Don't give up so soon Alireza!
Your name is as much Iranian as a name could be.

First, it may be true that 14 centuries ago the name Ali and Reza may
have been Arabic but today they are distinguished as Iranian names.
Second, the combination, Alireza, is definitely and purely Iranian. 

If it was not for us these names together with Hossein, Hasan, Fatimeh
and others would be non-existant today.  Iran is THE land of Shia and
these names belong to Shi'ites.

And about Arabs and Islam.  Mohammad tried his best to get these people
out of their JAAHELIYYAT.  As soon as he died things went to the old ways.
I am refering to the way KHOLAFA were selected.  It was based on age and
fame rather than capabilities and integrity.  This was non-Arab Iranians
who discovered Ali and the family of Mohammad and gave them refuge.
For 14 centuries Iran has been the land of Islam and we do not need
Arab nationalists to define for us what is Arabic and what is not.

Subject: King Fahd protests 'no fly' policy against Iraq
Date: Mon., Aug. 31, 22.30 +2 GMT
Slug-word: King Fahd, Saudi Arabia, Iraq
Format: regular


(DWYA)-Riadh, Saudi Arabia-- In a news conference held at a tent in the 
outskirts of Riadh, the Custodian of the two holy shrines, King Fahd al-
Saud denied reports by the American ABC station that the U.S. and its allies
are using its bases in Dahran and Tabuk to monitor Baghdad's compliance with
the latest 'no-fly' restriction imposed on Saddam's regimes.  The news
conference was held following reports by international news agencies that 
Russia is sending two navy ships to help implement the U.N. resolution. "I
personally called Saddam this morning to wake him for Fajr prayer, and told
him that Saudi Arabia and the Arav States are '100 %' behind president Saddam
and brotherly Iraq," the King said."  

The King's shift seems to be at odds with reports by international 
wires that the Kingdom along with other Gulf States want a 'clean job' 
from Western powers. The King added that " we are not a US protectorate 
as might Arab masses think. We have about ten thousand we helped train 
in the Hindukush mountains during the Afghan Jihad and we are going to 
use them whenever needed. We learned the Egyptian experience with the U.K. 
and the Tunisian one with France at the end of the 19th century and we will 
not repeat the same mistakes," the King emphasized. 

Observers in the region recorded massive regroupings of troops on 
the Jordanian border, near the port city of Aqava.  They see it as a major 
intimidation of the only democracy in the middle east, so far unchallenged 
by Arav States.

I don't want to repeat Jaber's episode about vaseline but I thought
here is a statement I would like to dedicate to farhad shakeri and
akbar kawasaki... with apologies to all iranian friends.

I think that although Iranians (I mean the regular people) like Arabs people.
the problem is with two types of Iranians 

(1) Les integristes seculaires, i.e. thoses who ran out of Iran after the
revolution, who still think that Arabs destroyed their culture and history. 

(2) Les integristes religieux, i.e. those who still think about the
illigitimacy of the Hukm of Omar and Abou Bakr.


For the second ones I hope that Rafsanjani's policies will change their ideas.

For the first one I would like to say:

Farhad Shakeri, filio del putana, ve Akbar Kawasaki (erfani@tramp.colorado..)
veld el-kahba try to look like smart asses. Ils comprennent tous and know 
everything. They need a good lesson in how much the West loves them. Well, I
tell them go to hell, Ibad-e-Gharb.  I don't deny that the West is 
sophisticated and strong. There are descent people here with morals and good
manners.


If the East is still fighting about stupid things. I wonder what was the West
fighting about two years ago in the Gulf. Vietnam, L'Indo-Chine, L'Algerie, 
WWI, WWII, who started these wars and caused so much destruction.. The stupid 
east and the modern west. There are also barbarians in the West. Shorlty I will
send you an article about the West and how much its love for you is increasing
everyday.

Andrew was ten days ago but it seems that Baabak just heard the news.
That seems to be what surprised Mack.
Shouldn't Baabak be concerned about the natural disaster in Nicaragua
rather than Floridaa.  People in Floridaa are getting a lot of help.
Any donations collected should go to Nicaragua, Somalia or Bosnia
not floridaa.  Especially after what Bush promised Floridans.

Is baabak willing to initiate a humanitarian group to help the
depressed people in the world? 

I am sure Bosnians can use Baabak's experience in their struggle
against the communist Serbians.

Subject: U.N. demands Croatian, Serbian forces leave Bosnia-Hercegovina
Organization: The Ohio State University
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 1992 18:48:15 GMT


	UNITED NATIONS (UPI) -- Meeting on the eve of the London conference on
the former Yugoslavia, the U.N. General Assembly Tuesday demanded the
withdrawal of Croatian and Serbian forces from Bosnia-Hercegovina as
part of a peace settlement.
	The assembly said in a resolution it adopted with a 136-1 vote that
the Yugoslav People's Army and the Croatian army should withdraw or be
subject to the authority of the Bosnian government, or be disbanded and
their weapons placed under international monitoring.
	The Yugoslav delegation voted against the resolution after
criticizing its lack of objectivity. Six countries abstained, including
Russia, and 37 others were absent in the vote. There are currently 179
U..N. members.
	The adoption of the resolution, sponsored mostly by Islamic
countries, capped two days of debate during which more than 60 countries
condemned violence in Bosnia-Hercegovina, particularly the ethnic
cleansing operations by Serbian forces.
	Some delegates strongly cricitized the Security Council for its
inability to stop the four-month-old civil war in Bosnia-Hercegovina.
	The Yugoslav representative, Foreign Minister Vlatislav Jovanovich,
denied his government's role in the seizure of Bosnian territory or
ethnic displacement and called for negotiations to solve the conflict.
	The resolution demanded an end to the conflict and respect for the U.
N. Charter, particularly the principles of sovereignty and territorial
integrity of states.
	Despite the strong condemnation of violence, the resolution did not
seek to expel the Belgrade government from the United Nations. Belgrade,
which now represents only the Serbian and Montenegrin republics, claimed
the right to succeed the former six-republic Socialist Federal Republic
of Yugoslavia, one of the founders of the world organization.
	Diplomats said the sponsors of the resolution had tried to avoid a
controversial issue before the meeting in London on Wednesday of the
international conference on the former Yugoslavia under the auspices of
the European Community and the United Nations.
	The resolution gave support to Bosnia-Hercegovina's ``just struggle''
to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity and urged the
Security Council to take ``further appropriate measures'' under Chapter
7 of the U.N. Charter to put an end to the conflict. Chapter 7 allows
the use of force solve a conflict.
	The resolution condemned the massive violation of human rights and
the ``abhorrent practice of ethnic cleansing'' and asked that it be
brought to an end.

Doostan Salam,

   For those of you who would like to read books in Farsi, there is a great
Iranian book company in Maryland that has a wide selection to choose from and
is very competitive in pricing.

  The following is the description for a couple books they have recently
published (The review was not writen by me but someone who know these topics). 
I also was able to purchase the book "Sar-Zamin-e Ma Iran" from
them.  In any case their address and phone number is listed below.

Happy Reading,

Cyrus.

==============================================================================
Sociology in Iran: by Ali Akbar Mahdi and Abdolali Lahsaeizadeh , published by 
Jahan Book Co, of Maryland  , is a  comprehensive overview of sociology in 
Iran  from its beginnings to  the present.

The book is divided into seven chapters. The first three cover sociology in 
Iran as a  discipline as well as the research institutes, books and 
periodicals concerning with this subject. The following three chapters 
deal  with  trends in Sociology in Pre-revolution and post-revolution Iran.  
In the earlier part *Convential:, *Radical: and *Synthesized: perspectives 
are discussed, while during the revolution *the Indigenization of Sociology: 
becomes extremely significant. One of the most fascinating chapters of the 
book is chapter  six entitled *Islamic Sociology:. 
This is a  thoughtful  study of Western views as compared to  the main 
trends of Islamic Sociology. 

The last chapter of the book is devoted to the *Future of Sociology in Iran:, 
and it shows what might be the outcome of the interplay of national and 
international factors in the field  of sociology.

The book is well-written and well-researched  and no doubt it will be of 
interest for serious students of  Middle  Eastern Studies  as well as  
sociologists in general.

The  book is published in the *Middle Eastern Series* of Jahan Book, No. 27 and is $ 8.00 plus one dollar postage. The  address of the publisher is 

Jahan Book Co.
