I just heard Googoosh's new album. Apart from the name (Zartosht) which
tried to be offensive to the Islamic Republic in a subtle way, I found the
lyrics flat and just mourning (zekr-e mosibat). It is amazing that someone
can live for two decades in that country and not get why a nation endures so
much pain and sums it all up in total despair. It also shows what kind of
bravery we are dealing with from some who stayed behind which resembles more
like what Kafka called the bravery of a cockroach that cannot be chased out
of the kitchen.

Moron,
it seems so easy for you to turn tables around and act like the poor little
puppy who's been beaten wihtout a cause or reason. Put down the prozac so your
memory can function again, and read back your post to yourself so maybe you can
understand the disrespect you threw at Googoosh and Zarathushtra when you had no
cause to.

Abodli joon, the people used the celrgy. The gave them a rope hoping that
the clergy are men of cloth and won't abuse this rope. But the clergy DID
abuse the rope and at the end they WILL be hung on it. This REPUBLIC you
talk about is NOT REPUBLIC. What the hell kind of a republic is it when the
absolute Ruler is NOT elected. Get real. This is monaarchy of the Mullahs.
Tha Shah is now the Leader and the prime minister is called President. It is
obvious that you hope Persian Nationalism and pride to be dead. I am betting
my dozAree that you are an Arab (not that there is anything wrong with that)
So it is understandable how you would feel. But I assure you the vast
majority of Iranians DO NOT feel like you when it comes to wishing Iranian
Nationalism death.

Who are you? So nobody can say the lyrics on the album is flat and they try
to sell it using zartosht? What are you talking about? Is this the kind of
democracy you are dreaming for the world???? Or your petty politics has
blinded you to the point of buying any crap as long as it is offensive to
IRI????

Well, there has been an "offense": 21 years of
solitude for a mere Iranian singer.

It depends on how good you are at 'figuring' :)

my petty politics? Why don't you talk of your petty politics that kill hundreds
of thousands of people whi simply disagree. If you listened to the song, it
merely talks about the freedom to sing in a land where Zartosht sand 37oo eyars
ago, it is obviously an insecure, fanatic mind that could take offense at such a
simple message. It's like everything else in society, if you don't like it,
don't buy it. I hate rap but that doesn't mean I'm going to start a campaign of
propaganda or elimination of people hwo suscribe to their ideas!

I do not wish persian nationalism's death. That Pahlavi version of it is
dead. I cannot help it if you cannot see the difference between before 22
Bahman and after either. What I witnessed in Iran was the emergence of a
new kind of nationalism that not only enabled us to defend ourselves against
Iraq and all the civilised world that supported it but at the same time
inspired so many of our young people to sacrifice their lives for it. Our
nation has paid dearly for defying the super power. After all a thriving
nationalism cannot stand by while the nation is trampled by its enemies...

The Pahlavis weren't nationalists. No true nationalist would let a Mullah
choose the name of his "valee'ahd". Visit Farahpahlavi.org and you will see
she is trying to tell us how she is related to clergy and Imam Hossein. the
nationalism that you see in Iran today is a result of 22 years of IRI
attempt at killing all things Persian. Because of that and abuse in the name
of Islam more Iranians today resent and abhore all things Arab than at any
other time in recent history.

>you cannot see the difference between before 22 Bahman and after either.
What I witnessed in

before that date people thought of Islam as religion of god. After it people
came to realize Islam is a Pan Arabist chain of slavery around their neck
and a tool abused by Mullahs.

The ONLY enemy Iran has today are the clergy who are foreigners taking 60
million pople hostage.

Probably not but we certainly weren't stoning women and cutting hands. IMHO
if one can not recognize the vrius that has taken over the body of Iran then
there is no cure for the sick lady. I have no problem with ARabs and have
many good Arab friends. My problem is with the Tokhme Arab inside us. That
is the virus that needs to be liminated.

No CTG jAN, Blam eit on years of too saree khordan be daste AKhoond. I
assure you Iran is as good a candidate for fighting Islam as Andeles was
before it became Spain.

Arabs and their fellow Turk barbarians took that away, by burning our
books, our sceince and knowledge, jsut so that following generations
would become illiterate and forced to read arabic and the Koran (Qutaiba
Ibn Muslim's policy). It's about time we as a people start understanding
that we are still a nation under siieg.
I don't understand how we are all gung ho about ousting the British and
Soviets as well as Aermican political influence but when it comes to
Arabs, it's a sensitive issue for so many of you guys.Why can't the be
touched, same as other foreigners who have tried to fuck our land and
people over?
