I believe that Zionists Do Not Represent Jews
From the inception of the Zionist State and particularly in recent times, the impression has been created in the World that there is some connection between the State, which falsely calls itself Israel, and the Jewish people as a whole. Therefore, we who continue to uphold the never-changing tradition of the Jewish people find it proper to again clarify the following points:
A Jew is one who remains faithful to the laws of the Jewish religion, that is, the Holy Torah and its commandments.
The Jewish people became a people before they had their own land, and continued to exist as a people also after they went Into exile, because our very people hood is based exclusively on the Torah.
The Holy Land was given to the Jewish people on the condition that they observe the Torah and its commandments. When they failed to do this, their sovereignty over the land was taken from them, and they went into exile. From that time, we are prohibited by the Torah with a very grave prohibition to establish a Jewish independent sovereignty in the Holy Land or anywhere throughout the world. Rather, we are obligated to be loyal to the nations under whose protection we dwell.
This situation has existed for close to 2000 years when the Jewish people were dispersed throughout all corners of the world. During this time, the Jews always remained faithful to the country in which they lived.
The Jewish people are grateful to all those merciful nations which have allowed them to observe Torah and the commandments undisturbed.
From ancient times, the relations between the Jewish and Islamic peoples have always been those of peace and brotherhood, and friendship always reigned between them. The proof of this is the fact that for centuries, in all the Arab lands, hundreds of thousands of Jews lived in honor and amidst mutual esteem.
Jews throughout all generations yearned to grace the sacred soil of the Holy Land and to live there. However, their sole purpose was to fulfill the commandments dependent upon the land and to absorb Its holiness. Never, G-d forbid, did they have any nationalist or sovereign intent whatsoever which, as mentioned above, is forbidden to us. Indeed, also here in the Holy Land, our fathers lived in neighborly harmony with the Palestinian residents of the land, helping one another, to mutual benefit.
Until about two hundred years ago, the vast majority of Jews observed the Torah and the commandments in entirety. Jewry's leaders were Torah scholars, who directed the people according to the Torah. They were loyal citizens in the host nations where they dwelled and to the local laws. They prayed for the welfare of their respective governments. To our sorrow, at that time a small number of Jews slowly left their observance of Torah and commandments. Together with this, they began to deride the spiritual leadership of their people. This assimilation was the basis upon which, one hundred years ago, the ideology of Zionism was born. Its founders were assimilated Jews who had abandoned the Torah.
Immediately at the founding of the Zionist movement, masses of Jews under the leadership of their Rabbis, launched a heavy battle against Zionism. Their attack was directed not only at the non-religious Zionist idea, but rather, primarily at its opposition to the Torah-ordained path that Jewry must follow while in exile. As such, the Zionists incited the nations of the world, demanding political sovereignty over the Holy Land while remaining oblivious to the resentment this would arouse In the Palestinian Arabs, the land's veteran inhabitants. As stated, the leaders of Orthodox Jewry vehemently opposed the movement with all force.
The Zionists refused to heed the voice of the Rabbis and Torah authority. They persisted in their ways until they succeeded in influencing the British government to issue the Balfour Declaration concerning the "establishment of a national home for the Jews in the land of Israel." To our great sorrow, from that point on began the deterioration of the good relations between the Jews and the Arab inhabitants of the land. This occurred because the Arab people understood that the Zionists wished to seize ruler ship from them. In addition, the Arab people had suspicions as if the Jewish people wished to seize control of the Temple Mount and other similar sites. Matters worsened as a result.
The Jewish leadership of that time saw it as proper to clarify before the Arab leaders that the Torah-true Jews had no desire whatsoever for sovereignty, and that our desire was to continue to live in peace with the Arabs, as we had always done. The leader of the G-d-fearing Jewish community at that time, Rabbi Yoseph Chaim Zonnenfeld. of blessed memory, organized a delegation in July of 24' which visited King Hussein and his sons Faisal the King of Iraq and the Amir Abdullah In order to lucidly present to them the position of the G-d-fearing Jewish community. The Jewish delegation clarified unequivocally that Torah Jewry is totally opposed to the Zionist sovereignty over the Holy Land. It Is worth noting that the delegation was received with great honor. They were even assured that all Arab lands were completely open to Jews, however, on the condition that the Jews do not demand political rights. This condition also applied to the Holy Land. One of the members of the Jewish delegation, Professor Yisroel Yaakov De Haan, paid with his life for his participation.
Torah Jewry protests at every opportunity against the Zionist rule over the Holy Land, and the Zionist rebellion against the neighboring nations. Torah Jewry has condemned the Zionist oppression of the Palestinians, the land's veteran inhabitants who have been driven from their homes and properties. The Zionists' barbaric and violent deeds are absolutely antithetical to the essence of the Jewish people.
Torah Jewry has never ever recognized the Zionist state. Since the Zionists succeeding in establishing their state, Torah Jewry has continuously announced to the world that the Zionists do not represent the Jewish people, and that the name "Israel" that they use is a forgery. For as has been stated above, it is forbidden to us from the Torah to rebel against the nations, and all sovereignty by us is prohibited. Rather, we await the days when all the world will recognize the sovereignty of the Creator, and the words of the prophet Isaiah will yet be fulfilled: "And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. No nation will lift its sword against any other, nor will they learn warfare anymore."
Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews have refrained to this day from taking any funds from the Zionist regime, whether for their educational institutions, synagogues or other benefits. Obviously, they do not participate in the Zionist elections, whether for the "Knesset" or for the municipality. We do not serve in their army, and we even avoid speaking in the Hebrew language that the Zionists Invented. (incidentally, this is not the holy and true Hebrew language in which the Bible is written.) All this is done because Torah Jewry does not recognize the Zionist regime, which Is against the Torah and against humanity.
Lately, the question has once again arisen concerning the Temple Mount and sovereignty over it. Thus, we wish to state unequivocally: a) In our time, it is a severe Torah prohibition for any Jew to set foot on any part of the Temple Mount area. b) The Jewish people have no claim whatsoever to sovereignty over this holy site, which is under Islamic authority, nor over any other holy site. Rabbi Zonenfeld was once asked, "is it true, that the Rabbi prefers an non-Jewish government over all of the Holy Land"? Rabbi Zonenfeld replied, "if King Hussein would rule over Palestine, the holiness of the Holy Land would not be diminished to even to an Iota degree". We yearningly await G-d's great day, when He will return His Divine Presence to Zion, restoring the holy city to its former holiness and glory as in days of old, to be a light to the peoples and the nations.
The Zionists have no right of any sovereignty over even one inch of the Holy Land. They do not represent the Jewish people in any way whatsoever. They have no right to speak in the name of the Jewish people. Therefore, their words, declarations and actions are not in any way representative of the Jewish people. This is because the Zionists' seizing of power over the Holy Land is antithetical to Jewish law, and also because the Zionists do not behave like Jews at all rather, they desecrate the sanctity of the land.
We once again clarify that it is our desire to live in peace with our Arab and Palestinian neighbors, as we did before the Zionist revolution, and as Jews all over the world till today live, accepting the yoke of rulership of their host nation, with complete loyalty. Our sole desire is to serve our G-d and to fulfill His commandments with a perfect heart and to delight in the radiance of the sanctity of the Land.

How many wise people understand what I'm saying?(you'd need at least 5 mins to read this long question)
I think reading this in 5 minutes would be better than listening to the news in a lifteime.And plz don't think I'm 60 or something.Just 18.
My question is: what percentage of what I say is acceptable to you?
Hi people.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most free people in the world, since thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels have a serious influence on people, now the way they wear clothes sounds like western countries, only there are scarves that don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of their hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran, since people have got used to such acts and behaviours.You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagine and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.The Iran you know, is related to at least 40 years ago.At present, everything's so great.Even at that time Iran was not a bad country either, but many things have changed so far.
Some people think music is forbidden in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the prize in France in 2005?Iran's full of music and they're all current pop music.The best you've ever heard.I've put some links at the bottom of the page to some Iranian music.If you like you can just right click on them and choose "save as" to download.
Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're treated very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the their husbands have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford. (so, they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and thet we're Persian not Arab!And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making good scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated,sophisticated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions that the biggest scientists haven't ever managed to.You don't know that Iranian students and spotsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology,maths,physics,anything! Why don't your media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world is in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran
Some people think, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)

See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.So, please don't worry about us, cos we're really free.Ok?
I thought it's better to clarify some political matters as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with (not all of them), said here in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuck them!! Now, this is so odd, their media is good at putting comments, it's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....
First of all you should know that Iranians don't hate anyone, if our government complains about some injustice that's now going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? Nor do we hate Jews, nor do we hate Americans.They're both nice people.If they're media is fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in thier shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem that knocks at your door and asks you to do so?Who says we call Americans athiests?That's so funny, Christians and Jews are both God believers.We've never disrespected them.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing, it means that where you come from and what you're religion is, are not important for us at all.And I wonder why some Muslim countries think there's a problem between Shittes and Sunnies, it doesn't make sence in Iran.
I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn't have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked anywhere?
Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel, he was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Be concious! Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country, while most countries have nukes and are clearly threatening Iran to nuke us! Good isn't it? Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth! Ok, he's said this, but is saying it a crime? If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems who were killed by Saddam aren't important at all! 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 690000000 population (, it's OK and no one says they're treatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News web-site) I know Americans don't like it either, but what can they do?

How many wise people understand what I'm saying?(you'd need at least 5 mins to read this long question)
I assume that your lengthy defense of Iranian culture is aimed at American readers and that you are actually from Iran. I applaud your attempt to defend your country and thank you for sharing your views.
It is true that the American media has long portrayed Iran as the stereotypical hardline country that held our citizen's hostage in the late '70's. From that point forward, Americans have mistrusted and despised the country. That time has come and gone and it is time for us to let those stereotypes go.
I assure you that there are people in America, including myself, that believe that Iran has come a long way in fostering both economic and social change. Much of this is attributed to the new generation of leaders looking towards Iran's future and not focusing on the past. I personally believe that if the American and Iranian people can hold on for another 10-20 years, we will see great changes in the relationship of both countries.
Iran is currently suffering from the American ethnocentric bigotry that we work so hard to cover. Historically, Iran has been a devoutly religious-based country. America has grown very intolerant of its own religious community, even though it was founded on Christian morals. It should be no surprise that we are even less tolerant of Iran's Islamic based culture. No one can deny the fact that women have been beaten, raped, or killed for sexual transgressions in Iran. That is the old way and the new way that you mention is quickly taking hold. Americans forget that less than 60 years ago, our own citizens were beating, raping, and killing because of racism. From time to time, we still hear news reports of racial beatings and killings. We have adopted a new way, also, but there are still more changes to be made.
You should also know that there are college professors and other educators in America that are teaching about the advances that Iran has made. College classes that I took in the '90's were stressing the changing political and social dynamics of Iran. As mentioned earlier, much of this was attributed to the younger generation's liberal views and desire for social expansion.
I hope that everything that you say and everything I was taught is true. Iran has a rich history and potential for an even richer future. It would be a shame for egg-headed politicians (from either country) to destroy the advances made by both countries all for the sake of intolerance and bigotry.
Reply:Sounds as if it was written by a male's perspective because I've read about more jobs being open to women only because of the war. Also about the religion police (as I believe they're called) who beat people that they see as not following the rules of Islamic faith.
Uh, the holocaust was a myth, that's like saying a racist black joke if you're white at an all black party. Not only Jews died, homos did, europeans, people in the war.
It's okay to want for people to learn more about Iran and it's faith and not wanting for people to hate middle easterners, but remember that many loved ones are over there and dying daily. Sometimes people try to find a scapegoat instead of getting a bandaid to fix the problem.
Reply:lol i read dis question for amost 5 mins but i couldnt get the question ...what is da question anywayz???
Reply:Wow. Your message is very enlightening. I learned a lot from reading your post. Thanks!
Reply:At least you have grasped the fact the American Media is controlled by the 1 percent of the richest people in the world. The media puts out what they feel is going to better secure their position in humanity and in their "New World".
All Americans do not believe what our fascist government tells us is true. From my point of view, if any country "hates Americans" it stems from the way the American government treats those people. If I felt your President was in any way related to terrorist activities, I would say please do not strike at our people aim for our fascist leaders. They are lying to us as much as they are lying to the world. Check out this link...

Reply:At least you have grasped the fact the American Media is controlled by the 1 percent of the richest people in the world. The media puts out what they feel is going to better secure their position in humanity and in their "New World".
All Americans do not believe what our fascist government tells us is true. From my point of view, if any country "hates Americans" it stems from the way the American government treats those people. If I felt your President was in any way related to terrorist activities, I would say please do not strike at our people aim for our fascist leaders. They are lying to us as much as they are lying to the world. Check out this link...

People are saying that I talked crap bout them and telling other people that people were saying crap bout them
People have been going around school and telling people that I've been talking crap about them. They've also heard from other people that I have been telling other people that those people have been talking crap about them.
I'm an honest person who hates confrentation and I'm nothing like this. It bugs me because when I tell people my side of the story, from instincts they of corse forget the fact that I'm their friend and just go with the other person and believe that I talked crap about them.
I dont talk crap about people, I have better things to do with my life. So I dont see why people would want to even try and start crap about me, especially when I did nothing to them :(
I haven't had any drama this year until this, and I really hate it because it seems like theres nothing that I can do about it...
What should I do?
People are saying that I talked crap bout them and telling other people that people were saying crap bout them
Hi try not thinking about it so much be cool about it be peaceful in yourself as you love them,gradually they realise themselves that you are a nice person.
Also most of time,is common at schools, when someone knows you are a friend with their best friend in the matter of jealousy he or she wants to destroy your friendship with their friend as a result they go and say lies about you to them.
If your friend approached you and said why did you talk bad about me, tell her listen I think they are jealous that we are friends and they are tying to destroy it.
Tell them if they are really your friends have to trust you,and if there is anything you would tell them yourself ,not hearing it from others,this is called backbiting ,when someone goes and talks bad about others.Tell them I won`t backbite as it quenches the light of the heart.
God bless you more with Patience

Could this article help people know each other better?(This is so long, but full of info)?
I think reading this in 5-7 minutes would be better than listening to the news in a lifteime.Plz don't think I'm a very old person.Just 18.A university student studying English who just cannot sit back and hope.
My question is: what percentage of what I say is acceptable to you?
Hi.I'm Iranian and I live in Iran.When I chat with people from other countries, I understand that they have totally wrong ideas about Iran.I just wrote this article to correct you.
The first thing they accuse our government of, is that they don't let you be free.Actually, Iranians would be some of the most liberal people in the world (liberal meaning not obeying laws that they don't like).Thousands of millions of strict rules in other countries, don't even exist in Iran.Also, you should understand that what may seem so normal to you, maybe a nightmare for us and vise versa.That's why you don't understand a few of Iran's laws.In Iran every single house has a sattelite. Sattelite channels have a serious influence on people,the most fashionable clothes are worn by Iranians.Maybe it's a kind of immitation, but still it's got an unique style, only there are scarves that don't seem to be worn because we're Muslems.People wear fashionable scarves to make themselves more attractive and most part of their hair is out.They do whatever they wish to, and some of the things they do, don't fit our culture at all, however it's normal in Iran, since people have got used to such acts and behaviours.You really need to pay a visit to Iran and you'll be surprised seeing the difference between what you imagine and how the real Iran is! It's wonderful, believe me.The Iran you know, is related to at least 40 years ago.At present, everything's so great if you don't take unemployment into account.Even at that time Iran was not a bad country either, but many things have changed so far.
Some people think music is forbidden in Iran, but did you know that Iranian pop music has won the prize in France in 2005?Iran's full of music and they're all current pop /Trance/ DJ music.The best you've ever heard.I've put some links at the bottom of the page to some Iranian music to download.
Some people think women don't have any rights in Iran! What would you tell me if I tell you that women are now overtaking Iran? They're treated very well, most of the times they're the winners in most cases: They get into the best universities, they get the best jobs, they've got rights that have made it difficult for men to marry them, because husbands seem to be under control of women and they have to buy them expensive things and treat them very well, otherwise women will have the right to divorce them, and then the their husbands have to pay them a great amount of money which most husbands cannot afford. (so, they can simply sit in the corner of prison! lol).The only thing that women are not allowed to do in Iran is getting into stadiums and that's just because IN IRAN, such places are usually full of cheeky guys who would cheek girls.I don't think girls would go there, even if they're allowed to do so.Another funny thing: Your footage about stoning the women who have committed adultery.Have you ever asked yourself they relate to how many years ago?Just for your information, those are from Afghanistan which was once ruled by those freaks (Taliban).I find it difficult to make you understand that Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan are SEPERATE COUNTRIES! and thet we're Persian not Arab!And I find it even more difficult to make you understand that Iran is a normal country like any other countries in the world.There's nothing mysterious about it!(The media is very good at making good scary titles: BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS!!! IRAN UNDERCOVER!!! This would be enough to scare people away! Iranians are much more educated,sophisticated, intelligent and open-minded than what you think!!! I'm sure you don't know that there are lots and lots of Iranian geniouses and scientists that are all under 25.You don't hear about their discoveries and inventions on TV. A small example is this 17 year old boy who's invented 72 amazing inventions that the biggest scientists haven't ever managed to.You don't know that Iranian students and spotsmen are winning gold and silver medals in different compotitions in the world all the time such as robotics, biology,maths,physics,anything! Why don't your media talk about them?Did you know that the countries having the highest number of scientists in the world are in this order? 1-India 2-Korea 3-Iran
A few weeks ago Iran uncovered the most effective anti-H.I.V medicine and now it's signing treaties with other countries to export it.I digged the news on the internet, but there was no single sign of that.What I found instead? "Prez Bush CLAIMS that bomb parts are imported from Iran into Iraq!" The media have gone mad.They'd put CLAIMS on the headlines, but they would never talk about facts!Some interesting facts: Iran is the pionier in medicine and gnetics and Iranian surgens have found lots of new methods for treating spinal defects and many other diseases (mainly the treatment for different types of cancer) and the the best brain and heart surgens are Iranian surgens.The head of Mars Mission in NASA is Iranian.The best designer of sports cars working in Germany is Iranian.Some of the best 3D animators are Iranian.One of the top 5 movie directors in the world is Iranian.(you've always heard about Spiel Berg I think!).Iran is one of the best countries in counter-engineering.Holds the second place in building dams.The 4th highest tower (Milad tower) in the world is in Tehran (which you can visit in the following links).The strongest man (the lift-weighter) is Iranian.The woman, and a song by one of the pop singers who/which won the nobel peace prize are Iranians.It's the only country that has all 4 seasons during the year AT THE SAME TIME.That means while it's winter in one part of it, it may be summer / spring in another part! And as you all know, Iranian girls are famous for being terrific.Persian rug which you all know.Persian literature again you know that is so famous.Persian culture (which is now westernised and only a little has survived!) According to statistics Tehran is the cheapest capital city in the world for foriegners with Dollars of course not for us! (Cos our rate is different) Who do you think is building Dubi?Arabs?No my friends, Iranian architectures, engineers and traders funding them, cos they don't think building the same things in Iran would be beneficial for them, Since the media scare tourists away from Iran.There are many other things.It's endless.
Some charactristics of Iranians would be: Proud, greedy, hard-working, intelligent, ambitious, not realistic, not so religious, not so generous, not punctual, well-dressed, formal, well-educated, warm and friendly and hospitable.
Some people think, Iran's a desert! Iran's a modern country with very beautiful nature and lots of historical places to visit.Please take a look at the following links and see if Iran looks like what you think or not! (Surely it doesn't!)
This is a photo of Tehran: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehran

It's now 2007 and people still think we are uneducated people living in deserts, riding camels and carrying around guns!!!!
See how the media are fooling people? None of the things you hear on the media about Iran are true.If you think I've been admiring Iran too much, that's because you'd do the same thing if you were looked down nearly everyday for some false reasons.
I thought it's better to clarify some political matters as well:
Some of the Americans I chatted with (not all of them), said here in the U.S it's said that president Ahmadinejad hates the U.S and Israel and wants to nuke them!! This is so odd, their media is good at putting comments.It's easy to show a video or an image of our president or leader on the T.V screen or on the internet and say he says this, he says that.....I really don't get the point why our politicians defame themselves by talking about the things that have got nothing to do with us.Does verbal defence of Palestinians cause them to have a better life?The thing is that they occasionally make some statements that the media would misuse it agaisnt Iran. like picking up some specific sensitive phrases from among a long speech (without reffering to the main points and reasons for that speech) and putting so many bad comments on that.No sane person would take it serious, cos everyone would have known by now that 99.99% of what the media say turns out to be wrong and the same percent of what they predict would happen, never happens!
First of all, Iranians don't hate anyone.If our government complains about some injustice going on in the world, it's not bad.Is it? We don't hate Jews, nor do we hate Americans.They're both nice people.If they're media are fooling them, it's not their fault.If I were in their shoes, I would hate Iran too regarding all the terrible lies they keep hearing about it nearly everyday.Although ordinary Iranians don't care about world affairs, I've got to say that for us Israel is not equal with Jews! Israel is a govt, Jews are faithful people! A few of them live here in our neighbourhood and they live just like the rest of the Iranians.No difference.And two of Iranians parliment members are Jews. Who says we want to force the others to convert to Islam?Have you ever found a Muslem knocking at your door asking you to do so?That's so funny. Christians and Jews are both God believers and respectful to us.I wonder why the media like putting words in our mouth and raising hatred.In Iran, religion would be the least important thing, it means that where you come from and what you're religion is, are not important to us at all.And I wonder why some Muslem countries think there's a problem between Shiites and Sunnies, it doesn't make sense in Iran.
I wonder Iran is a threat to whom? How is it possible for Iran to nuke somewhere while it doesn't have any nukes?!!!(The media have never been intelligent liars).Has Iran ever attacked anywhere?There's no proof of that.That's what even nuclear agency says.Only Iran's oppositions are pulling Iran's leg, otherwise what we're doing is legal.What they ask us to do is illegal and nonsense.
Some say he said: Israel should be wiped off the map! But have they told you the rest of his speech and that why he's said this at all? If you know a little literature, you know that it's a passive sentence.He's never said that IRAN wants to wipe Israel off the map! And he wasn't talking about destroying Israel, he was talking about relocating Israel, so that they could live seperate from Palestinians and they could both live in peace.They've only told you this phrase not the rest of it and it's mistranslated deliberitely.Iran's always defended itself, but it's not an offensive country, while most countries have nukes and are clearly threatening Iran to nuke us! Good isn't it? Some say he's said: Holocaust is a myth!Still this is a single phrase from among a long speech and there are totally logical reasons for saying so.Moreover, don't you believe in freedom of speech/mind?If 6000000 Jews were killed, that's so terrible, but those 300000 Shiite Moslems killed by Saddam aren't important at all! Over 650000 Iraqi people are killed and it's not important! When Fox News simply says: America and Israel are capable of destroying and killing all Iran's 690000000 population, it's OK and no one says they're threatening other countries to nuke them (I saw this with my own eyes on the Fox News web-site) Millions of people killed in Afghanistan, Hiroshima %26amp; Nakazaki and vietnam war are not considered human beings at all! Now I think you'd get the point why he's IRONICALLY said it's a mith.I know Americans don't like these either, but what can they do?I hope someday the media would end all this instead of playing a negative role in the world.
Thanks for reading this article up to this point.Now, here's a beautiful gift for all those who have listened to me: Some great Iranian music.

People always seem to think biracial people are better than single raced people, why?
I'm Latino. But I have friends who are mixed, one who is Korean/White, Korean/Black, Puerto Rican/Asian, Black/Persian, Guatemalan/White, Indian/Chinese and a few other mixes.
And no matter what when I describe my mixed friends to other friends (while showing my pictures, people ask questions) they are amazed like being biracial is something special.
I love my friends and they are special, but not because they are biracial, because they are great people.
People also assume all biracial people are gorgeous, all of my friends are gorgeous but I've seen some ugly mixed race people.
I'm just worried about falling in love with someone from another race b/c don't want my kids growing up getting way too much attention for being biracial. I don't want people constantly asking them what race they are or telling them they are pretty BECAUSE they are mixed, like single race people arent pretty!
Why is our culture obsessed with biracial people, at least in my experience they are.
People always seem to think biracial people are better than single raced people, why?
they want to be so modern. Sometimes people think dating interracially is better too. And your right i have seen some ugly a** biracial people before. They are not special, just human, get over it people.
Reply:I don't know. If I posted a question saying white people are the prettiest race or black is the prettiest race I would be called racist. If I made a board saying a biracial person is the prettiest race nothing would happen though. Why not? All three of those instances are generalizing so why do 2 of them get bashed on and 1 is accepted? Double standard. Or should I say triple standard? lol
Reply:Speaking from experience, I've found that bi-racial folks generally ARE more attractive. I deal with a large population of college-age people every day where I have to ask them to choose a racial classification for EEOC purposes. I have no bias and no preconceived notion about any one group being better than another, but for physical attractiveness and an exotic quality, the mixed race kids are standouts more often than their single race peers.
Reply:Just another facet of racism. They think it is okay because it is "positive" racism.
Reply:It's a funny thing, and you're right. People are kind of obsessed with other people's ethnic background.
While I think there are beautiful mixed people...I find single raced people just as beautiful aswell.
But I think there's some kind of prestige put on someone for having the most exotic backgrounds.
Unfortunately, being just white, just asian, just latino, just black...is sometimes thought as boring.
I mean, look at most hip hop music videos and you'll find most of the girls are mixed race...Azzareya, LaShontae, and so on. It's almost as like you're not beautiful unless you're mixed or unless your from a certain country or background. It's weird.
Reply:I personally think the same thing about biracial people and I can say that my answer for this would be because biracial people are different not special but different!!!!!! You see black people all the time especially in a black family! You see whites all the time especially in a white family! But you just don't wake up in the morning and run into a guatemalaian or a puerto rican at the end of the street and when you do it's a small family that just moved in town from new york or somewhere. and sometimes it's just a new look outside of the box that's impressive to some people! do you know that a good sum of people never leave their hometown? not for vacation or a job move or anything..!! so to see someone of a differeft lifestyle and color and speech is amazing to others just because they haven't seen it before. So just be patient with us ok? and we apologize for makin' a spectacle out of some gorgeous otherwise unknown to the rest of us humans that happen to have an ancestry other than AA or caucasian!!!. Be blessed and don't be scared to acknowlede the fact that you are beautiful !!!! and your friends too!!!

Ohh boy, that was funny.
I can't help laughing. Get over it. I'm considered "just white" by most people who never ask and I've no less then seven heritages of seven seperate cultures who, by the by, look only nominally alike in skin tone and nothing alike in build and structure. My husband has four "races". People all over the world care, they get happy or mean, it happens. But to choose or fear to date because of "future" kids?
I'd hate having ugly kids and worry about marrying a man who is everything you want and happens to be far from "pleasing" to the eyes! But worry over each race because of possible kids? People in europe always wanted to know my race and my families linage, friends too. It's a question that happens. Your kids if they are blessed with good looks will be liked for that, race regardless and learn to handle thier lives according to your teaching. Worry about the guy loving you back, not about the future you don't have yet.
And no matter what when I describe my mixed friends to other friends (while showing my pictures, people ask questions) they are amazed like being biracial is something special.
I love my friends and they are special, but not because they are biracial, because they are great people.

Why are people so "anti skinny", people think that just because I'm skinny i dont eat or i'm bulemic...
Y does nobody, think that i have a fast metabolisim instead of thinking i dont eat or im bulemic. What's so wrong with being skinny? People always feel bad for fat people, but not for skinny people, and they just assume that it's easier to gain weight than to loose it. People ask people "are you bulemic," or "are you anorexic?" but people never ask "do you not exercise or something?" to fat people. wats up with that? why, all of a sudden, since we have so many overweight people in the U.S., is everyone being so mean to thin people, and bashing us for being so thin. I eat, i exercise, and i have a fast metabolism. It's not my fault. ( not offense to overweight people) People just assume that skinny people have some kind of problem :(
Why are people so "anti skinny", people think that just because I'm skinny i dont eat or i'm bulemic...
I know exactly what you mean. I am 5 ft 10 124-130 pounds (give or take 5 pounds due to water loss or consumption during distance runs). Doctor says im fine. What people don't realize is that making negative comments to skinny people about being skinny hurts just as bad as saying negative comments to fat people about being overweight. Saying "Your too skinny" can be just as hurtful as saying "Your too fat".
I get this garbage all the time from people. It is really annoying and makes me feel inferior and sometimes angry because its not my fault its just my body type and healthy active lifestyle (Which most Americans don't have). I get "Your so skinny. Whats wrong with you!?". Or "Your too skinny. You need to eat more!" etc. I would never say negative stuff to someone who was fat or skinny.
Peoples sizes are based on so many different factors like metabolism, how much a person exercises, body types, how much muscle mass they have, etc. So people should really stop jumping to negative conclusions towards skinny people.
Just remember this if you are eating enough (Your hunger is satisfied) and you feel good then being skinny is perfectly normal and certainly is not a problem. Based on what you said there is nothing wrong with you. I love "healthy" slender skinny women and I don't care at ALL about chest size. Just ignore the negative comments about your skinniness and tell them to bug off.
Reply:You need to get some new friends because I never hear anyone bash skinny people. Seriously, you are surrounded by haters if they are talking crap to you.
Reply:Don't worry about them as long as your healthy it doesn't matter what others think. I guess people just assume that if your skinny you must have some kind of problem which isn't right.
Reply:It's not all people, hon. I loooooove skinny women!! Especially the really flat chested ones. Don't worry about the things people say, there are always others who hold different opinions.
Reply:I don't have a problem with skinny people, but they always want to try to say they eat as much as everyone else when they don't. I have skinny people in my faimlies, and they do not eat as much as others, they just don't, and it's cool, we always beat them up.
Reply:Don't be mad my friend, I'm a guy that 5'7" and 138lbs. I'm a small fry I've tried many ways to gain weight and be big like football players or at least normal guys but to no avail. Once I realize that I'll never be a big guy, I became happy with myself and my body. Has long has you work out and take care of yourself you should be fine. People will always have bad things to say, just rise above friend!
Reply:People are stupid and mean. they think you can't just naturally be skinny. Just like they think you can't be naturally blonde. I am natural blonde, and ignorant people ask me all the time what "color" I use. Somebody even had the guts to say "it looks fake". Sheesh.
Just be content to be you, and be polite to fat folks, and the rude ones are just jealous and suspicious anyway, it's their problem, not yours.
Reply:people have to realise that there are DIFFERENT body types and some people are just naturally slim... people are either jealous or ignorant... people suck sometimes dont they? just be yourself and laugh in others faces when they are being so sh!t
Reply:I would guess it's envy. They're jealous that you can eat as you wish to and they can't. Although part of the reason you can eat as you wish is that you do exercise. I was always envious of people like that, but I don't put them down. I sort of feel sorry for you because I had a friend who was so slim she couldn't get jeans that would fit her.
Reply:I know; I am in the same park and you are absolutely correct; I know that Hollywood and the model industry likes to praise really skinny women and most agree that there is something terribly wrong with that doesn't mean naturally skinny women should be bashed too; the people who bash or make fun of skinny women are no different than the modeling industry putting someone down for not fitting their standard of beauty
All sizes should be embraced as long as the person is healthy on the inside
Reply:people will never be satisfied with the human body as it is, they need illusions, **** them. Your body is perfect the way it is
Reply:girl i know exactly how you feel. just yesterday i had to get on somebody about calling me anorexic. and the day before that bulimic. i know it hurts. people think only when fat people have there weight made fun of it hurts but it is the same for people like us. you know what i just noticed a lot of the people who say it to me are fairly big. i really try not to let it get to me. i started to eat more but then i got big and i didn't like how i looked and i didn't like that i was trying to change myself to make other people happy so then you know what i started to just eat like i normally do which is still A LOT( you would be surprised). and you know what i just bump those people and just tell myself that those people are haters and they wished they looked as good as me. you better tell yourself the same. and PS email me i want to be friends. and i am talking about something i am experiencing now being 12 years old not 40 years old talking about my past experiences in like 1950!
Reply:It is the fat ones that have the problem.

Do u think people are attracted to similer CHARACTERESTIC.?
For the most part I think people seek a mate who has things in common with them.
But there are also characteristics we seek that we admire or broaden our horizons. Someone shy and quiet might like a more vocal or boisterous partner. Someone who is dark %26amp; moody might seek someone who cheers them up and can brighten their day when noone else can. Someone who is reserved might seek the adventure that a bad boy/girl can give.
Reply:most times it is always the case
Reply:well thats a pretty hard and interesting question.. actually, i think it depends on the person... Because everybody know that a poor woman, wants a rich husband.. But we also know that a person who cares about his health is not going 2 like a person who doenst care about his health and doing alot of unhelthy things... everything depends on the person..
