیست که مرتّب از من می پرسد: "فکر می کنی که رنگ چشم و پوست تاثیری در فکر و رفتار یک انسان می تواند داشته باشد؟" گفتم مثالی برایم بزن تا منظورت را بهتر بفهمم>>>

In the corner of the gallery in Berlin, I saw the paintings I had come to see -those by Parastou (whose name means swallow) Forouhar- the ones with the many butterflies and guns, as well as the chess tables. Next to the table where I sat to rest a bit before looking at each individual painting and sketch, I spotted a brochure about the artist. I then went over to the gallery attendant, a young man, and asked him, “Do you know what the story is behind these butterflies?” He said “No, but would you mind telling me?” So I did>>>

Children of Persia has long relied upon volunteers to help fulfill its mission and goals. This has included recruiting and encouraging children, teens and young adults to participate, to create and to organize their own projects for advancing the organization’s mission. The organization has seen time and again that, with encouragement and guidance, these young volunteers can make a commitment to plan and implement activities. They will, if allowed, take on responsibility

My last minute purchase gave me tickets in the worst possible seats, but I soon found out it didn’t matter where you sat. Before I knew it, the dancers, their flawless costumes, the immaculate choreography and eloquent narration had lifted me off my seat to indulge in an ethereal experience. The drums, the light and the backdrop of Shahnameh’s pages added the perfect touch to this outstanding production. Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam may be new to the art scene in the U.S., but just wait and see where his art will lead us next>>>

نگارنده بر این باور است که علیرغم آنچه مبلغان حمله‌ی نظامی صریحاً یا تلویحاً بیان می‌کنند، وضعیت نقض حقوق بشر در ایران به هیچ عنوان به گونه‌ای نیست که "مسئولیت محافظت" جامعه‌ی جهانی را برانگیزد و مداخله نظامی قدرت‌های خارجی را توجیه نماید. بررسی اجمالی این اصل دلیل اظهار چنین ادعایی را به خوبی روشن می‌سازد:

Questioning authority is bright and can lead one to a better understanding. Critical literacy as a way of thinking encourages one to scrutinize issues from numerous perspectives, which henceforth assists in the recognition of social and political influences and helps one to avoid developing simplistic viewpoints. Questioning authority, (or anyone for that matter), should not carry a negative connotation even if it is perceived as discord. Let’s bear in mind that dissent is not a crime — to the contrary, dissent is a right! >>>

بختیار از معدود کسانی بود که خطر استبداد مذهبی را به خوبی درک کرده بودند، و مهمتر از آن این که او حاضر شده بود با شنا کردن بر خلاف جریان آب، بر اساس تشخیص خود عمل کند. یعنی درک واقعیت، و عمل بر اساس آن. بسیاری در اولی لنگ زدند و کمتر کسی حاضر بود که دومی را مرتکب شود. بینش و شجاعت عمل: این دو خصوصیتی بود که بختیار داشت و هیچ کس دیگر در موقعیت او نداشت. آن چه که بختیار نداشت زمان بود>>>

In 1990, two mothers sat in a modest kitchen enjoying a spring day and the usual conversation of getting to know someone new. It would turn out that their common passions of family, children, gardening and heritage became the pathway to deeper stories of women's issues, self-determination, and personal struggle. Sue was an American Jewish educator, writer and entrepreneur. Mahru was an Iranian Muslim nurse and counselor. Mahru's stories were powerful, and screamed for a way into the world>>>

Mohreye Sorkh or the “Scarlet Stone” was my father - Siavash Kasrai’s last epic poem and one that is less known to Iranians than his first one - Arash Kamangir. He wrote this poem in the darkest days of his bitter separation from the country he loved most- Iran. As harsh as it was, it is this separation however that gave him the perspective needed to ponder upon the meaning of his own aspirations and inspirations; the strength needed to analyze his generation, its heroism and its heights as well as its shortcomings and failures>>>
NATIONALISM

Those Iranian/Persian intellectuals who studiously avoid discussions of difference and diversity can hardly touch the surface of oppressive and exclusionary power relationships in contemporary Iran. They are likely to offer at best partial, at worst misleading contributions to the struggle for democracy. Their constant talk of democracy and human rights are nothing more than ideological slogans serving as a façade for power and privilege>>>

I have tried and tried and tried, and for the life of me have not been able to figure out what use Facebook has, and why we should all be on it. Iranians though, seem to be on it a lot. I'll toss some Ahvazi-naft on the fire right away and suggest that first, Iranians love anything free, second they love anything trendy, so that's why I think Iranians are on Facebook>>>
