[edit] Mohsen Sazegara

Hey, I noticed you had done some work on the article on Mohsen Sazegara. I stumbled across it and gave it a thorough rewrite, and was hoping you could take a look at the article. Iran is not my area of expertise, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on the work I did to the article. Thanks. Pepsi2786 11:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article 4

"There is no need that the decisions be in the framework of Islam," is against Article 4 & 177 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I wasn't the one who added sharia; my reversion brought it back.--Patchouli 02:50, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes. There are many contradictory issues in Iranian constitution. Sharia is a a set of fixed Islamic rule mainly in use in sunni countries. While in Iran, clerics believe that they are representative of the prophet. Therefore "what they say is Islam". Therefore we have Expediency Discernment Council. When parliament say A and Guardian council says A is against Islam, then Expediency Council may confirm parliament's decision. That's why Iran is not governed by Sharia as known in most Muslim countries. Mitso Bel 08:58, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The Expediency Council is in charge of mediation, not arbitration that would trample upon Islam.--Patchouli 13:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Also, Iranian law is firmly based on Sharia[1].--Patchouli 13:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The Expediency Council is not independent. Its members are selected by the Supreme Leader & some of its members (Jannati, Rezvani, etc.) are in the GC, too.--Patchouli 13:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, the EC is SL's cabinet, his advisors. The President of Iran is a joker: " the Supreme Leader has some control over appointments to the more sensitive ministries[2]. It has become Common knowledge that Iran is no republic.http://www.internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article1148 --Patchouli 14:01, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Give an example.--Patchouli 14:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


Religion in Iran has become devoid of ethics. The mullahs know it, too. However, they won't give up the power, position, and salary.--Patchouli 14:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
Apparently, EC is more liberal than GC. I saw the foreign investment and trade agreement examples. However, I was more interesting in seeing EC contradict a clear-cut stance of mullahs such as making veils for women optional.

By the way, I was born in Iran and I can speak Farsi at an elementary level — more or less like a child. I also know most of the alphabet. However, I am not able to read a whole paragraph.

Thanks for the examples.--Patchouli 14:41, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you explain your rationale for moving Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi to Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi? In Wikipedia we use the most commonly used name. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] US raid on Iranian Consulate General in Arbil

Just wondering, you are aware that wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, I hardly think U.S. authorities in Iraq would be referred to as "American militants"Rastov 22:24, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
