Born 1949 in Isfahan into a well to do family, his father a jeweler supported his art and even profited from his sons talent in designing new pieces for his work. As time went by, he became quite well known in Isfahan, for his distinctive fine style in combining the traditional miniature with his personal touch. In 1967, he went to Tehran and joined the Faculty of fine arts at the Tehran University where he mastered "Visual Arts". He then went on to Europe and stayed in different cities like Paris, Rome and Venice where he not only introduced his work but absorbed much of the collected art in these places.His loyalty to Iranian art brought him back to Iran and in 1978 became a professor at the University of Isfahan.His studies and research in Iranian traditional art and architecture are considered phenomenal. Underneath I have embedded some of his work for you to get an idea.. .

It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either ...

With regard to 9/11, one is not sure, since when these indispensable doubts started to take hold, maybe it is because one is so used to being lied to, that one starts to assume automatically the official explanations as a prefabricated lie.

They were moving in to change and implement the new world order and it did not matter the least, who the "face" of it all was. Facts, does not always lead to the truth, and one must learn to distinguish...

Ali Shariati, was born in Sabzevar/Iran in November 1933. His father was the founder of an Islamic center in Mashhad/Iran and was heavily involved with the Iranian National Front movement for the Nationalization of Iran's Oil industry. That probably laid the cornerstone of Ali Shariati's political activism, he became a teacher in the early 50's and experienced his first arrest in 1953 for joining the National Front and taking part in a demonstration objecting to the overthrow of Dr Mossadegh. He graduated in 1955 and moved to France, where he studied Sociology at the University of Paris. Dr Ali Shariati was by all definitions, a political activist and judging from his biography, a humanist with strong "Shia" Islamic tendencies. His unprejudiced approach towards different, distinguished philosophical directions, combined with his social and cultural background gave him an explicit view of how Iran could be, should the people of his country decide to live up to t...
