In 1976 before revolution, I also had similar experience with my Quran teacher. I don’t remember his name. But I vividly remember, he was a very short man. He had a very old saggy wrinkled suit that was never ironed, and never wear any ties. He always carried a thick rolled up newspaper in one of his pocket that stick out from the side of his jacket.

[ashahidi1995]

My teacher was always making fun of me, and my religion in front of other students in the classroom. When I told my father, my father make a compliant against the teacher, and the school principal did absolutely nothing about it. Next week my teacher was upset with me and made my life even more miserable in the classroom. He asks me to stand with only one foot in front of the class for entire one hour. Every time I put two feet on the floor he hit hard on my head.

[ashahidi1995]

This time my father came to the school and told the principal, that from now on my son will not attend the Quran class (Talimateh Dini), as we are not Muslim. From that day forward, I was happy playing with my fellow Christians, Armenians, Jewish, and Zoroastrians friend in the playground during Talimat Dini session.

[ashahidi1995]

In 1977, (my last year in Iran) my math teacher was a very fanatic, psychotic and crazy man. Almost every morning he was beating a student. Sometimes he was asking students to bend over, and then he was jumping and ridding kids as if they were donkey.

[ashahidi1995]

One time, he hit me so hard, that his hand mark was on my face for two weeks. Again next day my father comes to the school, shouting at the school principal and the teacher behind closed doors, while I was standing outside. My father was a very well dressed and strong man.

[ashahidi1995]

He could have easily bit the hell out of both the teacher and the principal. But when he came out, for some reason both the teacher and the principal were so polite to my father and me. I asked my father what happened! He said I hired the guy to be your private teacher. He will come and teach you every week for two hours. I could not believe what I was hearing.  I was very angry with my father, as why he hired this criminal to be my private teacher.

[ashahidi1995]

All he told was: be patient (wisdom), what! Many years later I asked my father why did you hired that guy to be my private teacher. He said for two reasons. One, your Math was really bad. Two, that was the only way to make that teacher respect you. When I look back, now I realize, my father was my real teacher. God bless my father and his soul. May he rest in peace, as he was a real gentleman, who never raised his hand on any of us.

[ashahidi1995]

Ask any Iranians, who were born in Iran; they will bear witness to all the cruelty that was perpetrated to them when they were young or old in a wrong system. Almost every one of them has been faced with some kind cruelty from some teachers (not all teachers), or some authorities. This wrong part of our culture was inherited by a cruel old generation (not our culture) and passed on to the next generation, and needs to be stopped.

[ashahidi1995]

The Bab and Baha’u’allah (from Babi and Bahai religion from Iran/ Persia) prohibit cruelty to children, wife and even animals. Unfortunately most of these words of wisdom do not apply in middle east in general. Mohatma Ghandi says: If you want to find about a country, look at how they treat their animals. That says a lot about us.

Just think about it!

[saeedireland]

I am Iranian and I had few friends who were Bahai, to be honest I found them very good people, they are very very good heart people and so kind, but i love them because of their manner and their likable behavior not their religion, I was Muslim, but i found it very wrong, i found all religion very dangerous, all religions are crap, we are all human and it is the most important part.

[pegasus2fly]

How I long to lay down my life in the Path of His Cause!!!

Who is this guy I already like him.Go free Iran

[AvazFreedom]

Dorood bar shoma ba in kare ghashang.

Every person in the world is entitled to Freedom from fear of prosecution for personal expressions, religious practice, and racial/ethnic/national identity.

Iranians need to realize their true identity before anything is to improve. That goes for every single Iranian. Re-visit your identity for just one second if you dare. You can change the world Irani.

[GlennFrancoSimmons]

Foad, great job.

[jkwalker123]

Im Zoroastrin, and Zoroastarins have it no better. EVERY Minority, Zoroastarin, Bahai, Christian, Jewish all should unite and destroy the islamic republic! May peace be upon you my brothers.

[AvazFreedom]

Payandeh bad Iran o Irani...

[gatemoos]

@jkwalker123 dont waste your efforts. They are destroying themselves. Focus on educating. Unless and Untill majority is educated on humanity, there is no hope! history will continue to repeat.

[jkwalker123]

@gatemoos indeed wise words

[aydinliq]

I respect to Bahai Faith for many reason and the major one is that: The Bahai Faith does not let the beleivers get armed against any nation or religion or believe and mostly incurage the people to have peace in the world which is great.

[TheShahinjoshani]

shut the hell up @dodge viper we baha'is respect each other and u go around dissing other ppls religion if u say something else about our religion il report u to the police.

[BahaiServant]

a bahai person should not use bad words or be abusive to anyone, even to enemies of the bahai faith. i ask bahais to please refrain from bad language. leave anyone who abuses the faith to god. don't participate in their foul language and arguments. this kind of language is not allowed and brings shame to our faith.

[gatemoos]

@BahaiServant fruits of each Faith is its teachings. People are Fallible. Dont expect to be perfect. The teachings are perfect. The wise will see the truth and the rest will wander between emotions from one extreme to another.

[IncognitoEsquire]

Unfortunetly I don't understand this song, but it is obvious its about Bahai Faith, but we in India believe in many gods; for example in a town that I grew up in we believe that bowel gas is a very good omen if it is released after consuming a goat dinner. We also believe that a powerful bowel gas if inhaled properly can take you to a altered state of conscienceness. Infact it has been proven that inhaling (goat dinner) bowel gas increases IQ. Peace.

[AvazFreedom]

Here's a shishkabab bowel gas for you...here's your chance to get smart...inhale...hold it in...keep on holding...on to your faith (in goat dinner bowel gas)

May the gas be with you!

IQ?

[IncognitoEsquire]

Dearest Siavash, I detect sarcasm in your response! Why would you insult my faith in Hindoo gods? Have your tried goat bowel gas? What about a pig bowel gas? Don't knock it until you try it. From what I've seen in your videos you look very tired and weak, this is do to constipation; may I suggest dried prunes. For a good hard stool consume as much as prunes as possible; don't worry about the stench, after several bowel movements you will be your old self again. I'm glad to be of any more help.

[jkwalker123]

@IncognitoEsquire Respect all religions you ingrate. People like you are the reason why iran is in destruction. Fuckin cunt.

[IncognitoEsquire]

@jkwalker123 Correction, Are you blaming Iran's problems on me? What have I got to do with Iran PINHEAD? I'm sure you were tought F***kin C**t in your holy religious book of Zoroastrian. You only demean yourself with your odious remarks. I have no respect for you. I believe people such as yourself should convey their opinion if he/she has something intelligent and productive to say, otherwise they should shut up and stop embarrassing themselves with nescient remarks.

[jkwalker123]

@IncognitoEsquire You go around insulting religions and your saying i have nescient remarks? No matter how intellectual you want to seem, your an idiot if you go around making fun of other religions, What has Hinduisim done to you? If you have a problem GO DEAL WITH IT. We are all on this earth, might as well tolerate people who have different beliefs from you. Im not blaming iran's problems on you, im just telling this is the EXACT mindset of iran. Being ignorant, LEARN RESPECT.

[IncognitoEsquire]

@jkwalker123 Correction, I haven't insulted any religion. I think that because of your lack of understanding of my comments you think that I'm being invidious; well your dead wrong. Yes you did blame Irans problems on me; your nescient remarks are a perfect example of a person of abderian mentality. I wonder if Ahoora Mazda will be proud. I will remain mugwump as far as judging religions. You are still a major PINHEAD/POTHEAD.

[mobin23]

@IncognitoEsquire Whats this got to do with the bahai faith?

[IncognitoEsquire]

@mobin23; I was responding to AvazFreedom's sarcastic comment. Bahai Faith has nothing to do with my responce.

[crazysoul007]

DodgeVip3r ... Whatever u say its all crap and im sure u will rot in hell ...

[DodgeVip3r]

FUCK THE ZIONIST BAHAIS

[amazingandcool]

dodgevip: dont say things about your mom ...she deserves those words for not teaching you the right from wrong. Whatever religon you have, doesnt it teach you to respect all religons? well not all religons were accepted at first. so ur just ignorant

[DodgeVip3r]

[brilliant1990]

@DodgeVip3r, man grow up and get a life stop spamming the pages it's very unbecoming, comment like that again and you will be reported.

[BahaiServant]

dear amazingandcool if you are a bahai please do not use this language. worst than enemies of the faith are those who call themselves bahais and use such language. bahai standars are much higher than this. as bahais we need to try to follow them. if someone abuse the faith, fair minded people would judge fairly. we should not get involved and abuse the person back. then, what's the difference between a bahai and such person? enemies do want to bring you down to that level.

[Awak3]

I want to learn more about the Bahai Faith but i want a legitimate source. i REALLY wanna learn about this religion and the truth of abdul baha and why so many ppl didnt like him..? the religion itself is good but it seems ppl had a problem with abdul baha sayin he was a "prophet" i wanna learn more. sum1 help? send me a msg

[gatemoos]

@Awak3 libraries, bookstores are full of books on it. Written by Bahai schollars as well as other Historians. Any great change will have enemies! Christ did too as he was crucified! So did Mohammad! If you want to know the truth, just read the teachings! And see if they are logical or if they are beneficial to all.... it is really that simple. But i doubt you are ready to to overcome your prejudices. However, one never know until he/she tries. Good luck!

[peyman25]

Foad i love ur song. its alllllll trueeeeee

listen people: Specialy you Mr, Awak3

WE ARE ALL ONE . Don't lie to urself.

[behname]

Im proud to be a Bahaiiiiii merc

[gatemoos]

@behname of course... so is every Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, etc... so what! hard to be a Baha'i in action. You have to serve humanity and expect nothing and withstand all injustice from the masses of ignorant. What have you done? There are good people in all Faith! Those who have faith! And there are millions of fools in all religions who blindly follow any nonsense to belong... Pray to understand. Spend more time reading your writings and less time here...

[9whatif]

I just can't imagine what some Baha'is are going through. I feel so helpless...

I pray for everyone who is dealing with discrimination.

[anakiban12]

leave fight for something.......fight for Unity of mankind....

[yekeshgh1]

Letter of sorrow :-((((

I share your sorrow Foad joon♥

One day we Baha'is will be FREE ......

♥Ya Baha'u'llah♥

[gatemoos]

@yekeshgh1 We are free today!!! Independent search of truth! Free to believe. Free to be ourselves ... free to love... the ones in prison of soul are those who are trying so hard to break us... for their fear of being wrong!
