Nowadays news agencies – mostly American- try to enforce a new propaganda in people’s mind. They’re representing a new ideal to compare all women of the world with her.
“The deafening cheers were not for presidential hopeful Mir Hossein Mousavi, but rather for his wife — a woman some are calling Iran’s Michelle Obama.
The comparisons to the first lady of the United States stem from the role Zahra Rahnavard is playing in her husband’s quest for the presidency.
Never in the history of Iranian presidential elections has a candidate put his wife in the forefront of his campaign.” CNN
Is Michelle Obama getting a new brand just marking every well-spoken woman in the world? Maybe they assume her an original Adidas which has too many Chinese copies.
This statement has a major problem. Actually there’s no parallels between Zahra Rahnavard and Michelle Obama. They’re two different people with two different identities.
If Barack Obama wasn’t president, nobody would notice the fashionable, well-spoken, and smart Michelle Obama. Despite all her smartness and style, she would remain in the world of unknowns. Her fame is attributable entirely to her husband’s success.
While many in Iran knew Zahra Rahnavard before they know Mir Hussein Mussavi. You get the idea that her husband is somehow using her fame in his campaign. There are many Iranians who vote for Mir Hussain Mussavi, just because of his wife. For her being Iran’s first female chancellor of university after revolution. Due to the fact that she is a knowledgeable and famous University professor. And because she has published over 30 books, more than what her husband did.
She is famous for being a political adviser to former Iranian president and her sculptures in famous squares of Tehran.
She is not famous for fashion, because she wears the black chador, though she has never practiced the Mantou dress-code under.
She wears a long sleeve shirt and pants under her black chador and based on Iranian law for women, she has not changed her surname after marriage like Michelle Obama.
That’s what writers of the articles fail to comprehend. Every nation has it’s especial identity. An Iranian remains Iranian. A muslim woman represents the ideal of her own likes.
An intelligent and well-spoken muslim woman does not need an American brand, because she is another brand helself, an independent one within her own identity, culture and believes and she does not necessarily borrow titles of other people.
Queen Rania of Jordan is brand of her own, just like Shaikha Muzah, Queen of Qatar. None of them are American and certainly none of them can and want to be compared with an american ideal.
How they feel if i say, it’s Michelle Obama who is America’s Queen Rania? Or Maybe It’s Michelle Obama who is America’s Shaikha Muzah. Let’s be realistic. Maybe it’s Michelle Obama who is America’s Zahra Rahnavard.

Just some days to Iranian presidential election, the Iranian blogosphere published a huge amount of articles on weblogs about its diverse thoughts on the capable candidate. They have left no stream of thought unrepresented.
If not as important as American election, but maybe more,
