"Censorship fears rise as Iran blocks access to top websites"
Robert Tait in Tehran
Monday December 4, 2006
The Guardian

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Iran yesterday shut down access to some of the world's most popular websites. Users were unable to open popular sites including Amazon.com and YouTube following instructions to service providers to filter them."


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Last week Mohammed Tourang, head of the information bureau's cultural committee, warned Iranian websites of stricter rules by announcing steps to stamp out "immoral and illegal" content. He said site owners would be given official reminders to eliminate forbidden material. Special attention would be paid to content judged to be a threat to national unity or insulting to sacred religious texts and symbols. Students and academics say the move limits their ability to conduct research.

The purge mirrors a rising tide of censorship in Iranian publishing which has resulted in the banning of hundreds of books, including western classics. Illegal satellite dishes have also been seized."

"Iran: Parliament shortens Ahmadinejad's term
Vast majority of Iranian lawmakers vote to move up presidential elections by 18 months, final say on matter up to Ahmadinejad's arch-rival"
Dudi Cohen
Published: 12.03.06, 20:44

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Will Ahmadinejad's term be cut short? The Iranian parliament voted on Sunday to unite the presidential elections with the upcoming parliamentary ones, this according to the official Iranian news agency.

The proposal, which passed with a surprising 80 percent majority, may cut the term of sitting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by 18 months.

The bill must still be ratified by the Iranian constitutional committee, which is headed by former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, Ahmadinejad's arch-rival, a fact which many see as indicative that the bill will indeed be authorized."

"Have you been Ahmadinejadized?"
By Robert Spencer
FrontPageMagazine.com | December 4, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "That he chose a verse that rules out “partners” of Allah indicates that he intended a swipe at Christianity, as in the Islamic view Christians have associated “partners” with Allah by regarding Jesus as divine. Thus Ahmadinejad is calling upon Americans, and the world, to forsake Christianity for Islam. If we heeded this call, of course, we would be Ahmadinejadized.

He has skillfully couched his call in the language of freedom from “coercion, force and injustice,” and the promotion of “common human values, and honesty and compassion.” But no one should be fooled: behind his carefully chosen words is a reality, thinly disguised, of aspirations to genocide, along with the institutionalized subjugation of women and religious minorities, and the extinguishing of the freedoms of speech and conscience.

Those things are what the President of Iran wants for us most of all. They are the quintessence of Ahmadinejadization."
