The constituition of the Islamic Republic of Iran


Read it, could be quite an eye-opener for the condemned wretched nay-sayers and ill-wishers of Islam and muslims. Quite an intellectual arsenal here to confront the Ooons & Poons

some relevant excerpts from the Islamic Republic of Iran`s constituition:




____________________________________________________ ________
Article 12: The official religion of Iran is Islam and the Twelver Ja`fari school [in usual al-Din and fiqh], and this principle will remain eternally immutable. Other Islamic schools, including the Hanafi, Shafi`i, Maliki, Hanbali, and Zaydi, are to be accorded full respect, and their followers are free to act in accordance with their own jurisprudence in performing their religious rites. These schools enjoy official status in matters pertaining to religious education, affairs of personal status (marriage, divorce, inheritance, and wills) and related litigation in courts of law. In regions of the country where Muslims following any one of these schools of fiqh constitute the majority, local regulations, within the bounds of the jurisdiction of local councils, are to be in accordance with the respective school of fiqh, without infringing upon the rights of the followers of other schools.



Article 13: Zoroastrian, Jewish, and Christian Iranians are the only recognized religious minorities, who, within the limits of the law, are free to perform their religious rites and ceremonies, and to act according to their own canon in matters of personal affairs and religious education.




Article 14: In accordance with the sacred verse; (``God does not forbid you to deal kindly and justly with those who have not fought against you because of your religion and who have not expelled you from your homes`` [60:8]), the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and all Muslims are duty-bound to treat non-Muslims in conformity with ethical norms and the principles of Islamic justice and equity, and to respect their human rights. This principle applies to all who refrain from engaging in conspiracy or activity against Islam and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

dullay,

..... i think you got it wrong - bala was actually talking about visiting heera mandi and dying with a smile on your face ......

sorry dullah, i don't get your panjabi comments--even though i'm panjabi it is a poor third to my english and urdu :-(

Nishan e mard e momin man ba tu goyam:
Marg aayad, tabassum bar lab e oost!

explaination:
jadon mard shehar jaye, ohda nishana ay baar labay te rajj ke pee'ay.
:)
but mullahoons will never lighten up and reach to the hidden mysteries of Balay's poetry.:-)

I suppose the kanjaroons won't get it...

tariq saab, a very good read. I wish you gave more details about day to day life during those times.
as for Bala Lahori...I have heard his shairs quoted by Sikh preachers many a time...no doubt he is favorite of religious nuts of all kinds.

a very promising article which promised a lot--gave fascinating tidbits of info. --but did not deliver enough. Those days when the Ayatollah ripped the heart out of the shameless Shah and his plans --which were really US plans--for the Mid East --are a momentous chapter in world history and it'd be great to learn more from a person who was there.

Meanwhile I'd recommend Khomeini's biography by Baqer Moin: Life of the Ayatollah.

I disagree with Khomeini's creed -- I am a Sunni -- but his achievement is memorable and worth using as a template for others in similar situations. The question is, where is such a Sunni alim willing to enter politics?

Re: # 11

..... do you mean "Sex" ?? ......... astagfirullah! .. speak for yourself

It is indeed a very positive sign that CHOWK was infested with the Oooons ever since its inception and even until a couple of years ago.

AlhamduLillah, now even the use of the "S" word has gone the way of the dodo. The Ooons have been defanged & "mulla. "maulana", & "maulvi" now just cannot be used as terms of sneer & derision.

Waliking talking & eulogising Westoxicated behaviour as "glamorous" & a sign of being parRhha likhha has joined the ranks of Dinausars. Hijab DarhHee Shalwaar are truly the ones who just as they excelled in SCiences & arts & always were the top-mark getters are agin on top whether in the east or in the west.

Some remnants of the toata-mainaa system are still languishing in corporation in the kind of jobs which a fifth grader can run very efficiently. Is Maulana Sattar Edhi not running an empire so successfully without a "Management" training from the strip-teased & Pimped institutions

an impotent man always curses the woman for his inadequacies ....

Re: # 8

The criterion of judgement of what Dr Israr says is not Dr Israr's person, but whether what he says is according to Qura'n and Sunnah or not.

Re: # 7 Uncle Urstruely ..
Same Doctor Israr - is against women rule / against hudood laws.. etc..

One of the best from Dr. Israr Ahmad in todays newspaper:

Refreing to the bulldogs of west like Musharaf and proxy ruling elite in Muslim lands, who is the custodian of Western colonial interests, he writes:

"It is quite unfortunate that if on one hand American and western aggression on Muslim lands is akin to the wrath of God upon us but on the other hand the greater curse upon us is the pro-American Muslim rulers who oppress us. They are no more than puppets whose strings are pulled elsewhere. These rulers would go to any length to please their master pharoah Bush. In fact these rulers are so fervent in pleasing their master that their condition can be described in this couplet:

mera yeh haal boot ki toe chat-ta hoon maiN
unka yeh hukum daikh meray farash par na reeng


translation: (Look at me how fervently) I lick the toes of their boots.
And (look at them) they order me not to crawl on their floor.
