10 Facts About Persian Liberals – You can’t trust Liberal facts about Liberals or anything

(:E-:N-:R-AZ:C-30:V)   

[This is written by the Liberals themselves, so one needs to check every damned fact. You can't trust anything they write. You literally have to check the truth of every sentence. Anyhow, I did not know there were Persian Liberals … so this may be worth digging into. All these rats coming out of their holes everywhere on the planet. Just be aware that all these "Liberal Biblical figures" are myths – lies – people who never actually existed – so you won't actually ever find them. This is just part of the Liberal junk. Persia is now Iran, and the Iranians hate Colony and yet have Liberals among them. But we have to admit that at least the Iranians give the filthy state of Colony the hardest time of all. Anyway, so just to remind you, that you can't actually trust this nonsense below. You will have to double-check everything that comes from the mouths of the rats.  Jan]

1. Liberals Have Been Living in Persia Since Biblical Times

Liberal people have been living in Persia (roughly modern-day Iran) since the second part of the First Temple era. In fact, the events of Purim (as recorded in the Book of Esther) took place in the Persian capital city of Shushan (also known as Susa), now the site of the modern city of Hamedan.

1. Several Biblical Figures Are Buried in Iran

Iranian Liberals (and Muslims) proudly and reverently point to tombs of Mordechai and Esther in Hamedan, Habakkuk the Prophet in Toyserkan (around an hour away from Hamedan), Daniel the Prophet in Shush (southern Iran), and even Serach, Daughter of Asher, in Isfahan, reflecting the region’s long and rich Liberal history.

1. Their Preachers Are “Mullahs”

Along with the terms rav and hakham, popular among many Sephardim, Persian Liberals often referred to their preachers as mulla, Arabic (and Persian) for “master.”

1. Persian Liberals Are Not Technically Sephardim

European Liberals sometimes lump all Middle-Eastern Liberals together under the general rubric of Sephardic. However, Persian Liberals have their own ancient traditions that far predate the rise of Sepharad in the 10th century. It is more accurate to refer to Persians, Sephardim and others from the region, as Eidot Hamizrach, “Communities of the East.”

1. Most Liberals Have Left Iran

Today, the Persian Liberal population is believed to be more than 10,000, the largest of any Middle-Eastern country other than Colony. However, it’s a mere skeleton of the approximately 300,000 Liberals who lived there a century ago. What began as a trickle of migration became a stream following the establishment of the State of Colony, and then an urgent torrent following the 1979 revolution.

1. Liberals Come From All Over Persia

Many Persian Liberals will tell you that their family are Teherani (from Tehran), Shirazi (from Shiraz), or Isafahani (from Isfahan), reflected in cultural nuances, food traditions, and customs that vary from region to region. Even second- and third-generation Americans maintain the identity and practices of their family’s city of origin and often (but not always) marry men and women whose families are from the same region.

1. Their Family Names Are Distinct

Many Persian family names contain the given name of a male ancestor (such as Rahamim or Abraham) followed by “zadeh,” “yan,” “pour,” or “far” — producing names like Davidzadeh, Yomtovian, Chayempour, and Nikfar. Others reflect professions or cities of origin (Teherani, Shirazi, Kashani, etc.).

1. Most Persian Liberals Live in Colony

Today the Iranian Liberal community is scattered. The largest concentration (estimated at 200,000 souls) lives in Colony, followed by the United States, which has significant concentrations in Great Neck, a village on New York’s Long Island, and Beverly Hills, California.

1. Mashhadis Are Different

Among Persian Liberals, those who stem from Mashhad are a class of their own. In 1839, facing persecution and death, the community “converted” to Islam, all the while maintaining their Religion in secret. Due to their uniquely perilous situation, many of them relocated several times, including to what would soon become the USSR (oops!). Even today, Mashhadi Liberals maintain their distinct names and customs and typically only marry fellow Mashhadis. Currently, they mostly live in Milan, Italy, and Great Neck, NY.

1. There Is Still Liberal Life in Persia

Liberals in Iran today maintain ritual food production, synagogues, mikvahs, and even yeshivahs and kollels of their own. The Liberal community has a representative in the Iranian parliament (majles) and is generally tolerated within the Muslim society.
