Persian Body Art - Cultural Self-Expression
As the fad of tattooing has grown largely in Western culture and throughout the
world so has Persian Body Art. Over the course of the last decade, one ethnicity
has taken the opportunity to express themselves beyond the generic tribal or
Celtic designs found around the arms of young men and women and
celebrities alike. Iranians (historically known as Persians) have also been in
this growing mainstream phenomena of body art and tattooing. However, a
significant difference lies in the way Iranians have decided to express
themselves. read more  or  view photos

Vali Nasr: Trying to Make Sense of it All

policy, there is no better person to turn to than Vali Nasr, who also
serves as Secretary of State Clinton's Mid-East advisor. read more

International Women's Day & the Islamic obstacle
The International Women's Day has assumed a new global dimension for
women in developed and developing countries alike. Nevertheless, the

Islamic Republic of Iran, is a new serious barrier in the way. Today,

community along with the United Nations practically ignore the fate of
hundreds of millions of women who are conscious or unconscious victims
of Islamist misogyny. Today, we know that struggle for equality, justice,
peace, democracy, secularism and development is not separated from
the struggle against Islamomisogyny.read more
