New Facts on Iran !




According to the final results of the 2011 National Population and Housing Census of Iran, the country’s population has reached 75,149,669 people. According to the census data, men constitute 50.4 percent of the country’s population, and women account for 49.6 percent, meaning 102 men to 100 women.

Furthermore, the rural population constitutes 28.5 percent of the total population of the country, and urban population accounts for 71.4 percent. The population of the country has more than doubled since 1976, when it was 33.7 million people, Tehran, with a population of 12 million, is the most crowded province of the country, and Ilam, with a population of 557,599, is the most sparsely populated province.

According to the published census, there are 1.6 million empty homes in the country. The number of cities in the country has increased from 201 in 1956 to 1331 in 2011, eight of which are metropolises whose populations are more than one million,

On the religion of Iran’s population, it said that the number of Muslims has increased from 70 million in 2006 to 74.68 million in 2011, and the population of Christians has risen from 109,000 in 2006 to 117,000 in 2011, and the number of Jews has decreased since 2006. (On this specific statistics we must consider the Bahai faith which is not represented in the census as a religion, and that it does (I speculate)number around 100,000 and this number is not verifiable)

The population of Afghan immigrants to Iran has increased from 1.2 million people in 2006 to 1.452 million in 2011 and the number of Iraqi immigrants has risen from 44.09 thousand to 51.5 thousand.

Some more interesting information purposely ignored by western media are women's University entries in Iran, which is around 60%. Furthermore life expectancies have risen in Iran during the the last few years to over 72 for men and 75 for women. There are many more interesting features in the statistics but apparently Iranian authorities seem to be holding the more sensitive ones back for obvious reasons (US/UK/Israel troika)

Here some clips on Iran from Iran and as seen not much of a difference towards other states of the world, except that is is not edited beyond recognition and relayed by some Murdock sponsored station.

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T

A Dangerous Woman !

UK’s Independent wrote , “The leader of Germany’s main right-wing anti-migrant party has caused political uproar by insisting that the country’s border police should be authorised to “ shoot at refugees” trying to enter the country illegally. Frauke Petry , the 40-year-old leader of Germany’s (a mother of four who recently left her pastor husband for a neo-nazi boyfriend) once merely Euro sceptic but now increasingly xenophobic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, made her controversial demands after addressing a political meeting in Hanover at the weekend. “Police must stop migrants crossing illegally from Austria,” Ms Petry told the Mannheimer Morgen newspaper. “And, if necessary, use firearms. That is what the law says. (actually she is dead wrong on the law issue) ” She added: “I don’t want this either, but the use of armed force is there as a last resort.” Her remarks were the most extreme political response so far by a substantial political figure to mounting publ

Vaccinating Egypt !

This once cradle of an unparalleled civilization, the land in which its scientists and mathematicians, its thinkers and inventors, used the through generations of incestuous intermarriages, genetically inferior Pharaohs and their manipulability, and made some of the longest-lasting, unique and enigmatic monuments, in the history of mankind. We should also not forget the Egyptian culture, after its Islamisation, which was not of lesser importance. Their Universities and philosophical centres were all magnets for all regional cultures and an inspiration for generations throughout centuries for peoples beyond its borders. Egypt’s ups and downs in history, have been fairly moderate, comparing it to other nations, one seems to get the impression that it all had its use for the Egyptian culture. The only deficit an observer might detect here is their inability to adopt positive and useful cultural features from their so-called cultural invaders, which due to its geo-political situation happ
