Are you saying that the MKO

Are you saying that the MKO that fought Iranian soldiers with Iraqi help in the Iran-Iraq war is more Iranian than the current regime???

I guess the answer you would want me to say is yes, absolutely. So I say it.

I personally don't play with this flawed notion of 'Iranianism' under which many Iranians were killed by other Iranians. In this case, many many more mojahed Iranians were killed by IRI than the other way around. My criteria is not 'Iranianism', which IRI doesn't claim anyway. What they claim is Islamism. So even by that 'Iranianism' standard, MKO is much more Iranian than IRI.

But my criteria is modernism and secularity. MKO even as a cult, is more progressist in that sense than IRI.

I know the history is written by blood of people, from one end or the other. I can't differentiate -actually I do- between those who feed from the blood, like IRI, and those who are victims of it, wherever they are. Khomeini started feeding from blood when he was in France. But of-course that doesn't count! Because he was not physically holding a weapon.

Many of Rwanda genocide leaders are claiming the same thing mind you! 

Maybe I'm just too old to be impressed by crap propaganda!

Very interesting interview. thanks

Specially the first part with the woman journalist. I agree with Nur, he is not suggesting any such thing at all. Besides, MKO is an Iranian cult. The term used here is very much IRI biased propaganda. They are Iranians. They are children of Iran. They are not 'murderers'. They fight IRI, the wrong fight. But they never ever had intention to 'murder' any Iranian. At least, they are more Iranian than any IRI payed agent for sure.

He isn't advocating any such thing

This was actually a great interview and shows that the Iraqi Shi'a establishment is finally beginning to hold its own against the Khomeinist heretical parasite. In one part of the interview when the interviewer asks him about the VF as he denounces it, he matter of factly says that the IR leadership and agents would harm even the Prophet Muhammad (sws) Himself over this issue. Finally someone amongst the Shi'a 'ulama had the righteous temerity to say this point blank!

As far as the main subject of the blog is considered: Iyad Jamal al-Din is making a very sound, strategic argument: if the IR continues to interfere in Iraqi domestic affairs through the IRGC and its proxies, then the Iraqis should reserve the right to do the same with the MKO using it against the IR. He is not advocating any indiscriminate killing of Iranians as you suggest. He is making an argument that any sovereign state would make against domestic interference in its internal affairs, and it is the same argument the IR itself has made and continues to make against the Iranian opposition and its purported foreign backers, whether Green or otherwise.
