Historical fictionFebruary 2014The Doksany Legacy
by Quentin Cope
The Doksany Legacy It’s the winter of 1987. Mohsen Raza, merciless head of Iran’s feared Revolutionary Guard hunts millionaire oilman Declan Doyle, whose personal undertaking to deliver the Geneva Project … a vital offshore oilfield installation in the Persian Gulf, crucial to the survival of an Iranian economy, weakened by the war with Iraq … has proven worthless. Englishman Doyle, desperate to escape Raza’s retribution and save his company, makes a frantic last throw of a set of dice loaded heavily against him. Evading Raza’s forces he flees the tiny Arab state of Abu Nar, feverishly bent on seeking the truth in a dying man’s story of Nazi treasure, one great enough to finance and complete the Geneva Project, saving him from a possibly agonising end at Raza’s hands. With nail-biting action from the start, Doyle’s frantic escape from his Iranian hunters leads him through dangerous, unpredictable Mujahideen-controlled Pakistan, onward to Northern Europe and finally to the Arab enclave of Dhofar, a desolate place that holds the key to possibly saving his life … a life spent cheating and ruled by greed for which he knows, inevitably, a price must be paid. What Doyle cannot know is his chequered past and discovery of much sought after Nazi treasure, has set other hunters on his trail … and Mohsen Raza may not end up being the very worst of them. The Doksany Legacy … the much-anticipated sequel to Quentin Cope’s highly successful action and adventure novel The Geneveh Project, is an un-put-downable tale of stark terror and final retribution for a lone, desperate man fleeing some of the most feared adversaries in the world … until finally forced to face the ultimate legacy of his own past.

by Nicolae Achimescu and Mohsen Malek Afzali
The efforts of achieving any kind of dialogue is inscribed in the spirit of both Christian and Islamic authentic traditions. . Assuming this responsibility means to be in a graceful spiritual state, a special mood, an attitude of love and respect towards those who do not live and think like you.

Autobiography: generalOctober 2021Teheran im Bauch
Wie meines Vaters Land mich fand
by Mathias Kopetzki
Der Berliner Schauspieler Mathias Kopetzki, aufgewachsen bei deutschen Adoptiveltern, entschließt sich mit über dreißig Jahren, nach Teheran zu reisen, um seinen leiblichen Vater und dessen streng muslimische Großfamilie kennenzulernen. Durch deren leidvolle Vergangenheit auch mit der eigenen konfrontiert, erlebt er den islamischen Gottesstaat als ein faszinierendes Land voller Gegensätze und verliebt sich im Schatten iranischer Moscheen in eine Kusine, die trotz Todesgefahr ein Verhältnis mit ihm beginnt. Kopetzki zeichnet in seiner spannenden, humorvollen und berührenden Geschichte das ungewöhnliche Bild einer Metropole, in der Restriktionen Alltag sind, Familie sich stützt, Glauben Halt verspricht – aber auch das einer Gesellschaft, in der nichts so ist, wie es scheint.

November 2022This is not your room
by Kareem Mohsen
I turn on the light and see him aged, once again. His eyes protruding from their sockets and his facial expression terrified, as if he saw death right in front of him, stripping his soul from his skin. My body quakes in its clenched state, my heart pounding and dancing in turmoil. After approaching him, trying to avoid looking at his face I ask:“Are you alright? Do you need a doctor? Can I help you go to the bathroom and back?”He looks at me and tells me that he is fine, but he woke up two hours ago and couldn’t fall back asleep, and that between relaxing and staring at the ceiling, he thought of one word. And every time he tried to utter it, he felt like vomiting and emptying his stomach. He cannot even express or describe it in a sentence, it was the kind of word thatcannot be said, as if belonging to a language foreign to him. Whenever he thinks of the word while speaking to me, his features change suddenly, his colour changes to a shade of pale yellow, he opens his and begins to belch, his body shakes and his hands tremble. Across this collection of stories, we find questions of death, family, and desires. Also, places of shifting dimensions, bodies that transform and transmute, languages with no name, a corner wall of an apartment staring out at its inhabitants, and people living in rooms they don’t belong, desiring the impossible.

RomanceBloodsoacked
by Mehdi Yazdani Khoram
Bloodsoaked passes through unfamiliar spaces, taking its readers to the heart of Iran and the Middle East, where love and life and even death are influenced by war, religion, and, of course, a cursed history. By combining Christian aesthetics with Iranian political history and through references to the history of the Middle East in early 1980s, the author has created an atmosphere that could be attractive for both Western and Eastern audiences. Bloodsoaked is one of the most read novels in the past few months in Iran. The novel has rightly been regarded by Iranian critics as a "Modem Gothic". Mohsen Meftah, a graduate student at the University of Tehran, earns his life by following in his father's footstep and making up for the missed prayers and fasts on behalf of deceased Muslims. The story begins on an autumn day when Mohsen is scheduled to visit the graves of five brothers and perform their mother's vow. And so his life gets entangled with the story of the five brothers who grew up in an old neighborhood in Tehran, next to an Armenian Apostolic Church. With the onset of the Islamic Revolution, the lives of these brothers change forever in October 1981. Nasser, the eldest brother, goes to Isfahan with his beloved, Maryam, whose father was executed after the revolution. A Catholic collector has tempted her to excavate some sacred antiquities from a church in Isfahan in turn for a Vatican visa for herself and Nasser. But this excavation turns out to be completely different from what they have imagined. Massoud is a sniper in the Iran-Iraq War, who shoots from a church tower to prevent Iraqi forces from entering the city. He is a brave young man whose shocking destiny is tied up with the fate of the left women in a war-torn city. Mansour, the third brother, is a photographer who has taken photos from the executions and trials in Revolutionary Tribunals. Taking pictures of the execution of a notorious prostitute changes his life and drags him to Beirut. There he falls in love with a Maronite nun, Maria. But politics and religious fanaticism shape a different destiny for them. Mahmoud falls in love with a communist girl and follows her to Mashhad, so that they can flee to the Soviet Union together. And the fate of Tahir, their six-year-old brother, is tied to Tehran and St. Marry Church in their neighborhood. Mohsen says prayers over all these graves, but why they all have remained empty after so many years?

Jurisprudence & general issuesMiraculous Shari‘a, Rather than Powerless Laws
by Mohamed Wafik Zain al-Abedin (Dr.), Ref'at Al-Awadi (Dr.), Abdullah Al-Musleh (Dr.), Kawthar Al-Abji (Dr.), Mohsen Fadly (Judge)
The law of any nation is the mirror of its material, intellectual and social conditions. if it is true that the law is the source of happiness and revival of every society, as the philosophers of law say, then it will not be so unless it fulfills their cultural, intellectual and material requirements and aspirations that are dictated by the nature of their religious and social environment, rather it will be a pity on them, and it will be a source of their misery and suffering, not their happiness and revival, for correct legislation is the result of the nation’s spirit and the result of its traditions and customs, since everyone is captive to his religious and social values and principles. The most important results of reality and its implications is the invalidity of the human mind while it is a source of legislation. History proves to us day after day that the structure of the mind is weak and frail that it is easy to be deceived, decepted and cheated, as it is possible to provide a group of minds with flawed false information, or to seduce them with corrupted and perverted delusions, so they easily make massive errors, and are driven to the apparent astray without the slightest concern!! Indeed, reality has proven that minds, when grouped, may be unable to search the tools, methods, attributes, phenomena of incidents, people's bodies and their appearances. While these minds have shown their ingenuity in dealing with the quantity of events, they have shown, on the other hand, an unlimited helplessness in dealing with their quality. While it is supposed that they use rational, logical thinking when they cooperate with each other, but rather they slipped in the abyss and pits of emotional, sentimental and imaginative delusional thinking without the slightest wisdom or insight. Reality has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the application of man-made laws was and still the most important reason for the spread of crime and the increase in its rates and diversity in a way that did not exist at the time of our ancestors, and that these laws did not fulfill their role in fulfilling the requirements of litigants, resolving their arguments, and settling their disputes. They have neither become a deterrence, nor have they completed cases, nor have they restored the rights to their owners. Rather, the so many loopholes in them have led to stubbornness in litigation, procrastination in procedures, frequent appeals, abstention from fulfilling rights and duties, increased oppression and aggression, the prevalence of poverty, misery and deprivation, stirring up chaos and barbarism, And spread the spirit of revenge and vengeance among the litigants. The validity of any legislation is decided on the basis of the validity of its values and principles and its consistency with reality. Rational legislative policy must depend on elements that are homogeneous with the environment that controls it. If it is based on elements that are in conflict with it, the link between the texts and their goals is lost so that they do not lead to achieve the intended purpose, as any legislative organization is not intended in itself, rather it is merely a means to achieve its goals related to controlling life and happiness of people, and in this framework the merits of Sharia emerge it is are from the Creator who is more knowledgeable about the conditions of his servants, and who knows what is in their goodness and what is the consequence of their affairs, and it is distinguished from the man made law as it has features and characteristics that make it more worthy to follow and more appropriate to apply, as its enactment is not controlled by opinions, and whims does not mess with its destination. Nothing more revealing that than man made law's contradiction and inconsistency, for those who sanctify the law and defend it, do not sanctify one thing and do not defend one thing, as the law is multiple in its totalities as well as its parts, it's even contradictory in its totalities as well as its parts, so what law do they call peoples to respect and sanctify? The law that permits homosexuals' marriage or the law that prohibits it? The law that permits divorce between spouses, the law that restricts it, or the law that prevents it? The law that permits adoption, the law that restricts it, or the law that prevents it? The law that gives the testator the hand in choosing who he bequeaths - even if it is a dog - or is it the law that limits and restricts his authority? The law that uses the death penalty, or the law that restricts its images and situations, or the law that absolutely prohibits its use? The law that allows drinking alcohol, the law that restricts it, or the law that prohibits it? The law that brings taxes and fees to a third, a quarter, or a tenth? The law that approves granting those subject to interest on their money and deposits in return for safekeeping them, or the law that deducted from them in return for safekeeping them? Thus tens and hundreds of conflicting and contradictory examples of laws, all of which are established by their authors, sometimes by mind and sometimes by experience. We do not have a single law that can be respected or defended, but we are in front of tens and hundreds of different laws according to different systems of multiple countries, rather there is hardly a single human act in which all systems agree on a common punishment for in addition to its criminalization, and this in itself violates the idea of the law and its necessity.
