Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Musavi has said he is working on the charter of a new political front that would lay the groundwork for a large-scale social movement. The charter, which Musavi has said will be issued in the coming days, is seen as a potential means of building on the unity exhibited by those protesting the results of Iran's June 12 presidential election.Musavi, who's been described by some as the "accidental leader" of the Green opposition movement, says the charter of his new political front seek to realize the "neglected potential" of the Iranian Constitution. Musavi provided few details, but during a July 23 meeting with members of the media he indicated the charter would go beyond his reported intention to form a group or front. He said it will aim to be a unifying foundation for those who have joined the Green movement. "We are looking for a slogan that would increase people's adherence and connection and would be used by people," his website quoted him as saying.

we should support the movement

I believe this movement should get the maximum support from all Iranians opposed to IR.This movement and its tactics are very calculated and adapted to the environment and system that IR has in place. Mousavi and co. are definitely leading this movement. They have their own stretegy and it seems they have the support of the masses for the time being..They have also ( for me at least ) shown how totally irrelevant and feeble the little opposition pockets in Diaspora are ( MKO , Pahlavi , etc…).So weather we like the Islamic inclusion in the charter is good or bad or accepted or not , it is irrelevant. The masses seem to be behind it. This movement with its peaceful approach is the best way forward. Its measured demands ( not pushing for regime change now ) will cause minimum damage to Iran and welfare of Iranians.

depends

If he is planning to put the terms of unity in writing, he will HAVE to keep it secular and based on independence, territorial integrity, internationally accepted human rights priciples of: equality, freedom of expression, justice etc. 

 Otherrwise he better avoid it and leave the unity as is formed  . By bringing Islam and Islamic Republic in a written charter , he will divide the unity and not strenghten it and will alienate himself and seculars, unless that is his wish!

I have already addressed my views about him forming a political party in here //iranian.com/main/blog/david-et/mr-mousavi-should-we-laugh-or-cry-time
