I dedicate
this piece to my dearest Grandmother, one of the most educated,
intelligent, independent, and powerful women in my life. May her
free spirit rest in peace.
Friends, Comrades
and Fellow Persians,
Free Men and Women of Iran and Friends of Iran,
For those
of you who are Nationalists and you are of the Older Generation
who had lived during the Pahlavi Era and also had lived during
the An-Qolabi Era (An = feces + Qolabi = False => False-Feces
Era, referring to IRI's Islamic Revolutionary Era) [Admzad] inside
Iran, the content of what I am about to show you will be very
painful! It is like regressing in history! In this day and age
that the whole world is going forward, our nation went backward
in time!
I am about
to tell you a story about,
Women's
Liberation Day of Iran
January 7, 1936 = Day 17, 2494 Shahanshahi
When Reza
Khan and Women of Iran combinely freed themselves from the
enslavement of Hejab and Chador. On this day, free women of Iran
took their Chadors, Lachaks, Maqana'e, Scarves, Hejabs, or any
other kind of Arabic invented RAGS off their heads! The free women
of Iran, our brave Grandmothers decided to threw all the rags
and chadors on the streets of the major cities of Iran, and first
to step on them like garbage and then burn the infection of Hejab.
The Hejab Burning went on the whole day. The complete celebration
of taking the hejab off of free women of Iran was called "Kashf-e
Hejab" (DeChadorization) of the women. From this date,
intelligent women of Iran came out in the streets with hair showing,
same and equal as men. The free women of Iran chose to show their
hair and if they wanted a covering, they used the latest models
of Women's Hats and the fashionable Western Hats from Italy, France
and other places. Reza Khan in prior to this, had ordered Iranian
factories to make many "Pahlavi Hats" (fashionable
military looking hat during the Pahlavi I era) for men and many
stylish women's hats.

This was the
end of Enforced Arabo-Islamic injection and Infection of our women's
brains. The oppressed women of Iran had indeed spit on the enforced
hejab. Since then, women participated in the economy, job market,
society, education, and industrialization of the Iran, as equal
as men.
Women started
to go to universities and get college degrees. Women started to
educate themselves in their own country and no more to see the
need to go to Europe to study!
One of these
women, a very young woman was my Grand Mother. Thanks to Reza
Shah The Great, Father of Nation, my dear Grand Mother gotten
the opportunity to study in her own nation. My Grand Mother eventually
became a Doctor of Medicine, a Gynecologist, and she became fluent
in French which back then was still the international language
of specifically most of the Africa and Asia. In Iran, of course
any educated person was speaking French. English was just starting
to become popular. By hard work, hard study, solid determination
and faith in the newly Nationalistic Reforms of Reza Khan, My
Grandmother graduated the top of the very First Graduating Class
of the Tehran University. She was also, one of the very first
Female Medical Doctors of Iran. After she graduated, she decided
to go to pay her dues to the nation by practicing medicine in
the small towns and villages of South in Khuzestan province.
She did not
do this because she had to, or the government forced her to do
so. She was a Lioness and until this day, one of my greatest role
models of all times. She went to practice medicine in little towns
and villages around Ahvaz and Abadan, even in the Ghettos and
Dumps or housings which were the lowest forms of housing and they
are called "Kapars" (Kapar = singular) of Khuzestan. Kapar is equal to a shack, scattered housing or a hole
in the ground!
She brought
modern medical science (along with many other educated men and
women of Iran) to the poor, to the lower classes, which other
wise they would not get the medical benefits that the big city
people would get. My grand mother educated, worked with and helped
the lower and under classes of Khuzestan, mostly Arab Iranians.
She lived amongst them and became very popular with them.
Reza Khan's
first wave of operation was to educate, and through this education,
to bring justice and quality, medical health and industrialization
to the poor and oppressed and eventually raise the quality of
life in general and way above the Status Quo of Iran.
Women like
my grandmother were devoted to the cause, on the other hand there
were Fanatical Muslim, Bazaaris (Merchants of Bazaar), Mullahs,
Feudals, Big Land Owners, and Old time Small Bourgeoisie, which
were all the Reactionary Classes of Iran who did not want all
these modernizations for Iran. They did not want Iranian women
to be educated and independent. They preferred bare foot and pregnant
women in the kitchen and in the bedrooms to serve them as cattle.
They preferred the cattle groups of 4 Aqdi permanent wives and
as many Siqeh temporary wives in their side harems! Small Bourgeoisie,
Mullah Leeches and Bazaaris were the scum of the social classes
and the most reactionary group of the Iranian Social classes.
If the masses of Iran had gotten educated, then they would not
serve the Masters and Big Time landowner Mullahs or Feudals, anymore!
If women would become literate, then they would not become Siqeh
by the thousands! A literate woman works, serves and supports
herself! An illiterate woman remains a housekeeper, a servant
and dependent to her Master Male Chauvinist! Is there any wonder
that there started an Antagonistic conflict between the benefit
of The Women, Labors, Peasants and progressive Intellectuals of
Iran with these leaches of Small Bourgeoisie?!
The almost
extinct social class of Feudals, Mullahs, and Bazaaris decided
to save their own neck and since the beginning, they forced their
women to keep their chadors and the men to keep their Kolah Namadi
(Beanie Hat). Reza Khan started to enforce the campaign of cutting
chador, Hejab, Turban or Beanie Hat from the most backward elements
of our society. On every main street corner and intersection of
Iranian cities, Reza Khan had assigned the police force to cut
chadors, robes and turbans with scissors. Obviously the Leeches
and Mullahs played the "Religion Card" again! As usual,
the Reactionary Islam came to the rescue of the most ignorant
social classes of Iran which were the Mullahs, Feudals, Land Masters
and Bazaaris, also their children of Bache Mullah, Bache Bazaari,
and Bache Feudal or Bache Arbab.
The use of
Religion Card, as an Ace, influenced the naive ignorant people
of the streets to show reaction to Reza Khan's reforms and that
was the beginning of the birth and rise of the groups such as
"Fedaian of Islam" and their leaders and members (Navab
Safavi and Sadeq Khalkhali). One of these backward reactionaries
was of course Ayatollah Khalkhali who eventually became
Khomeini's executioner. People like Khomeini formed their
arguments and Mullahs started their rebellion.

demonstration on 1979.
On 1979 Ayatollah Khomeini released a statement to make the hijab
mandatory. Right away protests had exploded all over Iran.

Islam as the
most reactionary element started to block the progress in Iran;
however, Reza Khan was the man of steel and during his era, he
progressed Iran by full speed (speed of light) and he crushed
any reactionary movement like an Eggshell.
The question
remains that did Reza Khan also crush the certain freedoms
(for some), with pushing the full modernization of Iran? I believe,
he indeed crushed some of the freedoms, and even reactionaries
and chadoris, or Mullahs, which are the most ignorant of our social
classes, do have rights.
However, have
in mind that no major industrialization and progressive plans
in the world went peaceful! There was always reactionary blockage!
So what to do? Was his crushing the Reactionaries justified? And
what would you do, if you were in his place?
Eventually
it came down to what is the priority for the nation? To progress
Iran and crush reactionaries' rights, or to let Iran rot in infection
of Religious Backwardness of the 7th Century Islam and to kiss
any hope of industrialization good-bye? Well, obviously Reza Khan
decided on the first choice.
Eventually
my Grandmother had done her chores and national duty for the underachieved
people, and after her long service in South, she grew up to be
one of the most famous female doctors of Iran from the first graduating
class of Tehran's University. The woman was pure logic and pure
science, even way back then in the dark ages!
Times passed,
and eventually I was born and became her favorite Grand Son, I
became the apple of her eye. Ever since I was a child, I grew
up with and under the supervision of my Grand Mother. Around the
family, they called her Khanom (Lady), so I was Khanom's Son!
No one called me my mother's son, yet every one called me Khanom's
Son, that's how close I was to my Grandmother!

A
Dialogue with Grandmother
One day, I
recall, we were walking the street in a busy district and we saw
a Mosque on the far side, all the way on the other side of a side
street. Knowing her mentality, political affiliation and sincerity
for women's Movement, also knowing her great sense of humor, I
decided to pull her leg, and try to play a joke on her! I asked
her:
X: Grand Mother, look, there's a Mosque over there, would
you like to take a walk over there, so we can go in and visit
the Mosque and Imam Jum'a (head prayer Cleric)?
I thought
for sure she gonna cuss me out and hand me some nasty profanity,
or smack me at the back of my head, but to my surprise, she gave
me a response that until this day, I often quote from her! She
said,
G: Listen boy, I do not have to use the bathroom.
X: What do you mean Grand
Mother? (totally surprised)
G: Don't you know all Mosques have Public Bathrooms?
X: I guess so, yes they do!
G: Well, that is the whole purpose of the Mosques. They
are public Bathrooms, so if one is walking the streets and gets
so desperate that he has to use the bathroom, then he can go to
the Mosque and use the Bathroom! But my dear Big boy, I do not
have to use the Bathroom; therefore, I have no business in the
Mosque!
She got me
by the surprise, and then she started laughing. I was taken by
the surprise, and then we both continued laughing and walking,
we walked by the Mosque and continued our stroll down the block
.........
Eventually,
I developed this idea, that the Mosques can actually do some good,
serve some purpose and maybe in the future of Iran, they can serve
as Public Bathrooms (Ab-riz-gah)! We can finally put Mosques in
a good use!
The
Difference between Reza Khan and Mohamad Reza Pahlavi
In my opinion,
Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi (MRP) to a great point was responsible
for the present Islamic state of Iran. MRP was a religious superstitious
man whom provided breathing and breeding grounds for Mullahs and
left them alone to do as they pleased in the mosques. Mullahs
had absolute political freedom of speech and they had turned the
mosques in to the political meeting places. During MRP's reigns,
Chador and hejab started to reappear in Iran! Shiite Islam was
the official religion of Iran and MRP himself was a religious
Muslim! MRP's lack of secularity and secular policies were the
direct causes for the birth of Islamic Republic of Iran.
Every single
secular progressive effort done by Reza Shah the Great was regressed
by his not so worthy son, Mohamad Reza Shah Pahlavi. As much
as Reza Shah The Great was a secular, progressive and a bright
man, yet his son (Mohamad Reza Shah) had his brain infected with
the Allahic Virus by the Queen Mother! Unfortunately, unlike his
father, MRP was a religious superstitious Muslim (Reza Pahlavi
II is the same)!
If Mohamad
Reza Shah Pahlavi was as aggressive, determined and strict with
his anti hejab, anti mullah and secular policies as his father
was, then IRI would have never been born.

Question:
Now how did we get from scholars like Cyrus The Great and Yaqub

Answer:
Arab Worship, Regression of Superior Persian Culture, Domestication
of Persians and Degeneration of a Nation, by Arabo_Muslim traditions
and servants to these traditions (Iranian Muslim and Half-Breeds),
that's how!

I guarantee
you that one day, not too far, the free women of Iran will deal
with the Mullahs for decades of enslavement. That day, would be
worth watching!

Dr.
E. M. My Grandmother
In her youth,
when majority of Iranian women were trapped in chador and superstition,
she was a women's rights advocate, an intellectual and a popular
medical doctor.
In her middle
ages, when majority of women were housekeepers and homemakers,
she was a businesswoman, real estate investor, stock investor
and a medical professional.
In her mature
years, when majority of her peers were clueless in the mosques,
she was reading "Burs Newspaper" (Iranian stock market
daily) as her morning paper!
My Grandmother
was a leader, lioness, intellectual and a hard-core women's rights
advocate. She was a true role model for the Persian women.
Grandmother, the battle which you and your comrades had started,
shall go on until the ultimate victory. Grandmother, may your
great spirit rest in peace. I salute you.
Comrades,
victory shall be ours but in the meanwhile remain FreeMen and
FreeWomen (Azadeh Bashid va Azadeh Zendegi Konid.)
More power
to all freedom fighters of Iran
