Chello Kebab is just Kebab with rice. I did post an image of it. Ramadan is the best month to appreciate these culinary delights. :) As they say in Urdu, "sabar ka phal meeta hota hai" (the fruit of patience is sweet). The food and drink of Pakistan represents a bridge between Iranian...

Qiam, "قيام يک", means insurrection, or uprising. It is liquid fueled and is operated from a mobile transporter. The Qiam, is unique in that it doesn't correspond to any non-Iranian design, similar to the Iranian solid-fueled Sejil which has a range of about...

A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals in the country whether they could damage a man's spinal cord as punishment after he was convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralyzing him, the brother of the victim said Thursday. Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralyzed and...

Pre-Islamic Iran was not a backward nation nor its people "in an age of ignorance" prior to the Islamic conquest. It was a established state with its own identity, distinct language and literary customs, cities, culture and rites, well-developed architectural principles, state laws and etc. The...

Darood, Baradar, man tehrani hastm. Man dar Paris zendegi mikonam. Az molaghat e sham khosh vaghtam. :)

That was exactly my point exactly, regardless whether it is practiced or not or how many go through with it, specific cases cannot be taken as a generalization of one's culture. All generalizations are inherently flawed anyways. I chose that specific example to further demonstrate my argument...

برادر ، که خوب است اما مرا به روز شد.

My mother and father were first cousins as well and it is a long established and reoccurring practice in my family, and in Iran, that first cousins are married. What my point was, was made clear in my above post-- that it is preferable if one tries to expand one's family and not necessarily...

Good article. Marriage between first cousins produces kids that are mentally retarded and prone to genetically related diseases. If too many marriages within first cousins takes place in a family, then recessive genes assert them selves and the children are mentally and physically feeble and...

I am at neither end of the spectrum. I trail between depending on individual issues, within which I vary again. For instance, take the case of the high amount of corruption (including governmental) within Iran, I'm heavily critical on it's handling and its extent. Some or most of the scoundrels...

Interesting to hear the above bolded lines in the article. We all know what India looks like and how the people live, I don't see how the articles differentiates Iranians as being unlike or vastly different. For example, an Indian once told me that in his state, a woman spent the whole day...

The concept of teen sex is very relative to the length of our education and life span, for instance in a time when there were no organized schools and 40 year life spans, teen sex was just sex . As for the study, to look at it another way, it says, if you are in a sexually active relationship...

Well in that case it doesn't correlate very well with the Iranian leadership as such for they haven't expressed any desire to release nuclear weapons on people with whom they hold disagreements. So far to my knowledge, only one country has unleashed nuclear weapons on a civilian population with...

Dorood bar shoma, hamisha khosh va tandorost bashid beradar e ham zabanam. I really wish to visit Afghanistan someday soon and the great cities of older times, Herat, Kabul and others. You of course would wish the same. I cannot help but feel love for and connection with your great, but...
