Why should we continue the relation with Islamic Republic of Iran?

Arash Daklan
There are many analysis defending theidea of Isolating the Islamic Republic and there are so many analysis againstthat in the space. But in this article I want to open a new viewpoint about thematter that why we should continue our relations and make some debates with thisregime. My analysis will be based upon some critics to the idea that Islamicrepublic is lying all the people for its own expansion aspirations in the regionand in the entire world(1) . My analysis will be based upon two main subjects. Thefirst analysis is based upon a philosophical viewpoint. In this analysis I willprove that all the analysis based upon this idea is epistemologically false andthen they just make the problem more and deeper. In the second one I will showsome realities in this government and will result that its ideology is basedupon some kind of contradictions that force us to make a debate with.

The Septembers of Shiraz


Set in Iran just after the 1979 revolution, The Septembers of Shiraz tells the story of a family living in uncertain times, struggling to cope - and keep hopeful - when the unthinkable happens
In the aftermath of the Iranian revolution, rare-gem dealer Isaac Amin is arrested, wrongly accused of being a spy. In the wake of his terrifying disappearance, his family must reconcile a new world of cruelty and chaos with the collapse of everything they had known.
As Isaac navigates the tedium and terrors of prison, forging tenuous trusts, his wife feverishly searches for him, suspecting, all the while, that their once-trusted housekeeper has turned on them and is now acting as an informer. And as his daughter, in a childlike attempt to stop the wave of baseless arrests, engages in illicit activities, his son, sent to New York before the rise of the Ayatollahs, struggles to find happiness even as he realizes that his family may soon be forced to embark on a journey of incalculable danger.
A page-turning literary debut, The Septembers of Shiraz simmers with questions of identity, alienation, and love, not simply for a spouse or a child, but for all the intangible sights and smells of the place we call home.

Dalia Sofer was born in Iran and fled with her family to the United States in 1983. She received her MFA in Fiction from Sarah Lawrence College in 2002 and was been a resident at Yaddo. She currently lives in New York City.

دەلیا لێلێ دەلیا وێڵێ


شێعر: نفره ت



دەلیا لێلێ دەلیا وێڵێ
دوو حەڤدەیە
رۆژ بێزی لە خۆی دێتەوە
لەو نیو سەعاتە لۆفەدا
دوو حەڤدەیە
ساڵ بێزی لە خۆی دێتەوە
لەو رۆژی ترس و خۆفەدا
دوو حەڤدەیە
لەحنەت ... بارانە

رەجم؟ : بە تف


I have passed the borders of atheism, too.

I have passed the borders of atheism, too.
Beyond the borders full of the waves of worshiping
I have found people who
they are more comfort without God.
They have nouns
as the same that we choose for our toys,
But neither they kill,
nor they deliver.
They have been born just one time,
neither any God has created,
nor any God kills
our species has created them
and they are stronger than us.
They think like us,
they walk, and act.
It seems that they are the "Peace" itself,
neither they fight,
nor they worship.
My friends
my religious sisters and brothers;
I have passed the borders of worshipping.
I love you
not for the sake of God,
but for the sake of human;
for the sake of yourself,
If you feel yet that a God has created us,
then forget about me.
