Night from Iran: What will you think of us after reading this?

Jun 14, 2007 by Peace-seeker | Posted in Other - Politics & Government

I conjecture that if you spend 10 minutes reading this essay, you will be better informed than if you listen to a lifetime's worth of Major Media talk. This article has two parts:
1. Cultural and general info
2. Political info.
Note: I've explained everything.Any answers before reading the whole subject will prove to be wrong.Specially the political part.I've provided evidence for whatever I say.It's just the way it is.

Part 1: Cultural and general info
Hi. I'm a 19 year old Iranian who has consumed his life in Iran.I study English.When I chat with people from other countries, I am shocked to see how totally wrong their ideas are about Iran. I wrote this article in an have to help correct those ideas.
The first thing the West accuses our government of is that we don't allow personal freedoms. Truly, Iranians disobey laws they don't like as much as anyone.There are only a few restrictions.It's cool over here. People here do whatever they wish to! Many strict rules in other countries don't even eke out a living in Iran. Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.Some of Iran's laws are based on OUR culture. You look at our native land from "your own point of view"! In Iran most houses have a sattelite dish. Sattelite television has a serious work on on our people, and Iranians wear very fashionable clothing. Maybe it is a kind of imitation, but we still have our own unique Iranian line. A visitor might wonder if this is a country or a fantasy pageant of beauty queens! Make-up and fashionable clothing are everywhere.I cut a few fuddy-duddies though!

In my view, everything is great, if you ignore unemployment, drugs, inflation and air pollution. Also, you can't compare Iran today with the Iran you recollect. The Shah and the Iatollah Khomini are both some 30 years in the past! 70% of Iran's population is a new generation (Under age 30) without the biases of the existence and we've transformed everything.
Ever heard Iranian girls are terrific?I've collected some photos showing Iranian girls! Look! Poeple are like this!

http://tinypic.com/2d0nfao.jpgLargelyIs that enough?!
Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran. But in my view, women are overrunning the place. They're very respectful, and they've been the winners in so many cases: Most of them get into the most superbly universities because they're very smart. And they get the best jobs because of their high university degrees. They've got Islamic rights, and that has in some cases made it unyielding for men to marry them, because husbands are supposed to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women have the right to ask a great amount of money (called Mehr) according to the law, which most husbands cannot in trouble with, so men will be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's because such places are full of brazen guys. They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here.
Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery. Have you ever asked yourselves how many years ago that footage associated to? But in one case the thing that had happened was incest not adultery. Most of those footages relate to the early days just after Iran's coup d'! Otherwise you'd get new footages at least once a month!What exactly makes you think women are treated differently?The way they are treated in Saudi Arabia? Try to suppose of the racism in your country too.I found a BOOK of the U.S problems and it got me dizzy! Iran has its own problems too. Each country has its own problems.
Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are --------- SEPERATE COUNTRIES! --------- Even within Iran, 60% of us are Persian and 30% are Turkish! Iran is a common country like any other in the world. The Media are very good at creating really scary stuff: "IRAN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!!" "IRAN Secret!!!" Some of that garbage would be enough to scare ME away! But in truth, Iranians are far more open-minded than you have been led to believe.
There are lots of Iranians today who are geniuses and scientists, and are all under age 25. For as it happens a 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions. Every year a special scientific compeition is held here and students piece together to show off hundreds of inventions. Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different competitions in the everybody all the time, in robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the Media talk about them? Please don't summarize our nation and cultivation with the single word "nuclear". Although we're proud of this achievement because we believe that having nuclear forcefulness means that a country is developed.


A few months ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine. I searched for hearsay of that on the internet, but there was no single sign of it.Now, I found it among the English news: "The medicine is produced from herbs using nano technology" The together to read about it is: http://www.payvand.com/news/07/feb/1032.html
The Media are unjust. They never talk about facts!
Some attractive facts:
Iran is a pioneer in medicine and genetics, and Iranian surgeons have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects, and many diseases (above all the treatment for different types of cancer) and the best brain and heart surgeons are Iranian.The pioneer in kindliness transplants and artificiall hearts and so on and so! (I've put two websites below) The head of the Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian. One of the best designers of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian. Some of the pre-eminent 3D animators are Iranian. Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering. Holds the second place in construction dams and in loads of other things! It's one of the top countries in bio-technology and nano-technology. The 4th highest tower in the world (Milad citadel) is in Tehran (visit it at this link from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Milad.jpg ). 51 of the top 100 universities in the Mid-East are in Iran, and they're among the top universities of the the world at large as well. The champion weight-lifter, a woman the nobel peace prize are Iranian. The 6th top movie director in the area is Iranian.(Abbas Kiarostami) http://arts.guardian.co.uk/fridayreview/story/0,12102,1084266,00.html
These are unbiased small samples.If the media told you about Iran's achievemens everyday and didn't hide them, your news would be full of Iranian talk!Iranian girls are famous for being terrific. We have Persian rugs and Persian literature, many Persian poets, artists and scientists that are over the moon marvellous famous. Iranian culture is now westernized and only a little of the ancient culture has survived. According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest ripsnorting city in the world (one Dollar =about 950 Tomans) There are many other things. How many pages would you need to describe a country? Iran has precisely all the industries and technologies found in 'developed' countries. Oh, and we have four seasons! We get a lot of snow and there are skating rinks! lol The list is endless.

I'm gonna launch Iran's international news website to you (Press TV) which was established recently. It's fully in English. In the "Sic / Tech" cross-section you'll always see Iran's discoveries. The address is: http://www.presstv.ir/news.aspx Press TV news: Iranian scientists have registered more than 4800 inventions during the last Iranian appointment book year of 1385 (April 21 2006-April 20, 2007). 4800 inventions in just one year!

The tabulation of notable Iranian figures and pioneers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_Medicine_in_Iran
An deduce: Iranian medical community is a significant part of medical community in US and Europe
Enough evidence?

Some people think Iran is a desolate! Well, it is, if you consider California a desert. We share the same latitude. Iran is a modern country with breathtakingly beautiful essence and lots of historic places to visit. Please take a look at the following links to see if Iran looks like what you ruminate over or not!

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran. "Music of Iran and Iranian musicians have received countless awards in the ambit of history. Every year from 1977 to 2007.Evidence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_Iran

And so on and on!
It's now 2007 and most people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts and riding camels!

Part 2: National info.
Let's clarify some political issues as well: Some of the Americans think that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The Media are honourableness at putting lying comments out there. I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us. The thing is that they periodically make some statements that the media would make them controversial topics to interest its viewers! For example they pick up some specific phrases of a hanker speech (without refering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that.
First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone.We hate neither Jews nor Americans. How would our guys delusion of America, want to be like them as much as possible, and hate them at the same time?! The truth us that Iranians are the only people in the Mid-East that are pro-American! Being agaisnt the U.S policies is a varied story! We live basically the same lives.Don't look at the way women dress in public places! You've got to see them in other places!I've got to say that for Iran, Israel is not equivalent with Jews! Israel is a gov't. Jews are faithful people! 20,000 Jews and lots of Christians live here equally with Iranians and two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we call for to force others to convert to Islam? Have you ever found a Moslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?
Christians and Jews are both God-believers and accommodating to us.

I wonder who Iran is really a threat to. Is it logical to say someone's guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that he's going to do something wrong? And they replicate the same "nuclear weapons" tosh over and over and brainwash people! Correction! It's "nuclear drive". Besides, how many "nuclear weapons" do they have themselves? Hundreds of thousands? Has Iran ever attacked any countries? No. Has it developed any nukes? No! That's what atomic agency says. Only Iran's opponents are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is just based on political conflicts. What we're doing is statutory. Iran is a peaceful country. Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could easily invade the countries in our neibourhood well-deserved like what Saddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relations with all of them.

Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! the sentiment is that he exactly said: "The Imam "Khomeyni" said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the page of at all times."They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally. Besides, they've been saying such things for a long time.It's their usage.Here's an article."Wiped off the map....The roumor of the century.Read how the media and the U.S newspapers have twisted it into a controvertioal of inquiry. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/norouzi.php?articleid=11025 Now you see that you were wrong.Iran has always defended itself, but it's not an offensive native land.

Some say he's said: "The Holocaust is a myth!" Again, this is a single phrase taken from a long speech and there are completely logical reasons for saying so. If 6,000,000 Jews were killed, that's terrible, but 300,000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't prominent at all? Over 650,000 Iraqi people are killed and that's not important?! When Fox News simply says that America and Israel are skilled of destroying and killing Iran's population of 69,000,000 within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox Intelligence website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nagasaki and the Vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I cogitate on you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a myth. Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind? Well, if you'd like to blame someone for that, ambition in a time-machine and sue Hitler! lol

Some countries are using Iran as a scapegoat to put the blame (for their own faults) on.
This part is just for Americans:
Those of you who say why Iran says "End to America":
1. 'America' to us means the U.S govt, not the people. How do you expect Iranians to mean "American people" when our media admires Americans for marching and holding up "no war" placards?! Also, I see a lot of "Let's nuke Iran"s on YA.Isn't that a nature of "Death to Iran"?
2. The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys lift making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfriends/boyfriends! Strange. Isn't it?
3. Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you conscious whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a erratum. Would you?)
4. U.S. companies assistance in developing Iraq's chemical weapons facilities during the Iran-Iraq war which killed over a million Iranians
5. USS Vincennes shooting down Iran Air Flying 655 with many civilian fatalities
6.U.S. Support for anti-Iranian terrorist organisations (i.e. the MKO);
7. Economic damage caused by U.S. sanctions and partisan pressure; U.S. UAV overflights over Iran violating Iranian airspace since 2003.

When you call Ahmadinejad a nutcase for what he's said, what do you call Bush for his war crimes?
To those who are overthrow with American hostages taken for 444 days:
1. Firstly, It's related to so many years ago and it's almost a part of history, and don't forget that when there's a coup d', there'd be chaos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy. Aren't they?
2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and had tortured the one who was freed. Now you determine who has the right to be upset with whom. How do you believe in their lies about politics when they hide both the most and the least important things from you considering the fact that statesmanship is the world of lies in its nature?!!!

If you like to insist on your theory of attacking Israel, I'll tell you our logical theory: "The consequence that Iran attacks Israel, Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth by the U.S and its allies and Iran is far more logical than doing such a dopey thing" So, forget about it.I'm quite sure you know that all the events and lies in the world are a part of a pre-planned sequence of events by major world-powers (Iran as an important country has always been a part of their plans)And the first step is to brainwash people.They excactly be acquainted with what will happen even 50 years later! I think Iraq is such a good example.Attacking it with the excuse of removing Saddam while they'd put Saddam there themselves and had supported him for years! They said they had W.M.Ds and you believed them.Now they say Iran (a associate of N.P.T) has nukes / is developing nukes and you believe them wilhe the nuclear agency hasn't found any sign of illegal activities.Habits to wake up!
Isn't it better for both countries to forget past conflicts and to have peaceful relations? Our two gov'ts are like 10 year old children playing a dull-witted, harsh, rhetorical game. They don't care about hurting people's feelings. They just try to make our two peoples enemies to effect their own goals. We, as the people of these countries, MUST NOT allow these conflics into our hearts. Now, what do you think? I can't wait to see both nations in peace. It'd be marvelous!
Did you find my article illuminating? : )
Thanks for your time
To uncleslam: First of all the ones you call terrorists, are defending other groups of people.They're resistent groups.The only criminal groups are al Queda and Taliban which Iran is opposed to.Also, you may be interested in knowing the number of C.I.A's secret prisons and conclude from the same Amnesty page for the U.S too.Here's the number of people tortured and killed illegally and secretly.Hope you find it interesting. http://web.amnesty.org/account2006/usa-summary-eng
I agree that all gov'ts are revolting and unjust, but I don't find it logical when you accuse another gov't and refuse to see what your own gov't's doing. Ordinary people are not active in their dirty deeds, but what can people do? I guess nothing much.
Oh wait.This website's more complete! Thank you! http://web.amnesty.org/library/eng-2am/guide

Whoa Jack! I don't have anything against Iranians. I may not like their authority. But I have nothing against them as individuals.

All I'm going to say is I would have found a good Arab sniper and taken Saddam out with a Chinese sniper rifle. And his boys too. But I'm not in foray.

Don't lump individuals into groups. If you are going to dislike someone do it personally.

People will you still fear Iran after reading this?

Part 1: Cultural and general info
Hi. I'm a 19 year old Iranian who has drained his life in Iran.I study English.When I chat with people from other countries, I am shocked to see how totally wrong their ideas are about Iran. I wrote this article in an attack to help correct those ideas.
The first thing America, and the West in general, accuses our government of is that we don't allow exclusive freedoms. Actually, Iranians disobey laws they don't like as much as anyone.There are only a few restrictions.It's cool over here. People here do whatever they wish to! Many precise rules in other countries don't even exist in Iran. Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.Some of Iran's laws are based on OUR erudition. You look at our country from "your own point of view"! In Iran every single house has a sattelite dish. Sattelite boob tube has a serious influence on our people, and Iranians wear very fashionable clothing. Maybe it is a kind of imitation, but we still have our own unique Iranian vogue. A visitor might wonder if this is a country or a fantasy pageant of beauty queens! Almost women wear half their their skin of one's teeth out, and make-up and fashionable clothing are everywhere.I ignore a few fuddy-duddies though! We look at the world in a beautiful way, cos we know what's it like! Many of you don't even have a indicator hint what's life like in other countries! Buy a satllite.It's worth it! I assure you!
You would be surprised to see the difference between what you imagine and what Iran categorically is!
In my view, everything is great, if you ignore unemployment, drugs, inflation and air pollution. (Common problems in today's exceptional?) Also, you can't compare Iran today with the Iran you remember. The Shah and the Iatollah Khomini are both some 30 years in the whilom! 70% of Iran's population is a new generation (Under age 30) without the biases of the past and we've transformed everything.
Ever heard Iranian girls are terrific?I've comfortable some photos showing Iranian girls! Look! Poeple are like this!

They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here.
Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery. Have you ever asked yourselves how many years ago that footage cognate to? Are they balck and white or colourful? But in one case (related to many years ago) the thing that had happened was incest not adultery. Most of those footages are from Afghanistan which was ruled by freaks (Taliban) or the very at the crack days just after Iran's revolution! Otherwise you'd get new footages at least once a month!What exactly makes you think women are treated differently?The way they were/are treated in Saudi Arabia? Try to about of the racism in your country too. Each country has its own problems.I found a BOOK of the U.S problems and it got me dizzy! Iran has its own problems too.
Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are --------- SEPERATE COUNTRIES! --------- Even within Iran, 60% of us are Persian and 30% are Turkish! Iran is a run-of-the-mill country like any other in the world.

Iran is a modern country with breathtakingly beautiful creation and lots of historic places to visit. Please take a look at the following links to see if Iran looks like what you imagine or not!

And so on and on!

It's now 2007 and most people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels!

Part 2: National info.
Let's clarify some political issues as well: Some of the Americans think that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The Media are extensive at putting lying comments out there. I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us. The thing is that they at times make some statements that the media would make them controversial topics to interest its viewers! For example they pick up some specific phrases of a lengthy speech (without refering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that.
First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone. If our government complains about some unjustness going on in the world, it's not bad, is it? (Although what we want from them is to shut up and not get us into trouble by talking about things that are none of our concern) We hate neither Jews nor Americans. How would our guys hallucination of America, want to be like them as much as possible, and hate them at the same time?! SECRET: Iranians are the only people in the Mid-East that are pro-American! Being agaisnt the U.S policies is a bizarre story! We live basically the same lives.Don't look at the way women dress at the public places! You've got to see them in other places!I've got to say that for Iran, Israel is not meet with Jews! Israel is a gov't. Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the hinge of Iranians. (20,000 Jews and lots of Christians live here! Iran's different!) And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to impact others to convert to Islam? Have you ever found a Muslim knocking at your door asking you to do so?
Christians and Jews are both God-believers and respectful to us. In Iran, belief is one of the least important factors. Where you come from and what your religion is are not important to us at all.

I wonder who Iran is really a threat to. Is it logical to say someone's responsible because we THINK / PREDICT that he's going to do something wrong? And they repeat the same "nuclear weapons" tosh over and over and brainwash people! Remedy! It's "nuclear energy". Besides, how many "nuclear weapons" do they have themselves? Hundreds of thousands? Has Iran ever attacked any countries? No. Has it developed any nukes? No! That's what atomic agency says. Only Iran's opponents are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is just based on political conflicts. What we're doing is acceptable. Iran is a peaceful country. Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could easily invade the countries in our neibourhood honourable like what Saddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relations with all of them.

Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! the sentiment is that he exactly said: "The Imam "Khomeyni" said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the servant of time."They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally. Besides, they've been saying such things for a long heyday.It's their habit.Here's an article."Wiped off the map....The roumor of the century.Read how the media and the U.S newspapers have twisted it into a controvertioal question. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/norouzi.php?articleid=11025 I don't like the way he speaks frankly, but admit that other presidents say many terrific things too, but the media doesn't pull their leg so much!
Now you see that you were wrong.Iran has always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country.

Some say he's said: "The Fire is a myth!" Again, this is a single phrase taken from a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so. If 6,000,000 Jews were killed, that's terrifying, but 300,000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all? Over 650,000 Iraqi people are killed and that's not urgent?! When Fox News simply says that America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing Iran's population of 69,000,000 within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're minatory other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nagasaki and the Vietnam war are not considered benign beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a myth. Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?

Some countries are using Iran as a Aunt Sally to put the blame (for their own faults) on.
This part is just for Americans:
Those of you who say why Iran says "Death to America":
1. 'America' to us means the U.S govt, not the people. How do you assume Iranians to mean "American people" when our media admires Americans for marching and holding up "no war" placards?!
2. The new times don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to gather their girlfriends/boyfriends! Strange. Isn't it?
3. Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's harrowing actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake. Would you?)
4. The U.S gov't helped Saddam devour Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed a million Iranians.
5. America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Chasm and killed 200 passengers for no reason.
6. America places sanctions on Iran, promotes a false perception of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away, and harms our economy, development and credit. To what purpose?

When you call Ahmadinejad a nutcase for what he's said, what do you call Bush for his actions? I skilful it's a good idea to consider what Bush is doing to the world with his wrong decisions and lies. Bush is strong and influencial, but Ahmadinejad is nothing.He's even failed to control the inflation
.
To those who are upset with American hostages taken for 444 days:
1. Firstly, It's interconnected to so many years ago and it's almost a part of history, and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be chaos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy. Aren't they?
2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and had tortured the one who was freed. Now you settle who has the right to be upset with whom. How do you believe in their lies about politics when they hide both the most and the least important things from you considering the fact that public affairs is the world of lies in its nature?!!!

If you like to insist on your theory of attacking Israel, I'll tell you our logical theory: "The importance that Iran attacks Israel, Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth by the U.S and its allies.(Thought this twisted clause is familiar to you) and Iran is far more logical than doing such a stupid thing" So, forget about it.I'm quite sure you distinguish that all the events and lies in the world are a part of a pre-planned scenario by major world-powers (Iran as an important mountains has always been a part of their plans)And the first step is to brainwash people.They excactly know what will happen even 50 years later! I cogitate on Iraq is such a good example.Attacking it with the excuse of removing Seddam while they'd put Seddam there themselves and had supported him for years! The same is unswerving with Al Qaida if you do some research! But in this particular case Iran and the U.S were co-operating in fighting the terrorists in Afghanistan.

When we think of the U.S, we judge of its greatness and its countless "positive points" not its president.When you think of other countries, you think of their presidents or a country as a whole?! No gov't in the world is representative for its people.Try to judge everyone righteously not just by a few things that you find as "negative points".

Isn't it improved for both countries to forget past conflicts and to have peaceful relations? Our two gov'ts are like 10 year old children playing a silly, harsh, rhetorical game. They don't care about hurting people's feelings. They just try to make our two peoples enemies to reach their own goals. We, as the people of these countries, MUST NOT allow these conflics into our hearts. Now, what do you think? You'll have elections soon and we'll have one in 2009.You decent vote for a Democrate and we'll find someone who'd get along with the U.S (Our former pres is a nice bet).Deal?No matter how much they hide this fact, but if Iran and the U.S co-operate with each other, not only the Mid-East crises will be solved but also it'll have a illustrious positive impact on the world.I can't wait to see both nations in peace. It'd be marvelous!
BTW, Did you find my article informative? : )
Thanks for your measure
To Heather: I agree with a lot of what you say.But violating of human rights doesn't belong to Iran.Here's the international website where you can see the contravening of human rights in all countries.Choose the country you want.I read the U.S profile and it was horrifying.In each country the cases are odd.Plz read the same for the U.S and other countries too: http://web.amnesty.org/report2006/usa-summary-eng You're right.In Iran they're connected to hair and tight clothing and stuff.All this doesn't mean that life's bad.It's so coll.How many people would commit illigal sex here?How many would be dressed their hair out?Only a few who here are considered hooligans.The values of each country differer.P.S wearing fashionable clothes doesn't not mean being half naked.Here the mesning of fashion is different.Also, for the rest I've provided so many links as evidence.I have back up for whatever I say.If you're scared of clicking on the links that's not my problem.I've

Salaam, Khoobi !
Fascinating. Loved every item you've mentioned, also the links, loved'em all. I really appreciate the time and effort you've put in this. I'm certain, there're lot of people who will enjoy this and get conversant with a bit about our country. Don't worry about some of these clowns with weired and repugnant responses. There're lot of good Americans who get the points and are comprehensible, however there're lot of fu**heads among them as you can regard in some of the responses who are total jerks and are completely blinded by nationalism and think they're better than every body and every nation!! F**em, not advantage paying attention to those kinds. I came to Iran few years back after 20 years being abroad and loved every Minuit of it. Splurge three months with friends and family and travelled a lot, specially 'SHOMAL'. Amazing time i had and amazing GIRLS! wow, it was stupefying! Tehran was totally changed and lot more modernized. You're definitely on the money, those westerners who don't know Iran, won't conceive how it is. OK, take a chattels care of your self and keep up a good work!

PS. I'm really impressed with your English and writing. Hamah ro beboos!

Don't you think reading an informative long question is better than aswering to lots of ordinary questions?

Mar 18, 2007 by david j | Posted in Other - Society & Culture

I improvise reading this in 5-7 minutes would be better than listening to the news in a lifteime.Plz don't think I'm a very old person.Just 18.A university follower studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.
My question is: what percentage of what I say is acceptable to you?
This article has three parts: 1.Cultural and across the board info 2.music and 3.political, so plz read it from the top to the bottom.
Hi.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I be told that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our administration of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don't like).Thousands of millions of scrupulous rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every sole house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, they wear very fashionable clothes.Maybe it's a kidney of immitation, but still it's got an unique Iranian style.You'll see lots of beauty qeens on the streets that are just like models advertising chic clothes! Most part of their hair is out and they put on to much make up, also wearing scarves is a part of our culture.Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmics (which is bad for our restraint)! People do whatever they wish to and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran.You'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagined before and how the legitimate Iran is! It's wonderful.Everything's so great if you don't take unemployment and air pollution into account. Many things have changed so far.I can't even compare Iran with 5 years ago, let alone comparing it with 30 years ago!!!! After all, exactly 65-70% of Iran's population is considered the new generation (The youth) and they've transformed everything.

Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! Women are overtaking Iran. They're treated very well.They're the winners in most cases: They get into the foremost universities cos they're so clever.They get the best jobs cos they can do jobs much better than men.They've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands buy them extravagant things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to ask them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford, so they'll be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into viewable football stadiums and that's just because IN IRAN, such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.I don't evaluate girls would go there, even if they're allowed to do so.

Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they detail to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and that we're Persian and some Turkish not Arab! And I find it even more perplexing to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very beneficent at making scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more scholarly, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't discover about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions.You don't differentiate that Iranian students and sportsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the once upon a time such as robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest slew of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran

A few weeks ago Iran uncovered the most striking anti-H.I.V medicine and now it's signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single sign on the dotted line of that.What I found instead? "President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" The media are discrimination.They'd put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they would never talk about facts! Some interesting facts:
Iran is the pionier in medicine and genetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (large the treatment for different types of cancer) and the the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The wholly of Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian.One of the best designer of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the beat 3D animators are Iranian.Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in construction dams.The 4th highest tower (Milad tower) in the world is in Tehran (which you can visit in the second link).The back weight-lifter is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians. And as you all be versed, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug and Persian literature, many Persian poets and scientists that are so famous.Persian lifestyle is now westernised and only a little has survived! According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world for foriegners with Dollars of orbit not for us! (Cos our rate is different: one Dollar=about 950 Tomans!) Who do you think is building Dubi?Arabs?No my friends, Iranian architectures, engineers and traders funding them, cos they don't muse on building the same things in Iran would be beneficial for them, Since the media scare tourists away from Iran.There are many other things.And also, Iran is a very independant mountains.It has nearly all the developed industries and technologies and doesn't need other countries to survive! That's why the unfair U.N sanctions don't pest us! The list is endless.
Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working, intelligent, ambitious, not unromantic, not so religious, not so generous, not punctual, impatient, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.

Some people propose b assess, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to take in.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran.Did you comprehend that Iranian pop music has won the prize in France in 2005? All Iranian songs are current pop /Trance/ DJ music.I send them to my American and Canadian small talk friends and they all admit that it's the best music they've ever heard.They specially love the beat.

It's now 2007 and people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!
See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you catch on the media about Iran are true.If you think I've been admiring Iran too much, that's because you'd do the same thing if you were looked down nearly everyday for some mistaken reasons.

I think it's better to clarify some political issues as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with, said in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The media are substantial at putting comments.It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I in the final analysis don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us.For example does verbal defence of Palestinians prime mover them to have a better life?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran. like picking up some precise sensitive phrases from among a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and putting so many bad comments on that.No of sound mind person would take it serious.

First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone.If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? We hate neither Jews nor Americans.They're both enjoyably people.If their media are fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in their shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it as good as everyday.Although ordinary Iranians don't care about world affairs, I've got to say that for us Israel is not equal to Jews! Israel is a govt.Jews are punctilious people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of Iranians.No difference.And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we lack to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?That's so funny. Christians and Jews are both God believers and considerate to us.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least mighty thing. It means that where you come from and what your religion is, are not important to us at all.And I wonder why some Muslem countries think there's a problem between Shiites and Sunnies. It doesn't prosper sense in Iran.

I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? Which logical rule admits that it's logical to say a country is repentant because we THINK / PREDICT that she's going to do something wrong?!!!! Has Iran ever attacked any countries?There's no proof on that.That's even what nuclear intermediation says.Only Iran's oppositions are pulling Iran's leg.What we're doing is legal.What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegitimate and nonsense.Iran is a peaceful country.Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could invade the countries in our neibourhood fitting as what Seddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relationships with all of them.It could be a good example to some countries that just follow their interests.What is absorbing is that the countries which accuse Iran of different things have been, and are still accused of the same things!!! This could be a modern and innovative behaviour of philosophy and logic!

Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a teeny literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel.He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could abide seperate from Palestinians and they both could live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an attack country.While some countries which have nukes are clearly threatening Iran to nuke her! Good, isn't it?

Some say he's said: Holocaust is a lie! again this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so frightful, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all! Over 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not momentous! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 69000000 populace within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nakazaki and vietnam war are not considered benefactor beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a mith.Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?

Obviousely, some countries are using Iran as a martyr to put the blame (their own faults) on Iran.And which country is better than Iran to be a victim?They've made the whole world believe that Iran isn't a placid country and represent false image of Iranians by making insulting movies like "300" .
I grasp Americans don't like these either, but what can they do?They can't control what the media says.I hope someday the media would end all this instead of playing a antipathetic role in the world.

This part is just for Americans who would still argue over unimportant things: Those of you who say why Iran says "Eradication to America": 1.America means the U.S govt not the people 2.The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally tread in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfreids/boyfriends! Eccentric.Isn't it? 3.Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made life for many people hell-fire (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake.right?) 5.The U.S govt helped Seddam to disparagement Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed lots of Iranians 6.America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Breach and killed 200 passengers for no reason 7.It's always botherng Iran by sanctions, displaying false image of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away from Iran and is always injurious to our economy, development and credit 8.It's always despised the Iranians who travel to the U.S at their arrival (even ordinary ones, university students, sportsmen, scientists etc)
To those who are disarranged with American hostages taken for 444 days: 1.It's related to so many years ago and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be cheos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all spirited and healthy.Aren't they? 2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and keeps denying that they're diplomats.Now you select who has the right to be upset with whom.It's exceeded the level of tit for tat.

It's better for both countries to forget about the past conflicts and to have peaceful relations.The two govts are like 10 year old children jumping at each other verbally, but we as the people of these countries MUST NOT have any conflics.You grasp something?All govts are hateful.I just said the above things because it sounds unfair when some Americans talk about 444 gage taking and I keep being silent.So sorry for that.I hope you agree on this one! Now, what do you think?I can't wait to see both nations in peace.It'd be marvelous!

Thanks.

A companionship that believes in God without question or evidence will likewise believe in any crap its political leaders who are in pursuit of their own personal agenda assert as the truth. It is quite obvious that American Republicans want capitalism in Iran so that American companies can realize wealth; and it is quite obvious that Christians want Christianity to dominate the world. And guess what - America is currently run by Christian Republicans, which means their most important objective in life is to eliminate all opposing religions and to institute capitalism across the universe. What currently stands in their way? Non-conforming Eastern societies. "Democracy" is NOT the precise of the Iranian people to reject capitalism, but rather the right of American Christian corporations to invade Iran.

Will you think differently about people and the world 10 minutes later, after reading this?

I expect reading this in 5-10 minutes would be better than listening to the news for a lifteime.Plz don't think I'm a very old person.Just 18.A university schoolchild studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.This article has two parts: 1.Cultural and general info and music 2.partisan info.If you wanna get enlightened and shocked read it from top to bottom.
Hi.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I see that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our guidance of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don't like).Thousands of millions of attentive rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every free house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels had a serious influence on people, they wear very fashionable clothes.Maybe it's a kind-hearted of immitation, but still it's got an unique Iranian style.You'll see lots of beauty qeens on the streets that are just like models advertising in fashion clothes! Most part of their hair is out and they wear a lot of make up, also wearing scarves is a part of our culture.Iran is one of the super-consumers of cosmics (which is bad for our curtness)! People do whatever they wish to and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran.You'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagined before and how the physical Iran is! It's wonderful.Everything's so great if you don't take unemployment, inflation and air pollution into account which I guess are common problems in many other countries. Many things have changed so far.I can't even approximate Iran with 5 years ago, let alone comparing it with 30 years ago!!!! After all, nearly 65-70% of Iran's population is considered the new period (The youth) and they've transformed everything.

Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! Women are overtaking Iran. They're treated very well.They're the winners in most cases: They get into the pre-eminent universities cos they're so clever.They get the best jobs cos they can do jobs much better than men.They've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands buy them priceless things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to ask them a great amount of money according to the law which most husbands cannot afford, so they'll be imprisoned.The only fashion that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's just because in Iran such places are customarily full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing DJ / pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here.I feel dopey for sitting here explaining ordinary things to you.

Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourselves they belong with to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was ruled by those freaks (Taliban).When you think of such things, try to think of the racism in your native land too.I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and that 60% of Iranians are Persian and 30% are Turkish! I find it even more troubled to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media are very gracious at making scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more cultivated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't understand about their discoveries and inventions on TV. For instance this 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions and there are many many KIDS like that.You don't differentiate that Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the media talk about them? They fair can't summerise everything in one word "nuclear", although we're proud of it cos having nuclear energy means a outback is developed.Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran

A few months ago Iran uncovered the most junk anti-H.I.V medicine and it was signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single spur of that.What did I find instead? "President Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!"(The same old confabulation!) The media are injustice.They put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they never talk about facts! Some interesting facts:
Iran is the pionier in drug and genetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (mainly the treatment for out of the ordinary types of cancer) and the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The head of Mars Charge in NASA is Iranian.One of the best designers of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian.Iran is one of the maximum effort countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in building dams and holds records in loads of other things! It's one of the top countries in these fields: bio-technology and nono-technology.The 4th highest fastness in the world (Milad tower) is in Tehran (which you can visit in the second link).51 top universities out of the 100 top universities in the Mid-East are in Iran and they're among some of the top universities of the men as well.The champion weight-lifter is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians and lots of Iranians win nobel prizes especially in medicine field. And as you all know, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug and Persian literature, many Persian poets and scientists that are so popular.Persian culture is now westernised and only a little has survived! According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital municipality in the world for foriegners of course not for us! (Cos our rate is different: one Dollar =about 950 Tomans!) There are many other things.How many pages would you scarcity to describe a country?And also, Iran is an independant country unlike its neighbouring countries.It has nearly all the developed industries and technologies and doesn't desideratum other countries to survive! The list is endless.
Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working for themselve, shiftless in doing their duty well!, intelligent, ambitious, not realistic, not so religious (sadly majority of the young generation is not), not on time, impatient, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.

Some people think, Iran's a uninhabited! lol Iran is a modern country with breathtakingly beautiful nature and lots of historic places to visit.Please take a look at the following links to see if Iran looks like what you assume or not! (You didn't expect it to be like that.Right?)

Some people think music is forbidden in Iran.Did you know that Iranian pop music was chose as the superlative pop music in France in 2005? I guess not.All Iranian songs are current pop /Club-Dance/Trance/ DJ music.I send them to my American and Canadian gossip friends and they all say they're some of the best songs they've ever heard.
Here's a sample of the latest hits.(You didn't expect them to be so catchy.Retaliate for?) I believe in "Express yourself through music and that music is a universal language".

It's now 2007 and people still think about we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!
See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you condone on the media about Iran are true.

Let's clarify some political issues as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with, said in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The media are reputable at putting comments.It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I deep down don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us.For example does verbal defence of Palestinians movement them to have a better life?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran.For admonition they pick up some specific phrases of a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that.No judicious person would take it for granted.

First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone.If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? (Although what we want them is to not to get us into grieve by talking about things that are none of our concern.) We hate neither Jews nor Americans.I love Americans otherwise why would I talk to them?! How would our guys speculation of America, be like them as much as possible and hate it at the same time?! Although ordinary Iranians don't care much about world affairs, I've got to say that for us Israel is not identical with Jews! Israel is a govt.Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the ease of Iranians.No difference.And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?It's so mystifying the way you imagine things and make yourselves believe in your own immaginations! Christians and Jews are both God believers and respectful to us.I wonder why the media like putting words in our lips and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing. It means that where you come from and what your religion is, are not important to us at all.On the contrarily, meeting different people would be so interesting for us! I love the Japanese who come here!

I wonder Iran is a threat to whom. Which proper rule admits that it's logical to say a country is guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that she's going to do something wrong?!!!! And they recapitulate the same "nuclear" tosh over and over and brain wash people! News headlines: "We won't grant Iran to gain nuclear weapons"!!! Has Iran ever attacked any countries?No.Has it developed any nukes?No!That's what atomic agency says.Only Iran's oppositions are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is of no credit.It's just based on political conflicts.What we're doing is permitted.What they ask us to do (ignoring our international rights) is illegal and nonsense.Iran is a peaceful country.Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could well invade the countries in our neibourhood just like what Seddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relationships with all of them.It could be a propitious example to some countries that just follow their interests.What is interesting is that the countries which accuse Iran of different things have been, and are still accused of the same things!!! This is a latest and innovative form of philosophy and logic!

Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his dialect and that why he's said this at all?You know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! He wasn't talking about destroying Israel.He was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could breathe seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally.Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an contentious country.

Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth! again this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so disagreeable, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all! Over 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not noted! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 69000000 denizens within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nakazaki and vietnam war are not considered man beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a mith.Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?

Obviousely, some countries are using Iran as a schlemiel to put the blame (their own faults) on Iran.And which country is better than Iran to be a victim?They've made the whole world believe that Iran isn't a peaceable country and represent false image of Iranians by making insulting movies like "300" . Anyone saying that it was not for national reasons is wrong.
I know Americans don't like these either, but what can they do?They're not responsible for controlling what the media say.I hope someday the media would end all this in preference to of playing a negative role in the world.

This part is just for Americans who would still argue over unimportant things: Those of you who say why Iran says "Dying to America": 1.America means the U.S govt not the people 2.The new generation don't say such things and if some of them occasionally stride in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to meet their girlfreids/boyfriends! Unaccustomed.Isn't it? 3.Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's terrible actions which has made existence for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake.right?) 5.The U.S gov't helped Seddam to destroy Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed lots of Iranians 6.America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Void and killed 200 passengers for no reason 7.It's always botherng Iran by sanctions, displaying false image of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away from Iran and is always dangerous to our economy, development and credit 8.It's always despised the Iranians who travel to the U.S at their arrival (even ordinary ones, university students, sportsmen, scientists etc)
To those who are topsy-turvy with American hostages taken for 444 days: 1.Firstly, It's related to so many years ago and almost a part of history and don't omit that when there's a revolution, there'd be cheos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy.Aren't they? 2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and keeps denying that they're diplomats.Now you adjudicate who has the right to be upset with whom.It's exceeded the level of tit for tat.

Isn't it better for both countries to forget about the past conflicts and to have peaceful relations?The two govts are like 10 year old children playing a tactic by harsh rhetoric.They don't care about hurting people's feeling.They just try to show that the people are enemies of each other to achieve their own goals. We as the people of these countries MUST NOT have any conflics.You skilled in something?All govts are hateful.I just said the above things because it sounds unfair when some Americans talk about 444 pledge taking and I keep being silent.I hope you agree on this one! Now, what do you think?I can't wait to see both nations in peace.It'd be marvelous! Would this happen in less than 2 years?You recollect what I mean!
Remember that: The sea is deeper.You don't always have to see the surface of it.
Plz whenever you have time, find and read an article about "ethnocentrism".Shrewd the meaning of this term is not enough.After reading about it, you'll feel a noticable positive change in your attitude towards different people! Guaranteed!

Thanks for your conditions.

I must take this was pretty long, but you kept me intrigued. I am soon turning 17 and am very interested in world relations and civics. At first, I was scared to believe what you were saying. I don't like to be suckered in to what people say, particularly such things as the media. However, as I kept reading, you rightly sounded genuine.

I've always wondered what a country's citizens thought of another country's citizens. I despise the fact that we counterfeit our feelings of another country on the people running it. I don't know you. You don't know me. I have no right to hate you until you do something to me personally.

I do believe that the media here in the U.S. varnish what people say, whether they be celebrities or political leaders. I don't think it's right and I don't think it's fair. All Americans aren't frivolous. All teenagers like myself aren't stupid. We non-ignorant Americans can see that there is something wrong with the way foreign relations and domesic issues are handled. I abide sorry for us.

It's good to know Iran is much better than what we are told everyday. I feel rather inferior knowing there's a kid who's created 72 inventions. :-) However, it's complimentary to know. I'm glad to hear about Iran from an Iranian. Maybe I'll come visit...

How many people think that I speak logically and with reason and proof?

Jun 05, 2007 by Peace-seeker | Posted in Politics

You're not gonna find this bumf anywhere else.You'll find some really important information here as well.I try to speak logically and with reason and I expect logical answers without any prejudice.
I conjecture that if you spend 10 minutes reading this essay, you will be better informed than if you listen to a lifetime's worth of Major Media talk. This article has two parts:
1. Cultural and general info
2. Political info.
Note: I've explained everything.Any answers before reading the whole constituent will prove to be wrong.

Hi. I'm a 19 Iranian who has spent his life in Iran.I study English.When I chat with people from other countries, I am shocked to see how absolutely wrong their ideas are about Iran. I wrote this article in an attempt to help correct those ideas.
The first thing America, and the West in loose, accuses our government of is that we don't allow personal freedoms. Actually, Iranians disobey laws they don't like as much as anyone.There are only a few restrictions.It's cool over here. People here do whatever they thrust to! Many strict rules in other countries don't even exist in Iran. Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, may be a nightmare for us and vise versa.Some of Iran's laws are based on OUR learning. You look at our country from "your own point of view"! In Iran every single house has a sattelite dish. Sattelite tube has a serious influence on our people, and Iranians wear very fashionable clothing. Maybe it is a kind of imitation, but we still have our own unique Iranian design. A visitor might wonder if this is a country or a fantasy pageant of beauty queens! Almost women wear half their their curls out, and make-up and fashionable clothing are everywhere.I ignore a few fuddy-duddies though!
You would be surprised to see the difference between what you imagine and what Iran unquestionably is!
In my view, everything is great, if you ignore unemployment, inflation and air pollution. Also, you can't compare Iran today with the Iran you recognize. The Shah and the Iatollah Khomini are both some 30 years in the past! 70% of Iran's population is a new generation (Under age 30) without the biases of the erstwhile and we've transformed everything.
Ever heard Iranian girls are terrific?I've collected some photos showing Iranian girls! Look! Poeple are like this!

http://i10.tinypic.com/4clk3us.jpg
http://tinypic.com/2d0nfao.jpgMost of allEnough proof?
Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran. But in my view, women are overrunning the place. They're very civil, and they've been the winners in so many cases: They get into the best universities because they're very smart. And they get the best jobs because they can do so many of them better than men. They've got Islamic rights, and that has in some cases made it intractable for men to marry them, because husbands are supposed to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women have the right to ask a great amount of money (called Mehr) according to the law, which most husbands cannot give, so men will be imprisoned.The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into public football stadiums and that's because such places are full of uncivil guys. They do anything from taking part in rallies to singing pop songs.Anything! I've put a sample here.
Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery. Have you ever asked yourselves how many years ago that footage associated to? Are they balck and white or colourful? But in one case (related to many years ago) the thing that had happened was incest not adultery. Most of those footages are from Afghanistan which was ruled by freaks (Taliban). What particularly makes you think women are treated differently?The way they were/are treated in Saudi Arabia? Try to think of the racism in your wilderness too. Each country has its own problems.
Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are --------- SEPERATE COUNTRIES! --------- Even within Iran, 60% of us are Persian and 30% are Turkish! Iran is a conventional country like any other in the world. The Media are very good at creating really scary stuff: "IRAN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!!" "IRAN Private!!!" Some of that garbage would be enough to scare ME away! But in truth, Iranians are far more open-minded than you have been led to believe.
There are lots of Iranians today who are geniuses and scientists, and are all under age 25. For as it happens a 17 year old boy has invented 72 amazing inventions. Every year a special scientific compeition is held here and students compile to show off hundreds of inventions. Iranian students and sportsmen win gold and silver medals in different competitions in the everybody all the time, in robotics, biology, maths, physics, sports, anything! Why don't the Media talk about them? Please don't summarize our nation and sense of values with the single word "nuclear". Although we're proud of this achievement because we believe that having nuclear spirit means that a country is developed.Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this prepared? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran


A few months ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine. I searched for tidings of that on the internet, but there was no single sign of it.Now, I found it among the English news: "The medicine is produced from herbs using nano technology" The tie-up to read about it is: http://www.payvand.com/news/07/feb/1032.html
The Media are unjust. They never talk about facts!
Some spellbinding facts:
Iran is a pioneer in medicine and genetics, and Iranian surgeons have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects, and many diseases (above all the treatment for different types of cancer) and the best brain and heart surgeons are Iranian. The head of the Mars Duty in NASA is Iranian. One of the best designers of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian. Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian. Iran is one of the surpass countries in counter-engineering. Holds the second place in building dams and in loads of other things! It's one of the top countries in bio-technology and nano-technology. The 4th highest stronghold in the world (Milad tower) is in Tehran (visit it at this link from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporealization:Milad.jpg ). 51 of the top 100 universities in the Mid-East are in Iran, and they're among the top universities of the world as well.

Iran has nearly all the industries and technologies found in 'developed' countries. Oh, and we have four seasons! We get a lot of snow and there are skating rinks! lol The directory is endless.

And so on and on!

It's now 2007 and most people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels!
Let's simplify some political issues as well: Some of the Americans think that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! The Media are wares at putting lying comments out there. I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about things that have got nothing to do with us. The thing is that they once in a while make some statements that the media would make them controversial topics to interest its viewers! For example they pick up some specific phrases of a protracted speech (without refering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and put so many bad comments on that.
First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone. If our government complains about some bigotry going on in the world, it's not bad, is it? (Although what we want from them is to shut up and not get us into trouble by talking about things that are none of our concern) We hate neither Jews nor Americans. How would our guys hallucinate of America, want to be like them as much as possible, and hate them at the same time?! SECRET: Iranians are the only people in the Mid-East that are pro-American! Being agaisnt the U.S policies is a dissimilar story!I've got to say that for Iran, Israel is not equal with Jews! Israel is a gov't. Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our not far off and they live just like the rest of Iranians. (20,000 Jews and lots of Christians live here! Iran's disparate!) And two of Iran's parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force others to convert to Islam? Have you ever found a Muslim knocking at your door asking you to do so?
Christians and Jews are both God-believers and courteous to us. In Iran, religion is one of the least important factors. Where you come from and what your religion is are not important to us at all.
I wonder who Iran is really a warning to. Is it logical to say someone's guilty because we THINK / PREDICT that he's going to do something wrong? And they repeat the same "nuclear weapons" tosh over and over and brainwash people! Punishment! It's "nuclear energy". Besides, how many "nuclear weapons" do they have themselves? Hundreds of thousands? Has Iran ever attacked any countries? No. Has it developed any nukes? No! That's what atomic agency says. Only Iran's opponents are pulling Iran's leg and what they say is just based on political conflicts. What we're doing is rightful. Iran is a peaceful country. Why? It's the regional super-power and if she wanted, she could easily invade the countries in our neibourhood straight like what Saddam did to our country, but as you see Iran has peaceful relations with all of them.
Some people say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! the aspect is that he exactly said: "The Imam "Khomeyni" said this regime occupying Jerusalem must vanish from the era of time."They've only told you this phrase not the whole thing and it's mistranslated intentionally. Besides, they've been saying such things for a long together.It's their habit.Here's an article."Wiped off the map....The roumor of the century.Read how the media and the U.S newspapers have twisted it into a controvertioal thesis. http://www.antiwar.com/orig/norouzi.php?articleid=11025
Now you see that you were wrong.Iran has always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country.

Some say he's said: "The Extermination is a myth!" Again, this is a single phrase taken from a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so. If 6,000,000 Jews were killed, that's unbearable, but 300,000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all? Over 650,000 Iraqi people are killed and that's not impressive?! When Fox News simply says that America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing Iran's population of 69,000,000 within two weeks, it's OK and no one says they're portentous other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News website) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima & Nagasaki and the Vietnam war are not considered hominid beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a myth. Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind? I'd conjecture people by their ACTIONS rather than by what they say / their religion / race / culture and the colour of their skin!

Some countries are using Iran as a dupe to put the blame (for their own faults) on.
This part is just for Americans:
Those of you who say why Iran says "Death to America":
1. 'America' to us means the U.S govt, not the people. How do you foresee Iranians to mean "American people" when our media admires Americans for marching and holding up "no war" placards?!
2. The new epoch don't say such things and if some of them occasionally march in the streets that's because some of the stupid guys enjoy making noise and they mainly go out there to undergo their girlfriends/boyfriends! Strange. Isn't it?
3. Such mottos are not just said in Iran and as you know whatever you hear is a response to the U.S govt's intolerable actions which has made life for many people hell (You wouldn't deny that attacking countries is a mistake. Would you?)
4. The U.S gov't helped Saddam revile Iran and I hope you know which country gave Iraq biological weapons which killed a million Iranians.
5. America hit an Iranian airplane over the Persian Bay and killed 200 passengers for no reason.
6. America places sanctions on Iran, promotes a false figure of speech of Iran and Iranians, scares tourists away, and harms our economy, development and credit. To what purpose?

When you call Ahmadinejad a nutcase for what he's said, what do you call Bush for his actions? If you unsealed your eyes, it's c;ear who is dangerous.I mean it's a good idea to consider what Bush is doing to the world with his wrong decisions and lies. Bush is authoritative and influencial, but Ahmadinejad is nothing.He's even failed to control the inflation.
To those who are upset with American hostages taken for 444 days:
1. Firstly, It's coupled to so many years ago and it's almost a part of history, and don't forget that when there's a revolution, there'd be chaos and people may do things that they should not, moreover they're all alive and healthy. Aren't they?
2.The U.S has arrested Iranian diplomats in Iraq and had tortured the one who was freed. Now you arbitrate who has the right to be upset with whom. How do you believe in their lies about politics when they hide both the most and the least important things from you considering the fact that diplomacy is the world of lies in its nature?!!!
Final word: "Don't accuse Iran of something it hasn't done.Neither has it developed nukes nor does it have a yen for to invade anywhere.Currently, the world sees who is ivading other countries.One needs to clean his own closet before thinking about cleaning others'.Jibe consent to?"
If you're too stubborn to stick to your groundless theory of attacking Israel, I'll tell you our logical theory: "The consideration that Iran attacks Israel, Iran will be wiped off the face of the earth by the U.S and its allies.(Thought this twisted proverb is familiar to you) and Iran is far more logic than doing such a stupid thing" I'm quite sure you know that all the events and lies in the times a deliver are a part of a pre-planned scenario by major world-powers (Iran as an important country has always been a part of their plans)And the first step is to brainwash people.They excactly discern what will happen even 50 years later! I think Iraq is such a good example.Attacking it with the excuse of removing Seddam while they'd put Seddam there themselves and had supported him for years! The same is proper with Al Qaida if you do some research! But in this particular case Iran and the U.S were co-operating in fighting the terrorists in Afghanistan.
One more thing: When we assume of the U.S, we think of its greatness and its countless "positive points" not its president.When you think of other countries, you over recall of their presidents or a nation as a whole?! No gov't in the world is representative for its people.Try to judge everyone righteously not just by a few things that you find as "opposing negatively points".
Isn't it better for both countries to forget past conflicts and to have peaceful relations? Our two gov'ts are like 10 year old children playing a damn-fool, harsh, rhetorical game. They don't care about hurting people's feelings. They just try to make our two peoples enemies to reach their own goals. We, as the people of these countries, MUST NOT allow these conflics into our hearts. Now, what do you think? You'll have elections soon and we'll have one in 2009.You honest vote for a Democrate and we'll find someone who'd get along with the U.S (Our former pres is a nice bet).Deal?No matter how much they hide this fact, but if Iran and the U.S co-operate with each other, not only the Mid-East crises will be solved but also it'll have a talented positive impact on the world.I can't wait to see both nations in peace. It'd be marvelous!
Thanks for your time

OmG don't you text and paste this EVERY day? Are you ever going to stop with your propaganda? The first time I read it, I tried to keep an open mind. Then I saw that you posted it again and again and again. Apparently you are just trying to spread your propaganda.
