    As Salaamu ALaikum SIs:

    Mash’Allah, this is an intersting start. I love rugs and I heard that the Persian rugs are the most beautiful and expensive too.
    Insh’ALlah, I hope you can add more to this page. It is like an introduction to your world that so many of us don’t seem to hear anything positive at times. Well, there is not much to watching television, most programs that are meant to inform always have to come up with soemting biased.

    :)

    Iran does have a very rich cultural heritage, from its Rugs and mytical poetry to its modern day cinema. They have quite a refined aesthetic eye. I personally love persian music.
