George Orwell, revolution and Animal Farm, Iran, revolutioln and Mullahs.
They are the epitomes of hypocrisy. It is the true nature of the dressed in divine cloths group of rulers in Iran. So inhuman and dishonest, untruthful and blatant, yet self-justifying, self-interested and of course self-glorifying, that no human attribute is fully able to describe these twisted, freak and hypocritical creatures.
When I was very young and laden with the will of understanding and acquiring the ways of self-realization and the formation of the human thought , observation and relationship, a friend of mine gave me a book as a present. He said to me : ” Although reading such books is not illegal in this country, but you keep it in secret and do not talk about it to anyone because Islamic regime is very sensitive to these kind of materials.” The title of the book was ”Animal Farm” and when I read it for the third time, I realized why my old friend ( who was a retired teacher and a man of knowledge and understanding) believed that such books could not be so interesting for the Islamic regime and its dishonest Mullahs.
The story made me feel a resonance of a bitter human cry and yell that was looming from a dark space somewhere far, far beyond sorrow , regret and ressentiment, in my heart and in my mind. The words equity, equality, honour and dignity were shaped into big chunks of mud in my mind, as I tried to find what real implications they had to impart. I was sunk and overwhelmed by the effects that the message within the story left on my mind.
As a vigorous teenager, in love with every moment of life, I was very keen to get hold of every passing moment and make out its message. In other words, life for me was like a beautiful collection of meaningful and creative challenges. It seemed to me like a high mountain to climb and get multiplied and elevated by any pace taken towards the summit. But my imagination of life was completely overshadowed by the story of ”Animal Farm”. My beautiful and transparent picture of life, was turned into an illusive and obscure portrait of doubt, hesitation and uncertainty; it seemed to me like a mountain with no summit, to climb and get exhausted and diminished.The Islamic revolution seemed to me like an incredible and unblemished copy of the revolution in ”Animal Farm”. The thoughts, theories and the general philosophy behind the Islamic revolution seemed to me unbelievably akin to those of ”Animal Farm’s”
The Islamic revolutionists were supposed to secure the justice and equality that they believed had been skewed and violated by the Shah and his regime; and of course they were supposed to restore the so-called looted virtue and morality of the Iranians! And in all, they were supposed to be the embodiment of all kind of blessings for the Iranian people!
In ”Animal Farm” written by George Orwell (who I highly respect him for his sharp sense of wrong and right) revolution is depicted as the only way to get rid of tyranny and oppression and achieving the justice and consequently obtaining the equality and liberty which are humasns’ ideals for living in peace and grace. In his incredible depiction of greedy and the ungracious side of human existence, he chooses the pigs as the absolute examples of excessive desires, to represent , incarnate and reveal the devastating and degrading effects of misusing the power and abusing the genuine will and trust of the people under the name of justice , equality and freedom. In his wise narrative of hypocrisy, pigs are representing the rulers who are the perfect symbols of this inhuman attribute.
The conception of revolution in ”Animal Farm” comes from a so-called virtuous and respectable white boar and his dream of freedom and equality. He(the boar) inspires the others, especially the young ones, and encourage them to fight for their rights. Then he is dead; but his inspirations and encouragements are inducing and guiding enough to lead the others. So, revolution is done; tyranny and tyrants are gone; and it is time to do the justice. Rules and principles are prepared. Equality is the main concern and priority for the leaders. Post-revolution life is started. Everybody works hard to help the revolutionists with their plans for reforms and improvements. they put their hearts to their efforts; they go through all sort of difficulties and hardships- even war. They remain loyal and submissive to their leaders with the hope of obtaining the goals of revolution and living in a better situation. But nothing happens-nothing new and better. And then there are trained dogs- fierce and thirsty for blood- to tear the throats of youths and intimidate the older ones. In the end the revolution yield to nothing but sorrow, pain and regret. The values are skewed ; the principles violated and a bitter sense of anguish and exasperation is the only remarkable result of the revolution.
Twenty years have passed by now since I read the ”Animal Farm” for the first time. A few days ago I read it again. It made me to shed tears, cried and mourned for myself and my generation who were disappeared into the smoggy air of tyranny and injustice. I shed tears and mourned for that teenager who used to get hold of every passing moment to make out its message. I shed tears and mourned for all those bright teenagers who at that time had great aspirations for themselves and their future children; but gained nothing other than grief and pain. I shed tears and mourned for my father and his generation who nowadays with grey hairs , pale faces and broken hearts are worried about their beautiful, bright and educated grandchildren who are exposed to the fierce teeth of the dogs that have been trained by the Mullahs(the pigs) just to tear the throats of youths. I shed tears and mourned for mothers who were beautiful teenagers back to thirty years ago and had ardently pictured a prosperous futures for themselves and their future children , and nowadays with broken hearts, withered faces , dimmed eyes, and glamorous and unseen grey tresses, are worried about their children. I shed tears and mourned for all our buried desires. I cried far, far beyond grief and regret. I burnt into ashes.
I do homage to George Orwell once again, the man who was truly the conscience of his time; the man who was free of bais and prejudice; the man who never ever made his judgements by solely relying on his eyes and his ears; the man who with his vivid prose and his exact crisp use of language was able to see the unseen and reveal the concealed.
Now a blessing in disguise has already given me the opportunity of living in Great Britain-the country of George Orwell; the country which undoubtedly is one of the most significant countries in the world; the country which has massive capacities in different fields. As I have been living in this country for more than two years, I have already realized that there is a very genuine will of contributing to the world, in the minds and hearts of British people. I have already realized that there are conscientious people and political figures who are genuinely worried about the Iranian people and their current condition which is painfully giving rise to serious concerns. Therefore, I strongly believe that Great Britain and its people are the only country and people who can help the Iranians much better than any other country and people could.
We can not deny the history, or make it up. Any kind of denying attitude towards the history , would be in fact a way to ignore the guiding lessons and knowledge which are enclosed within every single moment of history. With regard to this highly important matter, I have no reason not to believe that new generation of the British rulers and British people have a very clear, tangible, wise, realistic and practical attitude and recognition towards the history. There had been some wrong attitudes towards the world, during the imperial time; and it is acknowledged by the new generation of rulers of Great Britain. Therefore , I think it is the right time for Great Britain to set out to conquer the world in a different way; by the way of winning the trust and respect of people in the countries like Iran- by the way of making more efforts to make a much more transparent and easily trust able picture of Great Britain. It is my genuine believe that Great Britain and its conscientious people who are undoubtedly highly educated and understanding as well, are enormously capable , as a great impact, of leading the world into a much more human and peaceful path. Civilization, knowledge, morality, sincerity, tolerance and a very sifted wisdom and virtue, these are the respectable attributes of the new British generation; these are the most powerful weapons for such a nation. So, I believe that such weapons are the most useful and effective weapons to conquer the world which nowadays is much more knowledgeable than it was in the past.
Three decades after the Iran revolution in 1979, there are still skeptic views towards the Great Britain in the minds of Iranian people. They are not people of bias; they are not people of nonsensical obsessions with the past. They are knowledgeable people with flexible and compromising attitudes. So, why they are still so suspicious about the Great Britain’s attiuudes towards Iran? If the weather is getting changed, they would say ‘ yes, some English men must be doing something to the weather’ or if they see a stone on their way , they would say ‘ it must be put there by an English man’ As I mentioned before, we can not deny the history as the honest narrator of the past events. There are periods in the history of Iran which have evidently narrated the consequences of the presence of the British in Iran. And of course there had been some adverse and somewhat agitating issues ,created during the presence and influence of Great Britain in Iran in the past, which can not be denied and should not be ignored if there is any mutual and wise plan to sort out the past and its destructive impacts on the present relationship between Iranian nation and British government.
Many western countries have begun to make radical changes in their attitudes towards the rest of the world, since thirty years ago; and some of them have been relatively succeeded to create a new and clear philosophy to deal and compromise with the countries which had been hurt and somehow exploited by them in the past. The most significant western countries in this issue, are Germany, France, Italy and even America. They have been successful in making trust and gaining the respect of people in the most of the countries in which there had been very incredulous views towards them. Germany as the most successful western country in this issue, has been incredibly wise and foreseeing in making new ties with the nations rather than relying solely on its relationship with the rulers and governments. And thus this significant country has gained an enormous credit in Iran and countries alike. As to the America, I have to say contrary to the views of the outside world, in Iran, I mean in the mind of Iranian nation, there is no that much incredulous view towards America , which there is towards Great Britain; although, some of them are still chanting ‘down down with America’ or ‘America, the big Satan,’ in the political games which are held by the Islamic regime, but in fact the incredulity towards the Americans has prospectively begun to decrease. With no doubt, whatsoever, the wise efforts of the mentioned countries in making new and creative ties between the nations have been the main factor in creating positivity and reliance in the mind of Iranian nation towards themselves. For instance, the relationship between the social organisations, apart from political issues and differences, has incredibly been effective to moderate and even somehow compensate for damages, done in the past. Using all the possibilities which have been a way to channelling through the people’s minds and hearts, have been the resultful policy of the above mentioned countries.In this, cultural matters and sport, especially football as an amazing phenomenon, have played indirect , but creative roles. It is interesting to know that the Americans have relatively succeeded in ameningd their distorted relationship with Iran in some fields, while they have not had their embassy in Iran, since 1979.
Has the Great Britain, as one of the word’s powers, and of course as the country which its name is imprinted in any single page of the 300 hundred years of the recent history of Iran, made any remarkable effort in order to gain the trust of the Iranian nation, other than the mere and routine diplomatic and political efforts? Have the British social organizations and communities taken any step to get closer to their brothers and sisters in Iran? Have they done anything remarkable to show their respect for the Iranians, apart from the political problems and disagreements? Have the British society established any remarkable social and cultural institute in order to create a sense of respect and frienship through the mutual communications and agreements? Unfortunately, the answers to these questions and many others, would be a big NO!! Why?
In a near future Iran’s national Football team, is going to go to America for the third times in recent years; of course it will be just a football match , but there are beautiful implications behind that. It is just a wise use of a popular phenomenon like football to create a little bit of friendship and respect; and definitely these little bits of respects will be enormously effective in the process of compromising and reconciliation between the two nations and consequently a great help to rulers in channelling through their problems in a better atmosphere. Adding to this, there have been a lot of confrontations between the Americans and the Iranians in different sport and social fields from wrestling and Football to cinema and other cultural matters. And so, have been doing the Germans, Italians, French who are the main commercial partners for Iran nowadays. My main point in this matter is, that this era is the era of people and people. This era is the era of cogency ,logic and respect, as people have changed and are not the same people who used to be forty years ago. I mean in these days everyone knows best, as our world now is a quite informed and cogent world. Naturally, in such a world it is just respect and recognition which can be the most decisive weapon to win and get access to different advantages.
As an asylum seeker in Great Britain, I was handed a bundle of papers before going to a tribunal court, nearly two years ago. The papers had the title of THE INFORMATION OF THE COUNTRY OF THE ORIGIN. When I went through those papers, honestly, I just laughed and laughed , as I found nothing different and remarkable in those papers which could be even relatively a suggestive of the realities of social and political problems in Iran. It was obvious that those information could be accessible to everyone on Internet and in public domain. And later on, when I found it very difficult to find a book for example about the history,culture or literature of Iran in the central library of a big city in this country, I was bitterly convinced that there has been no will to know a little bit, just a little bit, about a country which is undoubtedly a significant part of human civilization and memories in this world. Trying to know a person, a society and a nation, is in fact a way to get closer to them and of course a beautiful way of showing respect and recognising their cultural and social values.
I do hope that my dear civilized, polite, and highly informed British brothers and sisters do not get me wrong; as after having been living in this country for more than two years, I have already realized that any kind of criticism is strangely considered as ANTAGONISM, especially if criticism comes form a foreigner. And lastly I may be allowed to say that unfortunately British nation and the British rulers do not have any clear and tangible information about the true nature of the Iranians and the religious group ruling over them. I may be allowed to say as well,that the unbelievably indifferent attitudes of the British nation and the British government towards Iranian people have been the main obstacles in the way of decreasing the hindering suspicions in the minds of the Iranians towards Great Britain’s policies. And I have a suggestion( as a very easy way to get to a comprehensive knowledge about the realities of the devastating social and political problems in Iran) for the British people and the British rulers; it is very simple and useful. Please do bother and read the George Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM once again, and do not make any doubt that it is the most reliable description of the religious group of rulers in Iran, and of course the oppression, abuses and humiliation which the Iranians have been going through for three decades. It surely will be much more informative and guiding than all those sheer diplomatic and political procedures which have not been effective even to let the Iranians know that the new generation of rulers in Great Britain have no exploitive attitudes towards the world.Please do bother and read the ”Animal Farm” once again and try to convince the Iranians that the new British generation are equipped with the weapons of knowledge,wisdom and cogency, and such a nation has no exploitative attitudes towards any country.
Obama, Mullahs, and western medias, what will they do for Iranian people?
What is really remarkable in the surge of recent changes in America, is the different language which is seemingly meant to communicate different things in different ways. Although the bitter truth of this materialistic ( or perhaps realistic) world is so depressing and discouraging in its terms of approaching the solutions, but I optimistically believe in will and purpose which words carry regarding to their sounds. So, the sounds of words, uttered by Mr Obama, are hopefully-to some degrees- indicating that they have some things to do with their true implications.
In his rhetoric, Mr Obama, implicitly, imparted a genuine will of communication and mutual understanding towards international problems. As a matter of course, true will to understand and recognising the others is the only way to cope with the really dire situation of our world.
The deteriorating economical issues which has already exposed the whole world to the threat of a real disruption, and with regard to the vital importance of solidarity and co-operation of nations in this issue, I think it is high time for the Islamic regime and Mullahs in Iran to take on a new and of course more flexible policy towards their world and their nation. I think it is the right time for the Mullahs to show a little bit respect for the world community and their own nation via opening the doors of Iran to the world and through an optimistic attitude taking part in the universal challenges over the common problems which our world is undergoing.
If Mullahs are really legitimate in their positions and have any real assurance on their place in the minds and hearts of Iranian people, they should not be afraid of the hands which are stretching out to them to offer a better and mutual understanding on the common issues.
The religious group, ruling over Iran, has been brilliant at wasting the great opportunities of tackling their problems with the world’s powers and consequently giving the chance of promotion to their people and allowing them to play their parts in the international scenes as a viable and significant nation.
To what extent can Mullahs keep the doors of the country closed and keep spending the wealth of the nation to fortify their chateaus just in order to hang on to power and going on with their ruling- maniac desires? Of course I am not a blind critic as I am fully aware of the inevitable realities which we are facing with in this world; so, I think it is the absolute right of any country to take on a secure manner of dealing with the international issues; and of course it is the absolute right of any nation to get to the defensive abilities as our world is not a flawless and perfect world; but to what extent should a country or a ruling group think of security measures and defensive abilities? Isolating a nation from the world, which it belongs to as a significant and cultural part of it, and spending an awful amount of money on defensive plans -which undoubtedly was enough to develop the country in a short period- is what Mullahs have kept justifying it as SECURITY MEASURES AND PREVENTIVE AND PRECAUTIONS defensive abilities in dealing with the world.
As the history is our great witness, we have never been an aggressive nation, or a nation of extremism, blind bias, and excessive trends and violent behaviours. Therefore I believe, Iran, a powerful Iran, can , beyond any doubt , be the watershed of peace and reconciliation for the world; but the question which is raised in this issue is: What kind of powerful Iran is meant to be the watershed of peace and reconciliation for the world? A powerful Iran which its individuals are part of its power, or a powerful Iran which is used as a military base by some infidel and power-maniac Mullahs who seek their survival in crisis and controversial atmospheres? A free, democratic and advanced Iran with that great and exquisite background of culture, which in fact is the culture of realization, moderation and tolerance , will be capable of creating the balance and harmony in relationships in the region and consequently being a significant help to the other parts of the world.
Therefore, in my point of view, the Iranian nation must be considered as the most eminent target in the surge of new changes in relationship between Iran and West and in particular Americans. Unfortunately there has always been an awful misunderstanding and misinterpretation in terms of approaching the Iranian people , as they have always been- directly or indirectly- considered as part of Islamic regime; so, I, as an Iranian, fully aware of all ups and downs of my people, my society and my culture, strongly believe that this unfair and of course absolutely wrong way of approaching a nation( which painfully has been living a life of captivity for Three decades) has been the main cause of poorly attempted efforts of West in dealing with the issue of Iran which has enormously left negative effcts on the majority of international issues.
Thereby, as it is obvious that the Islamic regime which apparently is willing to take on a different attitude, will not be clear enough and sincere in terms and conditions of any kind of procedure which will be taken on to repose the necessary mutual trust in the collation of solutions; so dealing with the issue of Iran definitely will not be so easy and fruitful when it comes to looking for the solutions and channelling through the main targets in this issue. On the other hand, the military solution and using the force as a lever to shift the Islamic regime, surely will not be an effective and wise act in this sensitive time.
So, approaching the issue of Iran and its Islamic regime is deeply in need of an exhaustive plan, in which all the necessary information and guidelines are prepared in accordance with the realities of what has been going on in Iran during the past three decades. It is undeniable that West has been unable to deal with the issue of Iran as the present influential role of Iran in the middle East is the absolute indication to this issue. To my knowledge the western medias has been the main cause of the West’s failure in this issue. Unfortunately the western medias has not been able- even relatively- to give a clear and tangible account of Iranian society and the ruling group over it, despite of being equipped with different kinds of knowledge and technology. As an Iranian, it has really been sobering and of course wandering for me to hear the comments of western medias on the recent changes in America and the presidency of Mr Obama and the possibilities of channelling through the old problems between West and Iran and America in particular, as their trends in approaching the issue are unbelievably raw and far behind the truth: ” Iranian people are against any kind of relationship with America, while Iranian government is ready to have new ties with America!!!”,this is the way of recognising and approaching the realities of a country and its people by one of the most popular western medias!!! And it shows that unfortunately western medias are in need of urgent changes in their methods of approaching and analyzing the people’s mind and quests which are based on their own culture and beliefs and of course their involvement in the unwanted and inevitable challenges which are imposed on them due to the deliberately created circumstances by astute rulers. Obviously it would be an easy job for a reporter or a journalist to get to a reliable assessment on the people’s general quests and needs if he or she is supposed to do so by walking in the garish streets of a western country which its people have not been obliged to concede and going through any kind of unwanted and imposed situation; definitely , applying the sheer psychological and sociological methods to the process of getting to a general knowledge on the life of a western society would be the most resulting and reliable way; but definitely, it would be of no use when it is supposed to go through the life of a nation that has been under the most intricate mental pressures, a nation which has been compelled to play silly games even with itself just to earn its butter and bread and keep going with the hope of getting to a point at which a reasonable movement can be started to change the current issues.
Therefore, carrying out any kind of changes in this issue is necessarily in need of an exhaustive information about the social realities in Iran; as no changes can be achieved without taking the true quest of Iranian nation under a scrutinising consideration. So, in my point of view all the efforts in this issue must be concentrated on the inner changes in Iran, as I beleive an uncompromising regime which has been actually fighting against the west for Three decades in different fields and different forms, has never ever will come to terms with the west in a comprehensive way. Therein, I do hope that western medias in this issue will be able to give a true account of the Iranian society to the western politicians and lead them to an even ground, on which the foundation of a radical change can be set and leads the process of changes to a level of flexibility and fruitfulness.
Ahmadinedjad, the stupid shepherd. Khatami, the intellectual traitor.
In the gloom of a despairing atmosphere, in which no bird had no reason to fly or to sing a cheerful song of rapture and hope as the green was dried and gardens were robbed of beauty and charm, a man turned up under the banner of liberty , dignity and honour. The man had a gentle face, with a bewitching look on it; his appearance was akin to that of Jesus Christ. In his rhetoric language there was an impartation of a pure and divine sense which seemed it had been meant just to imparadise the wandered humans via a spiritual recreation and purification. He blew the breeze of hope and recreation into the withered souls of green buds which were on the brink of giving the hope of blooming up. So, the young buds forgot all about the gloom of despair and discouragement which were going to make them to forget all about blooming and growth.
Thus , in a feast of words, wisdom, liberty and dignity, the buds, the youths, gathered about the man and began to recall the ways of laughing , clapping and cheering which had already been drifted awy from their memories by the waves of tyranny and oppression. In a rich exhibition of words and meaning, the compelling language of the man who knew how the words can penetrate into the farthest places of human soul, heart and mind, caused a surge of rejuvenation and renovation to be felt by the bulk of a nation and made it devoted to a great quest which was freedom and dignity. The man spotted the heart as the origin of miracle, and clarified, via his intellectual interpretation, which miracle would not happen when the hearts were disengaged. In a feast of words, wisdom, liberty and honour, the man recalled the despondent heart of a nation to life and encouraged it to support him as the herald of liberty and redemption in his resurrection against the devil.
“Mohammad Khatami” this is the name of that man who reminded a nation of their absolute rights to laugh , clapping and cheering and of course whistling!! Further to this, he did nothing to his nation, to his young and hopeful brothers and sisters who looked at him with great honour and showed him a great and sincere deference . He betrayed them; he left them cold and desperate; he left them in the gloom of despair and anguish; he was to heal the old wounds of a nation, but instead he put salt on its wounds. He wasted the opportunity which undoubtedly could lead the nation to the path of a basic attachment to its viable and great culture and consequently to create the platforms and setting off a comprehensive movement towards reformation and of course getting rid of hindering and contemptuous beliefs for good. He turned his back to the people who had vowed him by their hearts and souls, and left them in a bitter sense of resentment and frustration.
He is back again! Yes, he is back again; and we will vote him again! Yes, that is also true! Of course Khatami would be the best choice when it comes to making a choice between “bad” and “worse” In comparison with a rude, harsh, awkward, and illiterate figure like Ahmadinedjad and alike, Khatami and his thoughts can be conceded by Iranian people who have been compelled to concede the unconvincing figures and thoughts, imposed on them, for Three decades in accordance with the bitter logic of choosing the “bad” to avoid the “worse”
As the the race over Iran’s presidential election is heating up, and the sophisticated Mullahs are making themselves amused with the normative games over the forthcoming elections; Iranian people are tangled up in their minds as they are in no doubt of going to be faced with an other dilemma. As it is obvious that Khatami will be the most competent rival to Ahmadinedjad in the forthcoming presidential elections which is due to run on June 2009, it is evident that Iranian people will have to deal with an other dilemma which in fact is an other nasty game to skew the face of justice, democracy and ignoring the civic rights and civil rights which are the most essentials in the way of approaching the core meaning of freedom and a democratic attitude towards the certain wants of people.
Khatami who had been ruling over Iranian people for Eight years as their president, has already proved himself as a very poisonous politician due to his coward, hypocritical, and treacherous personality; and the other one( Ahmadinedjad) has also proved himself as a SHEPHERD who has no conception of the obvious differences between a Goat and a Sheep!! As to the other rivals to Ahmadinedjad, same as usual, they have been deliberately chosen by the astute Mullahs for this game; so, it is obvious that they do not have any chance of win in this game as they are really so much less for the position of presidency and thus naturally they are of no interest to people.
To what extend a president who is to run a country and above all to represent its people and their culture in the international scenes, should be so rude, awkward and discouraging, as a so-called president like Ahmadinedjad is? It would be a sobering question when it comes to whys and therefores of the matter of presidency in particular, and all kind of elections in general in Iran. It is too obvious that Ahmadinedjad was elected by people, I mean people went to the ballot boxes and voted him in a really free and democratic atmosphere!!! As they have been free to make their choices in accordance with their opinions and tastes under the sophisticated Islamic regime!!! To work this amazing paradox out, It is necessarily required to know that Iranian people are unbelievably meticulous and precise with their choices. So, one may ask if it is true, why they have chosen such an obviously illiterate shepherd(Ahmadinedjad) as their president and of course as their representative in the international scenes? The answer to such question would be so sobering and of course painful.
During the past Thirty years in which Mullahs and their God have been ruling over Iran, they have been, unbelievably, amazingly prevailing over people and succeding with their intricate tricks in making a legitimate face for their hegemonic and fraudulent ways of ruling. So, it is unsurprising to see them carrying on so steady and lasting. These sophists who have had no deference for the people since they took over the country, have held all sort of elections in a very sound and almost democratic manner!! Subject to the records in this issue. According to those records, there has not been a serious and controversial argument over the authenticity of elections in Iran. In other word the normative nature of elections in Iran, and the absolute lack of alternatives for the people ( who are compelled to attend the elections and vote the “bad” to avoid the “worse”) leaves no room for no argument and debate over the outlines and results of elections.
When it comes to elections and people, the nominees have to be recognised and confirmed by the people themselves. It is so sensible, reasonable, fair, and easy to understand; but for the Islamic regime and astute Mullahs it is adverse to the expediency and security of a country!! So, they do bother themselves and do the initial part in this course instead of people! There are different assemblies of old, dogmatic and sophistic clerics within the structure of Islamic regime. The function of this old and greedy vipers is to confirm the nominees for the management of the country. this definitely is an awful and unfair kind of filtering and censorship. Thereby no really capable and remarkable nominee with outstanding abilities can pass through the filtering and censorship system of viperish clerics; and consequently some short-minded and submissive figures are confirmed as the so-called qualified and elite figures to run for the elections and taking the high positions to lead the country. Therefore the Islamic regime and malicious Mullahs have no reason for being worried about the people’s opinion and the outcome of their choices, as the so-call suitable and elite candidates, confirmed by the Assembly of Gurdian Council for any kind of position, are in fact the regime’s agents. So, either Ahmadinedjad or Khatami are the desirable choices of sly Mullahs; and people same as usual, are compelled to attend the elections and cast their ballots in favour of less “bad” in order to avoid the least “good”!!
“
She is just a Cook, and of course a beautiful slave!
So gentle and amiable in behaviour, as subtle and sensible through her conception of life, that I have no reason not to call her as the essence of human life, and of curse as the suggestive of the all known and unknown secrets of the creation and the thought of divinity. Woman as the absolute definition of beauty and delicacy which in fact are divine values, granted to her by her beautiful creator, in my point of view is the basic and seminal word within the intricate philosophy of creation, as I believe this word is the keyword to penetrate into the lofty moments of realization and accomplishment. Woman, this splendid soul of faith and love is capable of defining the great God in the most deliberate and dazzling way of thought and meaning.
Suppressing the woman in different ways beyond any doubt is the main cause of our inhuman behaviours in this disastrous and odd world. As it is evident that affection and love can create an atmosphere in which words are heard and minds are made in a logical way, suppressing the woman in the most inconceivable inhuman ways, who is the origin of divine love and affection, is the most outrageous s and destructive act which our mindless world has unfortunately been bound to perform it in the most brilliant form of folly and unawareness!! As I believe that suppressing and spoiling the woman, is, in fact, deforming and trivializing the core meaning of human life, so much foolishness in approaching the beauty and love, is in no way acceptable.
It goes without saying that no human society can succeed in obtaining the appropriate principles( which undoubtedly are very decisive in leading a society to the right paths of understanding and recognition) without giving the main role to the women who are innately apt and capable of stimulating the spirit of knowledge, wisdom, and virtue within a society and leading it to the adequate trends in the way of formation and progress. Therefore , slighting the women in this course, means choosing the difficult way of understanding and planing in the way of making the basic platforms and setting the outlines in an even ground; and it is too obvious which such a choice will yield to nothing more than some rough, odd, awkward, and complicated achievements, as the history of nations has evidently proved the fact that societies in which women are confined, restricted and unfortunately disparaged, has never ever been able to set the outlines of their lives on an even ground, on which consistency , cohesion, and flexibility as the main elements in the course of performing the plans and approaching the goals, are created.
Iranian women as one of the most meritorious and recipients women in the world has always been obliged to undergo undesirable conditions which has been imposed on them due to the frequent social changes which has been creating complicated circumstances in which no share and role has been assigned to them but the share of loneliness, solitude and of course the role of mere Cooks and beautiful slaves!!
Thirty years ago an untimely revolution which actually was the most destructive event through the history of Iran , imposed many unwanted changes on Iranian society. That destroying revolution which happened under God’s name, put the Iranian women in a really awful situation; they were encaged and restricted almost in all aspects of their lives. As a matter of course a very sensitive creature like women needs the freedom to get matured and sifted in soul and mind; in other words, freedom is the food of woman’s soul and mind, as her innate nature is in fact of a very pure and genuine nature which will just be nourished in an atmosphere of freedom and honour. So, the Islamic revolution which had no certain and defined role and place for the Iranian women within its plans, verged them to the descending way of regression and diminishing in all respects of their lives.
According to the contemptuous Islamic rules and regulations, freedom of women will expose them to the risk of obscenity and degeneration!! And consequently an obscene and degenerated woman will be a great threat to the morality of her society!! According to the degrading Islamic rules and regulations, knowledge can be a dangerous tool in the hands of women as they are easy and soft creatures who do not have any virtual control over themselves!! That they are not able to control their passion and thus they should not be allowed to acquire knowledge in a high rate!! And according to many other Islamic rules and regulation, in general, women are considered as innately unfaithful and relatively short in mind creatures who should be kept at home and just follow the men who are known as their absolute masters!!
Therefore Iranian women who had already- to some degrees- experienced living in a free society under the previous regime, were pitched into the turmoil of radical and blind social changes which were taking place under the name of God and goodness, and had no plan for them but the degrading and diminishing plan of confining them by the way of imposing the unfair, rigid, arid and injustice Islamic have tos and do not have tos, on them. By this way, Iranian women who beyond doubt were the most capable part of our society were pushed into the darkness of bias and oppression.
To avoid the repetition, I would rather to go on with the harmful consequences of degrading the women in Iran, instead of describing what happened to them in unnecessary details. I have often thought about it in order to find words which can exhaustively define the philosophy which reproach the woman in the most outrageous manner of approaching the woman, this essence of life and absolute beauty and charm; So, I have come up with words ” barbarous” and “sinister” which are definitely the most adequate words to define the nasty and inhuman philosophy which describe the woman as a potential threat to social morality, in case of obtaining the freedom and acquiring the knowledge!! Thereby, this barbarous and sinister religious philosophy which back to Thirty years ago began to destroy the Iranian women in different inhuman ways. has unfortunately left an enormously negative effect on the personality of Iranian women, and consequently has caused a great failure in the integrity and conformity of beliefs in Iranian society .
It is too evident that an uneducated woman who has been deprived of freely socialising with her society as well, never ever can get matured and capable of participating in social affairs. It is undeniable that the capacities of woman is much more than man in all respects, as she is an absolutely creative creature who is privileged by a fine and subtle wit which seems much more natural and viable than the wit of man; but the thing is that if woman is confined and restricted in a manner of disparagement and humiliation, she will turned to a neutral creature with no distinctive quality and delicacy. And so, she will become -to some degrees- talkative, insolent, and haughty in nature and behaviour.
Thereby, the Iranian women were the first and greatest victims of Islamic revolution. Astute and satanic Mullahs who had no intention other than the intention of ruling, were absolutely aware of the emotional and psychological role of Iranian women in their society and of course their influential presence in the dangerous events, as these sly mullahs who are the masters of social sciences, had used the women, in a very deliberate social and psychological manner, as a very effective tool in toppling the previous regime. Thus as part of an exhaustive plan to control the Iranian people, controlling the women was the regime’s first priority in that sinister plan. So, applying the defunct and barbarous religious rules and regulations to that inhuman plan, was in fact a heavy blow to the confidence of Iranian women and of course the whole Iranian society; as it was actually the beginning point of transforming a viable society into a bleating and bleak one. I may be allowed to say that Iranian women’s soul and dignity were skewed and looted, as the so-called gracious God, Islam, and alien Mullahs denied their existence by repressing them by a ridiculous value system which grievously gave an indefinite halt to their unique intuitive wisdom and instinctual self-confidence which along with acquiring the knowledge via a free and equal system of education, could undoubtedly be used as a strong and instructive element to make a very great Iran, since the time and situations were so fertile and ready at that period.
Qur,an, Surah An-Nisa( the women): “ if any of your women are guilty of lewdness, take the evidence of Four witnesses from amongst you against them; and if they testify, confine them to houses until death do claim them, or Allah ordain for them some other way” “ if two men among you are guilty of lewdness , punish them both. If they repent and amend, leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.” It is too evident that any kind of philosophy, derived from such an unfair attitude towards woman, will just be enough irrational and inhuman to diminish the woman to a creature who must be considered and approached as the property of man!! Is woman not a human being? Is she not as eligible as man for receiving the mercy and forgive ness form her so-called “oft-retuning, Most merciful God” in case of committing an error?!! Why must she be confined to house until death do claim her?!! It is so inhuman to use word “confinement” about the woman who is the soul of freedom and salvation on the earth; who is the genuine definition of peace and wisdom.
It goes without saying that such contemptuous attitudes towards women will never ever recognise them as the certain and independent human beings. In a ludicrous comparison, the devilish Mullahs has been trying to justify the so-called worthy Islamic attitudes towards women: “ women in west got the freedom in all aspects of their lives, but they are obscene and degenerated poor things!! They are some dolls who are used in inhuman ways to make money!! They are business tools!! They will go to hell!! God never forgive them!!” It is really ridiculous to ignore the enormous progress of West in obtaining the knowledge and wisdom which has led the people to a creative and instructive observation on their lives; and in a sophism manner trying to justify the inhuman religious beliefs , which in fact are abusive and injustice to women, as the divine and elevating values. To my knowledge, in no obscene and degenerated human society, no knowledge can be acquired and no remarkable goal can be achieved; as I believe knowledge and wisdom are obtained by the sifted minds and elevated souls. So, this simple logic can make every thing clear in this issue; as the women’s general situation in the West manifest – regardless to some defects and failures which can be found in any human society- their effective roles in all aspects of life in their societies; the role which they have made a great effort to get it and of course have made a greater effort to perform it . So enthusiastic and eligible, as intuitive , spontaneous and inspiring that the majority of Western women are, no rational philosophy and logic deny the effects of freedom and knowledge on their developed characters.
Nowadays, what Iranian women have been given by a fake God, a defunct philosophy , derived from a rough religion, and some actually infidel Mullahs, is a bitter sense of aridness voidness and infertility in their minds and souls. Nowadays those beautiful souls and minds which had to be polished and enriched to give a new sense and meaning to the long-forgotten Iranian genuine culture and civilization, are tangled in an obscure challenge to get rid of the darkness and bias which have created for them by some opportunistic Mullahs. Nowadays Iranians are regretting the wasted times which passed through darkness, while the glowing light of women’s wit and merit could aptly lead them to the other way, had they been recognised in a just and human way. Nowadays those withered lilies and jasmines have come to this thoughtful point , that obscenity is the disgusting product of restriction and oppression , not the product of freedom ; that it is the darkness and folly attitudes which lead the women to the denigrating ways of devaluation and ignorance, not the light way of knowledge , wisdom and honour which lead the women to no destination but the illuminated destination of a rational and elevated virtue which is the sublime conception of human life.
”the sun was dead and no one knew that the sad dove which escaped from hearts was Faith”
South east of Iran, the land of infertile moments, the land of sadness and poignant human challenges with the nature and injustice, the land of remoteness and dark sorrow, the land of sand, wind, lizard and black scorpions, was the place which I was destined to live two years of my life in its boiling days and its freezing nights as a soldier. Sistan and Baluchistan the southeastern province of Iran, neighbouring with Afghanistan and Pakistan, has always been really a bad lot for any 18 year-old male Iranians who must serve two years in one of the military forces as a mandatory duty in accordance with the rules and regulations. As a relatively adventurous person I was not that worried about my unfortunate lot which was going to send me to the most dangerous place in Iran; but my family were obviously worried about that, especially my father who had previously been working as a lorry driver in that area for One and half a year; but there was no way to escape from the destiny and thus I had to go to add another challenge to my thoroughly challenging life.
Zabol, a really awful and tiny city, located in the middle of a mean and dark desert which is enough generous to yield to nothing but wind, sand, and ugly Lizards and fatal black scorpions, as the remotest place in the province of Sistan and Baluchistan which I was sent to for a Three-months training course. It was in the middle of a very furious and cold Autumn, the wind and sand were decidedly to welcome us to the region as good as they could! So they were lashing onto the body of the dilapidated bus which in fact was moving on the road like a desperate Turtle, tracking the smell of water and sea. Some of my fellow soldiers where sleeping, some of them were chatting, regardless to the wind and sand which were furiously intended to show off their dominating existence in the region. The wind, twisting and whistling, was obviously to stimulate every single grain of sand to participate in its illusive dance, while the mean and small bushes were desperately trying to save themselves of being uprooted by the tyrannic wind.
it was 4pm that the dilapidated bus stopped in front of a so called restaurant which were much more similar to a deserted stable. It was just hunger which could make me to accept that dirty and strange place as a restaurant. An old and shaggy man as the chef was enough disgusting to make me forget all about hunger and eating; it was the same for the other fellow soldiers who would rather to buy some biscuits from the Small neighbouring shop instead of taking the great risk of eating in that odd restaurant which in fact was a place for the lizards to make a fabulous show of their incredible skills in hunting the various flies which were abundantly moving on the dirty walls of that so- called restaurant.
” just Four hours more , dear little soldiers, then we will be in Zabol, so do not be worried, just keep chatting” He was the bus driver who indirectly was trying to encourage the little soldiers who were obviously effected by the hallucinative atmosphere of the region. dilapidated bus, completely covered by dust, was again on the road, compelled to move and barely moaning like an old turtle , wandered in the middle of a dark desert, desperate and frustrated with itself and its destiny. It was apparently calmness which was drawn on the faces of my fellow soldiers; but the truth was something else; it was the fear, the uncertainty, the unknown horror, the ambiguous hesitation, the vulnerability, the bewilderment which we have been undergoing as a result of living in a society in which religion as a denigrating tool has been painfully succeeded to constitute a fatal failure in our observations and recognition. It was obviously an unknown and intricate fear which was going to make the youth and braveness faded away on the faces of my fellow soldiers. a sense of being lost , seemed to me a much more accurate expression than a fear of being exposed to a physical hurt, to explain what was going on in the minds of my fellow soldiers.
The dilapidated bus, quite adverse to its driver,s promise , was not able to get us to the awful city of Zabol before 11pm. It was almost impossible to see the city through the dusty bus’ windows. So, the young soldiers , mute and tired, unwillingly were trying to get up in order to see the first aspects of the city through the bus’ windscreen, but it also was not so effective as the twisting wind -which was still on its rampage, had made an obscure and milky scene before the bus which its dim headlights were barely able to help the driver to see just a few metres before the bus.
as we stepped out of the bus, It was the wind which was actually on its climax to welcome us as the newcomers , obliged to listen to its odd music which was sort of moaning and melancholic whispers. A few minutes later two sergeants turned up, one of them short and somewhat stout with a big mustache on his freckly face, the other one tall and slim with a thick black beard on his long face. the short one, all of a sadden, shouted while coming to us, obviously intended to show us how he would be serious in dealing with us as new soldiers : ”Hey, mother f****rs come here! come on wankers!” The soldiers, shocked by the insult, bored by the freezing wind, heads down, went to the large gate which the Two sergeants had already stood by. It was the bearded -long face who was going to show off his innate talent at applying the vulgarism language to welcoming us. So , he yelled at us: ” hey goats! keep your heads up, look at there- gesturing with his hand up towards the big sign over the gate.- All of a sadden all of us burst into laughter; it was a large and very funny painting, showing a bird, a big cockerel , laying eggs!! look at it carefully, it is a cockerel, but we made him to lay eggs! It means here in this barrack, we do not bear with cheeky boys like you; it means we will make you to lay eggs, like hens!!” ”Stand in a line.” It was the short and stout sergeant who shouted again, while kicking the young boys as if they were really some animals that should necessarily be kicked to move towards their folds.
As we entered the wast barrack under the outrageous treatment of the Two sergeants, a row of huge buildings caught my eyes; they were very similar to that stable-like restaurant -which was in fact a cosy place for the lizards. A few minutes later we were standing in front of the one of those huge buildings; a floodlight, surrounded by strange and big flies, had illuminated the wooden entrance door of the building; it was shining as if it had been polished a few hours ago. I found some sort of a very delicate art within the structure of that big and well-designed door. all of a sadden I felt a sharp pain on my back, – while I was thinking about the wood which had been used to make such a precious door-, and before realising what happened, I fell on the ground, a blinding pain let me know that it was my face which had touched the sandy ground , before my hands could be of any use. Half an hour later I was told of being kicked on the back by the short and stout sergeant.
The taste of blood in my mouth was much more boring than the cold wind which was mischievously trying to penetrate into the large building via its numerous small windows which most of them had no more than just a small piece of glass , clinging somewhere to their corners. My teeth were unharmed, it was what that I realised, while lying down on the bare and metallic bed. It was enough for me to forget about my swollen nose which certainly were going to give me a ridiculous feature for the next couple of days. As a result of laziness and undutifulness of the Two sergeants, we had to sleep on the bare and metallic beds without even a blanket over the night.
I was in the middle of an awful dream that a shrill sound woke me up. All the lights were turned on. My tired eyes were barely able to see an obscure human-shape, standing in the middle of the dormitory; as the shrill sound echoed in the cold air for the second time, my tired eyes was obliged to see a real bulk, dressed awkwardly in a full-green colour uniform, and wore a pair of black boots which were undoubtedly of the biggest size which I had ever seen before. It was enough frightening to prevent me of making an imagination of consequences of being kicked by those awful boots. ” stand up. stand up” he shouted, as he was moving his bulk towards me; I pulled myself together abruptly as I knew it would be too much for me to receive the Second kick in just a few hours. there was a fluttering in the dormitory, and then an absolute silence, stretched on the sleepy, tired, and withered young faces which were obviously afraid of being insulted again. The bulky sergeant, with a shaggy and round head which with Two big eyes was very similar to the head of a young and sturdy calf, looked at the sleepy faces while he was walking on the concrete floor with a great care to tread every single grain of sand – which were actually swept in by the wind, in order to make a cracking sound, and perhaps giving a charismatic air to his awkwardly big body. It was his shrill voice – which adverse to his bulk, was not so frightening, that echoed in the silence of dormitory, asking the soldiers to become ready for Namaz( prayer). He added: from now on you must get up at 3:30 am to say the morning prayer.
So suffocating, as hypocritical that was that first prayer in that awful garrison, that I had no reason not to feel a great hatred towards whatever was branded with the name of God and religion. Although I knew that my hatred was somehow blind and irrational, but I had enough knowledge to relatively justify my hatred and getting out of the negative effects of that intricate and somewhat poignant feeling. I, as a teenager, crazy with books, reading and understanding, had begun to read various books when I was just Ten. ” Twenty Four hours between sleep and wakefulness” was the first book that I read. It was a very bitter story ; a story of homelessness, wandering, and poverty. As the first child of a populated and poor family and familiar with poverty, I cried for hours for the poor teenager in that story. That book left a great and seminal effect on my personality, observation and existence. The final scene of that book remained in my mind for ever: The poor and homeless teenager, hungry, frustrated and absolutely worn-out as a result of walking for hours aimlessly in the streets, came across a toy shop, looking at the expensive toys through the shop’s window and watching garish people who were paying a fortune for a small toy; meanwhile a machine-gun caught his eyes , a big and beautiful one; and all of a sadden he wished that machine-gun was a real one, so that he could break the shop’s window and would take the machine-gun and shoot at all those rich and garish people; but at the end of his imagination he came to this beautiful conclusion that no machine-gun can be the right tool for getting rid of homelessness and poverty. It was in fact the first beautiful and rational philosophy which I learnt and from then on a surge of devotion for knowledge made me involved in a serious challenge to understand more and more.
Back to the dormitory, we were told to stand beside our beds to receive our khaki uniforms and leather boots. Meanwhile an officer, dressed in a different uniform with those of Three sergeants which we had already seen, came in. His blue and tidy uniform plus his meticulously polished boots and Three golden stars on his square shoulders ,made me sure that there would not be an other show of vulgarism and insulting to watch; as in fact he was one of the members of police organisation belong to the previous regime which had recently been combined with one of the most notorious police organisations in the world, which was known as the Committee of Islamic Revolution and had been established by the Imam Khomeini just a few days after the victory of revolution. He stopped walking, right in the middle of the vast and cold dormitory, looking up at the ceiling for a few seconds, then, down round the numerous and almost broken and open windows and finally uttered a sentence, while obviously avoiding eye-contact with the young soldiers: ” my sons, welcome to your house; this place is going to be your house for a while, so try to get used to it as soon as possible” promising to come back again in a few hours to sort out the other problems, he left us alone with the Three sergeants who were actually the members of the previously police organisation , known as Committee of Islamic revolution which its members had been intentionally chosen from between the crudest and cruellest bullies in order to deliberately suppress the people via a dirty way of psychological denigration and contemptuous treatment.
” put whatever you have brought with yourselves on your beds; move your asses, wankers” It was the bulky sergeant, with the calf-like head, who issued this order. It was actually the fear which made the young soldiers to put their luggage on their beds in a flash, and standing beside their beds like stony statues. As the other Two sergeants- the stout one with his freckly face and the tall one with his long and bearded face- were searching through the pile of luggage on the beds, the bulky sergeant came to me just to remind me that I was already a soldier and no soldier had the right of putting his hands in his pockets. He did it in the most possible outrageous manner by calling me son of a bitch; and then said to me ” well, let me see what you have in your bags” he just screamed as he opened my second bag which was full of books; and said to me: ” so, you are a fucking Christian ! Why did not you tell me when I asked you to become ready for Namaz(prayer)? why did you come to mosque with us? You fucking bastard! I will let you know!” I, puzzled, disturbed, teased and absolutely harassed replied: ” I am not a christian” Shut your dirty mouth! He replied furiously while he was turning the pages of the book in his hands. ” you got Bible and Two other books about Jesus Christ in your bag and yet telling me that you are not a christian” He added in a sarcastic language; and before I could add any more word to explain the matter, it was his wide and heavy hand which lashed on my already painful face . all of a sadden I felt blind as a sharp pain rushed from my swollen nose up to my brain; and then it was blood, warm and dark, running down on my white jacket. A pure sense of innocency, imparted by my blood, was circulating in every atom of my body; so, I was feeling free , light, and multiplied in existence, floating on the surface of current moments which seemed were patiently going to help me to ge to a rational and rich way of concluding my struggle, as I obviously could not sense any feeling of hatred towards that bulky and impolite sergeant.
”Why did he slap you so savagely?” It was one of my fellow soldiers who asked me this question while he was washing my face in the dirty and stinky toilet. The bleeding was not going to stop. ” the only way to stop it is keeping your head under this cold water for at least Ten minutes” my fellow soldier said. As I held my head under the cold water, my body began to shake and after a few minutes I felt faint as the bleeding seemed far more serious than I could imagine. I knew what would be the consequences of bleeding for me, as I had been suffering from a minor anaemia, so I tried to let my fellow soldier knows about my really threatening condition; but as I turned to him, his face became a distorted picture in my mind, before I could utter even a word. And it was not before Four hours later that I came to in the hospital to see myself laying down as motionless and mute as a real dead body. As I was trying to open my eyes, a dim figure, dressed fully in white, was approaching my bed; and seconds later I felt a strange warmth, so invigorating, as elevating and genuine that I could not accept that it had actually been a worldly feeling, inserting my body and my soul via a fleshy and beautiful hand. Then, I saw the owner of that warm and beautiful hand. She was an unbelievably beautiful woman; her thick and black eyebrows gave her an air of mythical beauty. Her big , black and shining eyes was so inspiring and hopeful which instantly caused me to forget what had happened to me. She looked at me on the eyes and then smiled and said ” thanks to God, you seem very well. A blood-vessel have been hurt and you have lost a lot of blood; but your body is very strong, so I think you will be fully recovered in a few days” then she added , while connecting another serum to my hand: ”There are here a sergeant and Two soldiers to take you back to the garrison, but I am not going to let them do so. You must stay here for at least Three days more.” It was just unbelievable for me to see the bulky sergeant standing in a few metres away from me with a pair of handcuff in his hand, in which I had been slapped with. The beautiful doctor turned to the sergeant, while her twisted thick eyebrows gave her face an absolute air of charisma, and said to him: ” he is my patient. He has lost a lot of blood. So, I do not allow you to take him so soon” the bulky sergeant, blushed and furious, replied: ” we think that he should be an anti-revolution; and the worse, an anti-Islam. So, If he escaped, you, surely would be held responsible for that” with an other twist of eyebrows, the beautiful doctor responded in an incisive tone: ” although what you are telling me is absolutely nonsensical, but I will take on the responsibility for this boy staying here, while showing the way out to the bulky sergeant who became embarrassed and was awkwardly trying to pull himself together” ”ok, I will leave, but these Two soldiers stay here to watch him around the clock!” said the bulky sergeant and left.
No wise man gets tempted to escape while in such a funny pyjamas; I said to one of the soldiers who had come follow me to the toilet, while looking at my pale face in the mirror. ” I am a soldier, and I do my duty. I am sorry for disturbing you” replied the soldier. seeing how the trace of bulky sergeant’s hand was imprinted on the right side of my face, was enough harrowing to cause a sadden and sharp pain in my nose; and then an intricate feeling occurred to me; an air of self-pitying was part of that intricate feeling which in fact was going to involve me into an other beautiful and seminal struggle. Although I was very young, but I was relatively capable of digesting my mental challenges in a reasonable manner. Finally I came up with this idea that taking on any kind of self-pity in the way of understanding would cause a great failure in the process of self-realization. So, I took it as a serious note which definitely could be effective in the way of shaping and formation of my personality and trends.
In the way back to my bed, I saw Two men, sitting on the wooden bench at the end of the narrow corridor . As I approached them, they turned to me. Their excessively confident faces with the short and meticulously trimmed beards, made me sure that they were members of Security Service. All of a sadden I felt a sharp pain in my spine, while my heart was nearly going to let me down , as my already paralysed mind flashed back to remind me of how the only son of our neighbour in Shiraz had been taken away from his house by the Security Service’s agents and his dead body had been brought back to his totally crushed family after Two days. I, like a frightened sparrow, looking in the eyes of Two vipers, had just One desire left to think about: to be vanished! to be vanished! In a delirious tone, this word was echoing in a far distance, in a near distance, in somewhere, in nowhere of my mind. ”What is going on here? ”It was the pleasant sound which I had already recorded it in my mind. The beautiful doctor, just dashed to the end of the corridor, where the Two Security Service’s agents now were standing up as their unbelievably intimidating eyes were going to switch into a professional look. As the doctors’ presence had already given me a chance of taking a deep breath and pulling myself together, I looked at them more bravely than before I did through an absolutely obscure vision. In their similarities to viper, I had no reason to make any doubt as I could see no human attributes in their glowing eyes. Both of them were tall and slim and worn in dark jackets. One of them had a small and black cap on his big head which seemed to be a heavy burden to his slim body, and the other one had a big black spot right beside his nose which had given his face a strange smack of hypocrisy. ” we have to take him right now” he was the one with the black cap on his head who let the beautiful doctor to know how he was serious in his request, as he imparted his intention in the most possible tone of confidence and certainty; and before the beautiful doctor could make an answer even in her mind to reply, the other one, raised his hand to stop her . ” so, please, please give me just twenty minutes to check his condition” the beautiful doctor said. ” OK, but just Ten minutes” replied one of them. As the beautiful doctor shut the door behind us, I saw an other Two viper-like men standing on the other side of the window; and It was actually why the Two viper-like men inside had not make any objection to closing the door by the doctor.
”listen” said the beautiful doctor as the agitation had made her fabulous face much more beautiful. ” I know what is your problem; I have been told about it. And I have already learnt a little about you; I found your diary in the breast-pocket of your jacket . you are a very promising writer. You have got a fantastic ability to observe and recognising on different issues, plus possessing a prose of a very high quality. I have read all your writings, so I think It had better I keep it with myself because the contents in your diary are of a nature which can give these people more excuses to put you in a real trouble. I have experienced facing with these strange and stony-face people during the time that I was studying in Tehran university; so, I advise you not to dispute with them over your beliefs. Just try to take on an apologetic and somewhat ignorant position against them. and above all, if you are not a member of any political party, I am sure you will get through this problem with your ability at reasoning and justification.” She handed me a blue bag, while telling me that my jacket was not washable and asking me to change my clothes. As I unzipped the blue bag and saw the clothes in it which were exactly of a pleasant correspondence with my taste, I felt a great sense of intimacy and attachment towards that fabulous woman who really was a genuine human being, privileged by a dual beauty, the beauty of inside and the beauty of outside.” my name is Zahra. I wish you the best of all. I wish to see you soon again.” She said so , while one of the Two agents were handcuffing me.
I had already been blindfolded when I was pushed into the car. Perhaps it was the blindfold which had given me a chance of concentrating on my mind to relatively find a rational answer for such a mischievous conduct which definitely could not repose on any kind of human rationality and consistency of mind. It seemed to me somehow strange to see myself being arrested by the most influential security organisation just for possessing some books which in fact had been inevitably chosen due to my serious intention of studying the world literature and knowing about the world which I did belong to. Honestly, I was not able to dispose the words in a cohesive way for getting to a relevant conclusion due the oddness of the issue.
” are you christian?’ this question was asked by the man who was sitting on the other side of the iron table which definitely had been the only witness of the most nonsensical and inhuman questions being asked in that dark and grave-like room. I was not able to see his face as the strong lamp which were hanged over the table was angled towards me. No, I am not a christian. I replied. ” you are lying like a Dog!” he responded. I, mused: Likening a human being to a dog in way of telling lies, is not so fair as a grateful and loyal animal like Dog never lies. ” I am not lying, sir” I answered. ” so, you are a Muslim! Ok. I am wondering if you make a virtue of necessity by reciting somethings from Quran” he said to me, in a mocking tone. I, immediately, began to recite from different chapters of Quran and ended with adding that Quran encourages human beings to look for knowledge in every corner of the universe. An absolute silence occurred for a few seconds. and then in a different tone he said: ” and else?” , I continued: – while aware of consequences of applying my own opinions to my responses in a critical way, on the final decision which was going to be made about me-, ” the essence of Quran and Islam is based on wisdom through a metaphysical philosophy” , and again I concluded with adding an other thoughtful religious quotation : ” search for knowledge and wisdom from cradle to grave”, thereby, I was trying to indirectly justify my ardent passion for reading books in general, and in particular for books about Christianity and Jesus. The next question that was asked by him, left no doubt for me that he was one the most elite interrogators in its own kind: ”what do you mean by telling THE ESSENCE OF QURAN AND ISLAM?” I , suddenly, realised that I had gone a little too far with my explanations, by forgetting the doctor’s advice on the necessity of performing an ignorant personality against these viper-like people. So, I had to compensate for my failure in being ignorant; thus I answered : ” I mean every thing in Islam is OK!”
” you know, you are an unlucky boy just because of being a Muslim in this case as you have already proved it to me. You know, being a Muslim and reading such books which you can not deny the meticulousness that you have applied to your notes on them in your notepad, means that you have already adopted the new belief, I mean you are a converted and surely you have an intention of transferring your opinions to others. Yes, it is a very nasty intention which surely you will pay for it; yes you will pay a very high price for it!” the weight which he put on HIGH PRICE , honestly caused a very terrible tingle in all my cells. ” Last temptation of Christ- Recrucified Jesus- The philosophy of Christianity and the Bible, these books plus your digests on them on your notepad are obvious proofs which will leave no room to make any doubt that you do not believe in Islam no longer.” I, in a stammering tone asked him for being allowed to give the relevant explanations on my books and my intention of reading them. In a jeering tone, he said: ” OK! OK! Let me know! Fill me in” I , still struggling to over come my stammering tongue, said to him : ” I have chosen these books just because of their writer who is one of the greatest writers in the world. You know , Sir, I am interested in writing ; so, I have to know the elites in this issue. Therefor the Greek writer , Nikos Kazantzakis as a writer who possessed a specific style of writing is one of my favorite ones as I think studying his books can be of a great and beneficial help for me in the way of learning the clues and tricks of writing. This time, in amazingly a solemn tone , he said: ” is he just a religious writer?” I, unhappy with his tone! Replied: ” no sir, he was a philosopher, and a poet as well; but from my point of view his works on Christianity and Jesus are his unique works.” This time in a conclusive tone, he said to me: ” listen, you cockerel are trying to make the piss out of me; you have intentionally gathered these books as it is obvious that you have been looking for the philosophy of Christianity rather than of having been interested in reading the works of an specific writer. Therefore, I am going to send to the hell, where you will be privileged to associate with Jesus and the Greek writer; so that, you can learn all the clues and tricks of writing and of course you will learn a lot about the Christianity in a very practical way! Adding to this, that you have got an other book which is a forbidden book in this country, I have no reason not to believe that you can be a very harmful creature for this country and of course for the Islam.
”Looking for an other philosophy as a young Muslim boy through an other religion means you have already made an opposing idea in your mind towards Islam and of course Islamic regime. You have written in your notepad that we can live an ethic life even without God. Do you know what a sinister idea is that? That is sheer BLASPHEMY! Yes, you rubbish are even against GOD! No human being can live an ethic life without religion and God; but you rubbish boy have a nasty intention of imparting such BLASPHEMOUS opinions to the others.” He said so; and adjusted the lamp hanging over the table in order to let me see him. I , already passed out by hearing such awful accusations, was not that willing to see his face. Fortunately his hidden eyes behind a wide sunglasses were not able to bug me in a psychological way. The reflection of light on his sunglasses was leaving an strange and frightening effect on my mind as I knew that my life could be easily attached to an infinite darkness. Now I could see his hands which due to my delirious frame of mind, seemed to me unusually big and frightening. He banged his hand on the table and said: ” how did you get this book? ” while pushing the book towards me. The white pig on the book’s cover was looking at me in a pose as if he was going to answer instead of me. I answered : ” in the basement of a house. a deserted house , belongs to some people who had left the country at the time of revolution. My father’s lorry was hired by the man who had bought that house, so I went there by my father and there I came upon this book” He pulled the book back and said: ” You are lying like a Dog!” It was for the second time that that arrogant human being made me to regret for hearing a dog to have compared in such an unfair way with human being as really a Dog is the beautiful symbol of honesty and gratitude. ” Animal Farm! Animal Farm!” he read out the title of book in a very furious tone, and then added : ” You rubbish, have written in your notepad which this book undoubtedly is an adaptation of all the known revolutions in the world. How dare you to express such dirty opinions while you are living in a sacred country which is ruled over by the God and his virtuous servants who have dedicated themselves to the country and people? As a matter of course, I am under no illusion that you must be a member of an anti-Islam and opposing group of daydreamers who think the Islamic regime will be toppled by your ridiculous opinions. Now, you have Two choices: first : like a son of human being tell me which group are you working for, and the second: keep making me fool with your articulate answers; although I do not believe that either way will make that difference in my final decision about you rubbish infidel.” I, stunned and mute, was trying to understand the meaning of one of his phrases, ” like a son of human being” while I had previously been compared to a Dog in way of telling lies; but honestly at those agonizing moments I would sooner to have been asked t go on with the rest of interrogation like a son of Dog; free of hypocrisy, and human considerations, as I was not able to perceive any kind of attribute related to humanity in those awful moments.
” I will let you know! I will let you know!” he said to me in a malicious tone while leaving the cell. Absolute darkness. Deadly silence. Frozen moments. I was feeling cold. I was feeling hot. As a young boy it was too much for me to cope with, as I knew in such cases there would be a low possibility of getting rid of the satanic attitude that had been the main reason of exercising the power and hegemony in an exhaustive manner for a long time. suppressing any kind of expression which should be a suggestive of opposing trends, had been the destructive policy of the amazingly intelligent group of rulers, ruling over Iran. Branding the youths as ANTI-REVOLUTION( as they consider the revolution as a divine gift, and as sacred as God himself; so any adverse opinion to the principles of revolution is considered as confrontation with God), and killing them with the absolutely inhuman intention of escalating the horror between the families in order to make them to prevent their youths from being involved in political issues, had been the horrible manner of Islamic regime in controlling the people.
It was the darkness which had already begun to insinuate a bitter sense of defencelessness and obliviousness in my confused mind. I was feeling an intricate sadness through every word which was shattered as soon as it had been shaped in my mind, before being able to get its content. The multitude of different thoughts with different contents were just rushing out of my mind as if they were trying to save themselves from being destroyed in those infertile moments which were going to impart a sense of giving the hope of survival up. All of a sudden I burst into a hysterical laughter and then cry; and it was enough revealing to let me know that in fact the real and bitter death of a marvelous creature like human being was just cowardliness and humiliation. Thereby, the miraculous function of moments in yielding to everlasting values, acted rightly upon my mind and helped me to pull myself together and brace my mind and my soul to encounter with whatever which was to happen next, trough a much more honourable attitude.
A meager thread of light which was lazily trying to penetrate into the absolute darkness of the cell, made me aware of the presence of my interrogator in the cell for the second time. As soon as he closed the door behind him , the hanging light over the table was turned on. As a result of a sudden change in my morale, this time I really was not that worried about whatever which he was going to tell me. After adjusting the light, he sat on the chair which its cracking legs let me know that the person sitting on it, was an overweight one. A short piece of a thick and black cable was slowly pushed forward on the table by the hand which did not seem to my sight as big as it had seemed to my frightened eyes at the first time. He, growled at me, perhaps to break down the self-confidence that I had already obtained by undergoing an emotional challenge( which probably had been imparted to him via my indifferent attitude to his presence in the cell) ”listen bastard , right now you have to tell me, in full details, understood? In full details, I mean thoroughly, whatever you know about the group or party which you have been working for; otherwise I will not hesitate to make you talk in my own way” the weight that he put on MY OWN WAY and simultaneously grasping the short, thick, and black cable which was lain on the table like a frozen snake, left no doubt for me that I would be exposed to an other experiencing of pain. I replied, in a relatively confident tone: ” I am not a member of any group or party; and as I have already told you, the books which I have chosen to read are in fact the ones which I have to read as they are the fine examples which are representers of different writers and different cultures. To this, I have to add that I have already prepared a long list of all the elite writers form all over the world with no intention other than the intention of learning about my world and of course to satisfy my thirsty soul for knowledge and wisdom. As a matter of course, a writer must necessarily get the right command on all branches of human sciences, from philosophy to religion and to the most ordinary human customs and beliefs. So, reading a book, written by an enormously skillful Greek writer which is a fantastic revision on Christianity and Jesus, surely, surely, can be of a great assistance in the way of learning and acquiring the clues on the ways of expanding the ability of observation and recognition. As to the Animal Farm, as a masterpiece of the world’s literature and its genuine and great writer with that specific style of writing and applying imagination and a very bitter humour to his great works, I, really , have had no desire other than the soul-elevating desire of learning. Adding to this that I as the first child of a poor and populated family that its only breadwinner is my small but vigorous father who barely have been able to provide us with butter and bread, used to work after school and at summer holidays to earn some money just to buy my desired books as I knew my father would never afford to pay the awful expenses of sending me to the university. Now I am absolutely puzzled to understand why I have to be kicked on the ass, why I have to be slapped on head, why I have to be punched on the nose, and above all, why I have to be arrested by the Security Service?!!” as I finished with my explanations, he moved his bulk towards the door, and a few seconds later an other agent crept his bulk in. The newcomer unlocked the handcuff on my hands and instantly and before I could realise how, he banged my body on the iron-table as if I was a sack of potatoes! ” talk, just talk, and tell me the name of people who you have been working for, otherwise! otherwise I will kill you right know,” and as I repeated my previous answer, the thick, short and black cable lashed blindly onto my back, and a few seconds later I was far beyond the pain as my already weakened body had become so tender which really was not able to stand being beaten so hard and savagely.
A freezing bucket of water had already made me sure that I was still alive, as one of the two agents were trying to keep my head up. ” listen bastard!” he said, while holding my chin between his strong fingers in a way as if he was going to pull it off my face. ” either you talk or not, tomorrow we will receive your records, and now, I assure you! I assure you! I, will send you to the hell, as I , promised you previously! Yes! I, will send you to the hell just to help you to be associated with all famous infidels and above all with the Jesus, the Greek writer and all the other elite writers,” then, they were gone; and I was left alone with the darkness and silence of my cell which strangely seemed to me as a place out of time and current moments. It did not take me more than a couple of seconds to realise that my hands were in fact tied from behind to the chair which I was sitting on. I was so tired; I wished to sleep ; I wished to lay down and put my face on the floor, in order to feel the earth and getting rid of the heavy responsibilities of a living creature and to be pulled into the focus of gravity in the heart of the earth. As my body was getting cold, the pain began to surge in all my cells. My wet cloths had already doubled the irritating pain of my wounds, constituted by that awful piece of Cable and it was really going to make me feel absolutely desperate. All of a sudden a killing desire for the water made me aware of my intensive thirst which in fact had been forgotten as a material need in the frenzy of inner struggles. As the thirst and pain were allied to take me to the climax of a melancholic exasperation, my nerves came, timely, to help me by giving a halt to sending the maddening impulses to my brain; so the numbness followed by a delirious sleep which yield to a horrible but thoughtful dream: ” I saw myself, wandered in the middle a very hot desert, running like a frightened Dog, towards an unknown destination. ”Steps. Steps. horror. horror. Mirage. Just keep running; do not look back. You would not see any butterfly in this hell! Steps! Steps! getting closer ,going away!” A voice was telling me. far, far away, close, very close, a Shack, a wooden, or perhaps an earthen Shack was looming. I quickened my paces. The Shack, moving over the mirage, rather a boat; the mirage, retreating in a way as if to nowhere, rushing forward in a way as if to no target, rather a wave in the middle of a vast ocean . ” no butterfly in this hell! keep running! Lizards! Lizards! They are getting closer! They are getting closer!” the voice was telling me again. It is true! It is true! I cried as a certain figure was enlarging through my vague sight; a man, an old one, dressed in white loose cloths, his long beard, grey and tidy, poured down almost on his belly. He waved me, and instantly uttered: ” hey! hey! wandered! to where, are you running so fast?” and a few moments later I was standing in front of him, gasping like a thirsty dog, while trying to utter something as an answer. ” I, I am looking for a butterfly” I answered. He, taking on a look of sagacity, and shrewdness, looked at me, straight on the eyes, and then exclaimed: ” here?! In this bare desert?! Butterfly?! In a garden, in a green place and in the growing season one should get tempted to look for a butterfly. Come. Come with me. The thirst must be eased off before it burns your brain”
The world Inside the wooden shack was absolutely different with the boiling world outside. It was cool and pleasant. opposite the door, there were a remarkable number of books, setting on each other in a way that looked like a tower. A small wooden – table with an open scroll on it- which was accompanied by Two small stools, was perfectly a suggestive of a pure sagacity and intellectuality. As soon as I sat on one of the stools, he handed me an earthen – jug of cool water. ” never, ever rush in getting rid of thirst” he said, as I , instantly, held the jug between my hands. As the thirst was eased off, I came to his fantastic point; it was in fact a great and thoughtful philosophy; as thirst , in a metaphorical point of view, is the beginning point of an instructive challenge in the process of getting involved in the beautiful struggles for knowledge and realization. ” well, young man, lucky young man, you could have been eaten by those giant Lizards in this desert; but you are still alive and surely able to let me know why have you been wandered in this desert?” he said, while his glowing eyes were going to burn me into ashes of regret and sorrow for the real love and altitude of genuine human values. ” I am escaping” I said in a lamentable tone. ” from who? from where?” he said ,as his eyes seemed to me as an everlasting origin of light and brightness. ”I do not know from who or from where;I am just escaping. I said so and felt an ambiguous constraint somewhere behind my mind. ”listen” he said ” no human being can escape to no where, we are prisoners, we are the victims of stupidity and ambiguity; yes my dear, we are intricate beings , tangled with a lofty philosophy in which there is no way to certainty and clearness. Thereby, we had better to take on an alternative way of approaching the life and its inevitable rules. So, I think, to define the word ”escape”, we need to avoid of its literal existence as we really are not enough able to adopt it in a practical manner.” As I was finished with the drinking of the remaining water in the earthen-jug he was vanished as if he had not been there at all. I, frightened to death, laboured to put my body on my legs; and before I could repose on my mind to know what to do, the books, the tower of books, started to burn. I could see the words, the certain words, which were fluttering towards the ceiling. And all of a sudden the burning books turned to a fountain of blood, surging up and falling down as the words, the certain words, seen and unseen, were bobbling in a way as if they were intended to save themselves of being dissolved in the blood. As the fountain of blood changed to its previous form of a burning tower, I saw Two groups of words, right on the face of the fire, trying to stand beside each other to impart something; and as they succeeded in getting to a relatively parallel situation I read Two sentences: ”death is an eternal agony!!” and ” death is freedom” and a few moments later I was running to escape from the desert to the people, or perhaps from nowhere to nowhere!! I was running. I was crying. I was laughing. I was singing; and the sinister utterance of ” death is an eternal agony” were echoing all over the desert in a deafening tone. No butterfly can be found in this desert…………. we are prisoners………
Four days later a miracle, a real miracle happened. I was informed of being released in a few hours. Adverse to my optimistic view towards any single phenomenon in life, I did not felt any kind of authenticity in that news, as I had never heard of anyone who would have been released in case of being arrested by Scurity Service. As an absolutely inhuman procedure, killing and destroying , had been the terrible manner of dealing with oppositions, within the awful principles of the horrible Islamic regime of Iran. Thus, although, it was true that I was not a significant person, and above all, that I had not been involved in no kind of political activities against regime, but I, as a person born, and brought up in that God-forgotten country, knew that many people, young, very young people had been destroyed through that sinister policy. By that time I had already studied the chronicles of all the events which had constituted the circumstances within Two specific periods: The time of Shah and before the revolution and the time of Islamic regime and after the revolution. So, as far as I knew , almost all of the significant figures of the Islamic regime had been imprisoned for long periods in the time of previous regime; and in fact they had been offered the chance of remaining alive and going on with their beliefs in an absolutely fair and frank condition; and in fact and according to the authentic documents, they had been allowed in prisons to study, to write, and to communicate with the world outside. Adding to this, a remarkable number of this astute and tricky people had been living on long time exiles at the time of Shah(king), as everybody knows, Imam Khomeini was one of these people who as the leader, led the revolution while on exile. So, it was obvious for me that the Mullahs who in fact had been nourished in the jails of previous regime instead of being flogged , slapped , denigrated, punished and destroyed, had already learnt their lessons from that fair and human way of dealing with oppositions; and therefore they took the policy of killing and destroying on, absolutely adverse to what that that so-called tyrannic Shah(king) and his regime had done to them. Therefore , there was no doubt for me that the secret of controlling and ruling within the principles of Islamic regime was the sinister policy of killing the oppositions, particularly the young and raw ones , in order to prevent them of turning to mature and wise oppositions; in this, the memory of Iranian nation never ever forget those GRAVEYARDS, called:” LAANAT ABAD”( the place populated by cursed people) which were populated by the youths ( who were our brothers and sisters) without even a sign over their graves to be known perhaps by a passerby.
” hey! You f***ing talented boy!” said to me my interrogator, in a sarcastic tone. ”You are the luckiest creature who I have ever seen in whole my life! We have already received your records which is telling us that you have no bad records at all; and you blabber boy are a very talented football player who has already played in teenagers’ national team for Three years and has relatively made a name for himself; and surely, has got a bright future; but listen bastard! I do not give a shit to the future of rubbishes like you because you bastards are ungrateful people who are using the opportunities which has been created by Islamic regime for you and yet you are treason ably trying to skew the values of the regime which in fact is the divine values which have been offered to us by great God. You, bastard might have been a devotee to such a regime that has provided you bastards such amazing atmosphere in which a bastard like you has been able to progress and playing for national team. It is shameful that you bastard instead of being faithful to your religion and your leaders, have got some ludicrous trends in your mind towards things which are barely worthy of shit!’ Any way we have already received a letter asking us to release you! Shit! Yes, to release you! You cockerel! Who in my point of view are a potential threat to the Islamic values, as I am under no illusion that you have been brainwashed by the enemies of Islam and Islamic regime. Although, although, I am sure that there is something wrong in this issue , but I am going to let you go; but I promise you to send you to the hell, if, if, in the future you insist in retaining to your nasty opinions” all of sudden my heart was laden with horror and pain as the handcuff was unlocked and I was blindfolded again as it was really unbelievable for me that they were really going to release me. On the Thirty Second step as the last one to climb, I felt like ascending , to the farthest place in the sky, far, far beyond the reach of fear and obligation. Coming out from that awful basement was like coming out of a very deep grave although the person who was actually dragging me up seemed to me as a suggestive of an undertaker from the hell.
I was kicked into the car by the man who I could not see and I would not like to see even if I could. As the rampageous car took on a smoother strain in moving , my interrogator began to rant again ; and as he was going to take on a nasty and mischievous language( and in fact to prove that how the so-called divine and worthy trends within the Islamic regime have been actually so much effective that have constituted such a disgusting attitude which shamelessly call the interests for knowing about the other religions: ” barely Worthy of shit!”), my mind popped up a bittersweet memory back to Four years ago that I saw my picture on a very popular sport magazine. Seeing my own picture on such a magazine caused so much happiness in my little heart that I really was not able to bear it; so I cried from the bottom of my heart; I danced , like crazy; I sang, awkwardly; and I did whatever a poor and a crazy with Football teenager would probably do. After reading the captions under my photo ( which had praised me as a talented teenager) for more than Ten times, I saw my name in a list of the best teenagers who had been chosen and invited to Tehran to play for national team. Remembering that going to Tehran would cost me some money , was enough distressing to spoil my invigorating happiness, as I knew it would be very difficult for my poor parents to provide me with the needed money and also to buy me some suitable clothes, and above all a pair of just enough good Football boot. On the same day I had to prepare myself for setting off the long journey to Tehran on the next day. So, I left the school and headed for home ; knowing that how my mother and my Four brothers would become happy of hearing the news of my being chosen for the national team , had made me cheered up again. As the door was opened by my youngest brother who had not gone to school on that day, I saw my mother , coming in from the backyard; and before she could ask me to explain about being at home at that time instead of being at school, I waved the Magazine over my hand and while trying to dance like one of the Brazilian who I had previously seen on TV, let her know about her unasked question. Pride and rapture added a dual whiteness and beauty to the lines of my mother’s genuine face. She hugged me with all her maternal affection. The moments were multiplied in themselves to enrich the effects of love and pure beauties of human soul. She said, while slapping me gently on face: ” you are deserved it my son; and I am sure you will be the best in Tehran” and as she hugged me again, I whispered under her ear: ” mum I am sorry but I need some money and—–” and all of a sudden I felt moments came into a freezing halt, as my mothers’ hands stopped tapping my back. Her face, tangled in pain. Her eyes , moistured and laden with a dark sorrow, as she looked at my face in an embarrassed posture. As an emotional and still childish teenager It was too much for me to bear; in fact it was the first , heaviest and the most poignant experience of poverty that I had to undergo. That dear women, that kind angel, that patient and lovely women, that perfect symbol of humanity and commitment who was breaking down before my eyes, was my mother, my hope, and my dearest; every single drop of her tears was like a heavy burden, dropping on my tender soul. So I cried and said to my mother (while my little brother was trying to empathize with me in my destroying struggle by holding my hands in his tiny hands) : ” listen mum, I am going to forgo the football; so I will not go to Tehran; I mean I do not need any money, clothes, or shoes; listen mum, I am OK. I am happy” ” no. no.no” She said,while trying to shape a smile on her shivering lips . ” you have to go; so as your uncle knows that your father is away, I am sure he can help us with the needed money” I stopped her of going further with her plan to borrow money by telling her that I would go if she got enough money to buy me a bus ticket.
The next day I was sitting in a bus which was headed to Tehran, feeling like a little alien tramp, wandered in the world of humans , with no desire left to think about but the desire of being told where to go. A bag, a ridiculous bag (which its contents were rather effective in making me feel distressed and bored than making me to feel at least a childish interest for what I had) was the only belonging which I had with myself. As to my pocket and its contents , surely it was not less distressing and boring than my bag and its content. I got just enough money to buy some cheap foods and paying for the Taxi on the next day to take me to the Iran’s Football Federation. And finally the next day, on a beautiful but cold Autumnal afternoon I saw myself walking on the velvet turf of Azady Stadium as one of the most beautiful and biggest stadiums in the world. It was so stimulating and invigorating that I forgot that my absolutely worn out shoes was not enough good for playing on that lustrous and slippery turf. Adverse to the killing burden of pain and sorrow which had already settled down the bottom of my heart like a layer of lead, I was hopeful and overconfident as the miracle of moments had already helped me to spot my quest which was to play a beautiful football for my mother, just for my mother and no one else. Eighty Five teenagers from all over the country were decidedly to show their merits and wear the beautiful shirt of national team; and after Forty Five days of training sessions I found myself as the happiest little man between all those little men ,as I had proved myself as one the main members of the national team. And a week later on I played a fantastic football against a very strong team from Bulgaria and a few days later a team from China , while wearing the number 8 Green shirt of national team. Every span of the green field seemed to me as a space to create something which could comes to my aid as a moral spur in dealing with the bitter and diminishing sense of poorness and deprivation; as to the patchy ball (which was actually a bewitching thing, highly capable of adding sense and quality to my quest), I had an exhaustive passion to discover all the intricate and hidden secrets in its patches as every single patch of its rampageous fabric had in fact a meaning of life and happiness for me. Two months of absolute happiness and triumph for me came to an end and I had to go back to my home; but unbelievably no one bothered to let me know how should I go back to my home when there was no money in my pocket even to buy a loaf of bread. In the morning of the night before I found myself alone in a vast camp as all my playmates had left the camp on their own on the same day. It was the caretaker of that building who came to my aid by letting me to phone one of my close friends and playmates (who in fact was the best member of our team and later on succeeded with his career to play in the world cup in Franc) and asking him for help; and finally with his help I went back to my city. This bittersweet memory was an evident proof to reject the absurd and nonsensical claim of my interrogator based on the benevolent and caring nature of the Islamic regime and its so-called affectionate leaders ; as actually the only thing which Islamic regime had had to offer to the lower classes of Iranian society in that God-forgotten country had been the heavy burden of numerous disasters like Eight years of war with Iraq, and so forth to an infinite account.
As the car stopped, my interrogator gave the last notice as a security advice by telling me that how harmful would be the consequences of disclosing what had happened to me in the building of Security Service for me in the future. Then I was thrown out of the car while the blindfold was still on my eyes. At the last moment before they leave, I was told that walking to the end of the road would lead me to the barrack. As soon as I took the blindfold off my eyes, it was the darkness which welcomed me to its horrendous sanctuary which was absolutely deteriorated by the wild wind which was awkwardly blowing to different directions. I found walking very difficult as my painful legs were not able to take on a consistent pace to carry my painful body forward.
It was half past One am when I reached the barrack as the clock mounted on the wall of security kiosk was telling me. Seeing that funny but thoughtful picture of that lovely cockerel that was forcing himself to lay the third eggs caused me to feel a surge of a very bitter humour somewhere behind my mind. The Two soldiers and a sergeant in security kiosk were looking at me in a way as if I was from an other planet, landed in my flying saucer a few moments ago. ” where are you going in this time of night?!” asked me the sergeant who was chewing something which seemed to me should be of a very bitter taste as the lines of his face were twisting like leeches , stuck in thick mud. ” I am a soldier” I said, as I was really struggling to control my shaking body which was going to let me down as a result of hunger, thirst, and sleeplessness. ” which kind of soldier are you?” asked the sergeant, who his rustling voice had already let me learn what kind of stuff he was chewing which had made him so cheerful and inconsiderate that I was sure he would go on with his nonsense questions for a long time; so, I told him my name and the relevant explanations on my situation in a short sentence and after being obliged to answer some other nonsensical questions, I was taken to the relevant division.
While the soldier (who had come with me to introduce me the officer in charge on that night), was knocking on a small wooden door, I was praying for not being faced with an other person, with lines of his face twisting like leeches stuck in mud, as a result of chewing at a bitter stuff. As the door was opened I took a very long breath, as the person who emerged from the room was the same solemn and tidy officer in blue uniform, and polished boots, who I had seen at the first night of my unfortunate presence in that place. As the soldier left, the solemn, and tidy officer said to me : ” I have been waiting for you from morning up to know”, while putting his hand around my shoulder and leading me into his office. A sharp pain rushed up to my brain as I sat on the wooden and solid chair, as my buttock had been badly wounded by that bloody piece of cable. ” sit on the bed” he said without looking at me while making a big mug of tea. As soon as I began to sip the hot tea, my mind just rushed me to muse on what the officer told me as the first sentence: ” I have been waiting for you from morning up to now” and then instantly I uttered, in absolute amazement: ” is it true that you have been————?” ”yes my dear” he said in a very kind voice. ” yes it is true and it is also true that you are a very clever boy, and as it goes without saying that you are absolutely worn out; so I am not going to keep you sitting here for a long time” then he handed a piece of sky blue paper and added : ” read it and give it back to me” I unfolded the fine sky blue paper which ran so:
My sensible brother
” they smell your breath,
lest you have said ” I love you”
They smell you heart.
These are strange times my dear…
And they flog love
at the roadblock..
We had better hide love in the closet….
In this crooked dead end and twisting chill,
they feed the fire
with the kindling of song and poetry.
Do not risk a thought.
These are strange times my dear
He who knocks on the door at midnight
has come to kill the light.
We had better hide light in the closet…..
Those there are butchers
stationed at the crossroads
with the bloody cloves and cleaves.
These are strange times my dear.
And they excise smiles from lips.
We had better hide joy in the closet…
Canaries barbecued on a fire of lilies and jasmines.
These are strange times my dear.
Satan drunk with victory
sits at our funeral feast.
We had better hide God in the closet…….”
”Ahmad Shamlu”
My dear brother , we are victims of stupidity and oppression; and there is nothing for us to do at the present time which weather is so cold and poisonous; but surely one day shall be our day, a day of
light and prosperity. I will do my best to dig you out of your grave.
D. Zahra
I raised my head from the paper to look at the officer’s face in order to confirm my guess; so, in just a few seconds my guess was ratified by the lines of officer’s solemn face; and before I could compose any sentence as a question, he said, while smiling and shaking his head: ” I do not know her; I mean I do not know her very well; but my answer to your unasked question is that you are right about your guess.” he said, after an instant halt which followed by an other instant halt: ” she is my sister; she is a perfect woman; a very capable and kind woman. These are the only things that I know about her. To prevent you of asking more questions, I should let you know that she had been sent to this province by the University of Tehran to make a report on the situation of hospitals and other hygienic issues in this area; so, you have been very lucky for being arrested at the time that she was in this city’s hospital. She told me about you and your problem. Yesterday she phoned me just to let me know that the lucky boy would be released in Twenty Four hours. and I think what I have already told you is more than enough for you to know about your miraculous escape from the hands of death.” I handed the paper to him and a few seconds later on the sky blue paper was turning to black and burnt pieces which were performing a dance of pain and thought over a flame which seemed ashamed of itself to burn those rich words for no other than reason but the reason of hiding love , friendship and thought. ”we had better hide these kind of communications in the ashes not in the closets; perhaps, perhaps, to make an eternal flame of them in the future.” the officer said so and sighed, deep and bitter. ”get up, get up” he said to me, while an other officer came in . ” we should go home; you need to take a shower and of course your wounds have to be cured as soon as possible; to this, my wife knows what to do as she got a playful son at the same age with you who sometimes hurt himself , so his mother have already acquired some tips in this case. As to your inner wounds, I think there will be no easy and instant remedy for that, but the remedy of time”
It was around Twelve am that I got up in the officer’s home to receive the warmest love and affection from the officer’s wife, son and girl. A kiss on my forehead by the officer’s wife who was a real angel, created an elevated moment in my heart to feel a holy respect for the holy maternal ingrained sentiments in the heart of woman. Officer’s son hugged me so warm and friendly that I felt a Thousands-years old and forgotten brotherhood and friendship somewhere behind my mind. As to his daughter and her beautiful eyes that gave me a pure sense of the essence of human life, I felt a familiar smack of an old, holy, and forgotten love towards her. Being with that nice and affectionate family for a couple of hours had effectively cheered me up and ready to think of a more effective way of approaching the mental struggles which were going to involve me in an intricate challenge which was a little stronger than my abilities in working its different layers out in a rational manner.
Passing through the narrow streets of the awful city, while the dark, mischievous, and blind wind, allied with the sand and dust to make the dark life of the city darker, was blindly lashing into faces which were tightly wrapped up in white cloths, was in fact the first opportunity for me to see the face of that awful city which really seemed to me as the most perefct suggestive of loneliness and remoteness. A dark and sad air of vulnerability and deprivation was ruling over the city and its unfortunate people who their concealed faces in the white cloths, definitely were the gloomiest faces in the world. ” what is this crazy wind?” I asked officer who was looking out through the car’s windscreen in a way as if he was driving a submarine under the deep and dark waters of an unknown ocean. ”this wind” he said in a bitter tone. ” begins to blow from the first moments of the Autumn and keeps blowing to the last moments of it; I mean it keeps blowing for exactly and fully One hundred and Twenty days.” a few minutes later on as the car was pulled over and the officer lef the car to buy some disinfectant, I opened the carrier bag which had been given to me by the officer’s kind family. The first thing which I pulled out was a tiny book wrapped in a green piece of paper; and when I unwrapped the book and saw the portrait of its writer, all the hidden corners of my mind and my heart were ignited by an abstract surge of word, meaning, and poetry. It was actually a present from officer,s daughter which its contents were amazingly of a very close and correspondent nature to my state of mind at those boring moments. The book was a collection of Forogh Farrokzad,s poetry; the woman who her poetry works was as short and rich as her life. I turned the pages one after an other and just devoured the words which ran so: ” I will greet the painful growth of poplars which pass through the dry seasons; I will greet the streams which were flowed in me; I will greet the clouds which were my lengthy thoughts.” ” the sun was dead and no one knew that the sad dove, which escaped from hearts was Faith.”
Returning Back to that vast barrack which its buildings had seemed to me somehow alien , instantly gave me a good sense of interest for the new experiences which I was going to acquire. ” would you please give some explanations about these buildings” I asked officer while we were walking down the barrack. He laughed loudly, stopped walking, while looking on my eyes, and said: ” my son, you got a fantastic eye which works correspondingly with your imaginative mind; well, very well; let me know what have you found different in these buildings which has made so curious to know about them?” I said: ” the architecture, the red bricks and the wooden doors; these things are obviously indicating a fine delicacy and solemnity which is different with those in our architecture.” he tapped me on the back and said: ” you are absolutely right; because these buildings had been made by English back to many years ago.” I, while absolutely wondered, uttered: ” English! Here! In these ruins! In this desert!!? What really they had been looking for here in this place which even the sky over it does not seem so willing to roof it?” he burst into a cheerful laughter and said: ” my sensible son, this is an unbelievably great question; thank you; thank you indeed for asking such a thoughtful question. Treasures are hidden in the heart of ruins. No precious thing can be found in a garish and flamboyant city or palace ; so, as a matter of course, the intelligent English who had been privileged by an exquisite merit and will, surely had been aware of this attitude more than any other nation in this world, who had bothered themselves to come here from the other side of the world and made such amazing buildings which have amazed you , and of course many others will be amazed by this, as the future will reveal the treasure which English had been looking for in this awful place.” the resonance of words ”merit and will” were beating on my mind in a pace of depth and meaning; and it occurred to me , in an instant realising, that merit, will, and love , in a consistent combination can make the people great in mind and fair in heart, and surely, people of great minds and fair hearts, get at a point which is called virtue which in fact is the point of a superb perfection. Therefore it occurred to me that English should be people of greatness in mind, fairness in heart, and of course people of love and virtue.
Now eighteen years after those dark days which followed by many other darker days, I am escaping from my home ( although I have not been able to find a proper definition for the word ”escape” as yet), I am escaping form its oppression, miseries, injustices, and its ferocity. Now I am escaping from my home, the home which buried my desires in a grave of thorn and blade; the home which wandered my soul in a hell of doubt and hesitation; the home which depressed me in the most outrageous manner. Years, has passed after years, non stop, hastily and carelessly towards the destinations, known, and unknown; but I have been lost in the darkness of a blind bias in favour of God and sanctity! Years has passed after years, but no destination, known or unknown, neither to my mind nor to my soul, has been assigned to my share of life. Years has passed after years, and have left me alone with a chill running in my blood. Now, eighteen years after those dark days which followed by many other darker days, I am looking for a trustworthy place to bury the dead songs and words which were supposed to enrich the life of that vigorous, talented, and spontaneous teenager who eighteen years ago was infatuated with words and knowledge. Nowadays, years after those dark years, in which God and religion did not allow me to search for my identity, I am still suffering from the bitter ambiguity of my existence.
A fake leader, a fake God, and a coward King.
It was in the middle of a very bitter winter. Everything, unusually seemed somehow strange to me as a seven year old boy. The atomosphere was so obscure and complicated , as sad that I really was not able to feel any rationality through my instinctive and childish observation for the obviously excessive rapture among the people. They were bobbling in a way as if they were trying to over come gravity and floated on the surface of their rapturous moments. As a quiet and somewhat aloof little boy, I really was not that successful in joining that ambiguous celebration which was supposed to welcome somethings which instinctively seemed to me much more ambiguous than the celebration itself.
After the words, ‘independence’ and ‘freedom’ which I had already learnt from my father as my vocal and simple dictionary. The word, ” leader” was the next which I tried to learn and add to my little vocabulary. Therefore I needed to be thought about that word by my father. So, he said to me: ” People are wating for the leader who is due to arrive, he is a very nice man, he is coming as the herald of independence and freedom,he is coming to kick the devil out of our houses and to bless our lives.This leader is due to arrive as an angel who is going to show us the right paths, ending in prosperity and salvation.” The only thing which I really realised from my father’s long and enthusiastic lecture was that the leader was to be a great and benevolent person with good wishes for every body. Due to my further request on the word, “leader” I came up with this question which actually popped up from my imaginative mind: ” is a leader an invincible man?” my father, with no hesitation, replied: “yes my dear son, a leader is an invincible man” all of a sudden my mind dragged me back to a not so far past, in which, I had been replied by my father to a very similar question which in fact was an other final imaginary product of my inquisitive mind as I was listening to my father’s lecture about the SHAH ( king) as we were standing on the bank of a surging river. The question was this: ” Can any one swim in this river?” my father replied: ” No one, but the Shah”
Now, Thirty years has passed from that bitter winter, in which Iranians were bobbling to welcome a ” leader” who was supposed to be the guiding angel and takes a nation to the paradise; a leader who was supposed to be the spiritual architect of a utopia in which the equality and justice would be accomplished under the God’s supervision; a leader who was supposed to be the purger of our so called obscene souls and to be the divine guide to the decency and honour. Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter that definitely can be called as the most bitter winter in the whole history of this unfortunate country, we are feeling desperate and somehow reckless due to the heavy and destructive blows which we have been receiving under a hegemonic ruling machine which was founded by a so called theocrat who was in fact just a dogmatic, illiterate, and mentally impaired man who was not even aware of what he was doing in the name of God and goodness. Nowadays, we are stuck in an infertile situation in which no grain of hope can be immune from abortion and fruitlessness; nowadays we are feeling arid and deserted; nowadays we are painfully regretting the gone with the wind opportunities which each of those could have been used as a basic watershed to set the route-planning process in a dynamic and even ground, if we had not been so infatuated with the promised utopia by a daydreamer alien who was not able even to speak the sweet language of Farsi in a proper manner. Nowadays we are wandered somewhere between the Hell and Paradise; while we are undeserved and ungrateful owners of a real Paradise with the beautiful and splendid name of IRAN.
Ayatollah Khomeini, who was entitled as the Imam of the poor and weak people as soon as he entered Iran in 1979 in a frenetic atmosphere, was the man who had come to save us from obscenity and oppression; the man who had come to Iran to set off a resurrection and invite the God to Iran! He began to rant from the very first moment of his arrival in an absolutely rambling language. He was so critical of the past rulers and kings( who he used to call them dictators) as if he himself was the pure love and affection, coming directly from the presence of God just for shedding the divine light on Iranians and bestowing them the eternal lives in order to make them the first perpetuated nation in the history of humankind on the earth! In a series of chained lectures, (which all of them were given in a rambling manner and with no relevant cohesion) he promised to make a very prefect material life for the people, especially for the poor ones; he promised them to share the great wealth of the country between all of them in the most possible meticulous way of justice and indiscrimination. Due to this issue, he told the people in particular: ” we will make everything free! You do not have to pay for the Gas, Electricity, water, and even MEAT and BREAD any more!!!” he kept rambling on ,further to his numerous promises which all of them were of a worldly and materialistic nature, of which naturally could be pleasant and interesting for the masses of people who most of them had been living in poverty and deprivation till that time.
Therefore, an intricate psychological factor which in fact was the product of the minds of malicious inner circles, was the main cause of KHOMEINI,s succeeding words to gather people about himself. It is obvious that a historically great nation that had been desperately trying to retrieve and getting to a better situation, (but had not been successful in doing so), is submissively ready to join any kind of movement which can give it a chance of being involved in issues which might lead it at least to a relatively more desirable imaginations for the future. So, the smart and greedy cronies around Khomeini , practically , and opportunistically made the most out of the people’s receptiveness morale that amazingly were growing as a vigorous surge towards Khomeini’s epic lectures. HASHEMI RAFSANJANI, this mysterious figure who has been in fact the master mind of the revolution and all the events in the recent history of this country, was the man who with his incredible intelligence used the illiterate but popular Khomeini by that time, as a tool to establish a real Islamic dictatorship.
Thereafter, under the Rafsanjani’s absolute influence over all the current issues, Khomeini’s promises to the people were sophisiticatedly diverted into a very amazing and thoughtful way, in which psychological methods, alongside with the religious dogmas, were meant to put the khomeini’s promises in a conditional ground in order to give a halt to the vigorously growing demands for the welfare state and a better social life between the people which had already begun due to the invigorating lectures given by Khomeini; therefore Khomeini in his later lectures put the necessity of undergoing a basic moral purification as an essential priority in. He said to the people who had become very optimistic about their future lives : ” you have been depraved, your morality has been contaminated, your virtue has been looted!! You are in need of virtue and spirituality; you have been living an obscene life! We have to fix your virtue and spirituality at first; we have to purge your souls” And thus, the virtue and spirituality were marked out as the essential preconditions which necessarily had to be undertaken ,prior to any kind of demand for the material and worldly life!
Thereafter, Khomeini as the the most effective tool in the hands of Rafsanjani and his astute cronies, was knowingly and unknowingly the executive of destructive plans which were meant to keep the people interested and amused with the moral issues which, were based on the religion- religious beliefs, in order to divert the certain demand for a certain life into a so called virtuous and divine demand .He was in fact the most harmful man for the masses of people who had enormously trusted him as a man of justice and good wishes. He betrayed them by using the religion and morality to put them in uncertain and delirious ways of recognition and approaching the certain goals , consistent with their certain existence. So to speak, he, like the other malicious leaders in the history, used the masses as the driving force in the process of establishing and formation of power and hegemony. As a matter of course, it is obvious that no virtue and morality can be achieved by a human society that is suffering from the poverty and is deprived of having a relatively comfortable life. I mean, the basic needs simply are the initial factors which must be taken into an exhaustive consideration when it comes to the aim of making a human society promoted in moral and social values, as it is not so difficult to understand that the people who are frustrated with their labouring lives, never, ever can think of moralities or getting involved in a virtuous challenge.
Thus, Khomeini, as the most effective figure in the process of imparting the confusing conceptions of life via the sophisticatedly prepared philosophy by the RAFSANJANI and his cronies , was undoubtedly the man who in fact abused the God, goodness, virtue, humanity, and all the good adjectives; he did so to establish the reign of God! The unknown and strange God who is the God of poorness and humiliation! The God who believes in poverty and deprivation as the elevating factors in the human life!! The God who gives the absolute authority to his so called spiritual Representatives on earth to confine the people within their houses just to prevent them of being corrupted!! Yes, in other word, Khomeini was the inventor of a very awkward, rough, relentless, and graceless God who is rather a traitor Shepherd than a merciful and great God! To my knowledge, God is just knowledge, wisdom, love, and affection; adding to this ( that no reign of wisdom and love can yield to nothing but tolerance, awareness, realization, mercifulness, rationality, and a gradual progress in minds and souls), I have no reason not to say that Ayatollah Khomeini was in fact a master of Sophism who did not have any real knowledge on the thought of divinity and religion. So, eventually, as the so called leader of Islamic revolution, he assigned a fake God with a load of satanic disciples to reign over Iranian people before his death.
Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter, Khomeini’s inheritors have created an unbelievably intricate mental disorderliness for the Iranian people, in which no word of reasoning and pursuing can go together to cause a motive and expressing a notion. So to speak, Khomeini, his fake God, and his satanic disciples have been absolutely successful in applying their intimidating philosophy to the process of manipulating and opiating the people. Now, thirty years after that bitter winter, freedom is decapitated ; a great and meritorious nation has been disgraced and the human values has been skewed. Now, Thirty years after that bitter winter, I am Thirty Seven years old, laden with sorrow, pain, and regret; during all these years, I have been trying to understand why that coward SHAH(king) (who used to be my father’s hero), had not been able to swim on that dangerous river, or why that invincible leader (who according to my father was to be a man of God and justice,and of course my virtuous leader ) did such a nasty treason to a hopeful nation?
Under the reign of God
It is an other outrageous result of the reign of God and religion over Iran, this God-forgotten land which seems has been destined to live in the gloomy and despairing moments forever.
Ahmadinedjad was re-elected;
Mousavi was skewed;
And a nation were tantalized.
Freedom was decapitated, and
The God became happy.
God, religion and Mullahs, they are our enemies;
they are, indeed the enemy of our children, our brothers and sisters.
It is a long time that we have been living under the reign of a God, who has no merit, other than the merit of tormenting and tantalizing.
Ahmadinedjad was re-elected,
and a nation was left cold, alone and desperate with a lot of aborted imaginations in its mind.
Long live supreme leader! The elder son of God!
Long live Ahmadinedjad! The parasite!
Freedom and democracy were achieved! Were not they?!
I am hallucinating! A pig , no,no, no two pigs, no, no hundreds of pigs are chasing me!
I am escaping towards a dark sea; I am an scapegoat, wandered in the middle of a horrible desert.
God and his impudent Sons!
Ignoring the realities, and tending to change the face of things are the first trends within an Islamic philosophy that is chosen as a ruling system. Nothing should be efficiently clear under this arid and confining system which in fact does not have any tendency towards transparency and lucidity due to its hegemonic and dark nature. using the language of irony to sophisticate the principles which actually are meant to create obscurity and hesitation in the minds of people and eventually curbing them in a limited rate of growth and maturity, is the most unfair part of this obscure philosophy which has no respect for the individuality and freedom of humans. It is nearly Thirty years since Iran actually was captured by some opportunistic and astute Mullahs who were associated with God himself and all the angels of goodness and virtuousness to topple the reign of devil and establish the reign of God!! These malicious impostors who with no doubt are the disciples of Satan , came to Iran under the holy slogans of independence and freedom which in fact are the definers of the humankind as the most significant part of the creation. They were supposed to make a unique state in which every single moment could be lived in the most fruitful manner. They were supposed to promote a nation to the oracle of the human existence and philosophy of life on the earth!! Now after Thirty years of living under the so called reign of God, the only thing which we have really obtained is a perfect sense of frustration plus a disgraced and spoiled soul, diminished and skewed by some shams and their relentless God. Now we can just hope not to become mad in our hidden melancholic illusions. To what extend can a group of shams be so impudent and cheeky? Ironically , these disciples of Satan are still shamelessly talking about the freedom and democracy! Were not freedom and democracy decapitated during the first couples of years of your so called divine reign by the hands of your merciless God? So insincere in nature, so dishonest in behaviour, so mischievous and harmful, as innately piggish and greedy that you are, one probably may not believe that humankind can be so inhumane and devil in nature.
While Iran’s presidential election has been fixed to be held on June 2009, the noisy hypocrites, the Mullahs, has already begun to rant over the necessities of paying an exhaustive attention to the principles of democracy by holding a free and sound election in order to retain to the Imam Khomeini’s great goals!!! It is definitely hypocritical of them to rant over the already decomposed dead bodies of democracy and freedom , to show off how they are bound to the approved principles of democracy as the only way of approaching the instructive, constructive , and basic guidelines of making an ideal human society!! It is not a sort of behaviour and attitude which can be justified by human moralities, as even no group of infidels can be so apt in playing such a hypocritical roles which these Mullahs( the sons of God) are impudently playing in the name of God!
The so called Supreme leader , Ali Khamenei , the master of Masters at sophistic lectures, was the first person in the shameless recently launched ranting over the new era of freedom and democracy in Iran, due the forthcoming presidential elections. He said to Ahmadinedgad, using an absolutely sophistic language: “do not think that this year is your final year. Work as if you will stay in charge for Five years. In other word, imagine that in addition to this year, an other Four years will be under your management; and plan and act accordingly.” Ironically, this man is the most fervent figure when it comes to the democracy and freedom! In fact , he prior to the next presidential elections , confirmed Ahmadinedgad in his position for the next Four years of presidency over this God-forgotten country by this God-awful figure. It is evident that Ahmdinedgad was chosen as the president by the Khamenei and inner circles; so it should not be so surprising for the people to see him sitting on the chair of presidency for the next round and sneering their opinions and votes. Thereby, ranting and rambling over democracy and freedom – which in my opinion are the fruits of wisdom and virtuousness- by some shams and hypocrites who actually do not have any clue about the human wisdom and virtuousness, is some sort of skewing the face of humanity and human values.
I think it is the duty of the world’s conscientious intellectuals and leaders to find a way to stop the inhumane behaviours of some Satanic and malicious Mullahs – who are equipped with the most destructive Islamic rules and regulations- with Iranian people. As humans , all of us should be committed to the human values and dignities which surely are the generating sources of wisdom and knowledge as the guiding light to the certain and right path of the final aim of human existence on the earth. So, I think it is the duty of world to make efforts to change the awful situation in Iran which has been constituted by a relentless God and his impudent Sons. It is the duty of world to help an apt nation to get rid of the bias and confinement which really have been their terrific nightmares during Three past decades.
Heed! Hey capricious Mullahs! Lest you put us on the fire.
So arid and infertile, as boring and disappointing that I feel so unwilling to apply this word to my writings. “recession” is my least favourite word when it comes to writing as a beautiful way of making the words alive to yield to the meaning and sense; this word makes me feel embarrassed and somewhat sad. These days this arid word is going to play a significant and seminal role in defying the world in its battle against the economical depression! So due to my reluctant favour for this word, I am going to leave it to the great countries and great politicians who are supposed to deal with its boring and somehow dangerous meanings; but on the other hand I am obliged to come to terms with this unpleasant word, as my word in this issue is supposed to go to the mad and alien Mullahs in Iran who are so infatuated with the power and ruling that I am afraid of their overconfident attitudes as an imminent factor to create a real disaster in this critical time, in which the global economical depression has already started to stretch the nerves of the world’s prominent economical giants. Surely the veritableness of the recent global recession must be considered as a very serious issue by the power-manic Mullahs in Iran.
Dear Mullahs! for the sake of the same God who you have been destroying a nation for his sake during the past Three decades, come to the moments which are due to happen; the moments which can be the conducive of bloody and awful events for the worn out Iranian people and other people in the region. Lest you become so blind and not to see the illustrated issue of the economical recession which surely has already exposed the world’s economy, especially the Americans’ , to a certain vulnerable and falling situation. So, regarding to the fact that in this materialistic world , no intellectual and moral values can be efficient to justify the worldly failures in a reasonable manner which can be concluded to a peaceful point, applying any kind of stubbornness to the ways of approaching the resolutions on the crucial issue of the recent global economical crisis, surely can be ended to a great remorse.
Thereby, it must be clear for you astute and fraud Mullahs, that Americans as the first economical giant in the world and definitely the first great loser in the mayhem of economical depression, will put an emphatic finger on the Middle East as a rich source of wealth and energy to make up for their heavy losses. So, It should be so wise of you to understand the critical nature of the challenges in this particular issue. It is about the economy, and the economy means power, simple as that, so , Americans according to the history, do not like to hesitate in using the language of force and military actions, whenever it comes to the possibilities of a serious failure to their economy. Thereby I think you astute Mullahs had better not to let your opportunistic minds yield to temptation of playing silly and provocative games in this very serious mayhem.
As a human being, as a person familiar with the pain and sorrow, and of course as a typical Iranian who is innately in love with peace and creative communication, I think it is necessary to remind you aliens ( who undoubtedly have not been able to represent even a relatively acceptable credential for your odd presence in Iran), that it is time to take up with the world issues in an Iranian manner; it is time to take on a much more optimistic attitudes towards the worldwide issues; it is time to open the doors of that country to the world; it is time to apply the wisdom and sense to your relationships with the world , instead of sticking to the manipulating and arid religion-religious based thoughts which have already left numerous destructive affects on the regional and international issues. As a matter of course, there would not come out any winner in case of occurring an other war in the region; but surely there would be many real losers, people, innocent people. So, Dear mad MULLAHS, lest you put the innocent people on fire of bias and stupidity. May the real God who is the pure love and wisdom, helps you and your God to get into a real insight.
Who will drop the stone into the well?
With no doubt he is one of the most controversial leaders in this decisive time. He is enormously capable of leaving a very destructive affect on the current issues which are absolutely complicated and somewhat strange due to their different structures. Ahmadinedgad, this funny figure, plus a few other funny leaders, are potentially the greatest threat to the world’s security and peace. The Iranian president as an intrinsically dogmatic politician (who with those rigid and absurd gestures and those raw and incomprehensible words and phrases which he applies to his ridiculous lectures ), looks rather like an awkwardly designed Robot than a solemn president, can be the most negative player in the recent political games which our worn out region have been undergoing. to characterize this blabber man, I should refer to a very thoughtful Iranian saying which says : ” if an insane man dropped a big stone into a well, we would need One hundred wise men to pull it out” thereby I think he and some of his counterparts are very capable of dropping the stone into the well and put the region and consequently the whole world in a real disaster, while in this odd world we really are not able to realise the distorted meaning of sense , expediency, and wise men.
From my point of view the major threat to the security and stability of Middle East is an ambitious Islamic Ideology which is increasingly spreading all over the region. It is obvious that the designer of this dangerous ideology are the so called theologians of Iran’s ambitious Islamic regime which naturally are subjected to the policy of creating the critical moments and deteriorated situations in which their political intentions can be achieved; so, going through the critical and very explosive situation in the Middle East should necessarily be started from Iran and its malicious religious leaders who really do not care about anything but their greedy will for the power and ruling. Therein, Ahmadinedgad as a submissive figure who verges towards the main trendsetters within the Islamic regime, is undoubtedly a dangerous tool in the hands of enormously intelligent Mullahs who are privileged by possessing the provocative Islamic slogans which are effective to create irrational conceptions in the minds of people who have innately conceived a relatively inconsistent image of ISLAM as their idealogy.
Thereby, Ahmadinedgad as a president who is in fact the mere executive of what is dictated to him, as the so called president of the most significant country in the region, is definitely the main figure in the process of constituting a frenetic religion-religious belief and philosophy which impart the idea that the only practical way of achieving the certain goals is to retain to this so called divine philosophy. thereby charging the bias and irrationality in the region is the main aim of ruling group in Iran which in fact is meant to use all the region as a battle-field for their international challenges. Thus, in this deteriorated situation in the middle East which sadly we are witnessing how painfully causes numerous casualties and human disasters, a wise and exhaustive plan to restore peace and security in the region( which can cover all the relevant and correlative elements) is almost impossible without a positive and co-operative participation from Iran as the most significant country in the region.
Therefore, in comparison with the previous presidents of Iran, Ahmadinedgad can not be considered at any rate as an even relatively positive man, when it comes to the negotiation of peace and tackling the violence and crisis. He is obviously the most ardent fan of Islamic trends as the easiest way to influence over the current issues in the region. So to speak, he is an inflexible figure who does not believe in no peace and reconciliation which would be achieved out of Islamic attitudes; so, Ahmadinedgad as the most agreeable president for the astute policy makers within the inner circles of Iran’s anarchist regime, is definitely authorized to spend much more money and making cheap economical and commercial contracts with the other Muslim countries in the region and even all over the world, than his previous colleagues were authorized to do so.
Therefore, a stylistically crude man like Ahmadinedgad, plus an absolute authority to use the wealth of a modest nation to create the power and influence – which can expose the region and whole the world to an imminent danger, should be taken under a very deep and serious consideration by the world’s policy makers and all the people who have the desire of a peaceful and human world in their hearts. Ahmadinedgad as the president of a country ( which adverse to a worldwide believe, is a very rich country), is free to spend money in large amounts in order to obtain the political points; as a clear example, all the economical and comercial ties between Iran and Turky as one of the our significant neighbours, in fact does not have any profit for Iran and its people! As part of a long- term policy to penetrate into the Turkish Secularism, the wealth of Iranian nation has been spent to make Turks satisfied and obliged to Iran’s Mullahs, Islam, and God!! This crafty and very calculated plan has resulted to a surge of a general tendency within the Turkish governmental and even social structures towards the Islamic dogmas. It is not so difficult to understand that an Islamic and fanatic Turky can be a real place to create violence and crisis for the region and the rest of the world as well. Therein, Ahmadinedgad is supposed to be the man to complement the process of Islamization in Turky via his absolute authority to make Turks completely benefited in their commercial ties with Iran, and thus to set an even ground for the dogmatic impartation which has already begun to increase in Turky.
Regarding to the fact of Iran’s Mullahs succeeding plans in exporting the Islamic and revolutionary dogmas and principles to the other countries, ( which can not be denied by no realistic politician in the world), it would be very wise of world’s prominent countries and politicians to add the possibilities of Mullahs’ accessing to the ATOMIC BOMB, and try a new and more realistic procedure to approach the appropriate resolution for this threatening issue before it is too late. Therefore, an Islamic Iran, equipped with the mass destructive weapons , plus an absolute influential presence in the region and of course being ruled by abnormal people like Ahmadinedgad, can be like a time-bomb ready to go off in case of a possible miscalculation from the world’s powers.
What these days is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan in particular, and in the rest of Middle East is enough awful and sad to makes us more conscientious and aware of our real duties against our human world. It is obvious that any kind of wrong assessment and underestimating on the provocative role of Iran’s mad Mullahs in the region and its consequences for the world, would be resulted to a great disaster and absolute remorse.
So, I think the danger of MAD MULLAHS and Ahmadinedgad at the present is a very serious danger that the worldwide recent economic recession surely can charge it in different ways. Economical recessions and making the important decisions have an inevitable interaction in the Western countries; so, a relatively powerful Iran in the Middle East, which is ruled by some really mad Mullahs, plus the worldwide economical decline, are going to constitute an explosive situation in the region. As going further with this issue necessitates me to open the subject in a much more comprehensive expanse due to its lengthy structure, I am going to conclude with the hope of getting to a guiding insight for all of us and of course with a great hope for not being the witness of dropping a stone into a well neither by an abnormal president like Ahmadinedgad nor by any inconsiderate leader in West, as there would be little chance for us to find One hundred wise men in this odd world to pull the stone out of the well.
