An Iranian looking at Iran as a foreigner…

Ashamed

By Kamangir • Oct 29th, 2005 • Category: Iran

In an answer to Ganji’s wife, Montazeri states, “as a help to win this revolution, I am ashamed of what being done to you in this regime”. I was just wondering, can I see the time when you search for “ashamed” in Google and you see heads of Iranian state occupying the first 100 results?



Ahmadinejadism

By Kamangir • Oct 28th, 2005 • Category: Iran

They just wanted this to make sure we are all terrorists. Hey! Is there anybody out there? I am in no sense in favor of this stupid guy! Hey! Iran is not equal to Ahmadinajad, though there is some kind of Ahmadinejadisme in all of us.



Serial-Car-Burning!

By Kamangir • Oct 28th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I had heard of kinds of serials like serial-killing, but nothing about serial-car-burning! It seems that the two guys shown above have some motivation for that. Read the whole story here.
Though, there is another kind of serial-something in Iran, i.e. serial-problem-maker Ahmadinejad.



We are on the news!

By Kamangir • Oct 27th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Why are we just sitting there, letting this stupid guy destroying everything about Iran? I am specially talking to those millions of people who elected him. Isn’t it time to start to criticize ourselves for this mess? I am ashamed of being a citizen of the country whose president is such an idiot. When will [...]



Collection of Islamic Material

By Kamangir • Oct 26th, 2005 • Category: Iran

There is a nice collection of Islamic material here. I liked the Books section. Harun Yahya is described by one of the books included in the website as:
The author, who writes under the pen-name Harun Yahya,was born in Ankara in 1956. He studied arts at Istanbul’s Mimar Sinan University, and philosophy at IstanbulUniversity. Since the [...]



Special…

By Kamangir • Oct 24th, 2005 • Category: Iran

A nice photo from Mehr news agency. Just for those who are not familiar with Iran: There are special lanes in major streets of Tehran, from which only busses and emegency cars can pass. Also, there are special courts in Iran for members of clergy.



Does God Exist?

By Kamangir • Oct 21st, 2005 • Category: Iran

“Does God Exist?” This is the title of a debate we participated in. There were roughly around 1,500 people there. I remembered days of high school, when we couldn’t stand funny statements of our religions teacher, and he called the principal in. I remember Mr. Fazli, the nice man which was also our mathematics teacher. [...]



No Comment

گفتم :مادرجان من شنيده ام كه شما را اين جنها يك مرتبه به مشهد برده اند.گفت :بله آنها در جوانى در آن اوائلى كه با آنها ارتباط پيدا كرده بودم مرا به مشهد بردند.گفتم :من مى خواهم قصّه را از زبان خودت بشنوم .گـفـت :بـله ، يـك شـب بـچـّه ام را خـوابـانـده بـودم شب زمستانى [...]



Rules Which Make Us Lose.

By Kamangir • Oct 20th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I was just reading BBC news about the richest people in the world. See here for a list of the richest people in UK. Also, see here for a list of a the richest people of the whole world. The nice part for me was:
خليلی و اميديار تنها نامهای ايرانی اند که در سراسر فهرست [...]



God and Mosques

By Kamangir • Oct 20th, 2005 • Category: Iran

In Tsunami time they were telling about God’s attitude to save mosques from damage. It seems that in recent earthquake he has been so busy, neglecting the mosques. The image is from CNN.



Get Uinted With …

By Kamangir • Oct 18th, 2005 • Category: Iran

A key figure in right parties asks Ahmadinejad directly to make it clear, whether or not he seems his government to be backed by the Great Mahdi (see). This is a few days after a close ally of president talks about him as a kind of holiness (see). Then a moderate right newspaper asks left [...]



Virtual Religion

By Kamangir • Oct 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

مرقــد مطهر حضرت امام رضا(ع) قبله گاه دل هاى مشتاق و عاشقان دلداده آن حضرت در سراسر جهان است.شيدادلان كوى دوست با تحمّل مشقت هاى فراوان به زيارت بارگاه نورانى آن امام مى شتابنـد و گــاهى در خلوت لحظات ، چنان شوق زيارت بى تابشان مى كند كه آرزو مى كنند ايكاش مى توانستند [...]



Addicted to …

By Kamangir • Oct 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

When you are addicted you do not have to think much about the world. When you screw things up, because of addiction, you say to yourself, it was not so important. People may talk to you about the silliness of addiction, but you are sure they do not understand it. At least, when injecting drug [...]



Education: A Fashion or A Necessity?

By Kamangir • Oct 16th, 2005 • Category: Iran

At the first days of Iranian revolution, many top politicians believed and asserted that expertise is not an important conditions for people responsible for official affairs, even for engineers and doctors. What they assumed to be really necessary was loyalty and devotion to what they assumed to be the aims of the revolution. And they [...]



An Article from loor.ir.

By Kamangir • Oct 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

اتفاقا دوره مغول عصر شکوفایی هنر و عرفان و علم سرزمین ما بوده است و جالب است که بسیاری از تاریخ نویسان گرچه همواره در مقدمه رساله خویش از هجوم ددمنشانه مغول سخن رانده اند، در ادامه به نقش بی نظیر ایشان در بالندگی تمدن ایرانی اشاره کرده اند.
پس از خرابکاری اولیه هنر معماری ایرانی [...]



Cabinet of …

By Kamangir • Oct 15th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I propose to to not to call Ahmadinejad’a cabinet the cabinet of lovemaking (مهرورزی) anymore but to call it the cabinet of experts. I really miss Iran these days, our country is getting full of experts nowadays. Don’t agree with me? Read these:

Minister of Health is an outstanding expert in timing of sex (see).
Minister of [...]



Talented Minds

By Kamangir • Oct 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I was working on a very hard mathematical problem and after about two weeks I solved it .Though, I am not sure that the proof is completely correct, yet! Then, I saw this article. At the exact moment I realized that there are minds seriously talented than mine’s. The whole text is copied from here. [...]



Internet vs. Truth

By Kamangir • Oct 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Internet is a very strange media. Full of information, though mostly inaccurate. Search for سنگسار (stoning) in Google (this is the link). You will see this picture repeatedly shown in the results,

the problem is that this not a real scene, just a photograph from a movie talking about stoning (see).



Let Those Who Can’t See Get Blind تا كور شود هر آنكه نتواند ديد

By Kamangir • Oct 13th, 2005 • Category: Iran

Iraninans live in a real democracy. Our version of democracy is so transparent that the president gives his orders to his ministers through websites close to him (see). Also, look at the comments of readers there and also here 1 and 2. Isn’t it a bit strange? As a comment in here states,
تا كور شود [...]



Funny Webpage

By Kamangir • Oct 12th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I was just looking at a Persian website. My less than five minute surfing resulted into two documents:

An interview with an Iranian Gay (see). I doubt Iranian Police cares for Gays this much! For example see this sentence:

امير ادامه Ù…ÛŒ دهد “آنها به محل سکونتم رفته Ùˆ کامپيوترم را ضبط کردند Ùˆ در آن عکسهای [...]



One Thousand Mega Bytes

They are learning about the new world, though, they do not make very good students.
Dorri Najaf Abadi (general public prosecuter of iran) says (see here for the full story),
دري نجف‌آبادي تصريح كرد: وقتي به دادستاني آمدم و ديدم كه پرونده‌اي براي صدام نداريم خيلي متأثر شدم لذا با توجه به اين‌كه معتقدم دادستاني به عنوان [...]



Living, not Fighting

By Kamangir • Oct 12th, 2005 • Category: Iran

There are news from Iran, more and more. Ministry of culture forbids women workers from being at work after 6PM “they have families to care for” (see). The president bans reporters from attending the special committee on corruption “we won’t bother you any more” (see). This committee was presumed to be a beginning to put [...]

No Comments.



Ramadan for Others!

By Kamangir • Oct 11th, 2005 • Category: Iran

I wrote the following lines this September, but I did not post it.
“I had heard of a political institution called Mojahedin before. But I had never heard of their deep silliness! They have their own city! The question is, where the hell is this city built? How many people leave there? Just take a look [...]



The Armageddon…
