to people of the world;i am iranian.i want to know what do you think about iranian and why?say me your reason.

Answer 1

As an American citizen, I respect and admire the Iranian culture. Ancient Persia was a fantastic, open, tolerant, and formidable culture. Unfortunately, as in Iraq and other Arab nations, fundamentalists are ruining perceptions of the Iranian people abroad. Just as fundamental Christian fanatics cast a pall on moderate, intelligent Christians who think about what they are doing, so, too, do Islamic fundamentalists overshadow the great contributions, unique culture, and future possibilities of Iran. I am saddened that so much suffering and death are caused in the name of Islam, Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion. I pray daily for an awakening in the human soul that leads to a more peaceful, loving, and cooperative life. With so much hate and violence in the world, why must religions, something that should bring comfort, be used to justify so much more hate and violence. I cannot begin to understand. Peace to all and joyous lives.

Answer 2

I am Canadian and there are many ex-patriate Iranians living here in Vancouver. Every Iranian that I have met has been a decent person. In fact I have met some very well educated, very nice Iranians.

However... the people who control the country of Iran are violent bigots who use fundamentalist religious dogma to disguise their true aspirations of power and greed. This is a well worn theme amongst humans in many cultures but it is an acute problem right now in Iran.

How to deal with it is as always a difficult problem. I am very slow to advocate a violent response but there is often little choice when dealing with vicious dictators. I believe that the basic Iranian person is a good person but may lack the resolve to see through the wickedness of their government and want to change it. I would hope that change would come from within.

But... The world community and any decent person cannot tolerate the head of a nation calling for the utter destruction of another nation and that is what Iran has done to Israel on many occasions. This cannot go unchallenged if we want to live in a peaceful world and I for one want to live in a peaceful world.

Answer 3

Iranians (many Iranians who have moved to the United States prefer to be called Persians) have for many years been great friends to the United States. Iranians are respected as a people here. I think most Americans are very worried about any government that is run by religious rules. Our country does not allow religion to be part of government, except in small ways. The United States was started by people who were hurt in their own counties because their rulers did not like their religions, so they made sure religion had no place in government. So Americans do not like your government, but I think we are very fond of the people.

Answer 4

Salaam alecum

Jymsis says your president is crazy because he's heard him speak! I live in the UK and have heard George W Bush mumble incomprehensibly (though I'm told he IS speaking English) and have heard Tony Blair for 9 years, and can't believe a word he says. People are not defined by their political leaders, or all americans would have venereal disease and be alcoholic womanisers (JFK), liars (Nixon), perverts (Clinton) and corrupt(pick any one of 50).
As to Iranians, I was lucky enough to have a friend whose mother was Iranian.
Iran was ruled by a shah (exactly the type of undemocratic monarch that the USA disapproves of, who fled with a great amount of the countries wealth to live in, yes you guessed it, the USA), who was overthrown by an Islamic fundamentalist, the Ayatollah. Neither of these people were moderate men, and both were greatly flawed. However, since the Ayatollahs passing, Iran seems to have adapted into a much freer society, with education for women, freedom of speech (to an extent), and religious freedom and choice.
Iran features some of the greatest history that mankind has ever produced, with a justly proud people. Tamburlaine the Great built palaces in Iran, Alexander the Great paid homage to Iran, and the Iranians helped the Allies during WW2, by fighting the Turks thereby protecting the whole flank of Europe. Unfortunately the West still hasn't forgiven Iran for ousting the shah, and continues to spread malicious untruths about Iran, and the Middle East in general.
There are many people who have not been fortunate enough to receive as good an education as I was privileged to receive, and they believe everything their newspapers print, and TVs preach. without truly understanding political intent and editorial slant (or propaganda if being harsh).
Iran is a beautiful country, with a vast majority of intelligent, cultured and polite people. Like all places where humans exist, it is not perfect, but neither are the UK or US.
Hopefully, one day Iran and the West will see eye-to-eye, in sha allah.

PS David S states that US government is secular not religious, yet their president is a neo-con who plays the religion card constantly and invaded a foreign country for feudal reasons. How many senators/congressmen are Islamic, Hindi, Buddhist, etc. They are all Christian or Jewish and follow their own agenda accordingly. Before anyone believes this is antiAmerican, I should point out that in the UK most of our cabinet are Catholics, we too are led by a Christian Xionist, and most ironic of all; The cabinet minister whose duties are to ensure equality for all, regardless of sex, colour or religion (Ruth Kelly) belongs to Opus Dei, believing women should only enter buildings by the side door, should serve men, and that all none Catholics should be eradicated! Scary.

Answer 5

I do not have any problems with iranians, excpet alot of iranian people along with people form many middle eastern countries hate the us, what they don't understand is that the poeple in this country are not neccesarily represented by the government and the movies that the rest of the world see

Answer 6

I think this is a bogus question, but just in case it is not....here it goes. You people need to stand up and revolt. The idiot running your country is going to wind up being responsible for the United States turning your country into a smoldering ash heap. You people had best wake up now and do something about it. I have heard that their are millions of modarate Iranians within Iran plotting an overthrow of your government. I can only pray that this is true, and it comes quickly before it is too late. PEACE!!!

Answer 7

I support what David S said.

I believe that Iran's economy is in very bad condition, and that a bad economy makes the people unhappy and angry with their leaders. Iran's president tries to make people angry with the United States and other nations so that they won't be angry about the economy and how the government treats them.

The Soviet Union collapsed because it failed its people economically. For many years Soviet leaders told their people that they must work hard to defeat the United States. But their economic system made people NOT want to work.

I think that the same thing will happen in Iran. The leaders will try to tell the people that they must work hard to defeat the United States and show the world that Iran and its president are powerful. But this will not help the people, and they will not continue to work hard for the benefit of the president. In the end, the economy will collapse and the government will have to be replaced by new leaders who understand economics and how to work with other nations.

Answer 8

Answer 10
