The Wall Street Journal reported last night that the Obama administration is moving to remove the MEK from the State Department's designated list of terrorist organizations. While State Department officials reportedly say that Hillary Clinton has yet to make any final decision, it seems like vacating Camp Ashraf will be one of the pre-conditions to seal the deal. Reza Marashi, research director of the National Iranian American Council discusses.

As long as not related to Islamic thugs......
by Siavash300 on Thu May 17, 2012 08:56 PM PDTI shake the hands of anyone who wants to make that trip. No fear of Jews, Christian, Muslims and Bahai as long as they are not related to the Islamic gang who occupied Iran for 32 years. I am sure without shaking hands with those Islamic bastards, we all will have a good time in peace and harmony with high degree of friendship among us.

Maemoor's question
by Siavash300 on Thu May 17, 2012 06:13 PM PDT"...why dont u join us? " Maemoor
I would love to share all tragic events of Islamic devil to anyone. To tell them what Islamic monsters did to our people for last 32 years. I would love to show anyone the heartbreaking of crying mothers for their loved ones who were buried by Islamic thugs in the middle of the nights in the cemetary of Behesh e zahra. I would love to explain how our youths were victims of idea, or rahter the law of lizard eater arabs from 1400 years ago. The name of that law is FATWA. I would love to explain that law massacred over 20,000 of our brothers and sisters in the summer of 1988. I would love to explain how our people were tortured and imprisoned and finally being murdered by a bunch of the stinky Islamic ragheads. I would love to join in that tour of Tehran, but for sure I will never shake hands with those who are pro that monkey who calls himself "Iran president". I will respect the blood of my brothers and sisters who lost their sweet lives on streets of Iran in battle with Islamic devil. Unlike those who sell their country, their people for a few bucks from Islamic gang, I will never sell my people, my country to a bunch of Islamic thugs or rather half breed arab bastards. Never. Hope you do the same.

Siavash

In return mojahedin will have to obey what CIA tells them to do. I have no problem with this as long as they behave themselves democratic which I doubt knowing mojahedin and their dark past!!

As soon as we get on the bike in the oxgenless climate of tehran, in freakingly heavy traffic where buses and cars spit on u with their smokes and scorching sun makes sweat from 100 spots, Mousa will change his mind and wants to go back to his room in Azadi Hotel!!

Can't we just all live in peace and leave the politics to politicians like those in the democratic societies?
soosan khanom: please help me out instead of shouting at me.
by mousa67 on Wed May 16, 2012 09:07 PM PDTany acts of "terrorism" that this iranian group MEK is claimed to have committed seems to be against the islamic regime. islamic regime is designated as #1 terrorist sponsoring state by US government. using your line of arguement, united states army (god bless and protect all our brave troops) would also become "terrorist", because they killed bin laden and thousands of other muslim terrorists. is this what you are saying?
Missing places in Mamoor's tour
by Siavash300 on Wed May 16, 2012 09:01 PM PDTMamoor missed the most important part of Tehran to show to Mousa in their tour.
A trip to the cemetary of Behesh e Zahra where thousands and thousands of Iranian freedom fighters against Islamic thugs were laid silently. The UNmark mass graves of our brothers and sisters who were buried in the middle of nights by stinky ruling mullahs. The unmark mass graves of those who had been massacred by law of lizard eater arabs so called FATWA in summer of 1988. The scene of crying mothers for her loved ones is also missing in mamoor's tour. The cry of those mothers whom their virgin daughters were being raped the night before their execution.
Good move
by MRX1 on Wed May 16, 2012 08:14 PM PDTIn life some times you have to fight fire with fire (there is simply no other option) . your are dealing with bunch of muderous psycho pat in charge of IRI, who better than MEK to take them on? in this case the enemy of enemy is my friend.

by hamsade ghadimi on Wed May 16, 2012 01:21 PM PDTa.o., the national iranian american guardian council is more secretive than the national iranian guardian council for obvious reasons. and trita is not really their president. he's the spiritual leader.
disclaimer: i cannot independently verify the above facts due to the secretive nature of niagc. :)
mm jan, i don't think "long live iran" can distinguish between niac bashers and m.e.k. supporters, or between anti-niac (anti-iri) and aipac. there's hope for you.

Does anyone have a copy of NIAC's Bylaws?
by Anonymous Observer on Wed May 16, 2012 01:03 PM PDTI'm just curious to know how its president is supposed to be elected (or selected for that matter) and what is the term that the president is supposed to serve.
I think that discussion is relevant since NIAC supporters and self proclaimed members always talk about how undemocratic the MEK is.
benyamin, it's true that
by hamsade ghadimi on Wed May 16, 2012 12:22 PM PDTbenyamin, it's true that it's laughable. an undemocratic lobby group of a terrorist regime opposing delisting of an undemocratic terrorist group opposing the same terroristic regime. it's laughable and yet sad. it is also relevant to discuss who is opposing delisting niac and who is for it. i think that u.s. is listening to the anti-iri (and anti-iranian) arabs: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
You bring up a good point about undemoctratic organizations
by Anonymous Observer on Wed May 16, 2012 01:07 PM PDTAnd how they claim to be democratic when their leaders hold decades of unelected posts. Look at NIAC for example. It calls itself a "council" when it has never held an election for its president, and its current "leader for life," Trita Parsi has been holding the position for more than a decade now. Who elected this guy to be the head of the "council" anyway? What a dictatorship!
This is laughable!!!
by Benyamin on Wed May 16, 2012 12:10 PM PDTWether the NIAC is tied to IRI or not it doesn`t change the facts that MEK is actually a terrorist organization and also extremely un-democratic!!!
The MEK leader Mr. Masood Rajavi has been in his position for almost 40 years! what kind of democratic organization MEK really is if its leader is the only brain that works in that organization and no one else has been good enough to lead in 40 years!!!!?
Ms maryam Rajavi which is Masood Rajavi`s wife has been in her position for at least 20 years! then again a couple are running everything together and no one else is trusted to lead! what kind of democracy is that?
MEK is a terrorist organiazation and if the USA is going to de-list it as terrorist organiazation it will hurt little reputation the USA has before every ordinary Iranian! That is the biggest mistake the USA can make!

NIAC lobby respond!
by Fred on Wed May 16, 2012 10:37 AM PDTWhile at any chance Iranians in Iran get they shout “death to Russia”, NIAC lobby appears on the Putin network with complete disregard for what Iranians say.
This Marashi chap who is a former Tehran based employee of Atieh Bahar consultancy, a Rafsanjani front for doing business with foreign oil companies, and his colleague, the other NIAC lobby employee Abdi, feel no irony in appearing on the Putin network.
They keep calling MEK, terrorist, which according to US they were, but fail to mention that they are on a Putin network which supports Islamist Rapist terrorists in Iran and their ally in Syria.
