Mujahedin-Khalgh (MEK), John Bolton, Israel

Among most prominent activists in the Iranian opposition, the PMOI is rarely remembered kindly, when they are bothered to be remembered at all. Already discredited among most Iranians for their alliance with Saddam Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, and despised by Kurds everywhere for willfully participating in Hussein's genocidal campaigns against them, the Mojahedin have come to be seen by most Iranians as an embarrassing aberration in the political landscape. While the Islamic Republic has a virulent hostility towards the group, most secular left or reformist Iranians also will have nothing to do with the group and reject its inclusion in any coalitions to oppose the regime. In Europe and the US, during anti-regime demonstrations supporting the Green Movement, the appearance of PMOI flags or leaflets often led to standoffs and even fights among the demonstrators, with PMOI agents far outnumbered. They now stand all alone in the Iranian scene, with their only true supporters drawn from the Israel Lobby and the margins of US and European politics.

Israel’s Iranian Opposition?

by MOOSIRvaPIAZ on

From the people who initiated the NIAC is evil campaign. They said NIAC is a regime apologist organization, NIAC is bad for democracy etc. Having once had warm relations with Saddam Hussein for political gain, now they cozy up with the people who brought you two wars in the middle-east and advocate a third - Iran. If this isn't an indication of how delicate the issue of democracy for Iran is I don't know what is. Stand up and be counted in the fight for Iran's future or be outmatched by a resourceful, cunning cult who will not hesitate to exploit the naivete of many of us to further their agenda.

by pastor bill rennick on

the relationship between ma'ar and affee! That's you need a much more vicious thugs than akhoonds to destroy akhoonds! If MEKs  are thrown at the mullahs and they end up doing the job then we say oh yeah baby!

I am not a runner, and I will continue to defend the rights of PMOI.  We'll see who will contribute the most to iran's freedom and advancement.  Whenever iran does form a legitimate government, if anyone of you haters ever harm any pmoi member you will be thrown in jail.  In the future government there will be equality for all.  Don't be a past-dweller.

Mehrdad: Thanks for the compliments.

My position is very simple. I am nationalist. I support a secular; democratic and free Iran. I put Iran first and that is the basis of my previous disagreements over Palestine. I also want a unified Iran which is both powerful and respected. MKO failed Iran in all the important ways. IRI has also failed but not as badly as MKO. The IRI at least did not sell out to Saddam. 

Farhad: You are telling me that MKO "asked" Saddam for help to free Iran? Do you think that Saddam is a philanthropist? Rajavi just went to Saddam and said: oh Saddahm joon please help me free Iran. What do you think Saddam wanted in return! Hint: Khusestan and to make Iran a slave. Plus he asked MKO to please kill some Kurds to help uncle Saddam. MKO said sure; anything for our big daddy. Thank God Iran won and Saddam is in hell now.

Farhad, if you go to "defend" MKO in Iran you better be a good runner. I promise you it will be needed when angry Iranians chase you out of town.

Thanks Farhad for the good post

by fooladi on

Nothing more than a dialogue amongst Iranians of all political beliefs frightens the islamic regime. As you can see by angry and frustrated howls of their Mozdoors on this blog. Having heard their howls, I am definitely going to read more about MKO and their objectives, so thanks for the links. I have not really supported them, because of their Islamist ideology. I hope they hyave move passed that now..... 

I believe that any Iranian political group which is committed to the idea of overthrowing the criminal islamic regime and replacing it with a democratic government selected in an election open to ALL to participate and vote , must be supported. I believe that is exactly what Iranians want and what the green movement is all about. So let the west residing mozdoors of regime howl in anger and frustration whilst they see their sources of income is evaporating.

Good news

I am happy to learn that the MKO is openly siding with AIPAC, JINSA and all the other Zionist organisations. There is unity in evil.

Respect and Vote

by farhad450 on

I know the iran-iraq war is the issue most Iranians hate mojahedin for.  I don’t know all the details of that time but I am 110% positive their objective was to free iran and not to hand over iran to psycho sadam.  I personally prefer a domestic force for iran’s freedom, if compromise can not be reached.  The future government in iran whether federal, republic, or what ever must respect other political parties.  The people will vote.  I do not appreciate all the hatred and I will strongly defend the rights of the PMOI now and in the future.  As far as details on the mojahedin activities I can only refer you to their discussions on youtube, and no I am not trying to spread propaganda.              //www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvWYJb8Tzn4&feature=related

Otherwise it wouldn't get so "gooshad"

Also, I wouldn't put it past you to be a bache talabeh.  MEK memebers  go thru the same training, yours just may have taken place in a camp in Iraq.

OK VPK.

by fooladi on

I let Farhad answer your comments.

All I can tell you VPK is that I was a kid in Iran during the war and remember the missiles landing in Tehran. I was told at school precisely what you are saying. More recently, I read about the events and found not all were true. I do agree with you that election of rajavis as president of Iran is weird, and number of others. I dont believe MKO want to take power in Iran. at least they say so on their web site. But nobody can be trusted, and that is why all of us are hoping and working for a future democratic Iran where people can choose their government .

Finally , only Islamist Rats benefit from a division in opposition. This is precisely why they lasted so long. The Iranian opposition are very fractured. Just look at west, where people live side by side, no matter what their political affiliations. They dont go around asking for each other's execution VPK. Give you another example.

Again, my two cents.

Call me Islamist, if that is what Mayam joonet wants you guys to use... as long as I am not called MEK supporter.

Mehrdad

P.S. See, you were much better off when U had kept your mouth shut about MEK and disguised yourself as an Iranian.  Now that your other master (Saddam) is dead... you are looking for a new "late sare mahaleh" to be their "noocheh".

OK, Farhad is calling these guys "Patriots" and "Courageous". These are the sme who sided with Saddam against Iran; participated in the murder of Kurds; were going to hand Khusestan to Saddam; forcibly break up families; declare an unelected person "President" of Iran. Worse of all they shot at Iranian soldiers who were trying to save our nation from an Iraqi invasion. The Iraq was was not against IRI it was against Iran.

For God's sake man, how could anyone call these patriots. It is an insult to all those real heroes who fought Saddam. 

I would love to see a vote taken of all Iranians. Ask the people both inside and ouside: Do you consider MKO partiots or traitors? I would venture that 95%+ will say traitors. Probably more like 99%.

I already gave reasons why MKO is undemocratic. How dare they claim Maryam Rajavi is Iran's President? Who voted for her? Iran needs another Islamic government like a hole in its head.

now I am smelling the stench of an islamist Rat

by fooladi on

trying to create division between Iranians! The stinky, horrible , devious, cowardly Rat hiding under the nickname "bavafa".

Call the pest control somebody....

VPK: We sure have had our differences in the past

by Bavafa on

But my renewed respect for you for recognizing traitors and pointing out what MEK really is, another fascist radical Islamist group. That is the last thing Iranians need.

As I said in another post, 31 years of brutal dictatorship by a religious regime ought to be enough for Iranians.  It is time to give democracy, secularism and independence a chance.

VPK Please.....

by fooladi on

I read through Farhad's comments and I do not understand why you are so mad at him!

He has some valid points and some invalid points (at least in my opinion). If you disagree with him, why cant you debate with him in a civil manner? Surely this is the purpose of this forum.... 

Just my two cents......

MEK deserve a lot more than mindless hatred. The IRI prisons are too good for them. Patriots my a**. They define what traitor means. If you have respect for them you are either one of them or an ignorant man. 

I do agree that Bolton and MEK are great bedfellows. Both traitors to their nations. Both mindless evil bastards. If it comes to it ALL Iranians including me will band together to keep MEK out of power in Iran.

The MEK leadership must and will be punished. The low ranks may have a hope of being re integrated into the human race. It will require they denounce the Rajavi cult first.

In summary: you are not fooling us. The IRI is falling and the rats smell an opportunity. No frigging way! Now back for more orders from Rajavi the human excrement and his wife the garbage.

Without respect

VPK

PS,

Don't bother with more MEK propaganda. We are on to them and their supporters.

Stop this mindless hatred

by farhad450 on

I have seen this mindless hatred in some Iranians as well, and it’s absolutely wrong.  Mojahedin are some of iran’s greatest patriots.  Putting their lives on the line for iran’s freedom.  You call them traitors for asking for help from sadam to free iran.  At the time they were being slaughtered in the thousands by the regime.  You honestly don’t think they were trying to free iran.  It is easy for you criticize them from behind the computer while they are the ones fighting for freedom for the last 30 years.  When ashraf attack happened you turned a blind eye to your own people.  You ask for human rights, not for mojahedin, but only for your own kind.  What does that say about you as a human being?  This closed minded prejudiced hatred in some Iranians against MEK makes me sick as an iranian.  I am not a member of MEK but I have great respect for them.  They are true men and women of character.  I am glad they didn’t give up the resistance.  Because they taught me about character (main two being selflessness and courage).  All I learned from most other Iranians was self-interest and showing off.  The objective of MEK is to free iran and not to takeover and make a dictatorship which most of you closed minded people think. While you go about planning you next party or which concert to go to on weekend, they are the ones on the frontline.  Me and the mojahedin will be part of building the future iran whether you like it or not.  Iran will be a nation of dignity.  Human right for all and not just for your party-going self-interested kind.  A mojahed defines righteousness.  I don’t care if you don’t like rajavi, but respect the courageous mojahedin members.

Great article

by MM on

 

 Besides what MKO have done in the past, the activities below are also troubling (from the article):

"Furthermore the group exerts control of many aspects of members' personal lives, including in matters of marriage, divorce and parenting. Given what they have become, any idea of their resurgence as a valid player in Iranian politics strikes me as one of the most terrifying possibilities for Iran's future."

"PMOI represent themselves -- in videos they have produced. Also, here, and here and here (and you can find many more just by clicking on the related videos or googling the group’s other videos)............and tell me if you don't find a chill creeping down your spine… Echoes of Triumph of the Will, or the Dear Leader… "

Great article, and a great comment by you

And no wonder where MEK (which is a potent poison) finds support, John Bolton and Israel.  Need I say more?
