Ahh. The beauty of stained glasses

There's something so incredibly fascinating about this whole eastern atmosphere. The tile pattern on the floor, the window, the old wall...and a student who's studying just like millions of her kind all over the world:) There is a quiet charm in this one.

Yes they are, BUT after they graduate as eg a chemical engineer, there are no jobs for them. The reason why so many are students is not to get jobs it's so they can have a little more freedom.

Awesome!

They’re all really pretty.....

I was never allowed to do sports or skipping in the house.

would be nice to have a whole series of this type of street/home portraits

I love the composition and colours of this one !

For some reason I really love her expression. Reminds me a little of myself when I was 6-7

I will do all possible to get to see this in person!

Hehe, not even people in Iran can resist nike

It just goes to show that the qoute "Facism is cured by reading, Racism is cured by traveling" (Miguel de Unamuno) is ever so true. Media can only show so much of a culture, and most of the news we here is negative in the first place with the news almost explicitily (Obviously there are exceptions) tragedies, murders, raps, mass shootings & heart wrench/breaking stories. To summarize what I mean. If you truly wish to have a non-bias opinion about something, experience it yourself, with an open mind and open heart.

I read... Iranian citizens are in tents

what a beautiful carpet!

Why are men allowed to go aorund in jeans and jackets?

It is technically forbidden to prohibit women from using the mosque!! Many cultures or countries will try to find workarounds to bar women anyway, including having the women's section "under construction" continuously, or guilting women into staying behind to take care of the home, or frightening them w reminders about the dangers of men and their uncontrollable urges* (*yeah, that last bit is a bunch of bullsh**).

Why have these dummies been kept there like that?

Not only their chest but also they cut themselves with swords and other objects... What is sad is that they let their children do that too. I don't know any other culture that explicitly express their masochism like these people. And by the way. I am muslim and therefore i don't feel obliged to be politically correct. Lol.

Rather, propaganda posted by the religious "authorities," trying to dictate the private lives of Iranians. An important aspect of Islam is the "niyaat," the intention to fulfill the religious act. Doing something because you are forced to (such as covering your hair,) not because your WANT to and have the INTENTION to actually nullifies the act. You're making your society superficially _look_ religious, but you might be (probably are) creating citizens who lack respect for you and the religion you are trying to enforce.
