Beyond Our Eyes is a documentary which focuses on individuals of different Religious backgrounds, other than the Shia Muslims, who commemorate the influential figure in Islamic history, namely Hussain Ibn Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as). The story of Karbala has been an inspiration, a lesson and an everlasting message to mankind. The month of Muharram marks an event, although took place 1300 years ago, still strikes the attention of different religious figures even in the 21st century. This documentary finds out how and why Imam Hussain is significant in the lifestyle of many.

Historical events are at times extremely influential in transforming human thought, politics and the structure of society. One of such historical events in Islam was Qadir event which happened in 632 AD. Shortly before his death prophet Muhammad undertook a farewell pilgrimage. It has been recorded by numerous historians that on their return journey, he commanded all the Muslims to gather so that he may recite for them a crucial sermon. Then the prophet declared Imam Ali\'s guardianship as his own. He said: Whoever I am the master of; this Ali is the master of. Although Imam Ali, peace be upon him, is the first Imam for Shia Muslims, the Qadir event is indeed a factor for unity among Shia and Sunni Muslims. On such occasion, an international congress has been held in Iran to study more about Qadir. Dozens of scholars from Iran and other countries attended the congress presenting articles on different aspects of Qadir event. Unlike a false belief which considers Qadir as the origin of disunity between Shias and Sunnis, Qadir promotes unity among Muslims. Religious experts say once Qadir is explained to all, Muslim unity will be achieved because Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) recommended Muslims on Qadir day to obey both Qur\'an and his holy household.

Iran's supervisory body the Guardian Council says there have been no major irregularities in the country's presidential election. The council's Spokesman Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei told Press TV on Wednesday that the body had reviewed all complaints lodged by the presidential candidates. The remarks came as the Guardian Council extended a deadline to endorse the results of the elections. The Iranian official said the extension of the deadline to endorse the poll was a confidence-building move and there had been no major irregularities in the vote. He concluded that the final decision of the council is expected to be declared at the end of the five-day extra time. The influential body, which oversees the election, had a 10-day deadline to approve the June 12 election results, after looking into the complaints lodged by the presidential candidates. The deadline was to expire on Wednesday but Ahmad Jannati, the Secretary of the Council asked the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei to extend the deadline by five days. Ayatollah Khamenei in a letter to Jannati on Tuesday agreed with the request.

Lecture on American strategic doctrines since Cold War against Russia and their propaganda campaign. time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,11 51823,00.html "A slow squeeze for the Iranian frog" Good Cop Bad Cop: Many in the US capital doubt the effectiveness of Europe's softer approach to Iran. Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute, an influential neoconservative thinktank, says: "The longer we wait and the more we negotiate, the longer Iran has to pursue a covert program." The road to co-operation between Europe and the US involves pursuing the "good cop, bad cop" routine because it will force the Iranians to be serious about dealing with the friendlier party. However, there's a suspicion in the US and in Europe, and a strong certainty in Iran, that when push comes to shove, the Europeans aren't going to be willing to cut the ties with the Iranians and say simply that Iran has been cheating, the deal is broken. We need to persuade the Europeans that even if you're the good cop, you have to be prepared to pull the gun and make the arrest. Iran was expected to respond to the IAEA report Wednesday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4290161.stm http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0302/dailyUpdate.html

New documentary titled \"Eyes Wide Open\" covering the journey of Iranian Shiite and Sunni clerics to South Lebanon. In their journey they meet influential figures and visit various religious locations. A rare meeting between the clerics and Sheik Hassan Nasrallah will also be translated shortly. In this segment, the religious scholars visit the sister of Imam Musa al-Sadr, Rabab Sadr. Sayyid Musá a?-?adr (1929-disappeared in 1978) (Arabic: ????? ???? ??????, Persian: ???? ???? ???, also transliterated Musa-ye Sader, Moussa Sadr and many other variants), was an Iranian-born Lebanese philosopher and a prominent Shiah religious leader who spent many years of his life in Lebanon as a religious and political leader. Musá a?-?adr was born in Qom, Iran in 1929 to the prominent Lebanese a?-?adr family of theologians. His father was Ayatollah ?adr ad-Din a?-?adr, originally from Tyre. Grand Ayatollah Mu?ammad Baqir a?-?adr is a distant cousin. He is said to have worked tirelessly to improve the lot of his community - to give them a voice, to protect them from the ravages of war and intercommunal strife ... A?-?adr was widely seen as a moderate, demanding that the Maronite Christians relinquish some of their power but pursuing ecumenism and peaceful relations between the groups. He was a vocal opponent of Israel but also attacked the PLO for endangering Lebanese civilians with their attacks. In 1974 he founded the Movement of the Disinherited to press for better economic and social conditions for the Shiah. He established a number of schools and medical clinics throughout southern Lebanon, many of which are still in operation today. In August 1978, al-Sadr and two companions departed for Libya to meet with government officials. The three were never heard of again. It is widely believed that the Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi ordered a?-?adr\'s killing, but the motivation is unknown. Libya has consistently denied responsibility, claiming that a?-?adr and his companions left Libya for Italy. Some others have reported that he remains secretly in jail in Libya. A?-?adr\'s disappearance continues to be a major dispute between Lebanon and Libya. Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri claimed that the Libyan regime, and particularly the Libyan leader, were responsible for the disappearance of Imam Musa Sadr, London-based Asharq Al-Awsat, a Saudi-run pan-Arab daily reported on 27 August 2006. According to Iranian General Mansour Qadar, the head of Syrian security, Rifaat al-Asad, told the Iranian ambassador to Syria that Gaddafi was planning to kill a?-?adr. On August 27, 2008, Gaddafi was indicted by the government of Lebanon for al-Sadr\'s disappearance. [8]

Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri plans to visit Iran in November in an effort to expand ties with the Islamic Republic, a newspaper close to his political alliance has reported. Hariri announced his plans to visit Iran in a recent meeting of his Future Movement political party, major Lebanese daily An-Nahar reported, quoted by IRNA on Sunday. The Lebanese daily, affiliated with the March 14 Alliance which is close to the Lebanese premier, said Hariri's visit will likely take place in late November. Another influential Lebanese daily As-Safir also confirmed the reported planned visit and siad that Hariri's trip to Iran will likely take place on November 28 and 29. An IRNA report from Beirut, however, quotes an informed source in Hariri's office as describing the reports as "media speculations." While not denying the planned visit, the source stated that the "official date" of the visit has not been announced "though it will not take long for it to be set." The Lebanese prime minister is due to visit Russia on Monday and then travel to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday for an official visit. According to the IRNA report, Abu-Dhabi will be Hariri's next destination before his visit to Iran. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad led a high-level delegation in a landmark visit to Lebanon last October in which he emphasized Iran's determination to expand ties with the country in all fields.

With English Subtitles. It was the dawn of the Cuban revolution. Hassan Abbasi, Iranian political science professor tells the story of his young years. Apologies for the minor spelling in Sartre. Jean-Paul Charles Aymard Sartre (French pronunciation: [saʁtʁ], English: /ˈsɑrtrə/; 21 June 1905 -- 15 April 1980) was a French existentialist philosopher, playwright, novelist, screenwriter, political activist, biographer, and literary critic. He was one of the leading figures in 20th century French philosophy, existentialism, and Marxism, and his work continues to influence fields such as Marxist philosophy, sociology, critical theory and literary studies. Sartre was also noted for his long polyamorous relationship with the feminist author and social theorist, Simone de Beauvoir. He was awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature but refused the honour. Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃe geˈβaɾa];[5] June 14,[1] 1928 -- October 9, 1967), commonly known as El Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, intellectual, guerrilla leader, diplomat and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, since his death, Guevara's stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol and global insignia within popular culture.[6] As a medical student, Guevara traveled throughout Latin America and was transformed by the endemic poverty he witnessed.[7] His experiences and observations during these trips led him to conclude that the region's ingrained economic inequalities were an intrinsic result of capitalism, monopolism, neocolonialism, and imperialism, with the only remedy being world revolution.[8] This belief prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow solidified Guevara's radical ideology. Later, while living in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and travelled to Cuba aboard the yacht, Granma, with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.[9] Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the successful two year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.[10] Following the Cuban Revolution, Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included instituting agrarian reform as minister of industries, serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba's armed forces, reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals,[11] and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion[12] and bringing to Cuba the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles which precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.[13] Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful motorcycle journey across South America. Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and executed.[14] Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[15] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him entitled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was declared "the most famous photograph in the world."

Vali Amr Muslimeen Ayatullah Sayyed Ali Khamenei delivered this lecture on 8 August 2011. دیدار مسئولان نظام جمهوری اسلامی با رهبر انقلاب http://farsi.khamenei.ir/news-content?id=16887 حضرت آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای رهبر معظم انقلاب اسلامی عصر یكشنبه، 16 مرداد ماه 1390، در دیدار رؤسای قوای مجریه، مقننه و قضاییه، رییس مجلس خبرگان ،اعضای هیأت وزیران، نمایندگان مجلس، مسئولان دستگاه‌ها و سازمان‌های مختلف، ائمه جمعه و نمایندگان ولی فقیه در استان‌ها و فرماندهان ارشد نیروهای مسلح در سخنان بسیار مهمی با اشاره به شرایط بی‌سابقه منطقه و جهان، تحلیل جامعی از شرایط كشور ارائه و تأكید كردند: ارزیابی واقع‌بینانه از جایگاه نظام اسلامی بعد از گذشت 32 سال نشان می‌دهد، كشور اكنون به دستاوردها و پیشرفت‌های بزرگ و غیرقابل تصوری رسیده كه امیدبخش و زمینه‌ساز برای ادامه حركت شتابان به سمت قله‌ها هستند و در كنار آنها نیز اولویت‌ها و فهرستی از كارهای انجام نگرفته وجود دارند كه باید با همدلی، وحدت، كار و تلاش شبانه‌روزی، ایستادگی بر اصول و ارزش‌ها و با استفاده از اعتماد كم‌نظیر مردم به نظام و اعتماد به نفس ملی بالا در میان جوانان، از فرصت‌های موجود حداكثر استفاده را كرد و ایران اسلامی را به جایگاه شایسته خود در منطقه و جهان رساند. رهبر انقلاب اسلامی، نگاه واقع‌بینانه در هرگونه ارزیابی شرایط كشور را مهم دانستند و افزودند: برای رسیدن به یك نگاه صحیح و واقعی از وضعیت كشور باید شرایط فعلی منطقه و جهان را نیز در نظر گرفت زیرا بیداری اسلامی كنونی در منطقه و بحران اقتصادی عجیبی كه گریبانگیر غرب شده و همچنین رشد جریان‌های افراطی در غرب، از ابتدای پیروزی انقلاب اسلامی تاكنون بی‌سابقه است. حضرت آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای خاطرنشان كردند: وجود چنین شرایط بی‌سابقه‌ای در منطقه و دنیا، فرصت‌های بزرگی را پیش روی نظام اسلامی قرار داده است كه اگر ارزیابی واقع بینانه‌ای از شرایط كشور وجود نداشته باشد، ممكن است این فرصت‌ها از دست بروند و یا حتی تبدیل به تهدید شوند. ایشان ارزیابی صحیح از شرایط كشور را مستلزم نگاه واقع‌بینانه و پرهیز از یكسونگری دانستند و افزودند: در بررسی شرایط كشور، باید هم نقاط قوت و هم نقاط ضعف را دید و از نگاه منفی و یا نگاه مثبت مطلق پرهیز كرد. رهبر انقلاب اسلامی با اظهار گله‌مندی از نگاه منفی مطلق در میان برخی مسئولان و نخبگان سیاسی، نتیجه اجتماعی چنین نگرشی را ناامیدی دانستند و خاطرنشان كردند: متأسفانه برخی مطبوعات نیز به دلیل بعضی اغراض فقط تیتر منفی می‌زنند كه این روش، كار غلطی است. حضرت آیت‌الله خامنه‌ای تأكید كردند: نگاه مثبت صرف نیز نادرست و موجب رضایت كاذب است. http://english.khamenei.ir//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1500&Itemid=2 Ayatollah Khamenei the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution met with the heads of the three branches of government, chairman of the Assembly of Experts, cabinet members, members of the Majlis, military commanders and government officials from different organizations of the country.

Imam Musa Sadr A member of Lebanese Amal Movement has described the abduction of Lebanon\'s Shia cleric Imam Moussa al-Sadr as a deliberate ploy by the United States and international Zionism. Khalil Hamdan, who headed a delegation representing the Amal Movement, told reporters in the Iranian capital of Tehran that the US and \'Zionists\' used Libya\'s fugitive ruler Muammar Gaddafi to implement the ploy in order to undermine the Lebanese movement, IRNA reported on Monday. Sadr, the founder of Lebanon\'s Amal Movement, was a popular and highly revered Lebanese Shia cleric of Iranian descent that disappeared on August 31, 1978 while visiting Libya. Hamdan further made reference to Sadr\'s endeavors to illuminate and spread the values of the Islamic Revolution and noted that Imam Moussa had elaborated on the point in his last article before his abduction. Accompanied by two of his companions, Mohammed Yaqoub and Abbas Badreddin, Sadr was scheduled to meet with officials from the then government of Gaddafi. At the time, Libyan authorities claimed that the Iranian-born influential cleric and his associates had boarded a flight to Rome, Italy. However, Italian officials said the three men were never found on the plane. Born in the Iranian city of Qom, Sadr went to Lebanon in 1959 to work for the civil rights of Shias in the southern city of Tyre. In 1974, a year before Lebanon\'s 15-year civil war broke out, he founded the Movement of the Deprived, attracting thousands of followers. In 1975, Sadr founded Amal, the first major resistance and political force for Lebanon\'s Shias, who were historically under the rule of Christians and Sunnis. Most of Sadr\'s followers are convinced that Gaddafi ordered his assassination in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese groups, but the Imam\'s family argues he could still be alive in a Libyan jail. In 2008, the Lebanese government issued an arrest warrant for Gaddafi over Sadr\'s disappearance. Lebanon has recognized Libya\'s Transitional National Council (TNC), saying it would work with \"emerging authorities\" in the North African country to uncover the fate of the missing cleric.

Sayyed Nasrallah Appeals for Calm: High Level Contacts to Free Kidnapped Men Batoul Wehbe Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said Hezbollah and Amal movement are following the kidnapping of the Lebanese men in Aleppo very seriously, calling on people not to cut off roads or exercise any violence because it does not serve the issue. Sayyed Nasrallah was speaking in the name of Amal Movement leader Nabih Berri and the leaderships of Hezbollah and Amal movement who are working on the highest levels to secure their release. A group of Syrian militants abducted a number of Lebanese visitors who were on their way back from Iran where they visited the holy sites there. His eminence while condemning the act appealed for calm among people. "We want cooperation from people and we call them not to cut roads or burn tyres," Sayyed Nasrallah said, adding that he fears foreigners may cause problems with the army and other groups and take the country into the unknown. In response to some people who threatened to kidnap Syrian nationals in Lebanon, Sayyed Nasrallah said that this act of revenge is forbidden and that the Syrian nationals are "our brothers, and nobody should make such unacceptable act personally." Sayyed Nasrallah called on the Lebanese government to shoulder its responsibility concerning this case and make every necessary effort to secure the release of the Lebanese men. "Contacts started with the Syrian authorities and with some influential regional states since the early moment, we did not stop short at any way for the sake of their release… Your sons and families are our responsibility and you know us how we shoulder our responsibilities," Sayyed Nasrallah announced. تعرض عدد من اللبنانيين للخطف في حلب على يد مسلحين اثناء عودتهم من ايران حيث كانوا في عداد حملة لزيارة العتبات المقدسة. وتحدثت احدى المخطوفين المفرج عنها وتدعى حياة عوالي من سورية مع قناة المنار عن ما حصل معهم اثناء عملية الخطف من قبل مسلحين. اكد الأمين العام لحزب الله سماحة السيد حسن نصر الله في مداخلة عبر قناة المنار حول موضوع اللبنانيين المختطفين في سورية ان حزب الله وحركة امل يتابعون هذه القضية بشكل حثيث مؤكدا اننا نعتبر المخطوفين امانة في اعناقنا وسنعمل ليل نهار لعودتهم الى اهلهم داعيا الى عدم قطع الطرقات او ممارسة اي عنف لأن ذلك لا يخدم هذه القضية.. وقال السيد نصر الله ان "كلامي الان باسمي وباسم الرئيس بري وقيادتي حزب الله وحركة امل.. العملية مدانة بكل المعايير وانا ودولة الرئيس بري والقيادتان نتعاطى مع الموضوع بمسؤولية كبيرة جدا ونعمل على الملف بشكل حثيث جدا وهذا نعتبره مسؤوليتنا كما لو كان اخوتنا واولادنا مخطوفين". واضاف "الحكومة يجب ان تتحمل مسؤوليتها في هذا الموضوع وانا والرئيس بري اتصلنا بالرئيس ميقاتي ونحن قمنا باتصالات اخرى على خطوط اخرى". ودعا السيد نصر الله "باسم قيادتي امل وحزب الله الى ان لا يلجأ احد لقطع طرقات حيث نخاف ان يدخل احد على الخط في هذا الجو المحتقن ويفتح مشكل مع الجيش او مع قوى الامن او احد يأخذ البلد الى مكان اخر بعيد عن معالجة هذه القضية الانسانية قضية اطلاق سراح المختطفين". اضاف " لذلك اتمنى على كل اهالي الضاحية والمنطقة والبقاع وكل المناطق شبابنا وشباب امل والعائلات كلنا يجب ان نتعاون.. لا نريد قطع طرقات لأنه لا يفيد لأن من يقوم بذلك على من يريد ان يضغط ؟ اذا كان يريد ان يضغط على القيادات السياسية والحكومة اللبنانية لتحمل المسؤولية فنحن كلنا متحملون للمسؤولية من اللحظة الاولى ومعتبرون هذا الموضوع بالنسبة لنا اولوية مطلقة". واشار الى ان "قطع الطرقات يلحق الاذى بالناس ويعطل حياة الناس وفي الاجواء المحتقنة يمكن ان ياخذ الى مكان اخر وموضوع قطع الطرقات وحرق الدواليب او الاعتداء على اي احد يمر على الطرقات لا من ناحية اخلاقية ولا دينية ولا وطنية سليم ولا يخدم هذه القضية". واكد الأمين العام لحزب الله ان تهديد البعض بخطف رعايا سوريين "ممنوع وحرام من الناحية الاخلاقية والشرعية والوطنية والرعايا السوريون اخواننا واهلنا ولا يجوز ان يتصرف احد من تلقاء نفسه بتصرف خاطئ من هذا النوع". واعلن السيد نصر الله ان "الاتصالات بدأت مع السلطة في سورية ومع بعض الدول الاقليمية المؤثرة من اللحظات الاولى.. هناك دول وقوى اقليمية مؤثرة في هذا النوع من الملفات.. نحن لم نعدم اي وسيلة.. اولادكم وشبابكم واهلكم امانة في اعناقنا وتعرفون كيف نتحمل المسؤولية".. واكد سماحة السيد نصر الله ان "المسؤولية مسؤولية الدولة والكل مدعو الى انضباط كامل وحقيقي وسنعمل في الليل والنهار حتى يكون الاحبة في ما بيننا وبتعاوننا جميعا ان شاء الله نصل الى خاتمة طيبة لهذا الحادث المأساوي".
