EU Sanctions On Iran, It Shows Double Standard-Iran

European Union imposed tighter sanctins on Iran, it further stated that member countries will immediately freeze all trade affairs with Iran. All banks are directed to seized accounts of Iran based companies.

While on the other hand Iran's higher defense officials has annoyed against the latest sanctions imposed on Tehran's nuclear program, stating that world powers are applying a double standard.

The Supreme National Security Council of Iran says the EU and other nuclear powers have penalized Iran even it doesn't making nuclear weapons, on the other side they are supporting Israel, which is widely believed to have a sizable nuclear weapon store.

The Israel rejects to verify or deny the suspicions.

The SNSC of Iran further adds there was no good reason for the sanctions. The statement was released on Friday.

It says the U.N. nuclear watchdog has not found proof that Tehran has sidetracked its nuclear program into making of weapons.

Below are some highlights of EU Sanctions

EU SANCTIONS

-The EU has imposed visa bans on senior officials such as Revolutionary Guards head Mohammad Ali Jafari, former Defence Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar and former atomic energy chief Gholamreza Aghazadeh, and on top nuclear and ballistic experts.

-Britain announced last October it was freezing business ties with Bank Mellat and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, both of which have previously faced sanctions from the United States. Britain cited fears they were involved in helping Iran develop nuclear weapons.

-Energy sector sanctions would prohibit "new investment, technical assistance and transfers of technologies, equipment and services related to these areas, in particular related to refining, liquefaction and liquefied natural gas technology".

Nazeer Naji You Are Great


See this link of Daily Jang May 29, 2010 edition for reading full article http://www.jang.com.pk/jang/may2010-daily/29-05-2010/col8.htm

Jab Punjabi kisi say khush hotay hay ya agar aap kisi Punjabi ko koi achi baat suany ya usay khush kar day to aap unsay ye jumla/fiqra zaroor sunney gay kay "paa ji tusi great ho". Naji nay savairay savairay kay is article may puri qoam ko jahanjor kar uthadiya hay.

Naji problem is not the value added tax and nor any other tax, problem is our country public who sleep in late hours at night after watching their favorite drama, movie, reality show or any other program they like and wake up in late hours at morning. (Har koi subah tarkay Naji ki tarah thora hi uth jata hay warna har dosra aadmi kisi na kisi news paper may roz 300 word ya is say ziada ka sabaq amoz article likh raha ho ga). Further more this public will never act without their leaders, you and me are evident that when Gen (Rtd) Pervaiz Musharraf took control of this country in 2000 very next day a pin drop silence would have been observed in the whole country, no jalsa or juloos, no road jam no sit-in in front of embassies or press club and this silence remain more or less 10 years untill Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto & Nawaz Sharif starts a campaign against the General Musharraf and then he left the Government, moreover petrol comes to a price from Rs. 54/- to Rs. 75/-, sugar from Rs. 40 to Rs. 60/- or 65/-, flour Rs. 15/- to almost Rs. 35/- but there will be the same pin dropped silence that I mentioned above.

Sir you are great person there is no doubt in it, man like you will born in centuries and its a good luck of our country that we have people like you, who trying to wake up a sleepy nation (hamari awam cable aur satellite channels ki lambi chadar taan kar so rahi hay isay uthana thora say mushkil zaroor hay magar na mumkin nahi aur jis din ye qaom neend say bedaar hui to sari duniya jaanti hay kay hum kissi say kam nahi.)

Cell phone vs Quran

 Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Quran like we treat
 our cell phone?

What if we carried  it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped  through it several time a day?

What if we turned  back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it  to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated  it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it  to kids as gifts?

What if we used it  when we traveled?

What if we used it  in case of emergency?

This is something  to make you go....hmm...where is my Quran?

Oh, and one more  thing.

Unlike our cell  phone, we don't have to worry about our Quran being
Disconnected

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And  no dropped calls!

P.S.  DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH  THIS EMAIL
Trust in the Lord and *ASAP (Always Say A Prayer)

If you are one of the 7% who will stand up for Him, forward this.

93% of people won't forward this.
