In the context of this discussion MEK is referred to its leadership and its doctrine
MEK is one of the Iranian political groups with some very distinctive attributes, some of which that is the source of great ill if not outright hatred for many ordinary Iranians. They are a religious-Marxist group in ideology though they are not the same as religious fundamentalist. They believe in armed resistance and have carried out assassinations and killings of their opponent but in my view they are not as other groups like AlQeda or similar groups who are committed mass killing of civilians in order to create fear and chaos, although their role in mass killing of Iraqi Shiite could put them in the same category as AlQeda. They seem to be organized, yet as undemocratic as N. Korea or Saudi Arabia. There is ample evidence about the harsh treatment of their members in Camp Ashraf and hardly any model for any future democratic and free Iran.
However, one attribute that they have consistently acted in a manner that vast majority of Iranians qualify as treason, siding and joining with Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war is one of the highlight of that treasonous act.
– Can or should Iranians forgive/forget MEK treason to the mother land?
– In light of their past and present history can Iranians trust this group to join the opposition?
– What is the goal of aligning with this group and what is it expected to be achieved by this group?
– What are the consequences of US/MEK alignment for Iranian people and the opposition groups to IRI?
