"I think, therefore I am."

Rene Dwscrates was the man who is responsible for cartesian plane (or the X-y graph). he created in the early 1600s. Surprisingly, he was a philosopher (considered one of the fathers of philosophy) and used his reasoning and logic sills in mathmatics and science. on of his famouse quotes is:
"I think, therefore I am."
Canadian or Iranian!

Aslan wrote in his blog:
Iranian Version Of Islam

I ordered my favorite pizza at a small pizza place in UBC. The guy behind the counter, who is from Pakistan, got kind of confused and he double-checked my order. "So, you want Pepperoni & Ham?" he asked; I confirmed the order. I could understand his confusion; he knew that I am Muslim, just as he was.
Most Iranians don't practice Islam like Muslims from other Middle Eastern countries do. We are considered a Muslim nation; however, most of us were born Muslim, not chose to be one. We are called Muslim because our parents were called Muslim because their parents were called Muslim because... and it goes on and on. Although it doesn't seem like it; however, the people who really practice Islam are a minority in Iran. Simply compare the Iranians to the people from other Muslim nations who live abroad, you'll clearly notice that the Iranian Islam is somehow different! Iranian women don't cover their hair (In fact they lose their scarf right on the airplane which they are leaving Iran with), Iranians drink alcohol, eat Ham & Pepperoni, we don't necessarily fast during the month of Ramazan, and etc. You don't see such thing in Muslims from Arab countries; at least you don't see it at the magnitude that you do see among Iranians.
A joke has been circulating around since the early years of the Islamic revolution; I find it very true and cleverly said. It goes as following: A few years after Iran's Islamic revolution, a TV reporter is interviewing people about the difference that the revolution has made to their lives. To which a man replies: "Actually nothing much; before the revolution, we used to do our prayers inside, and drink our Vodka outside; but now we do our prayers outside, and drink our Vodka inside."

BuzzMachine

I read these two articles today in both Hoders blog and Buzzmachine.

From buzzmachines blog
The Persian bridge
: Hoder (does he need an introduction? he's the Persian blogging pioneer who has been reporting on the arrest of Iranian blogger Sina Motallebi) writes about this very blog today. It's on his Persian blog -- so I have no idea what he said -- but you can see the headline in English here: "Jeff Jarvis is trying to bridge between Iranian and American blogosphere in his BuzzMachine" or "ديالوگ بين بلاگستان ايرانی و آمريکايی "
To Hoder's many readers: Welcome!

: Thanks to Sobh in the comments, here's a translation:

He says: Jeff Jarvis is one of famous webloggers/journalists of English blogland. He's got concerned to Persian weblogs after Sina's arrest (some may say he is a spy of CIA!) and in his weblog named Buzz Machine, is making a dialog, as he says, between Persian and English blogland by pursuing English Iranian blogs. For example yesterday he made a permanent section in his weblog for links to Iranian weblogs and listed some most active ones in it. Except that, he is continually quoting from some interesting Iranian weblogs. (I wish there were more Iranian weblogs, getting updated from inside Iran.) Jarvis has launched Entertainment Weekley and some other magazines before and now is running Advance.net.
Spy? I'm sure he's just joking but it would improve my image and explain lots of mysterious behavior.
