You can see me on the More4 TV programme, The Last Word, with Mathew Parris, journalist and author, and Johann Hari, columnist for the Independent, discussing whether Iran should be bombed (of course not!) and the monarchy with host David Starkey on http://www.maryamnamazie.com/audvid/last%20talk%20internet%20file.wmv. It was broadcast on April 19.

Also see my discussion with Stephen Green of Christian Voice (yikes!) and Paul Woolley from Theos on the BBC TV Heaven and Earth programme http://www.maryamnamazie.com/audvid/heaven%20and%20earth%20maryam%20namazie%20april%202006.wmv. It was broadcast on March 26.

Hey, the above poster, YOU are IGNORANT!!!! You have no right to criticize anyone else's religion/faith just as no one should say anything to you when you have NO faith! I hope one day you realize there's a greater being who has created you. No matter what the religion, it helps people have faith that not everything is in one's hands and gives you hope that someone's watching over you!

ALLAH THE METEORITEOne line of attack on Islam which doesn't seem to have been followed up in the blogosphere concerns the existence of Allah. Some atheists have tried to prove that Allah doesn't exist, but it may be far more damaging to Islam to demonstrate that Allah does indeed exist and to show where 'he' resides and what 'he' is.Christians and Jews believe that G_d is transcendent and omnipresent, she is not located in any particular place and indeed both transcends and permeates the physical structure of the universe.In total contrast, Muslims are obsessively concerned with directing their prayers towards one particular location on planet earth, and line up their prayer mats and build their mosques pointing within a fraction of a degree towards Mecca. Muslim astronauts get particularly confused when in orbit because their god resides on earth - the majesty of the cosmos is lost on them. They believe that if you don't aim your prayers accurately at Mecca they won't have any effect. Very strange!So we must conclude that Allah lives somewhere in Mecca. The entire city, including hotels, car parks, public lavatories, electricity substations etc cannot be equally and universally holy. So what is the object of this idolatrous worship?The structure that every Muslim bows down to five times a day is Allah's house - the Kaaba.And yes, inside it you will find Allah himself, who does indeed exist, and is none other than - a meteorite! Allah is a chunk of space junk.

Unfortunately secularism in Iran was associated with The Shah. That doesn't matter to the young, who'll be the vanguard of the revolution.
