Organization: The Ohio State University

Salaam, could anyone on the net help me out in finding a book by
Khomenei (spelling?).  The book is called:

	Islamic Government
		by
	Ruhollah Khomenei (late).  It was published in 1979.

I need the English translation of it.
I really want a copy or two of this book.  IS there anyone on the net
who could email me the address of the bookstore which carries this book
or mail me a copy of the book if he has an extra one.
Wassalaam

First, I don't remember Khabiri ever being the captain of the national
soccer team. Maybe he wore the band in a couple of friendly matches
where some others were absent.

Second, I never heard anything about his political involvement and/or
his execution. Khabiri played soccer (member of HomA) for a few years
after the revolution. I suppose he then retired (he was around 30
then) or left the country or something.

In fact, I haven't heard much about him for some 10 years or so. Any
news on him will be much appreciated.

=========================From brain archives=========================
I remember in the hey days of "jAm e takht e jamshid", there was a
rivalry of second kind between pAs and homA (with the first kind being
betweek tAj and persepolis :-). Whenever the two teams played, Khabiri
of Homa (left fullback) was usually matched with Faraki of pAs (right
winger) who was 4-5 inches taller than Khabiri. Nevertheless, Khabiri
would always beat Faraki on long balls.

    And finally I say:

     My eyes are open my dear phd21. I have heard all this baseless
allegations lots of times. What me or any other netter have never seen
is your evidence. But we all have found that you have a norm for your
propaganda. Wherever there is a conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims,
then Iran is supplying the non-Muslim part (like Serbs, Armenians, Shi'as
in Pakistan-in case you don't accept Shi'a as an Islamic sect, etc.), with
oil and food and arms. And of course to say all of this, there is no need
to show a single piece of evidence. All it needs is that everybody must
open his or her eyes and completely accept your Majesty's allegations.

I saw three wrestling matches ( Greco Roman, Spelling? Koshtieh Farangee)
which the Iranian wrestlers won 2 of them. The other Iraninan wrestler
( Matt Ghafari ) is a U.S. citizen who lost to his opponent and got
eliminated. The other 2 end up advancing.  Here are the names:

Reza Simkhah  105 pounds, 52 KG
Abdollah Chamangoli 68 KG (I think)

Iran has a total of 40 athletes competing in Olympics.

Nadeem Malik: I agree with you. Zafar's statement reveals his narrow mindedness

Behnam, Shi'ah scholarS disagree with you on your understanding on 
this issue. Please allow me to offer one such an example. In the book 
of Najm-ul Saghib, Haji Mirza Husayn-i Noori the well-known Shi'ah 
scholar and commentator writes in reference to interpretation of this 
verse of the Qur'an:

"At the time of the revelation of this verse ("le-kolle ummaten ajal")
which suggests that for every nation a term has been established, they
asked the Messenger of God what is the term for the ummat of Islam, and
He replies: `If my people [i.e. Muslims] were truthful they remain for 
ONE DAY. If they  degrade, HALF A DAY will they last.'[Bihar'ul Anvar, 
Vol 13]" 		Najm-ul Saghib p. 87

I want you to refer to this book and examine the point for yourself
hopefully you will not accuse Baha'is of USING Baha'i SOURCES when
it comes to understanding Islam!

BS>Now, Kamran talks about ahadith.   First of all, one should be careful
BS>about the use of authentic, non-authentic, or shady ahadith.  Otherwise, one

Behnam, the point you are making is well taken my friend. Perhaps it
would be interesting to delve into some of Shi'ah sources WRITTEN PRIOR 
to the declaration of The Bab in order to determine HOW MANY of Shi'ah 
scholars WERE, like Baha'is, in the business of feeding people with non-
authentic and shady Ahadith. If I am not mistaking Haji Mirza Husayn-i 
Noori might be guilty of this charge as well. :-) What do you think?

BS>That was all Kamran had to say about the Holy Qur'an.  Really, nothing
BS>else.

There is much more to say about the Qur'an. Yet, one must speak when
there are those who are willing to listen.

God willing I will address every one of the points you have made in

Perhaps the time has come for the silent readers to speak their minds.
The people of Iran continue to be physically and psychologically raped by 
the ignorant, and the readership of s.c.i continue to be mentally raped by
the same means, yet, our indifference manifests itself in silence. Even
those who speak refuse to accept the responsibility and instead relegate 
the problem to another:

						Alireza

This is very sad. I can only hope that you soon wake up and face the reality.

The abuse Baha'is have been subjected to here may appear unimportant to you.
Nothing more than fighting over religion, as Alireza puts it, but in truth 
Mr. Mokhtarian's attitude speaks of the norm the people of Iran have been
subjected to. It is an ugly metaphor depicting the reality, yet, we remain 
trapped inside Dai-jan Napeleon mentality.

How long are we going to sit back and listen to gossip? How long are we
going to relegate the responsibility of our political failures to the
English and the French and the Russian and the American? How long are we
going to attempt to fill the void of our religious emptiness by abusing
the Baha'is?

It really doesn't matter to the Baha'is if every other article in this 
newsgroup was written or conveyed by Mr. Mokhtarian and his likes. For 
the past 148 years Baha'is have been surrounded by such accusations. 
Waiting few more years and enduring the last kicks of a dying religious 
order is not very hard to bear. I want you to realize that Baha'is are 
cognizant of the fact that refuting these accusations will neither stop 
the Mullahs from signing death sentences for the Baha'is nor will it 
change the mind of the poster. Therefore, if Baha'is are spending their 
time to reply to the trash which continues to be presented here the 
reason is that BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY might be known. So that the 
friends can make intelligent personal choice BY THEMSELVES and FOR 
THEMSELVES. After all true judgment requires one to examine ALL SIDES 
of a story. 

Wake up and show your feelings, emotions and true beliefs. As long as we
do not learn to speak our minds and make our own decisions, no matter 
what the reason, be it due to the fear of persecution, indifference or
shame [khejAlat], there will be those who WILL SPEAK and DECIDE for us.
This is the way for God to help us and for Iran to remain Payandeh.
