Dear Professor Mamad,

There are many errors of fact and interpretation in your post. Due to lack of time, let me just deal with one.

Khomeini promised to go to Qom and not be involved in ruling the country. But he LIED. Let provide a few example to show you are so wrong on basic facts.

1. Even from Paris, he had Mohsen Sazegara (and a few others0 to form the IRGC.

2. From Qom he gave full support and authority to Ayatollah Khalkhali to form the Revolutionary Court and execute soooooo many people against the wishes and authority of the Provisional Government.

3. He formed the Revolutionary Council [Shoray Enghelab], which interfered and undermined the Provisional Government.

4. He allowed the formation of the Islamic Republican Party, a party that attempted to seize full power for Khomeini and the fundamentalist gang. IRP opposed and fought against Bazargan and then Bani Sadr.

5. From the get go, in Qom, Khomeini issued rules that undermined the Provisional Govt. For example, in the first week of March 1979 (only a few weeks after seizing power), Khomeini issue the order that all women have to wear hijab. When the brave women came to the streets in huge numbers, the Hezbollahi thugs attacked them with knives and chomagh.

6. Then in April 1979, Khomeini orders that ALL FEMALE judges are dismissed.

7. Then in August 1979, Khomeini attacks Ayandegan and the freedom of the press. Ayandegan is closes and the Hezbollahi thugs attack the protesters with guns, knives, and chomagh.

8. ALL of these are before the terrorist fundamentalist students taking over the U.S. embassy.

 

 

In conclusion, you are wrong on the basic facts. Khomeini promised that he would not become part of the govt. But from the get go, he imposed his rules and undermined the Provisional Government and imposed the rule of the clerics.

Khomeini and the fundamentalists were the number one problem imposing brutal dictatorship in Iran. JM, Bazargan, and later Bani Sadr were among the few forces that struggles against the fascistic rule of Khomeini. The communist groups and the PMOI made a lot of serious mistakes. Fadaian, PMOI, Peykar wrongly believed that the main contradiction was between imperialism and anti-imperialism; so they regarded the liberal democrats as their main enemy. Fadain and PMOI strongly supported the anti-imperialist Khomeini instead of the liberals. It was a suicidal policy. In actual fact, the main contradiction was between democracy and dictatorship. JM, Bazargan and Bani Sadr presented the democratic possibility and Khomeini presented the fascistic dictatorship. The left was fooled by the anti-imperialist rhetoric of Khomeini and tens of thousands of them got mass executed by the anti-imperialist fascist element. PMOI did realize their mistake and changed in late 1980, early 1981, and sided with Bani Sadr.

 

Unfortunately, I do not have the time to debunk the rest of your post. Let me just reiterate. If we do not have comprehensive economic sanctions on the terrorist regime, then the most likely outcome will be Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities. Your writing are contradictory on the terrorist regime’s nukes. On the one hand you say there is no military dimention; but in the quote Fred brings of your earlier post, you write the terrorist regime wants to have

"the ability to make the bomb on a short notice, it becomes unattackable"

 

Either the regime's nuclear program has a military dimention (capability to produce a bomb on short or not so short notice) or it is SOLELY for non-military purposes. 

 

 

 

 

If you believe what you said (quoted by Fred) then, that belief is justification for Israel in their mind to protect their national interest to destroy the terrorist regime’s nuclear facilities BEFORE the terrorist regime gets the "ability to make the bomb on a short notice." YOUR explanation is even worse. If Israel wants to abuse this or that group as it has been doing, then what in the world the terrorist regime having nuclear bombs has got anything to do with the Israeli policies towards Palestinians and Lebanese. Are you saying that the fundamentalist regime with nukes would intervene and act against Israel. The question is with conventional or nuclear weapons. If your postion is if or when the fundamentalist regime gets nukes, then it could go to war with Israel, then Israel has two choice: go to war with the fundamentalist regime BEFORE it get the nukes or go to war with the fundamentalist regime AFTER it gets nukes. According to YOUR position, it is then in the national interest of Israel to go to war with the fundamentalist regime before it gets the nukes. Do YOU see where your assumptions and positions lead to?

 

 

My position is that the problem is the NATURE of the fundamentalist terrorist regime. It has to be sent to the garbage can of history for a variety of reasons. It is in Iran’s national interest to get rid of these reactionary brutal terrorists. As the terrorist regime develops its nuclear capabilities, Israel (and probably the US) would NOT remain inactive. They WILL use their military to destroy the nuclear facilities.

So far, my solution is the ONLY solution to our problem. If we do not do anything, we will see Israeli military strikes on the nuclear facilities. YOU do not offer any policy that would solve the problem. I have offered a policy that at a minimum will buy time. And hopefully a UNSC comprehensive sanctions would lead to the overthrow of the regime. That would be wonderful. The possibility of this wonderful outcome requires that we try it. Of course it will be painful. But all the other alternatives are MUCH MUCH more painful.

The Doc says:

 “In my opinion, we need to read the history exactly as it happened, not the way we would have liked it to happen. That is the only way we can hope to learn from it. “

Great recommendation, alas the Islamist nuke lover does not follow it himself. For instance where he says: 

“Ayatollah Khomeini promised that he would go back to Qom. He did. Only when the "war" between the moderate forces led by Mohandes Bazargan and the right wing started to get out of control, he went back to Tehran. He felt that the Revolution was unravelling as the result of the infighting.”

"He felt” that is not history as it happened, it is justifying what happened by getting into the head of one player, here the maniacal murderous Khomeini. And the job our nuke loving Doc does in absolving his wannabe, the perennially clueless Bazargan, of his share of the crime and the way Khomeini played him in the role of useful idiot is nothing to sneeze at.

And when it comes to justifying the Islamists’ illegal full cycle nuke programs, to no surprise, the nuke lover has number of justification that only his likeminded would comprehend. In one he telepathically gets into whole lot of heads where he says:

They feel that they would not be able to treat the Palestinians the way they are, occupying their land, stealing their resources, creating the largest jail on earth in Gaza, and humiliating Palestinians on a daily basis in the West Bank, or keep occupying the Golan Heights, or invading southern Lebanon whenever they want.”

There are other Islamist defense  in the nuke lover’s apologia that are by now standard M.O. specially the one that tries to absolve their Ebrahim Yazdi and his gang.  

 The piece de resistance shall remain Doc’s previous crux declaration:

“The crux of the issue about Iran's nuclear program is, in my opinion, as follows: If Iran has the ability to make the bomb on a short notice, it becomes unattackable. That is not something that the US and Israel can tolerate. They want to be the hegemone(SIC) of the Middle East. “

 


Mammad

Dr. Kazemzadeh

by Mammad on

While I sympathize with many things that you say in your response to IranDokht, I must also correct you regarding a few issues, and also express my opinion.

1. Ayatollah Khomeini promised that he would go back to Qom. He did. Only when the "war" between the moderate forces led by Mohandes Bazargan and the right wing started to get out of control, he went back to Tehran. He felt that the Revolution was unravelling as the result of the infighting. Although the students who took the US embassy were mostly Islamic leftists, what they did helped overthrow Bazargan's government.

2. He promised a democratic Islamic Republic. The first draft of the Constitution did not have Velaayat-e Faghih in it, and had been drafted after the French Constitution with a strong Prime Minister. Bazargan presented it to Ayatollah Khomeini. He agreed with it and signed off to it, and asked Bazargan to put it in a referendum. Bazargan, out of his honesty and integrity, made a historical mistake. He reminded Ayatollah Khomeini that he had promised that he would form a constitutional assembly to draft it. So, Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the formation of that assembly. That became Assembly of Experts. In that Assembly, two groups pushed for VF, not just one. One was the right-wing Rouhaniyat, and one was Hasan Ayat and his group that were followers of Mozaffar Baghaei.

3. Badmouthing Ghotbzadeh and Bani Sadr will not get us anywhere. Ghotbzadeh lost his life after he realized that the system that was taking shape was not not what he had struggled for for decades. Bani Sadr took on some of the Ayatollahs, lost and fled the country. As for Yazdi, he and his group have been opposed to the system, and in particular the VF. You seem to be mad at these people because you seem to think that (I am only guessing) if they had not helped the Ayatollah, the revolution would have taken a different path, or had not occured at all. In my opinion, both are wrong.

4. Fada'eeyan-e Eslam during the era of Dr. Mosaddegh, though similar in some ways to the present right wings, were not the same. Mixing the two is a mistake. In addition, only one faction of the present right-wing has the similarities with the FE. Yes, they may pay lip service to the FE, but they are not the same (even though they both are reactionaries). For example, the Sepah commanders do not think like the FE, and they are a very important part of the power structure in Iran.

5. You seem to blame Ayatollah Khomeini for supporting Ayatollah Kashani, more than Kashani himself. It was Ayatollah Kashani that stabbed Dr. Mosaddegh in the back, not Ayatollah Khomeini. The latter was a junior cleric at that time. Of course, it is really bad the the latter supported the former for what he had done. But, in practical terms, it means nothing. Plus, that was another one of many of Ayatollah Khomeini's contradictory positions. how can somebody be so vehemently opposed to the Shah, but support Ayatollah Kashani, and criticize Dr. Mosaddegh? 

In my opinion, we need to read the history exactly as it happened, not the way we would have liked it to happen. That is the only way we can hope to learn from it.

As for your solution for getting out of the present impass:

1. Some people like you advocate sanctions, by saying that they are opposed to attacking Iran. In my opinion, sanctions ARE low-intensity war. The UN statistics show that sanctions against Iraq killed at least 500,000 Iraqi children. The number of Iraqi civilians killed as a result of the invasion ranges anywhere from 200,000 to 1 million, which is completely comparable with the sanctions' casualties.

2. You are wrong about sanctions and the apartheid regime. The AR was defeated not because of the sanctions, but because the white minority decided that if the AR continues, the armed struggle will destroy its economic power. This is not just my opinion, but that of many who have studied this in detail. The whites gave up the political power, but preserve their economic power, which is perhaps even more important. Many studies indicate that sanctions played a minor role in the overthrow of the AR. This is particularly true because the U.S. was not really supporting the sanctions, even though the rest of the world did more or less. Led by Chester Crocker, Assistant Secretary of State for African affairs, the Reagan administration strongly opposed the sanctions, and led what it called "constructive engagement."

Regarding Israel and Iran's non-existent bomb:

In my opinion, you are wrong. Many Israeli leaders, including Tzipi Livni, the foreign minister, and others have said that (even) if Iran makes the bomb, it would not pose an existential threat to Israel. Just google it with these same words to find it. In my opinion, Israel is opposed to this because,

1. They feel that they would not be able to treat the Palestinians the way they are, occupying their land, stealing their resources, creating the largest jail on earth in Gaza, and humiliating Palestinians on a daily basis in the West Bank, or keep occupying the Golan Heights, or invading southern Lebanon whenever they want.

2. But, the most important reason Israel is opposed to this is, in my opinion, as follows. An Iran armed with the bomb, or being in a position to make it, would reverse immigration to Israel. Many will leave. The psychological effects will be too strong. Under such conditions, Israel will not be sustainable. So, one may say that this is the same as an existential threat, which may very well be, but not in the physical/Holocaust type of way.

Q

Economic Sanctions will help no one

by Q on

I'm disappointed that you can't see that the Taliban element of the IRI is waiting for just such a chance to take out their rivals and make it a true dictatorship.

I'm also disappointed that you don't understand the nationalistic support currently enjoyed by the IRI, and the increase of this support with every unjust action pushed by US and Israel. No matter what the US does now, it will be seen as an Israeli move. And you damn well know that no REAL sanctions will be enforced unless US does serious arm-twisting.

Anyway, I hope you realize, especially after what happened to Iraq (also started with sanctions) that supporting sanctions against Iran is a non-starter with most Iranians. You may not believe it, but it's a fact.

You are missing an improtant point in your book thesis. As ID said, the religious establishment was no fan of secularism and that was not a secret to anyone. But both Kashani and Khomeini were staunch anti-Imperialists and the former had been exiled before by the British. However, Kashani would never gone as far as to "support" the coup without the millions of dollars that Kermit Roosevelt spent paying mobs to assault clerics and saying, the attackers were Mossadegh supporters.

You want to say Khomeini was against Mossadegh, but your thesis fails because no one knew about the US-funded propaganda campaign against Mossadegh.

The sociological test is how was Kashani (and by extension Khomeini) feeling about Mossadegh before US/British got involved and the true answer is that they were both supporters and enthusastic backers of nationalization.

Iran Dokht jaan,

The answer is that JM, PMOI, and leftists did NOT know that Khomeini was a supporter of Sheikh Fazlollah Nouri, and Kashani. That Khomeini hated Mossadegh. They assumed that Khomeini was traditional and had a few minor conservative values like most clerics.

Khomeini consistently LIED. Khomeini surrounded himself by the likes of Yazdi, and Ghotbzadeh, and Bani Sadr. So, a lot of people were mislead.

Khomeini explicitly said that he does not want to be the leader, that he would go to Qom and be engaged in his religious activities at masjid and hozeh. Khomeini did not say that he will be Supreme Leader, all papers will be censored, women have to wear hijab, etc.

 

The fight between JM and the fundamentalist regime is a fight between those who want a democratic secular republic and those who want to continue this fascistic regime.

In 1978-79, I, too, was a teenager.

 

What the passages of my book show is that Islamic fundamentalist forces collaborated with CIA, Gen. Zahedi, and Shah, before, during and after the coup. The fundamentalist LIE about their origins of their hostility to the US in order to fool and deceive young Iranians. Unfortunately, many are suffering from historical amnesia and lack of knowledge of our history.

Anyone promoting support or appeasement of the ultra right wing fundamentalist regime is helping this regime. The question is how to send this fascistic regime to the garbage can of history. There are many opposition groups promoting various methods of struggles and policies. I leave that to each person to decide what group or what policy they like.

I can tell you what the JM promote.

And I can tell you what I promote; which is not always what the JM’s policy is. For example, JM does not promote economic sanctions. I strongly promote sanctions like those imposed on the apartheid regime in South Africa which were promoted by Nelson Mandela and the ANC.

I welcome anyone who has a better policy to end this nightmarish regime.

About 1 minute before I checked this site, I finished an op-ed on what should be done to prevent an Israeli military strike on the nuclear facilities in Iran. Let me be honest: I find many of the posters in this site stupid and childish. They think that if they say Israel does not dare attack Iran, then Israel will be afraid and would not attack. I read more hysterical and emotional and illogical stuff here than sane and rational writings. Let me state this as simply and explicitly as possible:

If nothing changes in the next several months, Israel will attack nuclear sites. If the terrorist regime retaliated with chemical bombs, what do you think Israel will do? They will use nuclear weapons.

 

It is immaterial whether in fact the terrorist regime has a clandestine nuclear weapons program or will get nuclear weapons, or if it did it will use them to annihlate Israel. PERCEPTIONS of reality determine behavior. The PERCEPTIONS of Israelis is that the terrorist regime is developing nukes, and that they cannot be deterred and that they will use it to regime eshghalgar zionisti az safhe jahan mahv shavad.

You put yourself in the shoes of Israelis. About 5 to 6 million of their parents and grandparents and kin were mass murdered. The regime’s official slogan is "Marg bar Israel." The regime gives weapons to groups that kill Israelis. The regime actively undemines those Palestinians that want to reach the two-state solution. The regime’s ideology is shehadat-talabi and Imam Zamani and Jihadi. If YOU were in Israel, would you wait and see whether or not the fundamentalist terrorists who have no problems whatsoever in mass murdering their own people would do what they say and say they believe?

In my analysis that Israel will bomb the nuclear facilities. I have no idea what the hell the fundamentalist terrorist regime would do.

The solution I offer in my op-ed is UN Security Council sanctions on purchase of crude oil and natural gas and sale of refined petrolium. My hope is that this would result in substantial weakening of the terrorist regime, they enabling and empowering the Iranian people to overthrow the regime ourselves.

If YOU have a policy that has a better chance of success, please offer it. If we do not do what my policy proposal is, then the only outcome will be Israeli strikes. Putting one’s head in the sand (or snow) and cussing Zionists, and neo-cons, and this or that will NOT help and iota with the situation.

We can jump up and down until we are blue in the face, that will NOT prevent the Israelis government from doing what they think is in their SURVIVAL.

 

Merely jumping up and down, and cussing Israel will in actual fact result in Israeli military strikes with possible horrible results. But doing what I propose (UNSC economic sanctions) has a good change of getting rid of the fascist fundamentalist terrorist regime and thus help the Iranian people to establish freedom, democracy and human rights, and maintain our independence.

What you suggest will result in Israeli attacks. What I suggest will (more likely than not) result in democracy and freedom.

 

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards,

Masoud

Dear Masoud

by IRANdokht on

I have a 31 year old question to ask.

Didn't we all know that Khomeini was not a fan of Dr Mossadegh, Dr Shariati, and communism even 31 years ago?

Why did the JM, MKO and all the left allow this man to take power? why didn't they stop him from hijacking the revolution? Why did they turn their back to their own ideals and follow a vengeful, hateful and insane man?

I was a teenager then and I kept asking myself  this question. Why did a teenager see what's going on and so many intellectuals and educated folks who were much savvier in the matters of politics didn't?

The end doesn't and should not justify the means. Just like today, the removal of this regime doesn't justify shaking the hand of the powers who are advocating military action and economical sanctions against Iranians. 

I hope for a free and secular Iran. Hopefully we all learn from the lessons of the past and do not help replacing a foreign and cruel mindset with military occupants.

best wishes for a prosperous, peaceful and happy new year.

ديدگاه امام خميني درباره مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني با استعمار خارجي و استبداد داخلي




  • تاريخ درس هاي فراواني براي نسل هاي بشر ذخيره كرده است كه هر كدام از آنها مي توانند پشتوانه اي نيرومند براي تحول و تحرك به وجود آورند و راه روشن « حق » را از بيراهه هاي مختلف « باطل » جدا كنند و بينش و بصيرتي بيافرينند كه در پرتو آن طي مراحل رشد و كمال و صعود به قلل عزت و قدرت تسهيل گردد. اين بينش ها و آگاهي ها هم داراي جلوه هاي اعتقادي و معنوي هم ابعاد فكري و فرهنگي و هم جنبه هاي اجتماعي و سياسي مي باشند و همه اين بينش ها در تمام ابعاد جهت نيل به حيات برتر و سالم و پويا و تامين سلامت و سعادت براي انسان ها لازم و ضروري مي باشند.
    از جمله مقاطع تاريخي كه در دل خود درس و پيام هاي فراوان ذخيره ساخته و براي نسل امروز و فردا راهگشا مي باشد تاريخ معاصر ايران است و از جمله حركت ها و مبارزاتي كه از مردان بزرگ در اين مقطع به ثبت رسيده است قيام و مجاهدات عالم نستوه آيت الله كاشاني است .
    آيت الله كاشاني داراي كارنامه اي درخشان از جهاد و مبارزه با دشمنان دين مي باشد و تمام لحظات زندگي خويش را در مسير صيانت از دين و سرزمين هاي اسلامي و از جمله سرزمين ايران و ملت مسلمان آن سپري نمود و از همه سو آماج حملات مخالفان و معاندان قرار گرفت .
    در ديدگاه هاي حضرت امام خميني درباره تاريخ معاصر ايران حجم و جايگاهي از اين انديشه هاي سياسي و رهنمودهاي تاريخي به زندگي و مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني اختصاص يافته است . آنچه در اين نوشتار به تحليل و توضيح پيرامون آن مي پردازيم چند نمونه از آن مجموعه مي باشد.
    الف ـ اين جبهه ملي ...ـ در يكي از روزنامه هايشان كه من ديدم و ناراحت شدم ـ از ميرزاي شيرازي كه قضيه تنباكو را درست كرده تا آقاي كاشاني تمام علمايي كه در خلال مشروطيت براي اسلام كار كردند ميرزاي شيرازي براي اسلام كار كرده است آقاي كاشاني براي اسلام كار كرده شيخ فضل الله كرده تمام اين ها را به آنها بد گفتند! آن روزنامه جبهه ملي را پيدا بكنيد ميرزاي شيرازي را متهم كرده به دروغگويي ! شيخ فضل الله را اين قدر فحش داده ! جرم شيخ فضل الله بيچاره چه بود جرم شيخ فضل الله اين بود كه قانون بايد اسلامي باشد. جرم شيخ فضل الله اين بود كه احكام قصاص غيرانساني نبست انساني است آقاي كاشاني هم همين طور جرم اين ها همين است كه اين ها عقيده شان اين است كه بايد اسلام در ايران پياده بشود و شما مي گوييد كه احكام غرب مترقي است ! » (1 )
    حضرت امام خميني در بررسي مجاهدات آيت الله كاشاني اولا به سابقه تاريخي اين جهاد و تلاش مي پردازد كه در سيره و روش سياسي ساير علماي بزرگ نيز متجلي مي گردد. ثانيا به يك جريان مرموز غرب زده و مشتاق به استقرار و سيطره و حاكميت قوانين غربي به جاي قوانين اسلامي اشاره مي كند.
    در رويكرد تاريخي به موضوع مجاهدت علماي دين ابتدا ميرزاي شيرازي و عناد و مخالفت جريان غرب گراي ايران كه نام و عنوان « ملي گرايي » را با خود مي كشد و با حركت ميرزا مخالفت مي ورزد مطرح مي شود.
    در سال 1307 هـ . ق قراردادي موسوم به « رژي » بين دولت ايران و نماينده انگليس به نام « ژرژ تالبوت » منعقد مي گردد كه براساس آن امتياز انحصار خريد و فروش تنباكو به مدت پنجاه سال به انگليس واگذار مي گردد و به اين ترتيب سلطه اين كشور استعماري بر ايران از جنبه اقتصادي آغاز مي شود و براساس مستندات تاريخي زمينه ها براي سلطه فرهنگي و سياسي نيز آماده مي گردد. مرحوم ميرزاي شيرازي با مسئوليت مرجعيت و رهبريت ديني با اين قرارداد استعماري به مبارزه برمي خيزد و با رهبري علماي ايران و حضور گسترده مردم مسلمان سرانجام جنبش تنباكو به پيروزي مي رسد و ناصرالدين شاه قاجار قرارداد مزبور را لغو مي نمايد.
    جريان غرب گراي داخلي از همان زمان با حركت ميرزا مخالفت مي كند و اين مخالفت از آنجا ناشي مي شود كه اين جريان فكري و سياسي وابسته به بيگانه است و قيام و حركت ميرزا به نفي سلطه بيگانگان مي انجامد!
    در دومين رويكرد تاريخي امام خميني قيام و مجاهدت پرشور فقيه مبارز شهيد آيت الله شيخ فضل الله نوري مطرح مي گردد.
    شيخ فضل الله از رهبران نهضت مشروطه ايران به شمار مي رفت لكن پس از مشاهده نفوذ غرب گرايان وابسته به استعمار انگليس در نهضت مشروطه و مصادره آن به نفع انگليس با مشروطه اي كه تغيير ماهيت داده و از اسلامي به غربي و انگليسي تبدل يافته بود مخالفت مي ورزد و شعار « مشروطه مشروعه » يعني مشروطه اي را كه بر مبناي صدور حكم اوليه مشروطه بايد با محوريت دين و احكام و قوانين مترقي آن شكل گيرد مطرح مي نمايد و به طور طبيعي با شيفتگان غرب مواجه مي شود. اين جريان اگرچه در مشروطه نام و عنوان خاص و سامان يافته اي نداشت ولي در دوره هاي بعد تحت عنوان جبهه ملي و حزب ملت ايران و نهضت آزادي و گروه هاي ملي ـ مذهبي به فعاليت عليه حاكميت اسلام پرداختند.
    در نگاه حضرت امام خميني مجاهدت خستگي ناپذير آيت الله كاشاني نيز اولا در تداوم حركت ميرزاي شيرازي و شيخ فضل الله نوري به ظهور و بروز درآمد. ثانيا محور اصلي اين مجاهدت وقفه ناپذير اسلام و قوانين مترقي و زندگي ساز آن بود. ثالثا از ابتداي اين حركت مخالفت سرسختانه ايادي داخلي استعمار و شيفتگان غرب و انگليس و آمريكا به شكل حركت هاي مرموز ملي ! و در عين حال غربي ! آغاز شد و جبهه ملي و ساير احزاب ملي گرا اين عناد و مخالفت عليه اسلام و رهبري آيت الله كاشاني و اهداف والاي او را ساماندهي كردند.
    ب ـ حضرت امام خميني پس از اين رويكرد تاريخي ـ كه معمولا در انديشه هاي سياسي آن پيشواي بزرگ سابقه دارد و در بررسي تمام جنبش هاي اسلامي به رهبري فقها و علماي مبارز اسلام به همين شيوه عمل مي كنند و به مصاديق اشاره مي نمايند ـ به طور مستقل به بررسي مجاهدات عالم نستوه مرحوم آيت الله كاشاني مي پردازند.
    امام خميني درباره گستردگي و وسعت مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني چنين مي فرمايند :
    « آقاي كاشاني از جواني در نجف بودند و يك روحاني مبارز بودند. مبارزه با استعمار آن وقت البته انگلستان بود مبارزه با او. در ايران هم كه آمدند تمام زندگيشان صرف همين معنا شد و من از نزديك ايشان را مي شناختم ... بعدش ديدند كه اگر يك روحاني در ميدان باشد لابد « اسلام » را در كار مي آورد اين حتمي است و همين طور هم بود. از اين جهت شروع كردند به جوسازي . » (2 )
    اولين موضوع در اين سخنان مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني با استعمارگران انگليسي در عراق مي باشد.
    در جنگ جهاني اول دولت عثماني كه مجموعه سرزمين هاي اسلامي آن روز از جمله عراق را تحت حكومت داشت با آلمان متحد گرديد. در نقطه مقابل انگلستان قرار داشت كه به همراه متحدين خود با جبهه دولت عثماني و آلمان در جنگ و ستيز بود. نيروهاي انگليس در اين نبرد براي اشغال عراق حركت كردند و ابتدا در اثر ضعف فرمانده نظامي عثماني شهرهاي فاو و بصره را به اشغال خويش درآوردند. از همين جا علماي مبارز اسلام براي مقابله با نيروهاي اشغالگر انگليسي به تشكيل جبهه پرداختند و با صدور حكم جهاد به نبرد مسلحانه با انگليسيان اهتمام ورزيدند.
    آيت الله كاشاني در مجموعه جبهه علماي مبارزي چون آيت الله سيدمحمود حيدري آيت الله سيدمصطفي كاشاني شيخ فتح الله اصفهاني و سيدعلي داماد و گروهي ديگر به رهبري انقلاب عراق پرداختند و به بسيج و ساماندهي نيروهاي مردمي مجاهدين عراقي و عشاير همت گماشتند. در اين ميان آيت الله كاشاني به دليل جواني و شور فراوان جهاد در راه دين در صف اول پيكار قرار داشت و مسئوليت سركشي به جبهه هاي مختلف و بررسي شرايط و وضعيت آن ها را بر دوش مي كشيد.
    جبهه اصلي علماي اسلام در كوت العماره عراق قرار داشت و مبارزات سخت آنان همراه با نيروهاي رزمنده مردمي باعث زمين گير شدن قواي انگليس گشت و در اين مقطع از مبارزات انگليسي ها متحمل شكست و خسارت سنگين و دادن كشته و مجروح شدند و خود را تسليم قواي اسلام كردند.
    اين پيروزي ها با مجاهدات و نقش آفريني آيت الله كاشاني در برخي نقاط ديگر استمرار يافت ولي در نهايت قواي انگليس عراق را به اشغال درآورد و دست نشاندگان خود را در آن سرزمين حاكم گرداند و از همين جا بود كه فشار و تعقيب عليه آيت الله كاشاني شدت گرفت و پس از آن كه « سرپرسي كاكس » نماينده انگليس در عراق شرايطي براي صلح از جمله تسليم آيت الله كاشاني و 16 نفر ديگر از علماي مبارز اسلام را كه در كادر رهبري انقلاب قرار داشتند مطرح كرد به توصيه علماي عراق آيت الله كاشاني عراق را ترك نمود و به ايران وارد شد.
    دومين موضوع در سخنان امام خميني مجاهدات آيت الله كاشاني در ايران است كه با تعبير « در ايران هم كه آمدند تمام زندگيشان صرف همين معنا شد » مبارزات اين عالم نستوه را ارج مي نهند.
    آيت الله كاشاني و همراهان ابتدا به كرمانشاه و پس از آن به قم آمدند و از آنجا تصميم به حركت به سوي تهران گرفتند . (3 )


  • مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني در ايران را مي توان در محورهاي ذيل مورد اشاره قرار داد :
    1 ـ مبارزه و مخالفت با رضاخان كه با كودتاي انگليسي روي كار آمد و قدرت را به طور مطلق در دست گرفت . او ابتدا تظاهر به دينداري كرد و به برخي از مراسم ديني همچون عزاداري حضرت امام حسين (ع ) پرداخت و به مرور وقتي جاي پاي خود را محكم كرد به استحاله اسلام و مذهب زدايي روي آورد و با روحانيت و حوزه هاي علميه و ارزش هاي اسلامي به ستيز پرداخت و جناياتي مرتكب شد كه در اوراق تاريخ ثبت است .
    آيت الله كاشاني همچون ساير عالمان مسئول و متعهد به مخالفت با رضاخان پرداخت و اعمال و جنايات ضداسلامي او را محكوم نمود.
    2 ـ مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني با استعمارگران انگليسي در ايران تداوم يافت و با شناخت دقيقي كه آنان از اين عالم نستوه داشتند به توطئه عليه او پرداختند و سعي كردند به تعقيب و دستگيري و زنداني اين مجاهد بزرگ بپردازند. به همين منظور با آن كه يك بار با هجوم به محل زندگي او موفق به اين كار نشدند و همين امر باعث يك سال مبارزه مخفيانه آيت الله كاشاني عليه استعمار انگليس شد سرانجام در اثر تعقيب هاي مكرر انگليسي ها او توسط قواي متفقين دستگير شد و در زندان روس ها در رشت زنداني گرديد. پس از مدتي اين عالم مبارز را به زندان انگليسي ها در اراك و پس از آن به زنداني در كرمانشاه منتقل كردند و مورد آزار و شكنجه هاي فراوان قرار دادند. او هرگز در زير اين فشارها و شكنجه ها تسليم نشد و در همان حال و با شدت بيماري خطاب به افسران انگليسي اعلام كرد : « اگر در زندان شما بميرم ننگ ابدي بر شما خواهد بود و اگر سالم بيرون آيم كاري خواهم كرد كه شير نفت به روي انگلستان بسته شود. »
    آيت الله كاشاني پس از يكسال و چهار ماه اسارت در زندان انگليسي ها در 24 مرداد 1324 هـ . ش آزاد شد و مورد استقبال پرشور مردم قرار گرفت .
    3 ـ يكي از ابعاد مجاهدات آيت الله كاشاني مخالفت و مبارزه با قرارداد استعماري نفت بود كه توسط انگليس بر ايران تحميل شده بود. او همان طور كه با صراحت و شجاعت در تمام عرصه هاي مبارزات سياسي حضور داشت در اين عرصه نيز در كنار ساير نيروها وارد ميدان شد و اعلام كرد ملي شدن صنعت نفت در ايران باعث مي شود تا اين ثروت بزرگ كه خداوند متعال به ملت ايران عطا نموده است از دست دشمنان خارج شده و به صاحبان حقيقي آن برسد و غاصبين از ادامه سيطره بر ملت ايران و گسترش آن در ابعاد ديگر نااميد گردند. تلاش هاي اين عالم نستوه و ساير نيروها موجب گشت تا اين ثروت خدادادي از سلطه استعمار بيرون آيد و به ملت ايران باز گردد.
    4 ـ مبارزه با محمدرضا پهلوي و عناصر و مهره هاي اصلي او همچون قوام و رزم آرا و جلوگيري از استبداد داخلي كه زمينه ساز و بستر اوليه نفوذ و سيطره استعمار خارجي بود از ديگر ابعاد و جلوه هاي مهم مبارزات آيت الله كاشاني به شمار مي رود . اين مبارزات داراي مراحل مختلف مي باشد و اوج آن را بايد در قيام 30 تير كه رهبري هاي خيره كننده اين عالم نستوه و حضور گسترده مردم مسلمان همراه بود دانست . اين قيام كه سرانجام به پيروزي رسيد موجب عقب نشيني و شكست شاه و مهره هاي او و به نخست وزيري رسيدن دكتر مصدق شد.
    ج ـ با آن كه رهبري ها مجاهدات جانفشاني ها و شجاعت بي نظير آيت الله كاشاني باعث به قدرت رسيدن مصدق و نيروهاي ملي شد متاسفانه مصدق و جبهه ملي پس از آن كه به اهداف خود رسيدند عناد و مخالفت عليه روحانيت و چهره شاخص آن در آن عصر يعني آيت الله كاشاني را يكي از اهداف اصلي و خط مشي هاي بنيادي و محوري خود قرار دادند و با يك جنگ رواني تمام عيار شخصيت والاي او را هتك نمودند و با ايجاد بحران و تحركاتي شبيه به آنچه در نهضت مشروطه و عليه فقيه مبارز آيت الله شيخ فضل الله نوري به وجود آمد او را منزوي و خانه نشين كردند تا سهل تر و بدون مانع و مزاحم عناصر غرب گرا و متمايل به مراوده ذلت بار و مرعوبانه با غرب را روي كار آورند!
    حضرت امام خميني در سخنان ذيل به اين شرايط تلخ و مظلوميت و غربت آيت الله كاشاني و تحركات ملي گرايان غرب گرا! تصريح مي كنند :
    « يك گروهي كه از اولش باطل بودند من از آن ريشه هايش مي دانم يك گروهي كه با اسلام و روحانيت اسلام سرسخت مخالف بودند از اولش هم مخالف بودند اولش هم وقتي كه مرحوم آيت الله كاشاني ديد كه اين ها خلاف دارند مي كنند و صحبت كرد اين ها يك سگي را نزديكي مجلس عينك به آن زدند و اسمش را « آيت الله » گذاشتند! اين در آن زمان بود كه اينها فخر مي كنند به وجود او. او هم مسلم نبود. من در آن روز در منزل يكي از علماي تهران بودم كه اين خبر را شنيدم كه يك سگي را عينك زده اند و به اسم « آيت الله » توي خيابان ها مي گردانند. من به آن آقا عرض كردم كه اين ديگر مخالفت با شخص نيست اين سيلي خواهد خورد. و طولي نكشيد كه سيلي را خورد. و اگر مانده بود سيلي بر اسلام مي زد . » (4 )
    حضرت امام خميني در قبل و بعد از اين سخنان به حركت ضداسلامي جبهه ملي پس از پيروزي انقلاب و در مخالفت با لايحه قصاص و اعلام راهپيمايي عليه حكم ضروري قرآن اشاره مي كنند و به اين واقعيت تصريح مي كنند كه ملي گرايان امروز همان ملي گرايان ديروز هستند و جريان مرموز غرب گرايي كه ديروز و امروز با انتساب خود به مردم و حكومت ملي پنجه در چهره مقدس اسلام انداخته است با استعمار خارجي در تقابل با دين حق و عداوت با قوانين الهي و تلاش مخرب براي جلوگيري از تحقق حكومت اسلامي در ايران داراي خط مشي واحد مي باشند.
    عبارت حضرت امام خميني پس از مطرح كردن جنگ رواني و هتك حرمت و ترور شخصيت آيت الله كاشاني توسط ملي گرايان و طرفداران مصدق و پس از اشاره به مخالفت جبهه ملي با لايحه قرآني قصاص چنين است :
    « اينها تفاله هاي آن جمعيت هستند كه حالا قصاص را حكم ضروري اسلام را غيرانساني مي خوانند! » (5 )
    اين عبارت در عين كوتاهي پيام هاي بلند و ماندگار و بيدار كننده در دل خود دارد و اعلام مي كند كه جريان و احزاب موسوم به جبهه ملي و نهضت آزادي و گروه هاي به اصطلاح ملي ـ مذهبي هيچ گاه با اسلام و روحانيت و حكومت ديني سرسازش نداشته اند و همواره بر طبل عداوت و مخالفت عليه قوانين قرآن كوبيده اند و از دنياي غرب حمايت كرده اند و زمينه ساز نفوذ و سلطه قدرت هاي استعماري شده اند.
    فراموش نكنيم كه همين جريان هاي ملي گراي شيفته فرهنگ و تفكر غربي خاستگاه اصلي اسلام هاي التقاطي ـ و البته بيشتر از نوع التقاط غربي كه عبارت است از آميخته شدن آموزه ها و تعاليم اسلامي با مفاهيم مكتب هاي فكري و فلسفي و سياسي دنياي غرب ـ بوده و هستند و همواره ضربات سختي به نسل هاي ديروز و امروز زده و مي زنند و به صورت نامرئي و مرموز جوانان اين مرز و بوم را با وعده دست يابي به حقيقت به سراب تخيلات و افكار واهي و مغشوش مي رسانند و از همين جاست كه مسئوليت هاي علماي دين و مراكز حوزوي و دانشگاهي و سازمان هاي فرهنگي و رسانه هاي گروهي به ويژه مطبوعات در آگاهي بخشي و ايجاد بينش هاي عميق و راهگشا و مقصدرسان براي نسل امروز بسيار مهم و سنگين و حياتي مي گردد و هرگونه مسامحه و غفلت در انجام اين رسالت بزرگ زمينه ساز تهاجم بيشتر و متداوم فرهنگ غرب خواهد گرديد.

    در نگاه حضرت امام خميني مجاهدات خستگي ناپذير آيت الله كاشاني اولا در تداوم حركت ميرزاي شيرازي و شيخ فضل الله نوري به ظهور و بروز درآمد. ثانيا محور اصلي اين مبارزات وقفه ناپذير اسلام و قوانين مترقي و زندگي ساز آن بود. ثالثا از ابتداي اين حركت مخالفت سرسختانه ايادي داخلي استعمار و شيفتگان غرب و انگليس و آمريكا به شكل حركت هاي مرموز ملي ! و در عين حال غربي ! آغاز شد و به هتك حرمت آيت الله كاشاني و ترور شخصيت و خانه نشيني او منتهي گرديد
    آيت الله كاشاني در همان حال كه در زندان انگليسي ها مورد شديدترين شكنجه قرار گرفت خطاب به افسران انگليسي گفت : اگر در زندان شما بميرم ننگ ابدي بر شما خواهد بود و اگر سالم بيرون آيم كاري خواهم كرد كه شير نفت به روي انگلستان بسته شود
