Persian Body Art - Cultural Self-Expression
As the fad of tattooing has grown largely in Western culture and throughout the
world so has Persian Body Art. Over the course of the last decade, one ethnicity
has taken the opportunity to express themselves beyond the generic tribal or
Celtic designs found around the arms of young men and women and
celebrities alike. Iranians (historically known as Persians) have also been in
this growing mainstream phenomena of body art and tattooing. However, a
significant difference lies in the way Iranians have decided to express
themselves.

Vali Nasr: Trying to Make Sense of it All
There is no greater concern in US foreign policy today than
managing relations with the Muslim world, and understanding the
role Islam plays in politics. From the global war on terror, and the

politics continue to dominate foreign policy discussions. To
understand Islam's complex relations to politics and to make
sense of where developments in the Muslim world fit in US foreign
policy, there is no better person to turn to than Vali Nasr, who also
serves as Secretary of State Clinton's Mid-East advisor.

Jewish Celebration of PURIM and deliverance in the Persian Empire
Purim (Hebrew) is a festival that commemorates the
deliverance of the Jewish people of the ancient Persian Empire
from Haman's plot to annihilate them, as recorded in the
Biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Esther). According to the story,
Haman cast lots to determine the day upon which to
exterminate the Jews. Purim is celebrated annually according
to the Hebrew calendar on the 14th day of the Hebrew month of
Adar (Adar II in leap years), the day following the victory of the
Jews over their enemies; as with all Jewish holidays, Purim
begins at sundown on the previous secular day.
