smije li se citat rušdi u metrou?

Ne bih ti znao reci, ali cisto sumnjam da pored svoje prebogate literature neko zeli citati Rusdija, koji je, iskreno, dobro ispod prosjeka svjetskog literarnog stvaralastva.

[_drunken_santa_]

ne zna pisat i opet fasovo fetvu. sta bi da zna?

[salik79]

Da zna pisati, kao sto zna pljuvati po islamu i Poslaniku s.a.v.a, nikada ne bi "fasovao fetvu". Ali njemu je to pljuvanje i pomoglo da postane "slavan" i "popularan". Drugacije nikada niko ne bi cuo za njega.

[salik79]

Santa, pitanje za tebe, kao poklonika literarnog stvaralastva Salmana Rusdija - koja nam njegova djela preporucujes za citanje? Sta te je najvise dojmilo? Ja se nisam nesto bavio njegovim stvaralastvom, ali jeste moj otac, koji kao penzioner u slobodno vrijeme cita, te mi rece da osim zanimljivog (ali upitnog) opisivanja zivota i kulture u njegovoj rodnoj Indiji, nije uspio pronaci nista sto bi ga impresioniralo, po cemu bi pamtio njegova djela. Sta bi nam ti - bas onako - preporucio, te ako moze koji citat, bio bih ti zahvalan.

[_drunken_santa_]

jesam li ja rekao da sam fan rusdija? nije valjda da iranci likvidiraju lose pisce kao saudijci lose pjesnike samo jer ne znaju pisati?

mislim, meni se ne sviđaju hemon i pablo kueljo, al nisam za to da se objese.

Po cemu si ti zakljucio da sam ja da se neko objesi ako je los pisac?! Zasto bi bilo ko bio za to? Lose pisce jednostavno ne citam. Inace, u Iranu si slobodan citati bilo cija djela. Imaju izuzetno bogat bibliotekarski fond. Cak i u Komu, Univerzitetskom centru siitske pravne skole, u univerzitetskoj biblioteci, mozes pronaci djela najistaknutijih i najradikalnijih vehabijskih "ucenjaka", te ih slobodno posuditi i izucavati u javnosti, bez ikakvih problema. Cak si slobodan sa profesorima diskutovati na tu temu, bez ikakvih negativnih konotacija.

ti rece da je salman rusdi los pisac, kao da je to poenta. poenta je da je neko osuđen na smrt zbog djela fikcije.

ili se u iranu mogu naci i citati u biblioteci salmana rusdija? cudno s obzirom da je iz irana odaslata fetva.

[salik79]

I, umalo da zaboravim, slozit cu se za Koelja - dugo sta gluplje i dosadnije od njegovog "Alhemicara" nisam procitao. I to je jedan od dokaza sta mediji i propaganda mogu napraviti.

Ti dobro znas na sta se fetva odnosila, sano se malo pravis lud. Nemam pojma za dostupnost Rusdijevih djela u Iranu. Iskreno receno, ne zanimaju me.

Ne, njega je slobodarski Zapad (agresivnom medijskom kampanjom) poceo isticati kao aman-zaman pisca, a njegovo djelo "Satanski stihovi", koji vrijedjaju najdublja osjecanja muslimana, kao aman-zaman djelo. Kako bi, inace, uopce iko saznao za njega, a kamoli za njegova djela? Iranci ne likvidiraju pisce, niti se bave losim piscima. Fetva je, ionako, dokinuta.

Usput, da li se u tel-avivskom javnom gradskom prijevozu smije citati Mein Kampf?

Rouhani orders dispatch of Women’s Futsal Team to World Cup



Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani in a special directive on Saturday has ordered the dispatch of Iranian Women’s National Futsal Team to 2015 Futsal World Cup in Guatemala.

The order comes after an earlier statement by Iran’s Football Federation saying that the Iranian Women’s team may be unable to compete in the 2015 Futsal World Cup due to financial problems and visa complications.

Iranian sports media reported earlier that Asia’s top team will unfortunately not be competing in the World Cup due to “the lack of adequate and timely administrative coordination”.

The head of the Iran’s Football Federation Ali Kafashian said last week that Guatemala does not have a consulate in Iran, and the team would have to get visas to go to Germany, where they could apply for the Guatemalan visas.

He said their efforts to minimize the process and secure the funds for the trips have unfortunately failed, and the team will not be able to participate in the world tournament.

The women’s team did not take part in the futsal cup games hosted by Colombia for similar reasons.

In September this year, Iranian women’s national futsal team beat Japan 1-0 to win the AFC Women’s Futsal Championship in Malaysia.

Tochal Ski International Resort opened (21.11.2015)

The Tochal International Ski Resort in northern Tehran opened on Thursday for the autumn-winter season at a ceremony attended by Mahmoud Goudarzi, minister of youth affairs and sports, and other officials.

Managing director of the resort Seyed Mohammad Parhizkar said there are plans to expand the resort so that “it turns into Iran’s biggest and longest ski resort by next year,” reports Mehr News Agency.

A popular entertainment section at the Tochal Complex is the Tochal Telecabin which is among the world’s longest gondola lift lines with a length of 7,500 meters. It takes less than an hour to go from Station 1 to 7, the last station, by cable car. The first station includes a hotel, restaurants and sports clubs for tennis, archery, bungee jumping, skating and paintball.

The gondola lift is used for accessing ski slopes and recreational centers on the resort mountain. Beautiful landscapes, fresh air and a multitude of fresh water springs add to the beauty of the area.

There is a separate chairlift and a separate surface lift (teleski) line at the resort, for transferring skiers to the mountain slopes.

The resort is open to the public since 1978. It starts at the Velenjak valley in the north of Tehran at an altitude of 1,900 meters and ends at the last station at an altitude of 3,740 meters, near the main ridge of Mount Tochal. The main peak is a 30-minute walk from the last station.

Because of the height of the ski slope in Station 7 (more than 3,500 meters above sea level), it is covered with snow for more than 8 months of the year.

Iran: Best Skiing Opportunity in the Middle East

Iran becomes Turkey’s new rival in tourism, Turkish newspaper reports
on November 24, 2015



In an article released on Tuesday, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet has named Iran as Turkey’s new rival in Tourism in the region.

In this article we read:

“Turkey has been growing in tourism at two-digit figures every year for the past 25 years, but it is expected to complete 2015 with $5 billion in losses because of the Syrian crisis and economic fluctuations in Russia.

According to experts, if you also add the hottest topic in the world, terror, into the equation, then question marks about tourism in 2016 are increasing. As a matter of fact, in the security section of the Tourism Competition Index of the World Economic Forum, Turkey ranks 121 among 142 countries.

While tourism executives are trying to reach new markets like China, India and South Africa, it also appears that Turkey will have to compete with a new rival in the region.

That new rival is Iran, which is in the process of normalization with the West.

The CEO of the Ekin Group, Fehmi Köfteoğlu, said they would especially focus on Iran in a report they will submit to the tourism congress.

Iran was also the star of the World Travel Fair in London held at the beginning of November, he said. “Iran’s stand at the fair was five to six times bigger when compared to past years.”

There is a special section dedicated to Iran in the global trends in tourism report prepared by the World Travel Market and Euromonitor International.

Along with the historic and cultural heritage accumulated through the centuries, Iran is expected to become an important destination in faith tourism as well as adventure tourism thanks to its 20 ski centers. However, because of its years of isolation and sanctions, its infrastructure has long been neglected.

But Köfteoğlu said tourism investments would pour into Iran as the country becomes a favorite of foreign travel agencies. As part of new steps taken for tourism, the Iranian government has introduced a visa-on-arrival system for foreigners such as Germans, French and Russians. “
