I can’t help but wonder how popular these studies will be, when all of these midriff-baring, miniskirt-wearing, trampstamp-sporting Girls Gone Wild are forced by Shari’a law into burlap bags and stoned with rocks instead of Ecstasy.
Persion culture..ok. This was bound to happen...what happened when we lost the Vietnam war? Expanded interest in everything Asian...
The weak go to where they think the power is. Right now, at least the perception is that it’s with them.

The best thing about Persian culture is the women. I’ve said it once, I’ll probably annoy you folks by saying it yet again!
Don’t confuse Persian culture with arab/møøslimb culture.
Yeah . . . I’m wondering if these students might actually learn something.
Do they still hang their butts in the air five times daily?
Do they still hang people who don’t conform to the Ko-ran?
Well, I don’t know if that’s a deterrent with leftie types. And some college girls forego their sorority/GGW lifestyle to join Islam and willingly don the hijab, actually liking the security of the rules (looking now for comments from the story on the PSU student convert...). How many support and study and protest for Palestinian and other causes, even knowing the Palis like to strap explosives to their children and that ‘honor’ killings are carried out? If it’s leftie enough, there will be interest. The paradox that their very lifestyle if acted upon in Iran would get them killed will not be comprehended, or will be swept into the pool of relativism...
“Don’t confuse Persian culture with arab/møøslimb culture.”
While just an average civilian, I get the feeling there is
“Classical Persian culture” (or”continual Persian culture in the
homes of Persians/Iranians)
and “Contemporary Persian/Ayaollah-run Culture”.
The former is worthy of respect from what little I know.
About the latter...
Right now, with President Ahmed-What’s-His-Name and all his imprecatory
prayers to some imam-down-a-well...and his energetic push in regards
to some sort of apocalypse with his “Bring It On” attitude...
I’ll fear the latter (Contemporary Persian culture)
As for all the Persian/expat Iranians I met during a decade in “Tehrangeles”,
they were OK folks and good neighbors.
Yes. You have to remember that the Shah of Iran celebrated 2,500 years of Persian Monarchy just 36 years ago. It is kind of strange how some emphasize 28 years of the Islamic Republic over 5,000 years of Persian history.
A neighbor of mine fled Iran after the revolution. He married a woman with average at best looks. Their daughters are drop dead gorgeous.
Cut that out! I’m out of the dog house and you’re gonna put me right back in there if she walks by!
That one liner could be a great tag line....
