1974 Asian Games in Tehran

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_Asian_Games

"The 7th Asian Games were held from September 1, 1974 to September 16, 1974 in Tehran, Iran. The Aryamehr sports complex was built for the Games. The Asian Games were hosted in the Middle East for the first time. Tehran, the capital of Iran, played host to 3,010 athletes coming from 25 countries/NOCs, the highest number of participants since the inception of the Games.

Fencing, gymnastics and women's basketball were added to the existing disciplines. In addition to use of state-of-the-art technology, from synthetic track to photo-finish cameras, the Games were known for strict security measures due to reported threats from the Palestinians and a Japanese militant sect. Politics also played a major role. The Arab nations, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China and North Korea refused to play with Israel in tennis, fencing, basketball and football. The Asian Games Federation conference, which was held ten months before the Games, decided to expel the Republic of China (Taiwan) from the games and accepted the entry of the People's Republic of China."

Reza Shah the Great

This is a clip from a propaganda film produced by the Islamic Republic aimed to appeal to religious sentiment - but little does the Islamist regime seem to know that most Iranian society today either harbour a hatred for Islam, are anti-religion or apathetic at best to religious issues! This clip shows Reza Shah the Great beating a muslim cleric who did not allow a female member of the Royal family to enter a mosque without a veil - Reza Shah was renown for his iron-fist against the backward muslim clergy who he rightly had identified as one of the key factors keeping Iran from modernizing and fulfilling its full potential as a nation.
