I keep receiving tens of warm supporting letters showing their support for human rights of Iranian women. Once in a long time I also receive an opposing email.  The iranian.com article was brought to my attention few days via email by someone who referred to it as a “nice article” . The same person had 3 days ago sent an email defending Islamic Republic STONING TO DEATH of a married woman for alleged extra marital affair; who wrote: “dont sleep with other people when your married and you wont have to worry about being punisheid. is that too hard? control your fucking pussy ” .

iranian.com article is part of an orchestrated effort by the handful few and is nothing new to those of us involved. Articles presumes that the Nazanin Fatehi’s interview was done by phone where if the writer before trashing Nazanin Afshin Jam would have at least read it, it said was done by correspondent.

Writer also claims Nazanin (A GIRL WHO LIVES IN TEHRAN) only speaks Kurdish (no source provided). Persian is common language of Iranians and most , especially younger ones with smallest education speak it.

Somehow Nazanin Fatehi’s attorney understands her, The Judge does and the newspaper reporters from 3 courts understood her and reported her testimony and she also understood everyone at the court and responded!! Somehow the the boys (boyfriends) understood her before the rape attempt happend as well as in court. The court was in Tehran and in Persian and not Kurdish!

Somehow the RADIO interview that was done with Nazanin’s mother and is on many sites are spoken in Persian. If the mother spoke persian and understood persian, the daughter doesn’t?

Iranian.com publishing of such intentional defamation of character was a gross violation of responsible journalism.

BERLIN (AFP) - German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has proposed setting up uranium enrichment centres under UN control to end nuclear disputes like the one over Iran.

Steinmeier said such centres could be used by several nations and placed under control of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the daily Handelsblatt said in an advance extract of its Monday edition.

“Interested countries like Iran could in this way obtain nuclear fuel for civilian use under strict control,” Steinmeier told the newspaper.

“It could be financed by countries that claim the right to buy nuclear fuel,” he added.

“We need to have an international supply of nuclear fuel to stop countries feeling the need to build their own installations.”

On Wednesday when Washington Post reporter asked what President Bush’s message to Iranians was, he “quickly and without notes” answered: 

 ”We respect your history. We respect your culture. We admire the entrepreneurial skills of your people. I would say to the Iranian people that I recognize the importance of your sovereignty — that you’re a proud nation, and you want to have a positive future for your citizens,”

“In terms of the nuclear issue….,I understand that you believe it is in your interest — your sovereign interest, and your sovereign right — to have nuclear power. I understand that. But I would also say to the Iranian people, there are deep concerns about the intentions of some in your government who would use knowledge gained from a civilian nuclear power industry to develop a weapon that can then fulfill the stated objectives of some of the leadership [to attack Israel and threaten the United States]. And I would say to the Iranian people that I would want to work for a solution to meeting your rightful desires to have civilian nuclear power..” “we have no desire for conflict,” Bush added.

He expressed hope that Iran would help stabilize Iraq, but he said the best channel for this dialogue would be through Iraq’s new prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, who has been in Tehran this week. And he called for a new program of cultural and educational exchanges between the United States and Iran as a way of encouraging greater contact and trust. Bush said Maliki’s visit to Tehran was “aimed at convincing the Iranians that a stable Iraq is in their interest. They have said so many times, and I think Prime Minister Maliki is now attempting to find out what that means, and how the Iraqi government can work with the Iranians to create a sense of stability.”Bush proposed that the West supply enriched uranium to Iran and other countries, and collect the nuclear waste. He argued that this global program “would be a solution that would answer a deep desire from the Iranian people to have a nuclear power industry.”

Bush said he had read commentary criticizing Maliki’s trip. “I disagree. Prime Minister Maliki should go to Iran. It is in Iraq’s national interest that relations with Iran be such that there are secure borders and no cross-border issues, including the exportation of equipment that can harm Iraqi citizens as well as coalition troops, and the exportation of extremism that can prevent this young [Iraqi] democracy from flourishing.”

Our discussion followed the 12-day visit to the United States by former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami. I asked Bush why he had approved this visit by a high-level Iranian and what he thought it had accomplished.

“One of the dilemmas facing [American] policymakers is to understand the nature, the complex nature of the Iranian regime,” he said. “And I thought it would be beneficial for our country to receive the former leader, Khatami, to hear what he had to say. And as importantly for him, to hear what Americans had to say.” He wanted Khatami to understand that on the nuclear issue and Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel, “It’s not just George W. Bush speaking.”

The Khatami visit “said that the United States is willing to listen to voices,” Bush explained. “And I hope that sends a message to the Iranian people that we’re an open society, and that we respect the people of Iran.” …  “I would like to see more cultural exchanges,” he said. “I would like to see university exchanges. I would like to see more people-to-people exchanges.”

“I know that the more we can show the Iranian people the true intention of the American government,” Bush concluded, “the more likely it is that we will be able to reach a diplomatic solution to a difficult problem.”

I came away with a sense that Bush is serious about finding a peaceful solution to the nuclear crisis, and that he is looking hard for ways to make connections between America and Iran.

Former Iranian president in his NIGHTLINE INTERVIEW WITH ABC NEWS continues to openly lie and deceipt on air with comments such as Iran does not provide ammunition to Hezbollah in Lebanon and that ” we have never called US Great Satan” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look whose talking?! 

 REGENSBURG, Germany — Pope Benedict XVI weighed in Tuesday on the sensitive issue of rapport between Islam and the West: He said that violence, embodied in the Muslim idea of “jihad,” or holy war, is contrary to reason and God’s plan, while the West was so beholden to reason that Islam could not understand it.

 Nonetheless, in a complex treatise delivered at the university here where he once taught, he suggested reason as a common ground for a “genuine dialogue of cultures and religions so urgently needed today.”
      In all, the speech seemed to reflect the Vatican’s struggle over how to confront Islam and terrorism, as the 79-year-old pope pursues what is often considered a more provocative, hard-nosed and skeptical approach to Islam than his predecessor, John Paul II.
      As such, it distilled many of Benedict’s long-standing concerns, about the crisis of faith among Christians and about Islam and its relationship to violence.
      And he used language open to interpretations that could inflame Muslims, at a time of high tension among religions and three months before he makes a trip to Turkey.
      He began his speech, which ran over half an hour, by quoting a 14th-century Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologus, in a conversation with a “learned Persian” on Christianity and Islam —”and the truth of both.”
      “Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword by the faith he preached,” the pope quoted the emperor, in a speech to 1,500 students and faculty.

He went on to say that violent conversion to Islam was contrary to reason and thus “contrary to God’s nature.” But the section on Islam made up just three paragraphs of the speech, and he devoted the rest to a long examination of how Western science and philosophy had divorced themselves from faith — leading to the secularization of European society that is at the heart of Benedict’s worries.

Iranian regime is determined to obtain uranium enrichment technology and in that process it has been successful in maintaining international community occupied with NO-SUBSTANCE wasteful negotiations in order to buy as much time as possible. Even French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy warned that Iran was trying to divide the international community in order to pursue its uranium enrichment activities.

 
Islamic Regime has no respect for the international community or its treaties and commitments just as they do not extend legal rights to their own citizens. Until international community does not recognize that the problem is not really the content of talks but the nature of the regime that they are talking to, the issue of Iran’s nuclear technology will not be resolved.

International community has had one voice in other situations such as South Africa and apartheid and that is the kind of support that Iranian People need to hear. The true solution to the threat of the Iranian regime potential nuclear power is full support of Iranians in removal of this regime from the face of our earth!

                                                                   

 On September 18 Anousheh Ansaari, an Iranian American woman

entrepreneur will fly to space for 10 days.

Wishing her a safe and fulfilling journey.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Excerpt from President Bush’s speech on 9/11/2006:

 ”Our brave men and women in uniform have stepped forward to fight our enemies abroad so that we do not have to face them here at home, and we are grateful for the courageous individuals bringing terrorists to justice around the world.

We are also confronting the extremists in the great ideological struggle of the 21st century. September the 11th made clear that, in the long run, the only way to secure our Nation is to advance liberty and democracy as the great alternatives to repression and radicalism. By working together with our friends and allies, we are helping spread the blessings of freedom and laying the foundations of peace for generations to come.

The events of September 11, 2001, will always be a defining moment in our history. “

 

It is time to have a complete unbiased independent study and report to NATION on 9/11.
