Hamid Hamidi is not a Baha'i and has no affiliation with the Baha'i community. Like so many enlightened Iranians, Mr. Hamidi has come to recognize the wrongs, harms and injuries perpetrated against the Baha'is over the last 160 years by a fanatical and degenerate Iranian society. Now, like so many other Iranians, he's raising his informed voice in support of the Baha'is. Earlier today, I shared a note on translation of another article by Mr. Hamidi posted on Iran Press Watch. He's the sort of Iranian that makes us proud. Incidentally, a translation of his latest article (cited by Iskandar) will appear on IPW soon. -- Ahang Rabbani, PhD http://ahang.rabbani.googlepages.com/ http://iranpresswatch.org/ __________________________________________________ You are subscribed to Baha'i Studies as: mailto:arch...@mail-archive.com Unsubscribe: send a blank email to mailto:leave-418826-274...@list.jccc.edu Subscribe: send subscribe bahai-st in the message body to ly...@list.jccc.edu Or subscribe: http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/all_forums/subscribe?name=bahai-st Baha'i Studies is available through the following: Mail - mailto:bahai-st@list.jccc.edu Web - http://list.jccc.edu:8080/read/?forum=bahai-st News (on-campus only) - news://list.jccc.edu/bahai-st Old Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai...@list.jccc.net New Public - http://www.mail-archive.com/bahai-st@list.jccc.edu
