SIMONEH My Comments don't endorse the MKO Ideology

This has nothing to do with their politics or cultridden organization.

Man Slaughter overlooked by a Government recognized by the United Nations and which has signed the Universal Charter of Human Rights as it was established in 1948 upon the very inception of the UN is Unacceptable PERIODE !

Governments are responsible for the Security of their own Inhabitants and that even includes Prisoners of War !

This is Not Even an Act of WAR like let's say between two countries or two governments at odds !

It is Slaughtering Defensless people held in a Camp for whatever reasons that may be and who are entitled to protection by the Government even if it holds them in custody.

That's what you get for

That's what you get for sleeping with Tazi arabs.

Mujaheden are mirror image of Hezbollah & Islamic parasite.

To Soosan Khanoom since the other blog is closed for comments

I meant to leave a comment on the blog regarding "Leila Farjami" but it
looks like that it is closed for commenting. On that blog, one or two
commentators have commented that Leila' poem does not come from the
heart and it looks like she has not personally experienced what she has
written about, therefore her poem does not touch the reader. I just
wanted to say that commentators should talk for themselves. Soosan
khanoom was the one who made that comment and how did she come to
conclusion that Leila's poem does not touch other readers? Did she go
around asking 100 women whether Leila's poem was powerful for them? Also
how does Soosan Khanoom know that the poet has not experienced
personally what she writes about?

I happen to think that Leila' poem addresses an important issue. I have
no clue about meaning of some of the comments that Soosan Khanoom made
on that thread and their relevance to Leila's poem. Like the last one
where she says that women in the west have moved on, etc. When a person
make a kind of comment that certain poem or writing does not touch the
reader, that is so wrong unless they have really gone around asking
others about the effect of the poem. Also, why is the thread closed? Now
that we want to answer SK's comment, thread is closed for commenting.
May be to be fair to the poet, Soosan Khanoom' s comments should be
deleted.

It is true that some other commentator responded to SK but as it is, SK gets to have the last word on that thread.

Message to Soosan Khanoom, please speak for yourself and don't assume
you represent other women. For all we know, you may not even be a woman
since you don't use your real name.

Thank you and good luck  

Well said Mr.

Well said Mr. Kadivar. 

This people has been suffering for 30 years, scarifying themselves and their families, fighting against Islamic Republic, then you sit there Ms. Azarin and label them as terrorist. 

I am not a fan of mojahedin, but i respect them for being the first and the most consistent group, fighting this regime for all these years. what "WE" have done? 

Half Iraq

Should be Iranian terriroty! May I remind you that Ctesiphon; 10 miles from Bagdad was the Capitol of Ashkanid and Sassanid? By historical right that region is Iranian terriroty and part of Iran.

Ashraf is in a region that belongs to Iran. I do not support IR but they are not interfering with Iraq. It is Iranian territory and therefore in their region of influence. I hope to see Ctesiphon rebuilt or at least preserved.

Ashraf

Has become a prison for the MKO rank and file. I have said for a long time that these people should:

• Be allowed to leave Camp Ashraf.
• Many of the rank and file have not comitted any real crimes except being stupid. Therefore those who renounce their membership in MKO should:
  • Be given a choice of refugee status in whatever nation takes tme or go back to Iran.
  • In my opinion most of them should be given light sentences as long as they did not kill anyone. The sentences should be around probation with no jail or maybe a year depending on what they did.
  • After they are processed they should be allowed to rejoin their families and the greater Iranian society.
• Once all the people are gone Ashraf should be dismantled and perhaps turned into a museum. A monument to stupidity and a failed group.

Wide range of reaction on the MKO

  I really resent Iranian influence in Iraq as it want's nothing else but Iraq to be either a battlefield or a territory.
Or Both....Many Iraqi's are under that influence too which can't be helped but I doubt they really want to become a Iranian territory.No I think many Iraqi's know that Iran had a big hand doing the killing there,despite the picture that get's painted of them by the press.And if that's true,Iran has less of a chance taking over..In fact it could be just the opposite.Maybe Maliki is not the total puppet of Iran that he appears.In fact it's possible that Maliki took out some MKO to get the I.R.I. to stop bombing Iraq..Really what choice was there? Don't confuse the motive,Who is it that wanted them gone? And imagine trying to make a new Iraq with a pissed off Iran next door? Impossible.Shameful loss of life.I expect terrorist's to die deserving it,don't you? Would you ask the executioner 'Who were these dead people and what did they do?'.Certainly they don't compare to terrorist's waging war TODAY in the 'Army of Allah'..
 Iraq is pretty much free although Maliki is not really elected,he's in charge.It's better off for Iraq to be friends with their Neighbors of course but the War is on Politically.This may take some of the fire out of Iran's bomb's.

Azarin Jan For an Award Winning Writer Where's Your Empathy ?

You Folks call yourselves Poets, writers, and Intellectuals ?

What's Wrong with your generation ? Just Like your parents rightly

reminded you that you got it wrong back in 79 on the Shah,

I'm afraid Your No Wiser in 2011 ...

Your Comments on Libya are equally outrageous ... Yani Chih Dokhtar Khanoum ? ... 

This has Nothing to do with Politics ...

For Christ's Sake People like You, Irandokht, Fariba Amini, Leila Farjami and Co are the most confused generation of Iranians I have come across ...

32 Years of exposure to the Islamic Republic's Mumbo Jumbo propaganda and counter propaganda and a culture clash with the West must have F@&KED Your Brains Irreversibly. Or is it the "Ab o Hava" In Your Beautiful Los Angeles/Irangeles that particularly drives Iranians Waco ?  

No wonder it has truly driven some of you to confuse Everything in terms of human values, curiosity in others or interaction with Reality and Truth !

Maybe having lived in Iran during the Iran Iraq War or having been exposed to images of violence at an early age has been a trauma and could explain this selective Immunity when it comes to other people's sufferings.

As the French would say Your Outlook on the World is "Nombriliste" at best ...  

The History of Iran is drenched in blood, vengeance and fratricide hatred ! 

This Should Stop ! 

You Folks are Troubled at best ! ...

And Win Awards for it too ...

Obama: Nobel Peace Prize 'A Call to Action'

Dirty sect....

In my opinion Mojahedin khalgh  is not a Political group at all but a SECT with a tyrannical Guru using violent methods!

Rajavi couple are thirsty for power and poor and naive members are hostages of Razavi's EGO ! This leaders are fully responsable for what  happenned to their own members and they must answer in front of a trial !

few weeks ago i heard this program

//www.bbc.co.uk/persian/tv/2011/03/110323_hardtalk_edward_termado.shtml

 i know some will say he is a jassos blablabla, but he didn't sound like it to me and it helped me to understand a little bit about how an ordinary man can involve himself with this "unrespectful" group! its very difficult to understand how people loose their own reasoning and accept to be dictated. human nature is so strange !!

Where are Massoud & Maryam?

• Shouldn't they issue an official statement about these incidnets?
• What country are they supposed to be sent to?
• Has US government finally made a concession to IRI to elliminate MKO in exchange for the Caspian gas and survival of the regime?
• Why so many MKO have Saddam look-alike mustache?

MKO

I condemn the outrageous murder of these Iranian civilians and this only goes to show that Bush's misadventure in Iraq has made the leadership a puppet of the IR terrorists. 

I condemn the MKO for the part it had to play in the so-called revolution (catastrophe) of 1979 and spreading its vile Islamist-Marxists propaganda and lets not forget that many of its members were only too happy to take part in executions of the former Shahanshah regime.

However, where the MKO have killed the top brass of the Islamic Republic I fully condone and support their actions. The killing of the IR ministers, judiciary, sepah and Basij and all the instruments of terror is a supreme noble act and I cannot find fault with their tactic.

For those of you who oppose the MKO then ask yourself why are they the most effectively organised opposition movement outside Iran? It can't all boil down to money because there are many rich Iranians, especially Monarchists who are capable of funding a similar movement if they wished. The MKO for all their fault have balls. Something which none of the Iranian opposition movement including, unfortunately, Shahzadeh Reza Pahlavi seem to have. They know and deep down- so does Reza Pahlavi- that this regime will not go without a fight. Wanting to wage war on the Mullahs and advocating violence against the most tyranical regime on earth it not easy and will not make you loved but this is not a popularity contest.

I call on the MKO to denounce Islam and Marxism, support a secular Iranian democracy and the form of governance to be decided by the Iranian people in a free and genuine referendum. 

There are so many real causes...MKO is a waste.

I prefer to spend my energy to help the real victims, not a bunch of terrorists. They don't deserve my empathy.

Raast Begoo, Chert Nagoo

Rastgoo jaan, I have a problem with this statement...

"They fled to France but they learned they were to be handed over to the Iranian regime by French government, only place that would take them: Iraq."

Since 1978 close to 2 million Iranians have fled Iran and have found refuge all over the world and these chomps couldn't find ANY other godforsaken place to take them in except Saddam's regime? That sounds like bending the truth a little, lets face it, they had no business going to Iraq to wage a war against their own people and now they're paying their karmic debt, good riddance!

Roozbeh Khan

راست گو، راست میگی‌!

Dear Rastgo, good to read your detailed comment. Despite my issues with MKO policy and ideology, I found it refreshing reading your overall balanced, and informative comment amongst the hate filled comments by the known agents of the islamist regime on this site.

A question for you: Do you see a prospect for  this tragic event, and resulting sympathy from all opposition forces, becoming a catalyst for MKO leadership to truely embrace the democratic path for future Iran and join the rest of the opposition forces - regardless of their ideology-  in forming a united anti fascist front with clear aim of overthrowing the islamist regime and replacing it with a secular democracy?  

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

Rastgoo

I am not agree with things you said about MKO ..... from day one they were trained to commit suicide in any given circumstances either by killing themselves taking pills once captured ( as we witnessed many of the members did at the time of Shah ) or becoming the suicide bombers killing many innocent passer by in between. I can not recall people congradualting themselves when any one guilty or not guilty got blown up  in the most inhumane ways ....  

you must be  an old fan and your brian still needs some reformatting .....

Please give us a break ..... they are the most hated group against the oppositions inside and outside of Iran .....

I feel so bad for any one who fell for this dangerous cult  ........ 

From day one they have never been any better than IRI. As the matter of fact they are even worse and that is if they had been given the chance to rule over Iran.

And they did not start it by being simply against Velayateh faghi ...because they are not ..... they already have one " Ayatoallah Rajavi " ! 

Do not make them look so cool cause then you are just fooling yourself.  

Quick summary

1.  They do not want to leave Ashraf because the leadership has decided that it is a symbolic gesture of resistance against the Iranian regime.  This is in direct analogy with Imam Hussain's martyrdom at Karbala.  The leadership is ready to sacrifice them for the sake of martyrdom.

2.  The MKO members are not terrorists.  They lost favor with Khomeini because they voted against the velayateh-faghih constitution.  Against the Ghesas justice system.  Against freedoms that they fought for.  They fought against the ruthless and despotic theocratic regime that raped their 14-16 year old girls before their execution (otherwise a virgin would automatically go to heaven), took eye balls out of others, charged their families for the price of the bullets that were used in their execution, etc.  And you didn't expect an armed organization to fight back?  There were over 500,000 Tehran demonstrators in their support near the end. So at one point they had a lot of support and all of this "terrorist" labeling is monday morning quarterbacking.  I remember people congratulating each other after each assassination of the regime's highest ranks.  True now that we have all grown older and wiser we recognize that armed struggle in that situation was wrong.  But someone tell that to George Washington and the Americans.  Or the Libyans fighting Qadafi because that is exactly what the MKO expected.

3.  They initially fled to France but once they learned that they were going to be handed over to the Iranian regime by the French government they escaped to the only place that would take them: Iraq.  Keep in mind that their fighters were also in Iran/Iraq Kurdistan region fighting the regime and strategically for an armed resistance it made sense.

4.  They have been a thorn in the regime's eyes for the past 32 years.  Hence they are subject to the severest propaganda campaigns by the regime.  Don't believe everything you read about  them.  For example, they did not kill the Iraqi shia or kurds after the 1st gulf war.  There is no evidence for this commonly claimed accusation.

5.  The MKO leadership have degraded the MKO organization to the point that there is almost no sympathy for them among the Iranians.  Their stubborn and righteous attitudes have kept them from coalescing with the other opposition groups.  Let's hope that their leadership is changed and a new pragmatic leadership takes over that is not still fixated by the 1960's liberation movement techniques.  

6.  No matter what they have done the Iraqi regime has no right to kill them especially since they have renounced armed struggle since 2003.

7.  I'm willing to bet that most of you who are critical of them fighting along side the Iraqi army (in that senseless war that only killed and maimed one million Iranians) were not even bothered by that war.  You were comfortably overseas attending concerts every weekend or back home away from the front.  After all it was only the poor kids that did the fighting just like any other country and you my friend reading this blog are not an economically disadvantaged Iranian.  The truth is most of you didn't even care that this war was meaningless.  It was all about us Persians against those barbarian Arabs.  Hubris.

LOL "khebedin,"--"they were planning to topple the government

of Iraq."  LOL!!!!

Yeah...a group of people, armed with shovels and sticks (may be a dozen AK-47's that they had stahsed somewhere) and monitored by the U.S. military around the clock, were going to take on the Iraqi government, attack the "Green Zone" (hundreds of miles away), fight thousands of U.S. soldiers armed with every heavy weapon under the sun...and attack helicopters, aircraft, etc...and bring down the Iraqi government...and then I guess establish their own government with Rajavi as their president, right?!!!  LOL!!!!!

Now, this is what I call poorly drafted propaganda.  I guess they hadn't planned for this one, so they had to come up with the story on the fly.  The result: total absurdity!!! 

Hala "y" bedin. 

The news is comming out.

The news is comming out. They were planning to topple the government of Iraq. They were all armed and well preared. Aparantly they were the Americans who alerted the Iraqi government.

As you sow so shall you

As you sow so shall you reap .

These criminals should not expect any other thing. They are part of SADAM's family, fed and raised by SADAM.  No one should feel sorry for them.

JJ you are factually wrong they were armed and killed Iraqis too

These are Fundamentalists with little support in iran and may enemies.  They are one of the usa/uk's top choices for replacing the mullahs, so from a democratic standpoint if thats what you want to see in Iran in the future, losing these guys will not be such a bad thing.

The EU should put them back on the terrorist list for klling Iraqi soldiers.

Oops I forgot, neither the US or EU who brought the IRI to power actually want to see Freedom and Democracy for Iranians, they just want to replace one group of mullahs with another group of mullahs they can more easily dominate.  

Truth can only be seen by a few.

and Esfand jan

thanks for eye opening links ........ we lived 32 years under IRI why not the next 32 years under MKO ?  It can't get more fun than that !!

Now the more I dig into this the more I think somehow this is a set up event by CIA ........ they are up to something ........ come on Malaki s not drinking water without CIA permission and IRI is an asshole serving them at last indirectly ......... come on everyone get real  !!

But don't worry U.S has their backs

 On 17 March 2011, in a bi-partisan conference on Capitol Hill, titled, "Iran Rising for Freedom—U.S. Policy Prospects," former top officials of the Obama as well as Clinton and Bush administrations joined senior Members of Congress. They urged the Obama Administration to adopt a new policy in support of Iranians who are demanding change in Iran and removeIran's principal opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) from the State Department's list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations. They also called for the protection of Camp Ashraf, Iraq, home to the 3,400 members (including 1,000 women) of MEK.  

On the occasion of the Iranian New Year, Nowrouz, General James Jones had the following for the Iranian people: "I propose three gifts. The first one is successfully delisting the MEK, the second one ...is insuring the security of the people of Camp Ashraf and the third is to support the popular movement for freedom as expressed by Iranians both inside and outside of Iran." 

Governor Dean stated that, "The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, (MEK) is not a terrorist group, and we need to delist them immediately. The MEK is a movement for freedom and democracy in Iran... The MEK has 3,400 brave people who believe in democracy just as firmly as those people in Benghazi, Libya as well as the people in Tahrir Square, Egypt did; hence, we cannot abandon its members in Camp Ashraf, Iraq

In celebration of the Iranian New Year, Representative John Lewis (D-GA), who is called "the conscience of the U.S. Congress," wished a, "Happy New Year to Iranians in Camp Ashraf and the people in Iran committed to peace and to change," and concluded: "Time is always right to do right. The time is now. Not next week, not next month, not next year, but now.". 

Former U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey called MEK a moderate, secular and democratic political organization as well as the largest and most organized opposition group in Iran. "We must make it clear that we stand with those who stand for freedom," he said.

حقوقدانان جنبش سبز: کشتار نيروهای مجاهدين خلق را قوياً محکوم می

//news.gooya.com/politics/archives/2011/04/12...

Islamist regime, shooting itself in it's foot again!

mediun to long term, this tragic act of terrorism (Yes, a tragic act, as unless you are a paid agent of the islamist regime hiding your ugly, cowardly face and identity behind the flag of the United States of America, you'd not rejoice the cold blooded murder of an unarmed human being no matter how much you disagree with his politics) will help boost the popularity of MKO in Iran. After all an organisation built on the foundation of martyrdom needs martyrs on an ongoing basis to emphasise it's ideological roots. 

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

I feel sorry for this yet another group of fellow Iranians

who no one appear to care for.   I remember a sense of complete powerlessness during Iran-Iraq war.    Iranian/Iraqi cities were destroyed and people were killed needlessly for several years, only because the leaders Saddam and Khomanee did not give a damn about their own people.

 Here Mojahedeen supporters are also in the same boat used/abused/killed by all sorts of interest group:

 1:Islamic Regime-- Who needs Mojahedeen just like conservatives in U.S need Alqaeda.

 2:Rajavis-- Who let their supporters burn themselves to death so Marym won't be held in French priosn.   And she did not shed a tear!  Why are these folks in Iraq anyway?   Can't they ask for Asylum?

 3:Outside powers, who use them as a toy to settle score with Islamic Regime.  Is it a conincident that this should happen a day after supposedly Mojahedeen leaked yet another nuke base in Iran?

 Sad day indeed.

May we all have good dreams.

Attacking and killing unarmed men and women is dead wrong

 No matter who they are and it ought to be condemned.

Since I can not say it any better, I am just copy & pasting the comment I agree and find most relevant.

"I personally think that these people need to be taken out of Iraq under UN supervision and taken to a safe place where they can be de-programmed from the cult mindset.  Rajavi and the his wife should be put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, both in Iraq and Iran-when Iran has a decent government with an independent judiciary (and also for creating this death cult)."

Hope AO doesn't mind

Mehrdad

Please don't insult Byyyyyatches!

Maryam is much worse than a B, she used to give speeches about saving bullets for the shia of Iraq,... So she and the hubby definitely have couple of seats reserved in the court's VIP section.

The rank and file however don't seem to be as VIP, so they get slaughtered like sheeps, and we all enjoy it  asking for more blood! It's a dark day for Iran.
