Barbaric Islam vs. Aryans (July 9 Protests)

Iranian ^ | 7/4/03 | Amil Imani

I read somewhere that "the whole story of the progress of human liberty shows that concessions yet made... have been born of earnest struggle... If there is no struggle, there is no progress."

I believe all human beings are privileged to have liberty of life. Prejudiced, medieval-like actions must and should be eliminated in this 21st Century. The pinnacle of cruelty must and should be obliterated in our new era.

Human beings are obliged to look forward to a brighter and more enlightening future and work hard to bring prosperity, not only to this generation, but also to the generations to come. That applies to all the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve, not just to a particular rich industrial section of this global village.

There are many nations in this global village of ours that have been struggling, in many ways, for centuries to reach the prosperity that most have enjoyed in Western nations. This divisive gap between the very rich and the very poor has never been clearer, to the entire world, than it is today. With the advent of the Internet, we have more accurate information on this calamity, this reality that we all live with, on a daily basis.

When many immigrants arrive at the port of New York, the first thing they want to see is the Statue of Liberty, and it is something beautiful. It is something extraordinary in the eyes of people who have dreamed all their lives, of seeing this symbol of liberty. It represents what America must be and ought to be. It represents America, the land of the free, and the land of opportunity.

That hasn't changed in 116 years, but there were have been subtle changes in what she came to represent. Before she was a statue and before there were waves immigrants, she was Liberty. Just Liberty. Now it means much more than a statue. Now, it is America and we must not allow the recent tragedies in New York to tarnish this magnificent symbol of love, justice, and liberty for all mankind.

America was founded on aspirations of liberty and justice for all. She is now a proud country with very a rich constitution that protects, not only its own citizens, but whomever makes it to her shores. For that, we all must all be grateful and thankful and struggle to keep it that way.

What inspired me to write this article was the mere fact that all forms of life start with struggle. We all know that the city of Rome was not built in one day. Similarly, people's liberty and freedom were not given to them simply because some ruler felt sorry for the masses. They were secured with many bloody revolutions, an inch at the time. That's how most countries have achieved their liberty and freedom.

Iran is a land of beauty and love, but also a land of turmoil. At this critical crossroad in her history, this old nation, perhaps, the mother of all nations, needs you. This very rich culture which has given the world many great scientists, in all areas, unparalleled poets, such as Rumi, Ferdowsi and Hafez needs you.

Iran has the youngest and brightest and the most educated population of any country at this time in history. Iranians, like many other nationalities, have been struggling to achieve the liberty and justice and freedom that are being enjoyed, mostly, in the western countries.

The Islamic Republic says NO to a population of 70 million. The Islamic Republic says NO to liberty. The Islamic Republic says NO to justice and NO to freedom. Ultimately, if its leaders succumb to the will of the people, they will have to pack and leave. The Iranian people believe that "everyone has the right...to hold opinions without interference and to see, receive and impart information and ideas through any media, regardless of frontiers."

The Islamic Republic, perhaps, is the only nation in the world whose leaders work, twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year, against her citizens. It is as though the sole purpose of this regime is to torture, antagonize, fabricate, lie, harass, arrest, murder, and intimidate her innocent citizens in the name of some sort of Islam from of a different planet.

Yes, life itself is a struggle, but the vast majority of Iranians are struggling, at this very moment, for simple and basic human rights.

Ladies and gentlemen of the free world! We need your moral support now more than any other time in the history of our country. We need your support NOW. The rewards for supporting love, justice, liberty, and freedom for those who are trapped in an Islamic terrorist country are magnificent. You will receive your rewards from the Almighty Lord, either in this world or the next.

My fellow freedom loving people! July 9th, 2003 is almost upon us. Millions of people, inside and outside of Iran are gearing up for a tremendous movement on that day. Iranians are hoping to eradicate the Islamic barbarity from the land of Aryans. They are hoping you, the people of earth, watch them, pay attention to them, and help them morally in whatever capacity you are able.

Your other fellow human beings need you, and need you now. So, I beseech you to come out on July 9th, 2003, in front of the Iranian consulates or the embassies of the Islamic Republic, in your respective countries, in solidarity with the people of Iran.

A stream of light shall pierce the darkness of ignorance and man's oppression until Liberty enlightens the world. -- President Grover Cleveland

This divisive gap between the very rich and the very poor has never been clearer, to the entire world, than it is today.

-----------------

Why is it divisive? Because people in one country have built something and another group of people they they should have it?

The Iranian people held candle light vigils in support and sympathy of the US after 9-11. I think now that they need our support, we should show our solidarity with the Iranian people who are trying to get rid of the shakles of extremist Islam, which is a threat to us too.

Most **excellent** idea. I have been praying daily for the Iranians. We can also do something more constructive. How long will the media ignore Iran if we have vigils like the Support the Troops showings?

Drat. I thought this was a protest/counter protest between Islamics and the Aryan Nation (the wackos, not Iran).

[FairOpinion]

I think something got lost in translation, that's how the "Aryans" got in there.

I think they meant the "crazy, evil, extremists Muslim Mullah" vs. normal Iranian people.

[freedom44]

Yeah it's often confusing.

What's meant by Aryan here is pre-Invasions of Persian Empire of Iran. King Cyrus was King of King--King of Aryans and praised in the Bible 22 times --mentioned as one of God's people and was the person who freed the Jews.
In fact, Iran literally means 'Land of the Aryans'.

Reza Khan--The First Pahlavi Shah remained the country from Persia to Iran to emphasize Iran's nationalism and mistrust and distance from Arabs and Arabic culture.

It's unfortunate that Hitler the deceptive beast destroyed everything the meaning originally stood for.
He destroyed that as he did everything else in the world.

unparalleled poets, such as Rumi, Ferdowsi and Hafez

Yeah, right. Sorry, they somehow didn't make my short list.
Otherwise, this is a pretty good article.

[freedom44]

Omar Khayyam doesn't make your shortlist of poetry?

If he doesn't make your shortlist of Poets then you're missing out.. he's an exceptional poet of Persian history.

"Similarly, people's liberty and freedom were not given to them simply because some ruler felt sorry for the masses. They were secured with many bloody revolutions, an inch at the time. That's how most countries have achieved their liberty and freedom. "

The Iranians that wish freedom must be ready to shed blood.

Maybe more than just a little, too. They need to be willing to shed as much as it takes.

The critical question: Are they, or will they be?

The facts in the region would argue that the cultures and religion do NOT poise them well, for the task at hand.

Will they pay the price of freedom, or wilt before yet another tyranical regime?

It really drives me nuts when people call Iranians Arabs.

Ary·an adj.

Word History: It is one of the ironies of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-eyed physical ideal of Nazi Germany, originally referred to a people who looked vastly different. Its history starts with the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Their tribal self-designation was a word reconstructed as *arya- or *rya-. The first of these is the form found in Iranian, as ultimately in the name of Iran itself (from Middle Persian rn (ahr), “(Land) of the Iranians,” from the genitive plural of r, “Iranian”). The variant *rya- is found unchanged in Sanskrit, where it referred to the upper crust of ancient Indian society. These words became known to European scholars in the 18th century. The shifting of meaning that eventually led to the present-day sense started in the 1830s, when Friedrich Schlegel, a German scholar who was an important early Indo-Europeanist, came up with a theory that linked the Indo-Iranian words with the German word Ehre, “honor,” and older Germanic names containing the element ario-, such as the Swiss warrior Ariovistus who was written about by Julius Caesar. Schlegel theorized that far from being just a designation of the Indo-Iranians, the word *arya- had in fact been what the Indo-Europeans called themselves, meaning something like “the honorable people.” (This theory has since been called into question.) Thus “Aryan” came to be synonymous with “Indo-European,” and in this sense entered the general scholarly consciousness of the day. Not much later, it was proposed that the original homeland of the Indo-Europeans had been in northern Europe. From this theory, it was but a small leap to think of the Aryans as having had a northern European physiotype. While these theories were playing themselves out, certain anti-Semitic scholars in Germany took to viewing the Jews in Germany as the main non-Aryan people because of their Semitic roots; a distinction thus arose in their minds between Jews and the “true Aryan” Germans, a distinction that later furnished unfortunate fodder for the racial theories of the Nazis.

Thank you for your post on origins of the term "Aryan".

It's what evil does. Words, symbols, constitutions....
