Ârash e Kamângîr (Arash the Archer) story:
At the end of war between Iran and Turan, Turan has advanced to near Damâvand mountain area. Turan wanted to destroy the Iranians' spirit, so they ordered Iranian to shoot an arrow towards Turan. Wherever the arrow lands, that would be the new border between the two countries. An Iranian super hero, Arash by name, volunteered to shoot the arrow. The location: peak of the Damâvand (Iran's highest mountain, 30 kilometer northeast of Tehrân, the Irânian capital; height 5671 meter). On the bright morning of Tîrgân, Arash stripped naked, faced north, strained his bow as never before, let the arrow fly and exhausted, turned into energy and ride with the arrow. The arrow flew the entire morning and fell at noon -- 2250 kilometer on the bank of the Oxus River in what is now Central Asia. And the river remained the boundary between Iran and Turan for centuries until Mongoloid hordes poured in to push the Iranians southward in the 10th century A.D.
Arash body was never Found. There are still stories from travelers who were lost in the mountain, that how they heard Arash Kamangir voice. And the voice helped them find the road and saved their lives.


wow! :O

I didnt actually know about that, looked it up on google, found that. thought it mite be usefull to post :D

Hehe, it more fantasy than reality, but its a cool story. He was probably a real person. But the arrow going for hours is probably not true.

yeh man, most myths have an element of truth behind them :D

all our great modern Iranian heroes, God Bless them!

Hey, is it compulsory for every male to undergo two years of army training in Iran once they graduate from school?
I remember my Iranian cousin had to do it.
Does Iran have a formal army or is it like everybody is on reserve?

if those women were real "soldiers" then they wudnt be taking this crap and wud remove their veils...like i did! :D

i dont think this is what panj had in mind when he created this thread :sleepy:

Yes, exemption for medicle and personal reasons are accepted. if you are at uni u are exempt until you finish your degree.

Also Iran has a formal army :)

that's exactly what i think all the women should do. A few hundred Iranian women should secrelty organize a protest, and then they all show up and take of their hijabs. More ppl will follow and they will be forced to change the law.

The government is already relaxed on the current "hijab" so if a few thousand ppl showed up without one, i don't think they'll do much.

Yes, but then as we know since previously some people have the habit deviating from the subject of threads and politicizing them with purpose...

Shugs:

You are right. This is NOT what I wanted this thread to be.

Gilgamesh:

Why did you remove my pictures of (1) Rostam (2) Nader Shah and (3) Reza Shah??? Those people are soldiers, if anyone ever was!

Shayan:

Those people in the picture are TRULY soldiers. Great post.

Gole hayaho:

A soldier should not take off her viel and let the enemy brutally hit or kill her. Those are true soliders and will hit the damn animals that hit the women for taking of their veil in a short and right time.

i did....and i lived.. :D

as ive always said...sacrifice for the greater good.

i TOTALLY agree! xxx

I agree. These protestors are being treated very good (http://www.amnestyusa.org/news/document.do?id=ENGMDE130242006) as it is, let's demand them to strip down so they'll get even better treatment. :p

You were lucky and u know it! :tongue2:

but the thing is....not a lot of women have the courage to do such a thing... and if they do start a protest and women do come and join...at one time or another it will be stopped...
