“I am Cyrus. King of the world. When I entered Babylon… I did not allow anyone to terrorize the land… I kept in view the needs of people and all its sanctuaries to promote their well-being… I put an end to their misfortune. The Great God has delivered all the lands into my hand; the lands that I have made to dwell in a peaceful habitation…. . .When my soldiers in great numbers peacefully entered Babylon… I did not allow anyone to terrorize the people… I kept in view the needs of people and all its sanctuaries to promote their well-being… Freed all the slaves… I put an end to their misfortune and slavery (referring to the Jews and other religious minorities). The Great God has delivered all the lands into my hand; the lands that I have made to dwell in a peaceful habitation… “
"I have no religion, but if I were to choose one, it would be that of Shariati's."

My Lord, grant me success in struggling during failure, in having patience in disappointment, in going alone, in Jihad without weapons, in working without pay, in making sacrifice in silence, in having religious belief in the world, in having ideology without popular traditions, in having faith (Iman) without pretensions, non-conformity without immaturity, beauty without physical appearance, loneliness in the crowd, and loving with the beloved knowing about it.

This is what US government and the Zionist regime of Israel mean by “War on Terror”!
Yesterday it was the 60th anniversary of brutal occupation of Palestine by Israel. Mr Bush participated in the Zionists festival on 60 years of terror and torture! 60 years of state terrorism! 60 years of unrest! 60 years of war on people’s hope to return to their homes! . . . And they will, one day they will return to their homes!
Since the days when Roman Emperors threw Christians to the lions, the relations between the emperors and the heads of the church have undergone many changes.
Constantine the Great, who became Emperor in the year 306–exactly 1700 years ago–encouraged the practice of Christianity in the empire, which included Palestine. Centuries later, the church split into an Eastern (Orthodox) and a Western (Catholic) part. In the West, the Bishop of Rome, who acquired the title of Pope, demanded that the Emperor accept his superiority.
Although it is not often reported by the press, a large proportion of American diplomatic and military experts have long held that U.S. support of Israel is often contrary to and, in fact, extremely damaging to U.S. interests.
The Pakistani Spectator made an interview with me and published it today in here. I would like to appreciate them and particularly Ghazala Khan for giving me this chance. It was a wonderful experience for someone like me who is new to English blogs.

Would you please tell us something about you and your site? Yes, the site is called Persia, and it is mainly about politics, life, and religion as I understand them. I am a Muslim from Iran, and I have lived in US for more than a decade. I was a university student and have been into many places in US. I found Americans one of the most religious people in the world. They are mostly nice, kind, and honest people. However, I must say that the politicians are completely different.In my belief US politics, and in specific its foreign policy, is mainly in the hands of Jewish Lobby. They push US government into problems that are not even in the interest of US people. One of my purposes in this blog is to discuss these issues.
