I watch the whole lecture and this is one the best unbiased program that I have seen on Public TV on Iran. Very insightful and honest.

[Ishkaboobool]

During the Shah Iranian Muslims basically prayed behind the closed door and drank Booz outside  After the revolution they prayed outdoor and drank indoor.

[Ishkaboobool]

I truly enjoyed watching and listening.  Thank you.

On almost all maps printed before 1960, and in most modern international treaties, documents and maps, this body of water is known by the name "Persian Gulf" (see #Persian Gulf or equivalent). This reflects traditional usage since the Greek geographers Strabo and Ptolemy, and the geopolitical realities of the time with a powerful Persian Empire comprising the whole northern coastline and a scattering of local emirates on the Arabian coast.[4] It was referred to as the Persian Gulf by the Arabic Christian writer Agapius, writing in the 10th century.[5]

Thank you Justin. You yourself must be a beautiful person. Sincerely, appreciated your kind comments. :) It is quiet a some years that we, 'Persian' people have unjustly been judged and stereotyped only because; 1- the country decided to stands on their own feet (like any other countries) without a little help from Big Brothers and 2- Because the current regime requires women to cover themselves. I am happy that you agreed with my comments. Live a happy life.

I really want him to travel to Iran again NOW and then have a speech again and talk about America’s current president and how their people feel now and compare today’s Iran with those days’ Iran which he filmed and talk about their people’s opinion.

'shahid' is a persian word for a martyr. I have also been to the cemetary of 'shahids' (martyrs) in tehran in Iran.
