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...

Iran's political system simplified

May be one of the most misunderstood countries of the world today is Iran. Reading and hearing reports of Iran, written by mostly uninformed reporters, whose knowledge of Iran limits itself in 2 meals consumed at some Persian restaurant in some big city. Furthermore, their self-assertions sometimes crosses the barriers of ignorance and as a reader one feels irritated and frustrated.

Remembering Pirouz Nahavandi (Abu LouLou)

Image
Pirouz Nahavandi was a high ranking Persian (Iranian) military commander. He was taken captive in Nahavand during the Arab invasion. He was enslaved by an Arab called " Mughira" who became the governor of the city of "Basra"(Iraq today) . Pirouz is known amongst the Arabs as "Firouz" since the Arabic language does not have the letter "P" in their alphabet, Pirouz happened to be quite a craftsman, and thus a source of income for his jailer, so it wasn't long before he made it to the Arab elite circles, namely "Omar" their leader, or as they call them Caliph. There are many stories about Pirouz Nahavandi and about what happened and what he said and not said, but fact is the Arabs always tried to write history in a manner in which they (Arabs) were seen as liberators and any attempt to resist or fight them, would be ridiculed and trivialized. One really has to put him or herself in the position of Pirouz, a proud, capable father an...
