The Last Will and Testament of a Suicide Bomber (Satire)
In the name of God the Merciful, the Compassionate
I, Hasan, the son of Akbar, resident of the village of Saraab, being of sound mind and resolute belief in Muhammad, praise be upon him (PBUH) and the 12 Imams, the Pure Ones, declare this here as my last and final will and testament.
Biden Confronts Putin (Sort of…)
Some call Joe Biden weak, particularly in terms of his foreign policy. He has been as vacillating and indecisive a person who always opts to run away from problems and questions rather than take a stand and solve them. Many believe Joe Biden’s cognitive decline damages America.
Iranians Are Not Muslim
Iranians are Muslim in name only. Most Iranians consider Islam, an invader. We have a saying in Persian that the way you take your first step points your path for the rest of your journey. To elucidate this, please allow me to elaborate and give a brief account of Islam.
ICYMI – Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamofascism
Time and again, we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name.
My Forty-Fifth Anniversary in America
December 2022 was my 45th anniversary since I made it to this blessed land, America. A land that I fell in love with. Like many of my fellow Iranian compatriots, I never imagined extending my stay in the US beyond four years at the university. Let me remind you that Iranians are not beggars. We don’t ask for charity.
Good Hate, Bad Love
“Love” is thought of as a virtue, while “hate” is considered a vice. But not all forms of love are good, and not all hates are bad. If you love to set buildings on fire, molest children, or steal, these are obviously bad loves. If you hate racism, sexism, or injustices of all sorts, then these are good hates.
The Very Principle of Freedom Is Alien to the Islamic Belief System.
Whereas the practice of slavery enslaves the body, the dogma of apostasy ensnares the mind. Whereas slavery is a shameful practice of the past, some shameless religionists still use the doctrine of apostasy to intimidate and severely punish people who elect to choose their own beliefs.
Iranians are proud of their historical friendship with the Jewish people.
Iranians are proud of their historical friendship with the Jewish people. The bond of friendship goes back to the landmark action of King Cyrus the Great of Persia. In 537 BCE, having conquered Babylon, the benevolent King Cyrus freed the Jews from captivity and empowered them to return to the Promised Land and build their … Read more
Does Islam Breed Violence?
There is a division of the house. On one side are the politically correct in government, the leftist mainstream media, and a raft of Islamist apologists. One and all are tripping over each other in reassuring us that the mass murderers such as Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and suicide bombers who detonate their explosive vests … Read more
How to Stop the Islamization of America?
The more I read about Islam, the more concerned I have become about its threat to democracies everywhere. I truly understand how it is that the people in Islamic nations cannot question Islam for fear of death, but I cannot for the life of me see how an educated person can fall victim to this falsehood.
Surrendering is Not an Option!
Making up lies, and creditable lies is difficult. Besides, no one is smart enough to remember all the lies they tell and then end up giving themselves away. But, when you speak the truth you don’t have to remember anything.
Are Freedom-seeking Iranians Ready To Dislodge the Tyrannical Mullahs?
Over the past forty-four years, many of us have seen various Iranian opposition groups and TV channels pop up, one after another, but none united or supported their competitors. Each group had its own agenda. A typical Iranian dilemma: “Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.”
Privacy vs. Security
Since well before we eagerly leaped into the world of high technology, we gave very little thought to the possibility that someday we would find ourselves at a perilous fork in the road as a society, culture, and country.
Government Agencies and Departments Find Nothing Wrong With Debauchery
Dave Powers, a long-time aide to the President, was a man without a meaningful job in the White House. He had the innocuous title of Special Assistant to the President and his duties were mundane but pivotal.
The Missing Moderate Muslims
I keep hoping that the purported peace-loving moderate Muslims are indeed the great majority who would prove me right by demonstrating their peacefulness and moderation in action. Thus far, only a faint murmur of equivocation is all that I hear from these people.
Islam: From the Delusional to the Dangerous
“We are our beliefs,” it is said. Beliefs steer people in life. Some beliefs are harmless, some are the motive force for good, and yet others are delusional, misguided, and even outright dangerous. Every version of the belief called “Islam” ranges from the delusional to the dangerous. Islam is a Grand Delusion, birthed by Muhammad’s … Read more
Happy Persian New Year
Once again Nowruz–the ancient Persian Festival of the New Year–is here. Nowruz is the celebration of renewal and regeneration of life. Nowruz is the bearer of glad tidings for a better year ahead for all of mankind.
A Challenge to All Muslims
Islam can justifiably be condemned as a barbaric ideology that has energized and continues to energize crimes against humanity. Islam belongs to a raft of doctrines such as Nazism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism of various stripes that promotes hate and violence against others. Despicable doctrines of hate and violence remain confined to their place under the … Read more
