Merci mon cher ami! I don't believe or follow Islam. But I dont' take myself as the fountain of truth. Others must have the freedom to follow their conscience. Without freedom there is no risk. Without risk there's no growth. Without growth we're reduced to an inanimate state. What I say...

My friend, nobody said the world is a utopia today. We're talking about trends, a comparison of where the world was 40 years ago and where it is today. East Germany, poland, Czech republic, Romania, Hungary, korea, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Philipines, Myanmar, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, South...

Reza shah's forced uncovering was temporary. He instituted it in 1936. And he was removed when the British invaded in 1941. His son, during all of his reign attempted to assuage the clergy. He went to Hajj. He prayed in mosques. Women wore their veil. Giving people freedom of choice is not...

Thank you for your concern! I'll tell you what the fireworshiper priest told me when I put the same question to him. He said let's do good in this world while we're in it. And we'll try to do the same when we get to the other world. And that way we should always be good and have no worries...

The Turkish republic was modeled after ethnocentric/fascist European societies for most its history, starting with the young Turks. And we all know about their handy work. What you see today is a very recent phenomenon. And it won't stay that way. Turkey is moving in the other direction now. The...

Maybe that's how things are in your alternate reality. But in the world I live in a great number of countries from Asia to Eastern Europe and central and south America have transitioned to some form of democracy and rule of law and many countries including China and India have become...

Yes I want to worship fire. You have a problem with that?

I disagree with you. The world has fundamentally moved in the direction of rule of law and freedom of choice in the recent past. A lot more countries are prosperous than 40 years ago. There more democracies than ever before in history. It is Iran that has moved in a different direction in the...

Your opinions are yours and I'm ok with that. your definitions of 'uber liberal' or having balance is of no relevance here. what's important is that opinions of the Iranian people about their own country, which is not being taken into account. And that is the problem.

As if you're not right now? Have you looked around the Muslim world? Muslim societies are some of the most backward, brutal and helpless societies out there. Muslims form the most refugees around the world... I can go on and on... but I think people get the point. The problem is very deep... It...

Mullahs have killed far more people and have done far more grievous damage to Iran than the vain-glorious shah ever did. Iran today is in a shambles in every aspect you can think of. The Islamists have destroyed Iran's environment. The bottom has fallen out of the economy. People are poorer...

I don't know about no feminism/masculinism. Men and women are both human. And humans are born free and are endowed with a brain by their creator to think for themselves and determine their own future. And anybody who attempts to subvert that natural order in the name of Communism, Christianity...

I don't look down on other people, unlike some of our judgmental religious friends here! So if Iraq can shine a way to a better future for us, I'm all for it. Unfortunately, they seem to be deeper in it than us for the moment.

Please do let us know what you're trying to say, once you figure it out. She is the future of Iran. Because she speaks the truth. And people instinctively recognize that, whether it agrees with their sensibilities or not. She scares the sh!t of Islamists. Because she calls them out for the...

Patriotism is a good thing! People should put the interests of their country before their religious beliefs. Religion is about your relationship with your creator. Not about forcing your beliefs on everybody else. If you force a religious ideology at a societal level, it becomes a totalitarian...

Classy and respectful! Just as you demand everybody else treat you, your country and your beliefs. I'm sorry that you had to demonstrate my point so quickly.

She is a future leader of Iran. Islamists can't kill, rape and steal forever. Vast majority of Iranians hate Islamists and their ilk. If they don't relinquish power to the people soon, they will be harshly put down by the people and will have no place in the future of the country. Muslim...

Congratulations to our rivals, Saudis, for their win! They are opportunistic and will surprise you on counter-attacks, if underestimated.

Well, there you have it guys... We drew with Portugal... But it wasn't enough. I'm very proud of our kids... They overcame so many obstacles... But you can only go so far on sheer will power... Other things need to be in place as well... Quieroz is really a world class and fantastic coach and...

Why don't you baseeji stick to beating defenseless women and children in the streets and running them over with your motorcycle? You're too far removed from reality to understand the courage and nerves of steel those boys showed by defending like that and almost flawlessly executing their plan...
