The havoc caused by the utter incompetence of the ruling mullahs in Tehran has brought such tremendous harm to the socio-economic and international dignity of Iran that at times the people of Iran are blamed for and even equated with the short-sighted policies of their so-called leaders. The voluminous work of such well known Western scholars as Dr. Arthur Upham Pope, Dr. Edward Browne and numerous other Iranologists have objectively shed a bright light on the historical, artistic and scientific accomplishments of this benevolent nation. However, today and sadly enough, terms such as &quot;terrorist&quot;, &quot;rogue&quot; and &quot;outlaw&quot;, which are pertinent only to the behavior of the despotic mullahs, are inadvertently uttered to describe  million Iranians.

Unfortunately, as most of the Iranian scholars of the time accepted Arabic as the lingua franca of their scientific and philosophic works and thus wrote their books in Arabic, the legacy of Iran today, is at times erroneously attributed to the Arabs. But we have the word of many European scholars on this point who have demonstrated how grand and prolific the Iranian legacy has been. Italian scholar Aldo Mieli tells us that: &quot;The principle part of Arab science of the Orient is created by the Persians. Without any possible contestation, in fact it is to Persia that belongs the best names of these greatest of Savants such as Razi, Avicenna and Biruni.&quot;The late Professor Edward Browne says: &quot;Take from what is generally called Arabian Science, from Exegesis, Tradition, Theology, Philosophy, Medicine, Lexicograp...]]></content:encoded>

It was understood in Egypt, and records are found showing that it was practiced at a remote period in the Far East. The Chinese developed the silk looms and wove brocades of such beauty that they are cherished as museum pieces and used for inspiration to this day. For a long time the secret of the origin of silk fiber was carefully guarded. Silk cocoons were eventually smuggled into India in the headdress of a Chinese prince and from there into Byzantium. India learned silk weaving from the expert weavers of China. The Greeks and the civilized people of the Near East also developed textile production. Monuments of Assyrian and Persian sculpture and Greek vases show draperies of figured fabrics. On the vases of the sixth century B.C. are found striped patterns with designs of winged horses and chariots. Since then all races have learned the art, and it has followed ...]]></content:encoded>

Students are always a sensitive barometer of tensions building up in society and often act as the flash that ignites the fuse. In the microcosm of yesterday's encounters we find the clear outlines of the future conflagration. By all reports it began with a tiff between a group of Sunni and Shiite students. Within hours it engulfed Beirut's Al-Arabiya University campus and spread beyond it into mixed SunniShia neighbourhoods. As students battled initially with police, men wearing construction hats and wielding iron bars piled in on the side of the students. The Army was called in and battled all day to try to keep the two sides from tearing each other apart. As fighting spilled over into local areas, hundreds of unemployed and working youth began ...]]></content:encoded>

Put some artwork on it, and you can add character and details to any place in the house.There are many ideas on how to creatively decorate your walls. Here are some of them.. PicturesThis is a traditional but time-tested way of decorating. Simply hang framed photos on the wall. Photos can be anything-family members and loved ones, memorable places where you went, or themed and carefully composed pictures of a certain subject. It is best if these pictures were blown up, or enlarged. It would probably be good if you keep the frame uniform; if you used a gold-leaf frame on a certain picture, all other pictures should use the same frame. Doing this effectively omits a look of chaos.. PaintingsThis is another classical decoration. You can do either of two things: hang a large painting, or hang smaller multiple paintings. The two main criteria for selecting paintings are size and color. The pai...]]></content:encoded>
