Persians, Patriots, Friends and Comrades:

My word is particularly with you, The Persian Woman,

The purpose of this article is specifically for the Persian youth and then the Persians in general, to know their valuable historical Persian Women. The youth shall be aware of their rich and glorious history. Women in Ancient Persian Empire were valuable beings; they often had important positions in the Courthouse, Ministries, Military, State Department, and other official administrations. Later on, during the First Arabo_Islamic Invasion_Occupation (651 AD), some of the Persian Women gathered Commando and Guerrilla armies, and some associated with their fellow men, combining the resistance forces against the foreign oppressor.

Those brave Persian Women with cooperation of their brave male partners, had managed to free Iran from the "First Arabo_Islamic Invasion_Occupation" (651 AD). The sacrifices of Iranian men and women, under the leadership of Yaqub Leis Saffarid, the son of a simple Ironsmith, had freed Iran on 873 AD and ended 222 years of Arabo_Islamic occupation (651 AD - 873 AD) of Iran. Now we are once again under the occupation. Do you have what it takes to end the "Second Arabo_Islamic Invasion_Occupation" (1979 AD) of Iran?!

It is essential for the Persian Women to know and understand their glorious history of the past, because without it, they will not be able to plant their place in the future of Iran. Young Iranian ladies shall understand that they were not born as second rate citizens, yet this is an Islamic present to the Iranian women! Islam had made an abomination out of proud Persian women!

This article is also for the viewers to observe and compare/comparison the value of the Persian women in the past and the present insult and oppression of the Islamic Regime towards them. Imagine at a certain era women in Iran were wisely running the country, yet at the present, they practically count as properties of men! Legally they count as half of men in all legal documents, physically they should be wrapped in bondage of hejab and chador, so the men will not be sexually turned on (ultimate Islamic male chauvinism)! Technically, according to Quran, women were originally created from a rib bone of the man! Women cannot attend certain important positions such as judicial, military, etc., for the reason that they are not completely alert at all times! This is due to the reason that they go through the monthly cycle, and PMS! During this period, they cannot and are not emotionally qualified to run sensitive positions in the government, religion, judicial, military, politics and etc.

Islamic Scholars have went as far as calling women "Naqes ol Aql" (Mentally Retarded)! Islam clearly states that women are second rate citizens! They must be manhandled, owned, protected, well covered, safe kept and if not obedient, then must be beaten by firm hands of Muslim men!

Women of Iran, once upon a time, you were Queens, ministers, secretaries of state, Generals, and Admirals, and Empress of the land, yet now you are petty slaves, properties, and sub human wrapped in bondage of hejab, looking like crows or penguins! Isn't it time to wake up? The day will come for the women of Iran to set things right, and that will be the day that the Mullahs shall be afraid of the sweet revenge ....

Persian Woman, you were not born incarcerated behind the Chador and Lachak! The day will come for you to burn the chador and lachak; therefore, you can regain your status as Persian Women. Look at what you were and what you are! This is your wake up call!

Observe the beautiful names and deep meanings of the Persian names, then review a few female Arabic names and check the silly, superficial meanings of them in encyclopedia, you be the judge!

Here are the results of my research, hope you enjoy.

Artemisia is one of my all times favorite Iranian Military commanders. Soon I will publish her full updated biography in IPC. Artemisia was not just another Iranian Military Commander, yet she is a living legend and a role model for Persian Women.

Grand Admiral Artemisia with Xerxes The Great
If you surf around Iranian Websites, you will see that many Webmasters mistakenly assume that the lady in this portrait is Esther! This is a grave error! Esther eventually became Xerxes' wife and Shahbanu of Iran; however, Xerxes' original love was Artemis. This is a factual based portrait of Artemis with Xerxes. I should know, because I was the person who published the original version of this portrait on Internet (Old IPC Website). Later on, various Iranian webmasters and graphic designers, touched up my original version and named the lady Esther!

15. Sissy Cambis (fortunate)
Queen Mother, mother of Darius the Third, she was a remarkable Achaemenid woman who fought, resisted and did not surrender to Alexander the homosexual drunk, an epileptic, delusional, alcoholic, homosexual, megalomaniac Macedonian Tyrant. Alexander was very much found of her and had a crush on her!

16. Roxanna (very bright and beautiful)
Princess of Achaemenid, daughter of Darius the Third.

Roxanna Achaemenid
Here is another grave mistake and historical sabotage by the Hollywood Liberal Director "Oliver Stone"! In his "Alexander Movie", Stone portrayed Roxanna as a Black Woman, savage slave girl of Alexander and a minor Achaemenid Princess! In Stone's movie, Rosario Dawson played the role of Roxanna! Now I have no idea what kind of garbage Oliver Stone intended to release and upon what historical information he made his Hollywood Spoof; however, if Stone and I are talking about the same Roxanna, then Roxanna Achaemnid was neither black nor a minor princess! Roxanna Achaemenid was daughter of Darius III, Shahanshah of The Persian Empire! This is a factual based portrait of my Roxanna and the historically accurate Roxanna. Would you please tell me if she looks black or savage to you?!

Fake Roxanna
Oliver Stone's: Rosario Dawson Roxanna
Here are Oliver Stone's portrayal of Roxanna: Black Skin, Savage, Knife Dancing Girl, Animal-like, Minor Irrelevant Princess and Alexander's Sex Slave Girl! Not that there are anything wrong with Wild, Black, Savage, Sex Slave Girls or Rosario Dawson! I actually get turned on by all the above; however, this is not the historically accurate portrayal of the Persian Princess. Furthermore, it was a degrading portrayal of Roxanna! Oliver Stone's Roxanna looks like a Tribal Gypsy Black Iranian female from South Iran and Persian Gulf shores Provinces and Islands such as Hormozgan! Doesn't she?

This brings us to the end of our research, may this document shed some light to the truth seekers and the bright minds of Iran.

Iranian women, think for a second,
Think about who you were then!
Think about who you are now?
You shall rise,
Once again, such as The Phoenix (Qoqnos), you shall rise from the ashes of defeat, oppression, Islamic slavery and suffocation. Once more, you shall break the chains of Islam from your hands and feet. Once again, you shall dump the Arabo_Islamic book of slavery (Quran) in Dumpster of history! Once again you shall gain your status next to the proud Persian men. Iranian women, my words are with you, never surrender, never accept leash of Islamic slavery, never accept your status as one of the many temporary (Siqeh) wives or one of the four permanent (Aqdi) wives of a Muslim chauvinist Male Pig! You are not Siqeh, Aqdi or Concubines, but you are proud Persian women.

Young Iranian woman,
Your place is high in the skies of Persia,
Your place is not by the foot of a Muslim man, as a lap dog!
Arise and break the Arabo_Islamic Chain of slavery,
Arise and regain your lost "Persian Prestige",
Arise and once more, regain your humanity!
You are a proud Persian Woman.

I want you to right at this moment, go out and stand in the middle of the streets of Iran or exile, tell yourselves, you are proud Persian women, then shout it from the top of your lungs:

Hear me roar, Hear me roar!"
