Iranian Mazdean converted to Christianity and then to Islam, a companion of the Prophet Mohammad and faithful disciple of Imam Ali, Salman the Persian (Salman al-Farisi), who was also nicknamed Salman the Pure (Salman Pak in Persian) is a central figure in the history of Islam because of the close ties he had with the Prophet, but also by its influence over many Sufi and mystical currents, as well as the inspiration of Shiite gnosis up to today. Beyond its historical dimension, the character of Salman is also the archetype par excellence of the expatriate and exiled (Gharîb) abandoned any materialistic attachment to go in search of Truth. According to some accounts of the Muslim tradition, he is one of "close to God" (moqarrabûn) and believers …show more content…
Shocked by his discovery of Christianity, he began to reflect on their beliefs, finding soon illogical when the Zoroastrian deity - in this case, fire - may need to be kept by man otherwise it gets extinguish (this rational approach is also reminiscent of Abraham described in the Qur'an, which refuses to worship the sun, moon and stars, based on the fact that everything will disappear may be worthy to be worshiped as God). He therefore embraced the Christian religion. On hearing the news, his furious father decided to lock him in a dungeon. He nevertheless managed to escape and went to Syria where he attended religious instruction to several bishops and Christian monks. He learned from one of his teachers the next coming of a prophet intended to close the cycle of prophetic revelations and to revive the true original religion of Abraham. This prophet was to be recognized by a series of "signs" that, taught him his master: he will be Arabic, will cover his back the imprint of "seal of prophecy" and accept to receive gifts but not alms (sadaqat). Following the death of its last master, he set off to Arabia, the birthplace of the future
Amira Arzu, an Afghan teenager, was only 15 years old when she was forced into an arranged marriage. She was kind hearted, intelligent, elated, and humorous until one day this was all taken away. December 15th, 2016 she was on her way to school in Afghanistan not knowing that her parents were driving her to a Mosque, the Shrine of Ali, to get married to her future husband, Ahmed Akmal. A few days later she found herself on the street Taimani in Kabul, Afghanistan. Amira ran past workers ordering from street carts, women with their children, men in trucks honking at one another, and many looked at her uncertainty as she was running through the streets of Kabul. At the time, she was wearing a blue floral hijab, jeans, and a dress as in Afghanistan you cannot wear a dress without covering your legs. Many deduced that she was without her husband on the streets of Kabul, which is not normally the case, but Amira was different from the other wives and arduously wanting to figure out an escape.

First, let us all send positive 'rays' toward Dr. Melvin-Koushki's for his research on lettrism, because I feel like we've been witness to a lettrist playoff these last two weeks, and his texts have been especially helpful in clarifying and organizing the various trends within lettrism—explaining the implication of the historical and sociopolitical contexts of the various lettrist writers, and their ideological proximity to one another. Kudos Dr. Koushki!
Persian musical instruments have been dated by archeologist to 800 B.C. it was first served as for worship and courtly entertainment. Persians were playing music throughout the Middle East being mistaken for Arabs. Correspondingly, a vocal section which was Persian poetry was added to the music and the melody making Persian music its own. The instruments that were used for Persian music were a Daf it is a frame drum it is one of the most ancient instruments, the Dotar comes from a generation of long neck lutes, the kamanche is a bowed spike fiddle, and the Nay which is like a flute. Of course, those are just a few of the ancient instrument that were used before the nineteenth century. In addition, Persian musical instruments are not created to produce standard and fixed tunes. Persian instruments produce high pitched tones and this also creates its own effects. Furthermore,
Mohammed was born in 570 AD in Mecca, Arabia. When he was a young boy, his parents died, and his uncle raised him as a trader and camel driver. He gained the reputation of an honest, hard-working man in his business. As a result, he provided services for a prominent upper-class entrepreneur. Eventually, he married a wealthy businesswoman. After his marriage, he spent his time thinking about philosophy, religion, and prayer. The people living in Mecca worshiped idols they had fashioned with their hands. He thought this approach to religion was futile. Christianity and the Jewish religion intrigued him because they worshiped one God. All his thoughts confused him. He spent more of his time alone meditating and praying that one of the gods would reveal the true religion to him. One day, when he was meditating in a cave, he saw a vision of the angel Gabriel. The angel told him that Allah, the god he had been looking for, had appointed him as a messenger to his people.
It is normal in human nature to be afraid of the unknown. We fear what we do not know because of the uncertainty behind it and the hypothetical worst-case scenario. One of the main reasons there are people that associate video games with violence is because they do not understand the concept of it. The older members of society do not get why the younger generation play these video games without becoming dysfunctional members of humanity. Pacifique Irankunda wrote a journal describing his experience growing up during the Burundian Civil War, his one-sided “friendship” with an inherently abusive classmate, and how he was introduced to violent video game genre. Irankunda had seen his village turn from a peaceful, silent home to a bloodshed side

The US was in Iran in 1953 during the Cold War. We were there because we were helping overthrow Mosaddeq, who was a fierce nationalist in Iran. The overthrow took about four days lasting August 15 through the 19 in 1953. Mohammad Mosaddeq was the Iranian Prime Minister. He sought to audit the books of Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC). Upon the refusal of the AIOC to co-operate with the Iranian government, the parliament voted to nationalize the assets of the company and expel their representatives from the country. Following the coup in 1953, a government under General Fazlollah Zahedi was formed which allowed Mohammad-Rezā Shāh Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, to rule the country more firmly as monarch. We helped finance the coup so that on August
All states within the international system have to bow to the inevitable and embrace its inherent dynamic force that determines the structure of their governance. Thus, no society within the international arena can stay in voluntary solitary confinement and ward itself off modernity. Berman defines modernism as "any attempt by modern men and women to become subjects as well as objects of modernisation, to get a grip on the modern world and make themselves at home in it" (Berman_1988_p. 5), which becomes increasingly troubled especially in relation to modernising the societal system of the Muslim countries. One of the most salient examples demonstrating a feasible solution to establishing a comparatively stable structure of governance,
