Movie Review "September of Shiraz."

 Movie Review "September of Shiraz."

Introduction:

In 2007, Ms. Dalia Sofer published the novel "The September of Shiraz." In 2015, Wayne Blair directed a movie based on the story of Ms. Sofer's "The September of Shiraz."

Historical Background:

It is important to give a background to this movie; it enables the movie watchers to understand the story of this movie in a better light. 

Jewish people are part of the Iranian community. The story of Jewish people goes back to Cyrus the Great when God told Cyrus the Great in his vision to go to Babylon to liberate Jewish people. Cyrus the Great freed the Jewish people and provided the Jewish people with financial resources to build the Temple in Jerusalem. 

Xerxes the Great married Esther, who was a Jewish person. Esther told Xeres the Great about the diabolical plan of Haman, who was the King's chief adviser. When Xerxes the Great became aware of Haman's sinister plan, the King issued a death sentence to Haman. 

In the contemporary history of Iran, Reza Shah Pahlavi the Great protected Iranian-Jewish and did not allow any harm. Also, in 1937, Abdol Hossein Sardari was an Iranian diplmat in Paris. When he became aware of the full nature of Nazi ambitions, he began issuing hundreds of Iranian passports for non-Iranian Jews to save them from persecution. To safeguard his plan, he did not ask for permission and felt that he had the implied support of Iranian leadership. His actions were later confirmed and applauded by the government of Iran.

During Pahlavi Dynasty and Iranian Jewish

When the Pahlavi Dynasty governed Iran, each person's faith had no reflection of the person. The Jewish people in Iran were loyal to Iran and never took any action to undermind the sovereignty of Iran. They were the pioneer of the modern economy of Iran. For example, Habib Elghanian contributed to the economic growth of Iran.

The Movie:

Introduction:

The opening scene of the movie goes back to August 1979, and Iran is going through the mayhem. Nothing is stable; everything is upside down. Isaac Amin is a having a jewelry store and is not involved in politics. His wife Farnaz is a housewife. 

Class Conflict:

During the 1979 Revolution in Iran, Marxist factions allied with the Islamist faction and called their political ideology Marxist-Islamist. They believed the affluent family escape the cycle of poverty at the expense of proletarians. The issue of class conflict emerged during the plot of the movie when the housekeeper began to talk with Farnaz and accused her of preventing her from having a life-chance (Max Weber terminology). Farnaz illustrated to her that she and her son escaped the cycle of poverty. 

In 1963, Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi abolished the feudal system and implemented the welfare-liberal political economy in Iran. This system allowed Iranians to escape the cycle of poverty, and the class conflict became less relevant. However, the clerics and the left-wing factions push on the agenda of class conflict spearheaded. 

The revolutionary forces formed kangaroo courts and began to apprehend people without legal merit. The revolutionary forces also arrested Mr. Amin. Mr. Amin's family did not know where he was and what he was doing. The captors tortured him physically and psychologically. Mr. Amin bribed his captor Mohsen with his life-saving. Mohsen accepted the bribe and allowed Amin to leave the prison.

When Amin left the prison, he went to his jewellery store and saw his store is empty. He had a safe spot to hide several diamonds. Amin opened the safe place and took the diamonds out. When he was leaving the building, he saw the housekeeper's son Morteza at the entrance of the building. Morteza demanded the diamond. Amin was not going to give his diamonds to him. Morteza began to blackmail Amin by showing a recommendation letter from Her Imperial Majesty Farah Pahlavi to Amin. The recommendation letter carried a death sentence. Amin convinced Morteza that his case against Amin had no legal consequences. Amin went to his home and reunited with his daughter and wife. 

They talked with one smuggler who arranged for them to escape Iran. 

Applying Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to Iranians

 Poverty is widespread in Iran. The suicide rate is on the rise, with no interest to decline in Iran. Children commit suicide, too, because they see their parents cannot afford the necessities of life. After all, the mullahs in Iran are stealing Iran's natural resources and asking China to extract Iran's natural resources to have financial resources to buy guns and bullets from Russia to wage war in the region. The remaining cash in the mullahs' hands transferred to the US, Canada, and European Nations to do money-laundry. 

The bottom line, there is darkness in people's life in Iran. Iranians do not see the light of hope or ray of joy in their life what they experience daily, hopelessness. 

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is an excellent measurement to illustrate the pain and suffering Iranians face at the hands of mullahs in Iran. 

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a triangle; it divides into five categories: physiological needs, safety needs, belongingness and love needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. 

Physiological needs:

The Physiological needs are food, water, warmth and rest. 

On February 08^th, 2020, The Borgen Project reported that:

"Economic Downshift: According to the Iranian Parliament's Research Center, between 23 to 40 percent of Iran's population will be living in absolute poverty soon. This is due to an increase in unemployment, inflation and a downward trend in economic growth. The Research Center's report shows that the inflation rate has risen to 47 percent from 2018 to 2019 and estimates that 57 million more Iranians will fall into poverty over 2020"¹ from the population of 80 million. 

"Sanctions and Corruption: Iran's banking and oil sectors are its backbone, but U.S. sanctions have greatly affected these sectors, causing an economic crisis in Iran. Many Iranian's have fallen victim to panic-buying due to fear of price increases. Internal corruption has led to an occasional scarcity of goods due to merchants and entrepreneurs hoarding goods to increase prices."²

Therefore, the theocratic regime in Iran is not providing physiological needs to Iranians. Today, Iranians cannot afford house rents, and they are sleeping in empty graves of the cemeteries.³ The mullahs in Iran, with their vengeance in their hearts to destroy Israel and child-like thinking that the mullahs will control the world one day, the mullahs allocated funds toward destruction and ignored the welfare of Iranians. Iranians force to sleep on the rooftops of someone.⁴

Safety needs:

This section covers the issues of security and safety. Iranians are not allowed to exercise freedom of speech. Suppose a person is expressing their ideas contrary to the mullahs' domestic or foreign policies. In that case, the mullahs' security apparatus will apprehend the person and falsely accuse the person of collaborating with foreign nations for fomenting a revolution in Iran. 

In November 2019, Iranians came to the street to have a peaceful assembly to express their low living standard frustrations to the mullahs. The security forces used deadly forces against the peaceful assembly participants. The mullahs killed over 1500 individuals to silent the voice of justice in Iran.

Belongingness and love needs:

Intimate relationship, friends

The mullahs are having monopoly control over physical intimacy. The mullahs in Iran do not allow adults to have consensual physical intimacy unless they pay a fee to a mullah to give a couple permission to have physical intimacy. It is called Sigeh.

It is difficult for Iranians to trust one another because the mullahs encourage people to report one another to the system.

Esteem needs:

Prestige and feeling accomplishment

The mullahs are controlling Iran's economy. Iranians are not part of the inner circle of mullahs' security; Iranians deprive of accomplishment. Max Weber defines prestige as a means of owning property. Iranians cannot own anything. Currently, the mullahs children are known as Rich Kids of Tehran; they enjoy a luxurious lifestyle outside of Iran and Iran.

Self-actualization:

Achieving one's full potential, including creative activities

Iranians cannot move from stage one to stage two. How can they do reach self-actualization?

Therefore, Iranians are not having economic prosperity. Iranians have sadness and hopelessness in their life. Emile Durkheim's theory about suicide stems from a lack of solidarity. Iranians are not having hope for a better future. Plus, Iranians cannot get close to one another as they are afraid of one another because the mullahs are killing them as enemies of the state.

Say No to Ayatollah, Say Yes to AyatoSatan

 

Muhammad was born 570 CE and died on June 08th, 632 CE at age 0f 61 or 61 years old. "Muhammad's early years prior to becoming a prophet at the age of forty in 610 C.E...serves both as God's human instrument in bearing His revelation and as the model or ideal all believers should emulate."¹

Muhammad's faith of "Islam, the second largest of the world's religion, is indeed a world presence and force."² "Islam stands in a long line of Semitic, prophetic religious tradition that shares an uncompromising monotheism, and belief in God's revelation, His prophets, ethical; responsibility and accountability, and the Day of Judgment. Indeed, Muslims, like Christian and Jews, are Children of Abraham."³

Muhammad's faith, Islam, means submission to the will of Allah. Muslim means a person who is submitting to the will of Allah. The religion of Islam does not give a choice to its followers. 

According to his follower, Muhammad was a prophet who had a message to people to warn others about the coming of the Judgment Day "O men, I am only for you a warner. Those who believe and do deeds of righteousness-theirs shall be forgiveness and generous provision. And those who strive against Our signs to avid them-they shall be inhabitants of Hell. (Quran 22:49-50)" Page 9

Prophet Muhammad did not use any title for himself and was buried in a modest grave. However, the religious figures in Iran are giving themselves the title of Ayatollah, which is blasphemy, and people must not associate anything with Allah.

Islam has five pillars, "The pillars are practices, which is to say that they are described and defined in terms of activity."⁴ The first pillar of Islam is about the unity of God; it is called Shahadat, which his followers cannot violate Shahadat under any circumstances. When a Muslim person is dying, s/he must recite the Shahadat before closing her/his eyes to eternity. It is the last rite of a Muslim person. The Shahadat confirms, "There is no god, but God and Muhammad is God's messenger."⁵

The mullahs in Iran are giving themselves the title of Ayatollah. It means Sign of God. Are the mullahs Sign of God? Are they doing anything divine for Iran and Iranians?

The theocratic regime in Iran came to power in 1979 by using Machiavellian skills of fear, fraud and force. It is far from being divine. The regime's domestic and foreign policies have a direct connection to Satanic principles such as:

1. People will stop offering prayers

2. Dishonesty will be the way of life

3. Falsehood will prevail

4. Blood of innocents would be shed

5. The oppressed will be proud of their actions

6. The rulers will be corrupt and fools

7. Widespread Adultery.

8. Sins will be committed openly

9. False testimony will be accepted

In conclusion, the mullahs associate themselves with God and demand the public to be called Ayatollah. Their domestic and foreign policies are promoting evil acts in Iran and outside of Iran. The mullahs are not worshiping God; they are worshiping Satan. People must call them AyatoSatan, the Sign of Satan.

When Cain killed his brother Able, God put a mark on Cain so he cannot hide; what is so impressive that the mullahs in Iran have spots on their foreheads. The mullahs have marks on their foreheads to deceive the public that they are continually praying to God. However, it is the Cain mark on their foreheads because for the mullahs to kill innocent individuals are committed willingly without fear of God.

The US Is Working With Mullahs in Iran

The US is working with the mullahs in Iran is no longer a figment of the imagination. It is a concrete fact that cannot be denied any longer. Just take actor Shahab Hosseini as a prime example, an ultra-conservative follower of Sign of Allah (Ayatollah) Ali Khameini. Shahab Hosseini moved to the Great Satan; the proper name is the United States of America; he plays the lead role in Ali Javan's up-coming movie. 

Mr. Khameini issued a religious decree that no one is allowed to use the Pfizer vaccine. However, Shahab Hosseini is using the Pfizer vaccine in the US.

Therefore, Shahab Hosseini is living in the US. It is the same country that he chanted "Death to America." The US knows who Shahab Hosseini is. The US is doing elite accommodation for him and other actors from theocratic regime's inner circle. Otherwise, no one can go to the US without prior approval from the US immigration administration. 

One fact matters the most that the current policy stipulates only elderly individuals are allowed to be vaccinated, or staff are working in hospitals, long-term care facilities, police officers and paramedics. Shahab Hosseini is not any role in the above occupation that are mentioned. 

Khomeini Besmirched the King for Westernization

In August 1941, England and Soviet Union armies invaded Iran under the pretext that King of Kings Reza Pahlavi collaborated with Nazi Germany. Despite the fact, Iran declared itself a neutral state and did not want to participate in World War II. Most importantly, the King did not collaborate with Nazi Germany, and He saved the European Jewish people jaw of death.

Daughter of "Fatemeh Haddad Adel," niece of "Gholam Ali Haddad Adel," and cousin of "Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei."

On September 16th, 1941, King Reza Pahlavi descended from the Peacock Throne, and His son Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ascended to the Peacock Throne. 

Reza Shah Pahlavi and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi had the policy of modernizing Iran. The domestic policy of modernizing Iran did not go so well with the mullahs in Iran. The mullahs wanted Iranians to live in the dark ages to control the masses. The King's modernity policy was to revive Iran to the golden age of Cyrus the Great.

Khomeini Hindi had a platitude platform to besmirch Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi for the Westernization of Iran what Khomeini was trying to say that the King astray from Islam's faith.  

In 1979, US President Jimmy Carter, British Broadcasting Corporation, France and Germany installed Khomeini in power in Iran.  

Khomeini implemented Islamic laws in Iran, and everyone must observe the Islamic laws. Anyone found in violation of Islamic laws they are guilty of waging war against Allah. The convicted person faces punishment such as death, stoning to death, lashing, torture, and many other punishment forms are cruel and unusual practices by the mullahs in Iran. However, some individuals have the law's immunity and not to face any punishment. They are the inner circle of the mullah's gang members. They steal money from public funds and enjoy a luxurious lifestyle inside of Iran and outside of Iran. They even pose nude pictures of themselves, and nothing happens to them. 

Some Iranian women are bodybuilders and cannot compete in the body-building competition because the Islam laws prohibit women from showing her body. 

In conclusion, the Western powers like England, the US, Germany, and France did not like the Pahlavi dynasty because the Pahlavi dynasty was moving Iran toward modernity. The Western power installed Khomeini in Iran to move Iran backward. It cultivated an atmosphere of mullah privilege that they did not spread corruption on earth or waging war against Allah. They had a normal lifestyle at taxpayers' expense.

Saying No to Mullah's Nuclear Program

 When a person is going to a financial institute and asks for a loan or a credit, the lender checks the borrower's credit rate. The credit rate is a reflection of the borrower's past financial performance. The past financial performance illustrates how the borrower committed to promptly repaying her/his debt to the financial institute.

Applying the above financial strategy to political science provides an excellent indication of where the mullahs in Iran are leading the nuclear program. This paper aims to briefly discuss how the mullahs used deceptive methods to deteriorate the relationship between the King and His people and how the mullahs in Iran used the economy to harbour terrorism worldwide. Thus, the mullah's nuclear program is posing a danger to global safety and security. The mullah in Iran must not have a nuclear program for the protection and security of other nations.

In 1978, Khomeini Hindi used British Broadcasting Corporation to deceive Iranians by saying that Imperial Iranian Armed Forces were safe and secure; they did not want to worry about anything.  Khomeini advocated the political ideology of Marxist-Islamist and asked the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces, "do not you want to be your master?" Khomeini promoted the rankless army.

Khomeini wanted to have a classless society, and his followers wrote slogans on the building walls, "equality, and brotherly love and relief." 

Khomeini promised a utopian society that everyone enjoyed a free ride society.  Everyone would have a house and did not have to pay for electricity, water, and free bus rides. 

Khomeini told Iranians that women did not have to wear headscarves. It was a matter of personal choice. 

Khomeini promised that he would not involve himself in politics. He also criticized the King for playing a leadership role in Iran's politics due to his age.

In 1979, Khomeini Hindi arrived in Iran. He opened his butcher shops and began to execute the Imperial Iranian Armed Forces members and secret agents in the absence of due process. 

Khomeini's followers began to walk around cities and towns and attacked anyone who did not have headscarves. Women who were judges, they lost their jobs because Islam said women could not become a judge. As time passed by, women's social status declined in Iran.

Khomeini held on to power by eradicating those political factions like the left-wing factions by killing them behind bars. Khomeini even did not show mercy to nationalists and the religious individuals that they wanted peace for Iranians.

Khomeini explicitly said that the economy was for the donkey, and only Islam answered all Iranians' problems.

Khomeini formed Hizbullah Party and banned any political party. The Hizbullah Party had a militant nature and began to operate outside of Iran to cause terror on other nations.

Khomeini's followers began to escalate the conflict globally by deploying assassins worldwide to eliminate targets and put people's lives in danger.  Khomeini's followers have a belligerent attitude toward western nations, which could not be denied.  The followers painted murals on the building walls like "Death to America," "Death to Israel," and every Friday pray, Ali Khameini and Hashemi Rafsanjani talked about killing westerns so Allah would give the assassins to enter in Allah's kingdom.

This section of the paper explores how Khomeini's Hizbullah Party began to undermine global security.   The Hizbullah Party started to explode bombs in Saudi Arabia. Now the Iran regime is in a proxy war with Saudi Arabia; the battleground is in Yemen.

The regime in Iran had a long history of terrorist activities in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. There was not one isolated incident that could be ignored. The mullah in Iran had a capstone foreign policy of wiping Israel from the map. Wiping Israel from the map meant that the mullah wanted to have another Holocaust.  Is genocide legal? Why are the world leaders so silent about the diabolical plan of the mullah's intent to commit genocide?

In conclusion, the realistic question emerged on the surface: Why is the US so eager for Iran's mullah regime to have nuclear capability? The US is allowing the mullah regime to have the atomic ability. The regime in Iran had a long history of terrorism. The US is allowing the mullah to have nuclear power to cause more unrest in the world. As long as the US is a willing participant with the mullah regime in Iran to have nuclear capability, the world is becoming unsafe for every nation globally and finishing this paper with one recent fact. In January 2020, the Revolutionary Guard Corps intentionally brought down PS 752, a civilian airplane with two surfaces to air missiles to avoid conflict with the US. When the mullahs do not have mercy for Iranians, why should anyone think the mullahs will show mercy to others when the clerics will have nuclear power?

Why I am Against economic sanctions

 

Psalm 37 and Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi

 Declassified information revealed Jack Anderson had malicious intent against Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi to topple the Pahlavi dynasty and used a strong word against Iran’s King.

Mr. Anderson says, “Shah of Iran Culprit in High Oil Prices.” Like Mr. Anderson and like-minded individuals like him, like the US President Mr. Jimmy Carter, wanted the King of Iran to relinquish Iran’s sovereignty and hand over Iran’s natural resources to the USA. The King was not going to hand over Iran’s natural resources to the USA. The US knew Iranians loved the King. However, the power of propaganda was more potent than the power of the love of the King. The western cartel media launched a massive campaign against the Pahlavi dynasty. The King was an evil person who was plundering Iran’s wealth, and Iran’s secret service was killing people behind closed doors. The western cartel media did not have a shortage of lies.

The western academic institutes began to rubber stamp Ph.D. to Iranian students studying in their educational institutes, so these students would have something to show to ordinary people to argue with the Kings’ contribution to Iran’s progress and modernity. These students wanted the King to stop Iran’s progress toward modernity. These students also did not have a shortage of fabricating western propaganda.

The western media and students shouted out loud that the King was the worst possible in history. Eventually, the US-installed Khomeini in power in Iran. The King left Iran with tears in his eyes.

Khomeini established its outlaw system. It was a system of plundering Iran’s wealth as quickly as possible. The western powers provided elite accommodation to the clerics and their outlaw gang members. The power of the west did not like the King because the King did not offer elite accommodation. The King maintain the national sovereignty of Iran.

I was reading the Holy Bible Psalm 37 and saw how the Holy Bible is talking to Iranians.

Psalm 37

Of David.

1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
    or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
    like green plants they will soon die away.

3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

7 Be still before the Lord
    and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.

8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
    do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
    but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.

12 The wicked plot against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.

14 The wicked draw the sword
    and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
    to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
    and their bows will be broken.

16 Better the little that the righteous have
    than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
    but the Lord upholds the righteous.

18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,
    and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20 But the wicked will perish:
    Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
    they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses will be destroyed.

23 The Lord makes firm the steps
    of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
    for the Lord upholds him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
    or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
    their children will be a blessing.[b]

27 Turn from evil and do good;
    then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the Lord loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
    the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29 The righteous will inherit the land
    and dwell in it forever.

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
    and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
    their feet do not slip.

32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
    intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
    or let them be condemned when brought to trial.

34 Hope in the Lord
    and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
    when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
    flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
    though I looked for him, he could not be found.

37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
    a future awaits those who seek peace.[d]
38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
    there will be no future[e] for the wicked.

39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;
    he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
    because they take refuge in him.
