Iran's Islamic Revolution by amindana

While millions of Iranians take to the streets in Tehran and all other cities across the country on February 11 each year to commemorate the victory of their revolution back in 1979, it is still much difficult for many outside the country's borders, specially those outside the Muslim community, to decipher the underlying cause and people's need and motive for revolting against a king whose army was said to be the fifth strongest in the world. The Iranian Revolution (Also known as the Islamic Revolution, Liberty Revolution or 1979 Freedom Revolution) refers to events involving the overthrow of Iran's monarchy (Pahlavi dynasty) under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and its replacement with an Islamic republic under Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the revolution. It has been called an event that made Islamic principalism (or as westerners like to call Islamic fundamentalism) a political force ... from Morocco to Malaysia. The first major demonstrations against the Shah began in January 1978. Between August and December 1978 strikes and demonstrations paralyzed the country. The Shah left Iran for exile in mid-January 1979, and two weeks later Imam Khomeini returned to Tehran to a greeting by several million Iranians. The royal regime collapsed shortly after on February 11 when guerrillas and revolutionary people overwhelmed troops loyal to the Shah in armed street fighting. Iran voted by national referendum to become an Islamic Republic on April 1, 1979, and to approve a new Islamic Constitution whereby Imam Khomeini officially became Supreme Leader of the country, in December 1979, although he had already been known as the Leader and Founder of the Islamic Republic. The revolution was unusual for the surprise it created throughout the world: it lacked many of the customary causes of revolution (defeat at war, a financial crisis, peasant rebellion, or disgruntled military); produced profound change at great speed; was massively popular; overthrew a regime heavily protected by a lavishly financed army and security services; and replaced a modernizing monarchy with a republic based on Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists (or velayat-e faqih). Its outcome - an Islamic Republic "under the guidance of an 80-year-old exiled religious scholar from Qom" - was, as one scholar put it, "clearly an occurrence that had to be explained". For Iranians, it was an era of heroism and sacrifice that brought forth nothing less than the nucleus of a world Islamic state - "a perfect model of splendid, humane, and divine life… for all the peoples of the world".

A day spent with very friendly people at Wat Mongolratanaram. On top of it they served delicious Thai food and I filled up my plate so much with the Pad Thai that I did see a few heads turning towards me..(so now it is clear enough how my resolution of losing those few extra pounds ended, I guess I can never be on a see-food diet)

Day 18 - No work zone! by matteahmb

2009-11-15T15:05:53Z

So we normally work everyday...sometimes more, sometimes less...but Saturday was a no work day. It was a nice break. We woke up to the smell of bacon cooking. My mom made her french toast casserole, which didn't turn out as good as it normally does, but it was still awesome! We had breakfast and then I went outside in my pj's and took some pictures. It was amazing outside. The temperature was near perfect and the sun was out. This was "cheat day" for Justin. We were going to go grab a drink and maybe do some karaoke, but we decided to go see some movies instead. We watched 2012 and Men Who Stare At Goats. Both were great. 2012 was very intense and while it did have the cliche special effects, it also had a good story attached to it. I even teared up at parts. After the movie was over, we both just felt like we needed a laugh. Men Who Stare At Goats, was a perfect fit. It was a lot of fun. Taco Bell and lots of snacks were included in cheat day.
