Religious conjurers!
It is absolutely wondering to reflect upon this crafty game of religion and tricky Mullahs with Iranians. It would be so fascinating and thoughtful when going through this sinister and plaintive game is supposed to be the beginning point of an scrutinizing research on the manipulating state of religion and religious conjurers in Iran.
In the past, lack of knowledge to analyse and working out the religious orders in a plausible manner, could be pointed out as the main reason of our susceptible and gullible situation against the religion and malicious religious conjurers; but it may seems a little strange that nowadays, in the century of maturity and science, in the century of computer and communication, in the century of rational attitudes and cogency, we are still yoked by the religion and religious leaders, we are still easy -to use tools in the serpentine hands of these plump Mullahs. So, this ridiculous story , surely would become much more interesting and of course amazing in the further attention to its lengthy, sad, and intricate structure.
It is said that once upon a time, a Mullah, with a big caulderon-like head, wrapped in a black turban, and with a very thick and black beard on his fat and wide face, and a pair of cunning eyes, and a big and sniffing nose, and with a huge body wrapped in a loose and black cloak, rather a shepherd, was giving a lecture to some people sitting in front of him with their shaggy heads, nodding in an ardent way as if they were in the middle of catching a spiritual secret up, and often bleating some ambiguous words, rather a cattle of Goats. The subject matter was about the importance of living through the religious orders and keeping them away from any kind of indulgence and laxation as religious orders are considered as the so called paths of getting the prosperity and salvation!
as the Mullah had become motivated and really cheered up by the shaggy heads which were still lowering and raising, one of his audiences snapped a question in a very passionate tone as if he was going to reveal a divine secret: ” what should we do with a very fine and expensive Carpet which is polluted by urine?” the Mullah delighting the question,- as it was actually of a nature which characteristically was one of those most favourite questions for any Mullah-, smoothing his thick and black beard, perhaps to make the proper imagination of the smeared surface of a Carpet by a bloody child, – although it could not be the consistent way of doing so due to the tough fabric of his beard in comparison with the silky and pleasant surface of an even smeared Carpet-, looked at the man and said to him: “do you know what a great question is this?” Well, as we know Urine is not something which can be washed out from a Carpet when it comes to religion! So, as I am sure that you are a real and faithful Muslim, I am going to let you know that a polluted Carpet by urine must not be remained in the house of real Muslim! So, you must in fact through it out as soon as you go back home; but do not be worried, there is also another way which in fact our merciful religion allows us to choose it as an alternative in such cases.
Meanwhile, the others, the shaggy-heads,still nodding ardently, had became all ears to catch up the new secret of what to do with a polluted Carpet by Urine! The Mullah , clearing his throat, feeling completely galvanized with the ardent listeners, uttered in a very proud tone: ” well my dears, according to our religion you have to cut out the polluted part of your Carpet and throw it out! Yes, it is the only way to make sure that your prayers are accepted by God! So, my dear do not hesitate and cut it out; as any kind of hesitation or laxation in terms of religion would be resulted to a great failure in your faith; therefore I strongly warn you to do what is said in our religion, so that you would be rewarded the paradise which is really a nice place and special for scrupulous people like you!” shaggy-heads were still nodding, perhaps were thinking about the possibilities of getting lost in the way to paradise in case of making any doubt about the manipulating Mullah’s sermon!
A few days later the same story happened to Mullah’s Carpet; Mullah’s stout son had actually drenched the silky and expensive Carpet which Mullah used to say his prayers on it; but this time there were no religious orders to throw the Carpet out, or to cut its polluted part by urine out. Thus, in answering to his wife who had reminded him of his prescription for the same problem in the mosque and asking people to cut the polluted part of their Carpets out, said to her: ” hey unwise woman, what I say to the people in mosques, comes only into play for them and it does not have anything to do with my own household; so, do not be so silly; go and rinse the Carpet! It will do! Go and RINSE IT!
Therefore, in the past, lack of sufficient knowledge as a result of low education, plus a general poorness in all fields of our lives, had made us so gullible and vulnerable that Mullahs could take the piss out of us and make us to play silly games instead of taking a rational attitudes towards our objective and certain goals. Ironically, nowadays that we are completely different with what we used to be in the past, Mullahs are taking the piss out of us so easily! So what is that? Why are they so successful in making us to play silly games? There is a dramatic secret in this issue which really can be pointed out as a great proof to the Mullahs’ exquisite intelligence! So, what is that secret? It is as simple and plaintive as thoughtful and funny: In the past, we were tricked by the Mullahs because of our ignorance and our gullible situation; in the past we used to have been afraid of God; the ambiguous fear which in fact had been imparted by Mullahs to cause uncertainty and irrationality in our minds in order to create some silly billies as the tame and submissive players for their malicious games; but nowadays, ironically, we are all part of the game; nowadays we are knowingly are tricked! We are in fact completely aware of our roles and their destructive affects on our future! Nowadays we are obliged to play silly games which we know how ridiculous they are! It is so amazing as sophisticated that one might not be able to understand the differences between the stupidity and saneness!
Giving incredible chances of accessing to the great opportunities to the people who are ready to take part in the silly games of religion and to play a role in the process of applying the religion to the unfair and sinister ways of exercising the power over the people, is the very effective policy which is sophisticatedly adopted by these intelligent Mullahs to make a hefty body for their ruling machine, and also to make a legitimate face for themselves and what they do in the name of God and religion. Thus, nowadays, a remarkable number of our population are knowingly all part of the games which in fact make them benefited in different ways and on the other hand make them to work for the Mullahs and to impart the religious tricks as social values in order to oblige the people to obey the religious orders. Nowadays, religious conjurers are performing an exquisite show of religious hegemony via a sinister polarization which in fact is the biggest obstacle on the way of getting to a uniting thought and common interest; nowadays some of us are funny dolls in the hands of religion and Mullahs; some of us are playing the roles of scapegoats to help the Mullahs to rein us into their pleasant ways! Nowadays we are involved in the process of distorting our genuine values by performing a delirious dance in the presence of God and his sorcerous Representatives in this country.
The puzzle of democracy and religion in Iran.
To puzzle out this boring and complicated game would be very difficult if we put the beginning point at a wrong place. There has been a lot of various lore, applied to a great challenge to work out how to approach the guiding outlines on this issue; great scholars, great figures, have gone through this important issue; they have looked at it from different angles, and have created useful opinions which can be enlightening for the further research on this issue; but honestly they are not solely able to Set a foundation on an even ground, which can lead us to an illustrative attitude towards this difficult puzzle.
Any kind of research on any kind of issues, related to Iran, must be necessarily begun from the Iranian people; the fact which amazingly has been very difficult to understand, due to the very intricate social structure of Iranian society. It is very interesting to know that even some of the significant Iranian experts and scholars, equipped with all kind of social sciences, give a very ambiguous account of the social structure of their own society. Therefore, getting to the adequate and guiding outlines on the Iranian social fabric, which is astonishingly complicated to understand, is the most seminal point in the process of researching and writing about Iran in order to find a practical way of getting the appropriate solutions.
A world of contradictions, a very complicated one; this is the phrase which I think there are enclosed a lot of amazing secrets in it; this is the phrase which I have chosen to initiate my explanations about the social structure, and real observation, attitudes, trends, actions and reactions of Iranians towards their lives. We have been living a contradictory life for a long time; so, we are very skillful in playing hide and seek with each other! Yes, we are people of playing funy games! We take the salt instead of sugar without feeling salty!! And vice versa. We can see a dark night as a sunny day without seeing the darkness!! We are brilliant in marking the bad and useless things as good and useful ones! We are brilliant in supporting our fraud and untruthful leaders and destroying our capable and benevolent ones! We are the masters of changing our right decisions with the wrong ones at the last moments! Do not get me wrong; I do not mean to say that we are some crackers or some blunt people; on the contrary , we are one of the most intelligent people in the world; we are one of the most civilised and tolerant people in the world. So what are the reasons for being so contradictive in mind and soul? what is that fatal virus which has been so destructively spoiling our minds ? What is that distorting factor which has turned us into a such unrecognizable shape and existence?! Why we are not able to act in accordance with our incredible capacities? are we really affected with a dangerous mental problem?
integration, unity, merit, and common sense, are the basic elements which can lead a nation to the right path of progress and formation. On the other hand, dispersion, insufficiency, indecisiveness and lack of recognition , are the main preventive factors in the way of progress. As a matter of course, knowledge is the luminous light in the way of getting to a better situation of recognition and planning; lack of relevant and sufficient knowledge in this way, will lead the nations to a descending way of regression and inconsistency in mind and soul. Regression is the most sinister and destroying situation which can diminish the nations into a painful and ridiculous state of being.
So, I have no reason not to believe that we are a poisoned nation, walking deliriously in the darkness of regression and fall; we have been poisoned with the most poisonous and malicious drug . The masters of social sciences, equipped with all kind of relevant knowldge to control and rule over people, have drugged us in an insinuative manner. ISLAM, is the religion which has been used as an intoxicative factor to make this great nation irrational and ready to accept the yoke of tyranny and submissively support the oppressive rulers to destroy the capable and benevolent people who are making a great effort to help the people to become aware of their decisive time and situation. We have been drugged by the religion which has been supposed to be the glowing light to stimulate our souls and minds; we have been drugged and humiliated; we have been drugged and intimidated; it is obvious that an intoxicated, humiliated, intimidated and distorted nation, never, ever can get to an exhaustive observation which must be the foundation of any kind of administrative system of justice and equality. It is obvious that such a nation that are intensively in need of an urgent and comprehensive psychological help to get rid from a very harmful and addictive hallucination, can not be so clear in mind to have the right interpretation of democracy as a very perfect and sensitive system which can be achieved in just a situation which all the facts and features are united as a functional body, capable and viable to move vigorously towards the targets.
According to the history of this country, any time that a movement has been established in order to guide this nation to the right attitudes and precise recognition and appropriate choices, religion has been used in the most unfair way to opiate the masses and to divert the directions of the movement to the wrong ways; especially during the Three hundreds recent years of our painful history, ISLAM has been in fact the greatest enemy of freedom and democracy in this country. In the other word, it goes without saying that as long as this manipulative religion is the watershed o of tyranny and oppression in this country, talking about the democracy and freedom is almost impossible. Unfortunately the hegemonic Islamic regime has been applying this religion to the process of formulating the Islamic orders as Iranian social rules and values; this, although not deep and long-lasting, has effectively been a way to have the masses submitted to the current conditions and in fact become a neutral part of a society which is urgently in need of unity and integration over the principles and thoughts.
The other part of the cunning plan of regime’s aims to disperse and dividing the people, is attributed to the hefty body of the ruling system, which is constituted of people around the regime as members of this frightening ruling machine; these people are in fact, a remarkable portion of our population, they get benefited in different ways, they get the full advantages of being at the service of such a wealthy regime. So to speak they are bought by the regime; they are not ready to jeopardize their very luxury lives, even to bother thinking about what is going on in their country. They are an other portion of our population who in fact have been separated from the body of our society in this way. These people are privileged with various incredible opportunities which regime allows them to take, regardless of their equality with rest of their people; they show a religious and virtuous appearance and use it as a nasty psychological way of impressing people and make them to feel ashamed for not being as so called religious, virtuous, and ethical people as they are; they do so just to impart the idea that, in fact, it has only been their religion-religious beliefs which has made them so virtuous and subsequently so eligible for rank and comfort!! Is it not discrimination and even an unfair classification of people? So, what is the role of real virtue and ethics in our lives in this God-forgotten country, the country which is ruled over by a so called divine religion and divine rulers? where is the place of real and genuine human values in this country? What has made us to become so pretenders people and performing such a ridiculous and faded performance of our personalities? There are thousands of questions which no one can answer them in an even a low degree of conviction. There are thousands of questions related to this issue which regretfully are the boring signs of a very sophisticated and deliberately created social crisis in Iran.
Thus, there is no doubt that, only a religion like ISLAM is so capable of creating such a complicated and bizarre situation, in which people are so puzzled who they really are not able to realize which is which. This religion, beyond doubts, has been successful in pushing Iranians to the brink of a very dangerous psychiatric crisis. So to speak, this religion has been succeeded in taming and neutralizing a nation in the most sinister and opiating way.
So, dear representatives of God on the earth, who seems not to have been created for any other reason ,but for the divine commission of saving Iranians and returning them back to the Eden!! It is time to think about the future of this great but unfortunate nation; it is time to think about the future of IRAN, if you really are Iranian!! It is time to let the people to take a deep breath; it is time to take the sword of religion off our necks and allow us to feel peace and comfort. It is time to allow this people to look for the real and kind God who is the absolute love and affection; dear religious rulers it is time to let this nation to feel the beauty and inspiration which has been suppressed in their souls; it is time to release them from a prison which within its high and thick wall, no prisoner can even make an imaginary picture of freedom.
Dear religious rulers, there is no doubt that you have applied an awful dose of the strong and killing drug of religion to opiate this nation; it has unfortunately left basic affects on their mentality; in the other word, you have practically spoiled the necessary and basic thoughts of democracy in the mind of this nation. I mean the state of people’s mind is the vital element in the process of establishing a democratic system of administration; i mean democracy has already been delayed for at least Thirty years by you dear religious rulers!! So, it is time to to stop betraying this genuine and modest people who are sufficiently capable of getting to ideas which can help them to make up for the wasted time and finding the right way of approaching the thoughts and grounds of a democratic government , and making the preparation to welcome the God of tolerance, goodness, peace, , beauty, love, justice, and freedom. Dear religious rulers we have everything in this very very rich country; the only things which we are desperately in need of them, are, equality and justice. Do not continue to destroy us with ISLAM, and let the freedom and justice lead us to the presence of the God of knowledge and wisdom.
Religious deomcracy!!
“Religious democracy” Is it a joke ? I think so; it is a boring joke, a joke not even to make some fun and make people amused. It is an other phrase to create an other humiliating procedure to continue to rule over this modest people. In an even imaginary situation there would not be any space to set the democracy beside the religion. There is not any possibility of a logical coexistence between democracy and religion, especially when we are talking about a religion like ISLAM. The great contradiction between Islam and democracy is not at a degree which can be taken under any consideration of putting them side by side, in order to make a mutual and creative relationship between them.
It is awfully regretful to see that one of the most informed and great people in this country is the architect of this odd structure. It is really regretful to see one of the most respected politicians by people in this country, now has joined the group of rulers to show an ugly smirk to the people who chose him as their hero. It is absolutely unbelievable for this people to see how their great hero is going to play games with them.
Dear president KHATAMI, there is no doubt that you are a very informed and mature person; there is no doubt that you are a man of wisdom and knowledge; you are a very open minded man and fully aware of necessities of our time. Twenty millions of young and ardent people voted for you. they actually saw you in the mirror of their imaginations as a great and invincible hero to save them; they imagined you as a handsome rider of freedom, emerging from horizon of hope and salvation to lead them as a herald.
Dear Mr Khatami you aroused a great passion in the people’s hearts towards freedom; you gave them a massive hope and inspiration; you made them fascinated by your splendid depiction of the rising sun of freedom and liberty and living a suitable life under the rule of justice and dignity. Dear president your bewitching words, uttered in an epic and arousing way of speech ,made us to make a glorious picture of a free and greater Iran, with doors open to the heart of world. Your fabulous lectures, your sensational words gave us an incredible sense of greatness , glory, and merit; dear President, you deliberately linked us to the past, to the presence of our bewitching civilization; you galvanized the spirit of thought and knowledge in our withered soul.
Dear Mr Khatami, as you know much better than any one else on the earth, we are not a daydreamer nation; we are not a fanciful nation; we are not cowards hidden in our shadows; we are an absolutely down – to – earth nation; – although an unfair and exhausting pressure imposed on us by the so called affectionate Islamic rulers, has made us to seem inconfident and shaking. So, I think what you did to this people before being elected as their president and during the first months of your presidency, can be considered as an awakening and enlightening shock, which was enough strong to remind this people that what they are, and what are their rights, and how they have to appeal for their rights.
Dear president, you used word, “civilization” in a very passionate and confident utterance. You invited the world to converse; you set the the civilization as a basement to converge the people at a point of a mutual understanding and respect. you got the inspiration from your precious and time-honoured civilization; you mentioned every single word with an incredible confident and passion; you set off a resurrection of words in an intellectual feast of wisdom and knowledge. So you were sure about your legacy, about your Iranian civilization and its compatible situation in case of any scrutinising conversation.
Now, you have let down yourself and your ardent nation; now you have easily forgotten those arousing, renovating, and inspiring words which you mentioned and set the fire of freedom, wisdom, and justice in the hearts of this people. Now you have turned your back to your values and your people.
Democracy and religion is a new story which I never can believe that it is a product of your great and mature mind. “religious democracy ” this a vey absurd and sinister phrase to divert the great and passionate will for freedom, – which was constituted by your epic lectures in the soul of this people, to a controllable channel of religion.
Dear Mr Khatami, I am under no illusion that you yourself know how ridiculous and inconvincible is this odd and invented new system of ruling. as far as I can remember, you used to use the words, ” dignity” and ” honour” along with word, “democracy” So it is obvious that democracy is a system based on an even ground of an integrated plan, regarding the human values, to achieve the equality and justice. people’s dignity and honour will completely be obtained when equality and justice as the main targets of democracy are achieved.
of course, the freedom is considered as the vigorous soul in the body of democracy. As to religion, I am sure that you yourself know that there is nothing in it that can be considered as part of a plan which is meant to achieve the equality and justice. Religion as a ruling system is just enough good to lead the people to a descending way of regression and abnormal behaviours. During this remarkable time that we have been living under an absolute religious ruling system; we have not been even free to choose what to eat or what to drink or what to wear !! Or how to walk! And how to talk! We have been flogged for drinking alcohol! We have been slapped in the street for wearing T-shirts!!! we have been disrespected in the most inhuman ways for nonsense reasons. I mean we have been deprived from our initial liberties!!
On the other hand, democracy is begun with the individual liberties. In this system people are free to express themselves. They are respected, and invited to participate in the process of applying the opinions to the plans which are meant to achieve the equality and justice. under this system people learn how to manage their own affairs; in this system people learn how to respect each other. In fact this is the most blessing result of democracy.
So, dear president, how are you going to mix the democracy with a religion like ISLAM which during the last Two decades has been the number one enemy of freedom in this country? what is really the meaning of ” religious democracy”? Is it not a plot to decapitate the democracy? Is it not a poisoned hotchpotch to destroy the hunger and appetite of Iranians for the freedom?
therefore, Dear intellectual president, I am so sorry for being obliged to call you a traitor! It is a great pity to see a man like you, betraying his incredible values and also betraying his hopeful nation. You are a disloyal man to your existence and your commitments and to the history as well. I hope you will be enough conscientious to resign and not to go on with this ridiculous role.
This is an extract of an article which I wrote at the time of Khatami’s presidency; the president who was going to do a great reformation in Iran; but unfortunately he was not enough brave to do his job in accordance with what he had in his great mind. In fact it was an incredible opportunity which we lost it very easily.
Let us be muslim at home.
What make the nations great and significant is their philosophy and their culture; the more richer in philosophy and culture, the more successful and naturally the more capable to create viable and reliable procedures in which knowledge and wisdom would be generated spontaneously within the orderly depicted principles.
If we go through the amazing history of this nation, we would simply realise that a very pure and sifted belief , running in its blood, has been the most vigorous driving factor in the life of this nation. due to this fact that no nation can be survived for a long time without being engulfed and engrossed by a very polished and stimulating faith and commitment, derived from an exhaustive philosophy and observation, the survival of Iranian nation through its long and fascinating history is a great matter to reflect upon it in a scrutinising way.
therein, any kind of flashback to the far or near past of this nation, must necessarily be based on the present life of this nation, in order to get ideas which innately can guide us to an illustrative point of view, in the way of approaching the self-sufficient facts.
a comprehensive and logical way of encountering the major problems and hardships, regardless to the ruling system, has been the decisive attitude of Iranian nation during the recent past decades of confliction and eight years of an imposed war and destruction. It would be absolutely fascinating to look for the main stimulating factor which has been the dazzling, and guiding light in the long way of such a nation through the history; What is the factor which has been so genuine, pure, and capable of saving a nation form the dangers which each one of those could destroy them for good?
According to the history, we had been invaded during our epic history more than any other nation in the world; a large variety of invaders, various rulers and ruling systems, had been ruling our this nation, and all of them had been intended to impose their culture on this nation and make them to follow their beliefs; but ironically, we are still Iranian; pure, genuine, sincere, and peaceful; we are still talking the sweet, rich, flexible, and peaceful language of Farsi; the language of wisdom, love, communication, and reconciliation. Above all, ironically, we had been able to aptly capture our invaders with our rich and penetrating culture; we had been able to make our invaders so fascinated and engrossed by our culture even when their swords were on our necks. We made our Mongolians invaders and rulers to talk Farsi, we made them to behave in an absolutely Persian manner; and ironically we made our Turkish invaders and rulers to make a great effort to keep the language of Farsi alive! In fact we made them tame with our rich culture. They were ingrained by our vigorous culture and beliefs. What is this culture and faith which has been so generating as capable to save us from awful incidents through our long history? Is it an Islamic culture?!! Not , absolutely NOT. It is not an Islamic culture and faith. Even the noisiest Islamist authorities in this country know that this is not an Islamic culture and faith!! It is obvious, that a culture is represented by its own language; Islam has had more than One Thousand and Four Hundred years of time in Iran to teach us its language;but ironically, we are still not able to talk Arabic, I mean the language of Islam, and above all, our clever children are not able to learn it easily! According to their opinion,-even the children of those noisiest Islamist authorities in this country- the Arabic text book is the most boring subject for them!! So if we are Muslim, and the culture and the faith which has been our guiding light and able to save us for so long, is an Islamic culture and faith; why are not we able to talk with the language of our so called great saviour?!!
So, I have no reason not to believe that only a pure faith has led this great nation to the present time; and I have no reason not to believe that the teachings of ZOROASTER , the man who I would rather not to call him a prophet ,has been the most inspiring and elevating factor in the life of all the generations who began to live in this country. ZOROASTER was the founder of a great and seminal thought and philosophy, obtained via an elevated and searching soul within a surge of knowledge and observation; so in my point of view ZOROASTRIANISM is an original and exquisite product of an absolutely mature human mind which has been so deeply ingrained by the soul of a nation. ZOROASTRIANISM is , in fact a beautiful way of approaching the thought of God. According to ZOROASTER,s teachings the only way to know the God , is to become similar to God; he puts a massive emphasis on the word, “SUPERHUMAN” and then shows the beautiful ways of how to become a SUPERHUMAN: ” good thought, good word, and good behaviour ” these are the principles of ZOROASTRIANISM to show the way of promotion in soul and mind ,that consequently will lead the human to the point of a pure and dazzling wisdom, which is a point very close to the God who according to the ZOROASTER is an unlimited and everlasting wisdom. The other great point in the unbelievably perfect philosophy of great ZOROASTER is the significant role of ORDER in human life; in his opinion no great goal can be achieved without ORDER. I think there is no need to go further with the explanations on this splendid philosophy which is still running in our blood; but I think it is necessary to mention that , it had been the philosophy which led the ancient iranians to create a magnificent and everlasting civilization which left a viable impact on the human civilization. We can easily feel the ZOROASTER,s philosophy within the Romans and Greek philosophy, specially within the trends and attitudes of great SOCRATES who puts a very emphatic finger on the ” virtue” which in fact is the basic element in ZOROASTER,s philosophy.
As a matter of course, no fanatic philosophy and culture can yield to nothing, but disaster and defeat for the nations; unfortunately religions has been the most dangerous tool in the hands of rulers to expose the nations to the danger of fall and destruction. As the history has been carefully witnessed, Islam, as a very tough religion in its orders and its numerous have tos and don not have tos, has been the great obstacle in the way of progress and blooming in Iran since it was imposed on Iranians by the force of sword and bloodshed. There has been periods in the history of this nation which could have been used as an opportunity to get rid from the religion which has been rather a fatal philosophy to destroy them than a divine and ritual programme to show them the path of ethical behaviour and salvation; but unfortunately we are still stuck in the hands of Islam , the Islam which is used as a tool to control the masses and make them neutral and humiliated in the name of God and using them as tools as well.
A very simple sociological study on the general situation of Iranians’ attitudes,trends, and observations, would prove that there is no sign of a real ISLAMIC smack within their ways of approaching the goals and decisions in their lives. In a simple comparison between Iranians as a so called Muslim nation with other Muslim nations, we would get to the obvious facts of radical differences, which can easily reveal the thouhgtful realities about Iranians. As we all are witnessing how Muslim people are killing each other just because of their tough and ambiguous religious beliefs; they tear each other into pieces by bomb, they burn each other into ashes, they cut each other’s throats, they do all these awful things to each other just because of their blind faith to a religion which is very difficult to understand; they are not able to bear any critical opinion on their religion, because they are not able to realise that God is not hidden within any religious ORDER; that God means wisdom, light, beauty, and knowledge. On the other hand, the behaviour of Iranians in different periods of their so called ISLAMIC era ,since they were made to become Muslim ,has been just a fabulous indication of their time-honoured culture , not their ISLAMIC culture.Tolerant, logical, communicative, peaceful, open-minded, these are the adjectives attributed to the Iranians; these are pure IRANIAN adjectives not ISLAMIC adjectives.
SO, dear clergymen, there is no doubt that all of you with those thick, trimmed and beautiful beards are the masters of social sciences, and philosophy ; I mean you are fully equipped to understand whatever which is related to the human behaviour, needs, desires, actions, and reactions. Thus, I think it is time to review what you have done to Iranian people during the years after the revolution which actually you snapped it at the last moments and put the ISLAMIC brand on it and left the Iranian people in a great amazement and the real revolutionists in a boring hangover ! You have used the religion as a very powerful tool to rule over the people; you have used the divine name of God and goodness to humiliate the Iranian people; you, masters of psychology, have used the ISLAMIC methods to humiliate our children; you used the ISLAM to kill our self-confidence. Thus you have applied an excessive dose of ISLAM to make a nation poisoned in order to control them and to establish your reign . So, I think it is time to show a little respect for the people who has been patiently bearing all the hardships during your religious reign; the people who has been beaning also with you due to their wise and expedient attitudes towards their country; they have remained silent during all these boring years, because they are wise and moderate people, and fully aware of the unpredictable consequences of an other conflict and deteriorating movement in this sensitive time. they use their Iranian culture to make the important decisions not the Islamic culture which they actually do not have. Therefore, for the sake of God who you are very worried about his dignity, take the sword of his religion off our necks and let us take the God and his religion to our houses, to their holy places, to our hearts, our souls, and our minds. we are a mature nation; we are the inheritors of one of the most sifted human philosophies; dear affectionate clergymen ! Do not be worried about us, we would not be spoiled without having the God in the street! we would become great with having the God at our homes. PLEASE LET US BE MUSLIM AT HOME. PLEASE LET US BE MUSLIM AT HOME.
Iran, the land of civilization and friendship.
Iran, the land of civilization and friendship is my home; the home which was captured by a religion which has been used as a powerful tool in the hands of different rulers in different epochs; they have been using this killing tool to control the masses and ruling over them. Since Iran were captured by Islamic conquest,the history has been narrating so many various versions of what had happened to Iranians and their precious civilization; but I think the history has never been enough meticulous in its narration, to figure in all the consequences of the presence of Islam in Iran. The fact that Iranians have not been able to accept the Islam by their hearts during the centuries since Islam entered Iran by the force of sword and bloodshed, is the very sensitive fact that should be revealed and highlighted at an earlier stage, which definitely could play a decisive role to show us the right path in dealing with a religion which has been the main cause of all our painful defeats.
Therefore, I am intended to go through the real state of Islam in Iran, and the complicated reasons of its survival in Iran despite of not having a real place in Iranians hearts.I will do so in a series of articles which without no doubt will be different in manner of approaching the core aims of the subject.
