[FREE IRAN Project] In The Spirit Of Cyrus The Great

[AmirN]

Submit for your approval, the following hypothetical world. A world centuries into the future. A world where Adolf Hitler is considered the “messenger of God” for the Jewish people. A world where Jews name their children after Adolf Hitler, Josef Mengele, Rudolf Hess, and Heinrich Himmler. A world where these men are regarded as Saints for the Jews. Where the images of these men are hung as portraits with halos behind them in all pious Jews’ homes. Where their images are also carved on small pieces of gold, and hung around the pious Jews’ necks as a necklace. Where the anniversary of Hitler’s death is commemorated by Jews with self-flailing and self-mutilation, to feel Hitler’s pain in his final hour. A world where Mein Kampf is regarded as the Jewish Holy Book, and Jews fast every year to commemorate the time when Hitler got his inspiration to write this book while incarcerated. A world where Jews greet each other with the salute of “Heil Hitler.” Where the truly devout Jew dresses in a traditional SS uniform. Where growing a funny looking square mustache is honored and revered. A world where the law of the Jewish land is based on the fascist ideology of Mein Kampf. A world where Jews gather in their place of worship every week on Saturdays to discuss and recreate Hitler’s speeches. Where any Jew that speaks against any of the above is tortured and killed.

Does this hypothetical world seem ridiculous, bizarre, and impossible? Of course it does! Fortunately, you will only find it in the Twilight Zone. Now, wake up from this eerie slumber.

Yes, wake up from that nightmare, and join my reality. Open your eyes to present day Iran. Mohammad, and his “saintly” successors were Iran’s Hitler and his henchmen. We are worshiping and idolizing the very people who sent out to destroy, oppress, and annihilate us. We have forgotten the Blitzkrieg with which they entered Iran. We have forgotten the tens of thousands of loyal Persian soldiers who gave their lives at Qadissiyah and elsewhere to defend our homeland from the foreign barbarians. They were trying to prevent exactly the calamity which befell Iran. We have forgotten the plunder, devastation, and murder which occurred at Ctesiphone, Istakhr, and numerous other cities and provinces in Iran. We have forgotten the death and destruction that accompanied Allah.

The hundreds of thousands of our ancestors who bled the battlefields and streets of those cities red have been forgotten by most of us. Even worse, we have become the sympathizers of their enemy. What shame we have brought upon our ancestors! A true slap in their face; the ultimate betrayal.

History is what it is. The true facts can never be changed, no matter how hard anybody tries to do so, or to deny them.

The moving finger writes; and, having writ
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a line,
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it
-Omar Khayyam

The Islamists cannot reconcile these historical genocidal events with the fact that the religion that a nation practices should at least not despise the people of that nation. Instead, they have chosen to ignore history, not mention it, and focus on other trivial matters. And most Iranians have fallen into their trap, like zombies.

So why is the first world I showed you impossible, but our world of Iran a reality? I can think of two reasons. First, Germany lost the war in 1945, whereas the Arabs unfortunately did not in 651. The world is mostly molded by the victors. No-one can or could have any control over this first cause. Second, and most important, the Jews undertook an information crusade. They all vowed to never forget or allow their descendants to ever forget Hitler’s crimes; as well they shouldn’t. Rightfully, they have erected countless holocaust museums, and openly discussed and condemned those events. They honor and respect their ancestors. Millennia from now, Hitler will still be viewed as the criminal that he was. This is an area where we do have control, but so far have not been as forthcoming as we should. We the present day Iranians must remind ourselves and our descendants of the historical events surrounding the Islamic conquest of Iran.

I am glad there is no afterlife. For if there was, Kourosh, Dariush, Xashayar, Ardeshir, Shapur, Khosro Anushiravan, and countless other heroes would have wept in 651, and again in 1979. Instead, I weep for them.

Welcome to my Twilight Zone.

Subject: [sosiran] The horrific letter of just one of the political prisoners in Iran and more ...


Just a reminder, Attorney Gereral Mortezavi (highlighted in the article below) is the same man who is responsible for the death of Zahra Kazemi, the Canadian Photo Journalist, who was raped and murdered by Iranian authority in Iran couple of years ago simply for taking pictures of the relatives of political prisoners outside the prison building. Canada broke its diplomatic relation with Iran and has since filed complaints against Iran's regime.

May god save these young feedom-fighters and these jewels of Iran - If you think praying will help, please do pray for them.

The horrific letter of political prisoner Mehrdad Lohrasbi

I, Mehrdad Lohrasbi, have been in prison for 6 years and 6 months, charged with fighting for the freedom of all people and protesting against the barbarous and despotic regime of the Mulllahs, that has brutally taken all rights away from the people and oppressed enlightened thinkers, freedom-fighters and activists of our country over the last 27 years.

I was arrested during the July 9th, 1999 student and people's uprising where Iranians took to the streets to denounce and condemn the totalitarian rule of the clerics, demanding a referendum and nationwide vote to choose the form of government that is in accordance to the will of the people in Iran, excluding the visibly corrupt and murderous rule of the tyrants of the Islamic Republic whose supporters do not even add up to the 20 percentile of the people of Iran. However, with all their bells and whistles of publicity and rhetoric the ruling clerics have managed to squelch that Democratic mandate. Therefore myself and many of my fellow activists, humanitarians and student leaders were arrested and maliciously sentenced to death; however due to international pressure from various human rights organizations and the overwhelming wave of public opinion that was on our side, our sentences were reduced to 15 years in prison.

At this moment however, I am extremely ill and suffer from everything from problems with my left knee, my lungs, gums and teeth (scurvy) and a tumor that has begun to rapidly grow in the left side of my cerebellum which I am told may be malignant and probably cancerous.

I have requested a medical furlough from the prison authorities and they have categorically refused to permit me to receive medical attention. If I die or am incapacitated within the next few months, it would be entirely due to the viciousness of the judiciary and especially the criminal attorney general Mortezavi who has always opposed to any furloughs for us prisoners of conscience who seek freedom and liberty for our people.

I dream of an Iran that is free of dictators where Iranians can live in peace and liberty

Yours Sincerely,

Mehrdad Lohrasbi - Rejaiishahr Prison, Karadj

Shadows of the Devils in Shrouds
By Nicole Sadighi

27 years ago a sinister cloud swept across the bright day of Iran’s sunlight and brought with it a hurricane of nefarious and heinous afflictions, contaminating it with a rotten plague. This ancient land, which was the birthplace of the very first declaration of human rights in 500BC, is now home to backward uncivilized and savage decrees. It is quite astonishing how the regime continues to survive; however it is not very difficult to observe where their weaknesses lie.

The mullahcracy of the Islamic Republic in Iran has managed to stay in power by running the country with brutal Islamic laws and penal codes that have enforced limitations on the lives of the Iranian people, prohibiting them their fundamental human rights and controlling them by enforcing a reign of fear. The regime is based upon a belief that modern government should closely resemble the theocratic Muslim community of the early years of Islam in which the only legitimate rulers are the clergy. This primitive ideology has been wholly based upon a foundation of hate and abhorrence of all that is “unislamic” and the ruling clerics have an entourage of believers that are motivated by inciting hatred of their chosen enemies, namely America the Great Satan, Israel and all non-Muslims, in particular those who embrace western ideals. In fact they hold a great deal of resentment for a population so diverse in religion and ethnic backgrounds, that they have declared half the world as infidels!

However the most exploited recipients of this sinister detestation have been the Iranian people who have for 27 years suffered intimately in every aspect of their lives, everything from what they do, what they say, where they go and even what they think and believe. Above all the women and the young are at most risk of being the targets of the regimes wrath where they have suffered many afflictions.

Sadly once again there are reports of yet another Iranian woman who has been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery and under the Islamic Republic’s penal code this constitutes death by stoning. The “Etemad Daily” reported that the woman, named only as Soghra was found guilty of having an affair with her husband’s friend and as though stoning to death was not enough she has been given a 15 year jail sentence for aiding her lover to kill her husband.

Stoning is an age-old punishment and was once practiced in some parts of the world, but who would ever think that today, in this new millennium there are still people who are governed under such uncivilized and brutal laws? Such reality in the Islamic Republic of Iran, which particularly targets women is not as widely publicised. Under article 102 of the Penal Code: “states that married offenders (adulterers) are liable to stoning regardless of their gender, but the method laid for a man stipulates that he be buried up to his waist, for a woman up to her neck”. Article 104 “the stones should not be so large that a person dies after being hit with two, nor too small as to be defined as pebbles so that they do no damage at all, but must cause severe injury”. Not only, does stoning require burying a woman deeper than a man to avoid escape, it is also used against women more often than men. There is an irony in this cruel punishment. Even though the practice is applied to both men and women, because it is usually a punishment implemented in regards to offences like adultery, women are susceptible to be blamed and accused for social misbehavior offences. Therefore, it is more usual that stoning will be implemented against women than against men.

It is categorically evident that the Mullahcracy of the Islamic Republic has no concern for life and is demoniacally aroused by death and the crimson color of blood, it has an unscrupulous apatite for the merciless sufferings of women where Misogynist doesn’t even begin to express the absolute loathing they have of women.

According to WFAFI since the inception of the Mullahs rule in 1979 tens of thousands of women have been executed, mainly for their opposition to the policies of the ruling clerics and too many of those were pregnant. The cruelest kinds of tortures have been afflicted on female political prisoners who oppose the regime and are repeatedly raped, tortured and mutilated by dissection of limbs and gauging out eyes, whilst internationally the ruling clerics try to deny any responsibility, especially when there are occasions for a photo op in front of the international media, such as during the last so-called parliamentary elections where they attempted to display a jovial and democratic society.

Before the Islamic revolution, the National Iranian Oil Company “NIOC” produced over 6 million barrels of oil per day. Since the gas and oil industry has been politicized, today they are hard pressed to produce just over half that amount, in the meantime the population has doubled in size. Whilst there is economic hardship, high unemployment, gross depreciation of the Rial and high inflation the revolutionary government has been pounding its finances to develop weapons of mass destruction to fuel violence and thus nourishing all elements of instability for their own survival.

Meanwhile, in Tehran alone there are approximately 84,000 homeless women and girls who are subjected to sexual abuse and violence and 90% of those ends up in prostitution and city brothels or as young as 10 sold in the human trafficking market. The exposure of sex-slave networks in Iran has shown that many mullahs, police and judges are all involved in the abuse and sexual exploitation of the women and given the totalitarian rule most organised activities are known to the authorities. The most fantastic irony of this tragedy is that government officials are in the business of buying and selling young girls whilst emposing legislations against it! Women who have been arrested for prostitution say that they are forced to have sex with the police only later to be sentenced to death for “corrupting” society. Of course if a man rapes a 10-year-old girl and takes her as his wife, he is a good Muslim.

In religious dictatorship’s like Iran, one cannot appeal to the rule of law for justice for women and girls and trials are taken place with lack of due process, citizens continue to be tried and sentenced to death in the absence of sufficient procedural safeguards. Iran is a state run by paedophiles, rapists and murderers and the only measure of the regime’s success in controlling society is the depth with which they suppress the rights of women. The ruling mullahs have enforced sadistic rules and punishments on women, enslaving them in a gender apartheid system of segregation, forced veiling, second-class status, lashing, hangings and stoning to death.

Women and girls have no guarantees of freedom and rights and they live in a land ruled by blood lusting Misogynists who detest every characteristic of women. Under their version of Sharia law women are dehumanized in every aspect where they are physically, psychologically, intellectually, and morally inferior to men. The malice for women is engraved within the realms of the law that have encouraged and empowered men’s oldest chauvinist aversions, where wives, sisters and daughters are disposed to being at the receiving end of the men’s frustrations, their insecurities and anger with life. Dominating and inhibiting women has become the solution to men and society’s failures, where women have become the targets of their sense of supremacy.

Yet atypically the Iranian women’s freedom movement could be their most damaging weakness and a chink in the armour. Their resentment for women, in particular in western democratic societies where they deem the liberal women as the crippling force of society is perhaps their biggest fear, the deficiency that could be the handicap of their rule. Inasmuch as they know that where there are free women, there is democracy, where you have an empowered woman, you have freedom of choice and freedom will for all, where there is land of equality then there is liberty and the failure of despotism. The Mullahcracy has been all too foolish in exposing this trump card and their strategy of rule, thus the one sure way that this regime would lose its grip on power would be the administration of freedom for Iranian women like Soghra that would unquestionably illuminate and thus consume the Shadows of the Devils in Shrouds.
