There is a familiar page in the internet for Iranians which is the following:

repression in Iran

If you are in Iran and you go to a website that is not in full accord with what the governement wants you to see then they show you this nice page instead. The governemt has a sophisticated filtering software with a big big list of websites to filter. The list includes a wide variety of websites ranging from sexdotcom to BBC Persian TV!

Now in the “Free World” part of the universe there is a second type of repression which only applies only if you have the misfortune of being born in the uncivilized part of the world. I already told you that my website was shut down by bluehost.com because I was of Iranian nationality. Now when you go to my old website you will see the following:

Repression in the "free world"

I am very disappointed. Isn’t this a mild form of racism?

I feel very bad for other Iranians like myself who try very hard and leave that country in search of a peaceful life only to find many obstacles on their way.

There lies a bigger, more fundamental problem here. That of dividing a tiny planet into islands and calling them countries. The war between dangerous politicians kills harmless civilians.
