Iran Gifts 100 Books to US Columbia University
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- An Iranian state institution gifted 100 volumes of books on the US occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan to the library of Columbia University.
The books which contain hundreds of caricatures on the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan have been gifted by the director of the Foundation for Safeguarding and Promotion of the Values of the Sacred Defense (i.e. Iraqi imposed war on Iran 1980-1988).
"To honor the self-restraint and patience of the Columbia University students during the address of Dr. Ahmadinejad and to appreciate their freedom and justice-seeking spirit, one hundred books on occupation (of Iraq and Afghanistan) along with the English translation of the book 'There was God and nothing else' by the honorable martyr and scientist the late Dr. Mostafa Chamran will be gifted to this university," the Foundation's director Mir Feysal Bagherzadeh said on Sunday.
The Book 'Caricatures on Occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan' is a collection of the masterpieces of the world's famous caricaturists and has been released by the said foundation.
LOL
Thousands fled then. So many more wished they had. The Shah wasn’t the terrible dictator that the press has made him out to be.
I hope Iran is free from these murdering b#st#rds soon.
When I was at UT, I lived in a near-campus complex and BBQd on my patio often. I wound up cooking for Texas football players (their stairwell was above my pit) and also for an Iranian student, studying law, who professed the same opinions as your friend.
Are you Iranian?
I recall him also talking about the Shah and the realities of his rule. Like you said, quite different from what Carter and the left portrayed him to be.
I learned a lot from him. He tried to teach me some phrases, but I long ago forgot the few words that he taught me. He swore that I could get women with the phrases. :-)
Never occured to me to ask him his religion.
Same for my old classmate. He never mentioned his own faith. I do know that he wanted Iran to be what it once was and that included being religiously tolerant. Just like your neighbour, this guy was a happy-go-lucky sort.
Next stop, House of Saud.
No, I’m not Iranian
Just curious.
Some of your comments reminded me of thing said by my former classmate.
Here’s hoping some of the pages don’t have powder laced wtih anthrax in them. *bump*
