Go to Iran. Put on a burkha. Act like you are just another head of cattle. Tell me how great Iran is.

About ten years ago, I taught the children of a man from Iran who was married to a lady from Columbia.

Upon arriving at their home to teach I was surprised to see a beautiful Christmas tree and Creche in the living room.

Knowing it was also Eid, I kindly wished the moslem Dad a “Happy Eid”.

Here was his reply as well as I can remember it:

“Thank you...that’s very kind, but we real Persians don’t celebrate this Eid. It is forced upon us by the regime. We only celebrate ONE Eid...the first day of spring. The other eids aren’t our holidays at all”

So...real Persians might celebrate this one in March, but all the others (Eid , Eid Al ADha, Ramadan, etc) have been forced upon the people by their government.

In all of my adult lifetime I have never been so disgusted with my country and its corrupt leaders.

It’s worth noting that the Iranian regime hates Nowruz, and tried to stamp it out during the Iranian Revolution because it’s not an Islamic holiday (and in fact pre-dates Islam). I actually have no problem with this.

Hopefully soon she can celebrate “Death to America Day” (which is a real holiday) in the future with Iranians.

I remember Nowruz during my working as a contractor in Esfahan, Iran during 1977 and 1978. The park by the See-O-Say (33 arch) Bridge was full of people that were peacefully celebrating the New Year. They gave out candy and such. It was a pleasant time then.

Why would a Japanese-American want to promote an Iranian holiday? Strange how America went all these years without “Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of Nowruz, expressing appreciation to Iranian-Americans for their contributions to society, and wishing Iranian-Americans and the people of Iran a prosperous new year”, but after Obama and Jarrett take office, we have to celebrate an Iranian holiday.
